The Jonathan Majors verdict is an excellent excuse for Marvel to… stop the MCU.

I know what Marvel and Disney thinking. They’re thinking, We can still power through. To which I reply: I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, think it possible that you may be mistaken.

In a not so shocking turn of events for Marvel Studios has fired Jonathan Majors, who has been playing the mega MCU villain Kang the Conqueror. The decision comes following Majors’ recent guilty verdict in a domestic violence trial where he was charged with reckless assault and harassment.

I know that there’s still some money on the table to consider. But it’s not nearly as much money as it was, and the glory days are past. I’m not saying, don’t make superhero flicks. I love superhero flicks. But a collapse of the superhero movie market is not entirely impossible, these days. Some people are even actively working to make it a certainty.

So dial it back, and stop trying to connect everything. The MCU worked for as long as it needed to. Now you can go do something else that might work.
