To Disney's credit they just ran with it after Brie Larson lost control of the narrative, they've been itching for a fight ever since TLJ in the mistaken belief that one perceived victory would bring things back to the way they were. But as I said before, this is no way to run a business, a franchise like the MCU must be built on something positive not endless recriminations and public shaming. With Endgame we will see a jumping off point for the general audience and with it a potential catalyst for Disney's self-destructive marketing.
Where's the evidence for these statements? Disney's movies and especially Marvel Studio's pictures are doing great. Brie Larson's publicity worked wonders for the movie, judging by box office. Only #comicsgate whiners are complaining and no one needs their money or support. They can go find some other hobby to complain about.
