I don't care. I'm glad Disney and the BBC aren't doing any more Doctor Who. The mouse is toxic. Everything the mouse touches loses its soul. Just look at the state of Marvel. A once proud franchise, and now diluted and over-produced crap. The mouse will squeeze every drop out of a franchise before killing it.

Of course, that is just my opinion; if you're a fan of the parks, I wish you the best. 🤮

? Disney bought Marvel at the end of 2009, so there were exactly TWO non-Disney Marvel movies:

Iron Man - May 2, 2008
The Incredible Hulk - June 13, 2008

Marvel was around decades before 2009. Marvel has become trash thanks to the mouse.

Gonna have to disagree with that. Marvel had a bunch of films of various quality, but pulling all the characters they had together under a single studio allowed them to do a ten year build up to Infinity War/Endgame which is something that’s never been done before and possibly never will again.

Sure, standards have been slipping since then, and I’m not going to argue that The Mouse is currently fascist-supporting and the Doctor Who collaboration absolutely wasn’t the high point in the show’s history. But the MCU proved that if you put your mind to something, you can produce greatness.
