Does the seeming cleaning up of Marvel signal something about Disney?

Their new editor clearly makes an effort to do away with the hyperpolitical idiocy. Will this spread to other parts of Disney ? Who put him there ?

Hwen is trying to get us to do his media studies homework for him again...

Marvel has cancelled a handful of low-selling social justice-y books and is returning to a 'Legacy' format focusing on their established heroes, but the comic market doesn't mean anything to Disney as a whole, so no I don't think it signals anything about the parent company.

DC happens to be putting out solid books and is creeping on on Marvel's market dominance, plus with the rise of independent creator-owned books at Image and Dark Horse, Marvel is being forced to get back to focusing on what sells, which is good news to me because I'm not reading much of what Marvel is putting out as of late.

Although the new Punisher Platoon series has been legit

Look at the changes at ESPN. Disney let these places go SJW wild and when the inevitable backlash came Mickey Mouse has to choke a bitch.

Hwen if you buckled down and paid a little more attention during school instead of furious jacking off to bollywood erotica, you would probably have a nice comfortable job working at geek squad. I guess in Korea its probably called Gook Squad but I digress. Your math scores are abysmal, and your reading comprehension is quite lousy. This new year your parents and I are going to get you a tutor and see if we can turn those grades around for you. Hwen, you are spending a bit too much time watching these American culture war youtube battles, and not enough time visiting the shrine of your ancestors. You have unleashed jeoju on your family, and the entire village, and it will take many acts of piety and studiousness to lift the wrath of the ancient spirits that will follow you around.
