I came to the realization years ago when Hasbro announced their plans to release "more Legends in one year than ever before" that there was an inevitable downside to the proclamation. Most people should be aware of the truth to the notion that too much of a good thing is indeed a bad thing. What seemed like largesse on the part of Hasbro was destined to sour (imo) and I asked whether collectors really believed the toy maker would increase their expenditures on manufacturing to a commensurate degree to match their output. Nah, that was never going to happen. Like any other corporation, they were going to pump out more product while spending roughly the same amount of dough resulting in a steady decline in wares. That's businesses - only the uninitiated stumble when trying to grasp this reality. I admonished that quality trumped quantity, but most disagreed, which is fine in the big scheme.

Do I think Hasbro with ultimately fail? Of course they will. Everyone does eventually - life holds so many lessons and most of them bite. Do I care if Hasbro fails? Hell no. Toy Biz came before and some muthafucker will come after. At the end of the day I'm a fan of action figures, not Hasbro. Same with these MCU movies - I'm not a fan of Feige, I'm not even a fan of current Marvel, I'm a fan of this particular pantheon of heroes and the comics I read as a kid. Fuck all the other noise.

I'd apologize for my language, but it's 2 in the morning, I'm drunk, and I'm riding a long train home from the city after spending time with friends at places I didn't want to go to...so zero fucks are given right now...I'll regret it tomorrow...probably not.
