So at this point we’ve given up all hope of popular entertainment that caters to conservatives - we’re down to just hoping for left-wing oriented entertainment that isn’t so boring.
When their terrible story telling was agenda driven politically and pushing disgusting lifestyles as normal, it sure as hell was political.
Sone would call that GASLIGHTING. I sure do.
Writers that can’t writ ,directors that can’t direct , they’re also told to not read the comics to find out what’s going on then they attack the ticket buying customers ,LOL What a disaster
The real problem for America is Disney’s politics, not the availablity of entertaining stories.
Dakota Johnson’s acting hasn’t improved. She’s simply walking cardboard in Madam Web.
And the story stinks. The dialogue and delivery are cringe worthy.
The two are intertwined.
“Put a chick in it and make her gay!”
If the Disney corporation were a human being, it would be a black Megan Rapinoe.
It’s crappy movies and crappy politics. Remaking every success with new diverse actors, and directors who can’t make you care about the characters hurt among the apolitical. Telling parts of your audience they are bigots, homophobes, transphobes is no way to bring them back. Do both together and we see what’s happening to Disney.
Now, add in when young parents feeling that way. Disney won’t get the business of their kids in the future either. Amongst my slightly political Gen Y and Z acquaintances, none are planning Disney World trips, or Disney movies. They don’t have Disney plus among their streaming services. One won’t even allow any Disney toys to be given. Admittedly, the young ones I know are conservative Christians who take their faith seriously.
The people I see most tolerant of Disney right now are the over 50 apolitical crowd, who have fond memories of Disney.
No.
Putting politics into any film means you have abandoned any attemtp to simply tell a story. Also, women cannot tell compelling stories. Mebbe one out of a million can, the rest are affirmative action hires.
Disney decided two things a while back: to bludgeon everyone with their ideology and to normalize pedo.
There is no shortage of people on soapboxes pushing their agendas. Music and movies have been a way to escape daily pressures and drama.
Just shut up ‘n play yer guitar.
The entertainment business is very much like the bakery business.
If you make what people want to buy then you do well.
But if, for instance, a bakery starts making mustard filled doughnuts and no one buys them is it the fault of the public or the bakery?
Ditto with Disney.
They produce a product that few people want to buy. They’ve been riding on their reputation but that reputation is wearing thin.
Politics influences the stories.
Sexual weirdos don’t have the same heroes and villains the rest of us have, so their ‘stories’ are creepy.
Disney can’t get past that because Disney’s choice of hired writers write for each other NOT for the general population.
And because sexual weirdos are around 3 to 4% of the population it doesn’t ‘matter if ALL of them watch the movies those movies will fail.
There’s a similar story with the way Madison Ave Ad Agencies advertise to the weirdo community and often use their ads to push ideas that damage the company paying for the ad. Bud LIght is an example. But there are many ‘once loved’ companies that now are folks we tolerate because we need the products they sell. In fact if you’re young you probably can’t even understand the concept of a ‘much loved company’... They don’t exist anymore. Same with newspapers. Communities used to be proud of them.
IF they can tell good stories with only a mild sprinkling of leftism...which Hollywood has been doing for decades...they would do okay.
They ignore the fact that when they tell good stories with traditional values, they inevitably have a smash hit. Peter Jackson did NOT want to follow Tolkien closely in his Lord of the Rings trilogy, but felt it was the best way to go commercially - and it was.
Spengler and Donner had to fight to make Superman “all American” in 1978! “Truth, justice and the American way” were almost cut from the script as too hokey.
The left is now too ingrained in Disney. I fear the Mouse is past the point of no return. You would have to fire over 80% of the current employees to purge the woke.
They don't.
Name for me a good new franchise they've developed. You can't. They're just living off of the past.....of past people's talent and creativity. Their idea of being "creative" is: "I know!" Let's take a story that's been told before and replace a normal White male character with a disabled, transgender, vegetarian, communist of color! That will be so fresh!"
Then they get mad when nobody wants to watch that crap and it flops.
Let's make an all-female WWII movie!
"Regressive gender stereotypes" comes from civilization's tendency to put men in harm's way, going back to Beowulf and the Greek, Roman, and Norse mythologies.

A prominent YooToober made this point last night: these movies aren't being made for any audience except the clique behind the writing and directing; that the old Steely Dan line "Show biz kids making movies of themselves, you know they don't give a **** about anybody else" has become written in stone in Hollywood. When they say "We're reimagining this for a modern audience" they mean only themselves. Narcissism in Hollywood, who'd have ever suspected?
So if I decline from association with, or any indulgence of fags, trannys, and pedos then I’m a bigot? Then long live bigotry. All the letter people need to go hide and keep to themselves, or get therapy. Just stop insisting you are normal.
Liberals tell lousy stories because they live a negative, bitter existence.
Disney execs, and shareholders, should ask “What would Walt do?”
Here’s a hint. If Walt were around today, he would be best buds with DeSantis.
