Wishful thinking. It dropped 68% from an incredible opening.
Now I’ve disliked Disney ever since my mother bought me a copy of the ORIGINAL Grimm’s tales, and have utter contempt for them taking old stories and trying to claim intellectual property rights on them, and never liked kiddie stuff even when I was very young, but silly wishful thinking is not worthy of conservatives. Disney is huge, constantly adapting, and will be around long after Biden or DeSantis are napping in the dirt.

Writers bitch about sexism then write in the characters to look like hos.

Part of this is its dedication to “the message” which includes consistent references and propagandistic advertising...

"The issue is Never the issue. The Revolution is Always the issue".

Disney is the worst.

But, the WOKE messages are in the vast, vast majority of recent movies, television, advertisements, and social media.

Unfortunately, it’s working to a large degree.

IMHO Walt Disney himself would have disbanded his company if it had devolved into this neo pagan hedonistic abomination.

The marvel universe has become a black hole

Sears

Montgomery Ward

American Motors

The original competitor of UPS. It's been so long that I forgot their name.

Very few companies last forever. The reason many film company names still exist is that the company was bought up and the buyer thought it was a good idea to keep the old name as part of the new name.

Will there be a Disney Corp in the 22nd century? Good question. Let's share notes in 79 years and see how it turns out.

A gynosociety like the USA encourages wokeness for wimmin.

More guys are waking up though.

So Thor is a woman? Is that what this is about? I thought maybe in Disney's 2021 version Thor (a man) was in love with Loki (also a man) or something like that. No?

Genuine Norse mythology--or probably any mythology--is bad enough without distorting it into some stupid woke pretzel. For example, Siegfried is in love with his aunt (Brünhilde), and Siegfried's parents (Siegmund and Sieglinde) were not only brother and sister but twins. And let's not get started on the Greeks!

Probably the most disgusting and annoying thing about the woke revisionism is that it is so banal, shallow, trendy, and groupthink.

This article just reminded me why I have contempt for the MCU (or marvel cinematic universe).

DHL was the UPS competitor if I recall correctly.

It's working on the weak minded who were already inclined to be zombied.

It doesn't work very well on those don't watch television, who don't frequent movies often, and who don't participate in social media.

Fortunately, young people are mostly not stupid enough to fall for their BS, and many have parents who patiently have explained the facts to their young ones and they understand the propaganda being fed to them is not reality.

There are still more than enough Americans left who haven't been indoctrinated to turn around this nonsense. We'll see what happens.

Seeing the inundation of commercials for this movie, makes me not want to pay money to see it, or even waste the time to watch it if it were free on tv. Why? It’s portrayed as childishly silly.

“Marvel spent $250 million dollars on the production of the film alone.”

This doesn’t include marketing costs. Plus, the theater keeps half the ticket price. Traditionally, before income from streaming services became a thing, a movie had to earn twice it’s production and marketing costs to break even.

The woke insanity has been accelerating—and many average folks are still in denial.

They will figure it out eventually—and then Disney will pay the price.

Wokeism is a slow-acting poison pill—but it will prove fatal.
