Sure, maybe true, but it's like this: you didn't make as much as you could have. You aren't making what you used to make. What made you, isn't there anymore. Sure, still making a lot, but your reputation, your brand, your name isn't what it once was. It's opening the door to competition. Once a trend starts it's hard to reverse it. Slippery slope, don't wait until you are in free fall. Think of Woke as Cancer. Early symptoms don't seem to be anything more than a cramp, or a cough, maybe a little pink tint to your urine. Otherwise you're fine, nothing to worry about. You wait until it's stage 4 and you're chitting, pissing, and spitting blood to do something bout it, it's too late.

Worth noting the profit numbers for Thor are suspect. They include something like $120m that Disney+ paid itself for the streaming rights.
The third one was not "Ant Man", but "Guardians 3" (which was horrible and I walked out with like an hour left), but has grossed well over $800M so far.

Believe it or not, break-even for that one was $750m

There's a reason they ended the original avengers series. It was going to cost them a billion dollars to produce the next one with that cast.

Whatever this is, it's not capitalism.

The government can't print and hand out $10 trillion dollars to their chosen winners in capitalism.

Only watched the first one in 2012, and didn't watch any Marvel movies until last year (my girl likes them). They're all ****ing terrible anyway lol, but that's crazy how much they cost.

It did tho...In our system, corporations become large and powerful enough to capture the government

The same right wingers who now complain about Disney's disproportionate political and economic power defended its right to merge and acquire large media orgs and defended large businesses zealously.

We leftists warned you, but you did not listen. You only cared about your stock price.

Complaining about debt and spending was entirely halted during Trump's rule.

Most (but not all, I admit) of the problems blamed on "capitalism" are created by people fiddling with it to "fix" things.

The idiots in charge of the country don't understand economics. Whether it's corruption or stupidity, they begin to pick groups to "help". It doesn't work any better than when we pick groups to "help" in environmentalism.

Anyway, large companies aren't the problem. Large companies being able to buy lawmakers, who then remove any checks in the system, are the problem.

If this wasn't true, the woke trend would have ended years ago after ghostbusters 2017 and 1 or 2 more big woke flops. The fact it hasn't shows you they DON'T CARE about sales.
These.

I heard Disney is some $40 billion in debt. Yet they keep functioning?
