A woke Marvel producer explains exactly why the MCU has been failing with Kevin Feigeâs approach to Phase 4 and beyond.
Producer Nate Moore who was responsible for ruining the Eternals movie with his brilliant idea to gender-bend and race-bend the cast reveals he wonât hire writers that are fans of Marvel Comics â you know â the source material.
âOne thing I think is interesting, and specifically for writers, I would say, a lot of times, weâre pitched writers who love Marvel,â Moore explained to the Matthew Billoni podcast. âAnd to me, thatâs always a red flag. Because I go, âOh, I donât want you to already have a pre-existing idea of what it is, because you grew up with Issue 15 and thatâs what you want to recreate.’â
So Nate Moore doesnât want the Marvel writers to have any pre-existing ideas about the characters that come from the Marvel Comics which the entire MCU is based on?
Wow. That explains a lot and explains why Marvel insiders filled me in that Stan Lee was particularly upset about replacing Mar-Vell in the Captain Marvel movie where decades worth of comic book stories were wiped away all for the sake of diversity, which Kevin Feige continues to do.
âI want somebody whoâs hard on the material, who goes, âWhat is this? I think thereâs a movie here, but maybe we should be looking at it in this way,’â added Moore.

What way should things be looked at? The woke way?
In this way? What way? In the same way the other woke Marvel producer who thinks the X-Men are outdated simply because the word contains âmen?â
Oddly, Moore continues with mention of the writers on Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame to sell his nonsense, where he says they werenât fans of the comics growing up, but Iâll say the difference with Markus and McFeely is they didnât destroy the source material (I donât blame them for Goofy Hulk and Fat Thor), they were inspired by it and adapted it.
âThe best example of that for me was Markus and McFeely, who werenât comic guys coming up, but were like, âWait, Captain America, this seems a bit weird. What if we kinda looked at it in this way?’â said Moore. âAnd they werenât married to anything, nothing was, you know, there was nothing sacrosanct.â

Comics should be adapted not destroyed
Moore continues by mentioning adapting the Marvel Comics shouldnât be a direct adaptation, which is true, but in the case of Moore and the woke approach to Phase 4 and beyond, again, what they are doing is intentionally going out of their way to replace characters and change everything about them (i.e Namor) which has resulted in poor quality content because itâs all about selling an agenda instead of creating something good.
âI think thatâs important to be able to go, âLook, the source material is great, and I love it, and comics work in the medium they were built in, but thatâs not a direct, one-to-one translation to the best version of the movie,’â Moore explained. âAnd sometimes it takes someone whoâs out of this culture to go, âHey, I know you think it should be this, but maybe it should be this other thing.’â
Whatâs too bad is that Ike Perlmutter and his Marvel Comics Creative are no longer involved (did I really say that?) as when they were involved the MCU was a lot closer to the comics and Perlmutter seems to have kept these Hollywood âcreativeâ types at bay (I could care less about the behind-the-scenes drama, at least the MCU was pretty great back then. #RIPMCU).
Worth a mention is that Nate Moore, Kevin Feige, and their approach to Phase 4 is considered a huge bust.
