1. Way More Diversity

Uh oh, I used the D word.

Look, one of the reasons Wonder Woman was the buzziest superhero movie of the year was that it felt like something new. A big budget, female-led, female-directed superhero movie was unlike anything we'd seen before, and it felt like a breath of fresh air. The footage we've seen from Black Panther has similar heat behind it. As does Captain Marvel. I love straight white dude superhero movies, and I don't want those to go away, but at the same time, Marvel has such a great stable of characters who don't fit into those boxes, and they’re being wasted.

She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Blade, Wasp, Black Widow, Hellcat, Falcon, Isaiah Bradley, Wiccan, America Chavez, Union Jack…Holy hell, you guys, these are some all-time greats who should be used more.

I'm sure that pushing for this is going to upset some people, but the truth is that it will only lead to better movies. Think about how many awesome stories we got out of straight white dudes! There are easily that many awesome stories about every other group that we aren't getting! Being pro-diversity is being pro-awesome movies. This is straight-up irrefutable. I literally don't get why saying More people should be given the chance to make more varied types of superhero movies is controversial. But apparently it is.

But if there's one single thing we want to see more of in Phase Four, it's this. It's the key to the MCU continuing to be successful as the market changes. Good luck, Marvel, I have faith in you.
