Beyond Stan Lee: Big decisions for Marvel superhero stories and films in the future
Stan Lee was no longer involved in the day-to-day decision-making at Marvel, but when he died this week it marked the final chapter in the story of a comic book visionary. Lee was one of the creators of Black Panther in the 1960s, and superhero diversity will be a big theme for Marvel Studios in the future. Stan Lee was more humble than the public might believe, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, but he did encourage Marvel executives to follow his lead.

Back in March, I shared my misgivings about Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and suggested it was in trouble. At the time, FB stock was selling at about $176 per share. Then came the reckoning in FB: a disappointing earnings report and negative headlines that have sent FB stock down by one-third, to roughly $143 per share.

American Girl and GameStop make gains after Toys 'R' Us closures
Specialty retailers have made foot traffic gains now that Toys 'R' Us stores have shuttered, with Mattel Inc.'s American Girl brand drawing the most new shoppers, according to data provided by inMarket, a digital advertising company that uses real-time consumer data. Also on the list are Sears Holding Corp.'s Kmart, Lego and The Disney Store . However, inMarket says "the small bump in traffic is unlikely to change the overall outlook of doom and gloom at the struggling [Kmart] chain." Walmart and Target are making a big push in toys this holiday season, but they shared crossover traffic with Toys 'R' Us, so these shoppers weren't new visitors. "For these chains, the challenge is less about attracting the displaced shoppers, and more about ensuring they spend those former Toys 'R' Us dollars in their stores," according to inMarket. But among those crossover retailers GameStop Corp. topped Walmart and Target. "GameStop will likely see a spike in sales from former Toys 'R' Us shoppers who have one less place to buy their video games and accessories," inMarket wrote.

[$$] Another spoonful of nostalgia? No thanks
Pragmatic from the pram, I preferred Julie Andrews in her drab Sound of Music serge, careering about Salzburg with the little Von Trapps. It was only after I’d seen Mary reincarnated in the trailer for Mary Poppins Returns, starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda, that I became lachrymose with sentimental indignation that one of the great heroines of 20th-century cinema might have been appropriated from the Hollywood vaults and forced to work once more. The new Poppins movie arrives in cinemas this Christmas, and the hype is building.

Major League Baseball signs seven-year extension with Fox worth $5.1B
Major League Baseball has signed a seven-year media rights renewal with Fox Sports that sources say is worth $5.1 billion, or $728.6 million per year. The deal formally was announced at the MLB owners meetings in Atlanta today. The deal, which keeps MLB tied to Fox and FS1 through 2028, looks much like Fox’s current deal, in part, because that was all MLB could sell as its other media packages are not up.
