Lucasfilm was the first to start flopping though. On paper, they should've been the last to produce a flop.
Her career has been super impressive. But at this point, it's clear she needs to retire & enjoy the rest of her life.
Lucasfilm hasn't had a theatrical hit since 2017. They haven't had one that's been a hit financially/critically/fan reception wise since Rogue One in 2016. I'm not even a Disney era LF hater. I loved TFA, liked Dial/Solo/RO & think TLJ/ROS are middling. But these really aren't movies that are connecting with audiences outside of TFA & RO.
TV seemed like it would've been their saving grace with how good the first two seasons of Mando & the final season TCW were. But then the quality went out the window with their shows recently (Andor excluded).
Lucasfilm desperately needs some changes & it should start from the top first.
Lucasfilm's been taking elements from the EU, it's just that the execution hasn't always been there. The sequels took elements of the Legacy of the Force novels, particularly Han & Leia's son turning to the dark side. Solo took elements of the early Han Solo novels, like Han being an Imperial soldier & saving Chewie from them. Mandalorian has taken a couple elements of Boba Fett's EU adventures, which led to them going that extremely disappointing route with Fett in his own show.
The Ms Marvel comics were some of the most succesful & beloved Marvel comics of the 2010s... You probably shouldn't be listening to YTers when it comes to stuff like that lmao
"Ms. Marvel #1 was a critical and commercial hit, earning high marks from reviewers while going into seven printings; the demand for the issue was so high, it required Marvel to create more comic books seven times over to keep up. According to Comic Chron, a site that tracks and estimates comic book sales, 75,280 physical issues of Ms. Marvel #1 were sold in 2014, landing it among the top 105 issues sold that year (keep in mind that multiple issues of comics from multiple publishers are released every week).
Digitally (where sales aren’t reported by comic book companies thoroughly), we know that Ms. Marvel has traditionally been one of Marvel’s bestsellers and that over 500,000 trade paperbacks (collected, physical editions of the comic book) have been sold as of 2018."
Ms. Marvel’s superpower is changing the way Marvel thought about its readers.
