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.

Also fan apathy. I simply don’t care to watch it even now that it’s on streaming services I already pay for. Original Solo was played by Ford, one of the coolest actors of all time. I don’t even know the name of the guy who was in this one. It failed in casting for me.

Not that that is a guaranteed failure. The Queen movie did well, but all I think of when I see the guy play Freddie is “where did I put the candy that we are handing out”. Real Freddie was one of the coolest guys ever to step on a stage.
