Getting sick from all those woke, anti-white, transgenders, political correctness bullshit these days.

Jezus.. Disney really wants to go bankrupt even after $900 million mega flops.

What's next; Mel Gibson playing Martin Luther King, Morgan Freeman as Nicola Tesla.

It's pretty disturbing agenda driven drivel.
Disney have become pretty evil and rightfully losing a lot of money due to stupid decisions instead of entertaining and staying humble and respectful to its audiences.

In the 90s they were awesome making the best animation movies and crazy big sexy action movies like The Rock and Armageddon.

Mega brands such as Star Wars have now become completely toxic and no longer special or fun.

They probably should have cast Tom Cruise for the sequel trilogy movies to breathe some fresh life into it and never done a single TV show either.
The practical Tom Cruise stunts stuff could have gone hand in hand with Star Wars I think.
The stupid thing is I didn't mind Rey or Finn at all. Interesting start with young characters but what they did with them and how Rey was straight away perfect and the old heroes got killed off one by one is just dumbassery.

The streaming subscriber only model just doesn't work for such a big brands either I think. It completely dilutes things.

But a bigger problem indeed is the injection of politics in everything they do.
What a waste.

Do normal market forces not play a part in economics anymore? Surely the more crap that comes out like this the more people are turned away from it and the less profits they make.
Even with the ESG kickbacks there has to be a point of no return.
It feels to me that society as a whole is beginning to push back against the woke culture more now than ever and that pushback is only growing stronger.
Perhaps I am being too optimistic?

Yes I think there is big pushback now.
People can tell straight away from trailers how heroes are portrayed which I think is why Indiana Jones 5 has done so incredibly badly and rightly so.

Whether Disney changes anything soon remains to be seen. I don't think it helps having old hacks who were in charge of this exact toxic political story telling in top positions. Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy should go. But they will remain there for years I bet.

In the mean time the writers' and actors' strikes could bring further pain to cinema chains.
I hope the ones I go to survive.
