Central Bedfordshire is made up of villages and small towns, and the populations of these places are skewing disproportionately older compared to larger, more urban areas ... If residents are pouring a growing portion their pay into a black hole and seeing only decay and decline and shittier services in return, how on Earth can you expect them to be happy with that? How do you justify it to voters? And where is the plan to change it?...The development was highly controversial because it involved building something in Southern England that people could live...
This is very much not the point of this excellent post, but I think The Avengers was done for by the terrible nineties Thurman/Fienes movie. I would LOVE for someone to bring it back, but the property was mauled so badly I doubt anyone sees it as viable (though a revived James Bond might send producers looking for more sixties IP to revamp I suppose, so maybe there's still hope).

Tbh the whole post was an excuse to ask for an Avengers reboot, the rest is incidental. But yeah, that film was a disaster 😢.
