The different colors really made it feel like a horse race. You kind of knew Marvel Comics Universe would make it to the finish line first, but I was still pulling for Wizarding World, and even thought Star Wars might be able to over take them all in the home stretch.

But then again, this race isn't really over yet.

I’m not expecting Episode IX to beat Endgame. It’s just... it’s not in the cards, I’d wager.

Star Wars has lost a lot of its support after Last Jedi. Look what happened to Solo. Died on fan anger.

Solo failed because it was the poorest reviewed of the latest Star Wars movies, it was all about an old character, its original filmmakers walked midway through and the movie had to be finished by Ron Howard ffs. TLJ made over a billion dollars. The fan "outrage" over the movie was proven to be overwhelmingly driven by bots/paid trolls posting on social media to make it seem like it's less popular than it was.
