I know right aha

@@thejessegrant please do a critique on Velma season 2 trailer.

@@thejessegrant Movie attendance peaked in 1933. After WW2, 3-channel free TV came along. But according to TV Guide, the most popular TV episodes aired in the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Before cable-TV. Cable-TV kept TV alive with customer monthly bills paying for all the crap they never watched. Movies and TV are in secular decline. Moves and TV shows will never be "popular again." Same with horrible "pop music." That was just TV music. Now the entire Billboard Top-200 Singles list accounts for less than 5% of streaming music in the USA. TV and "pop music" were post-WW2 Boomer kid things. That's all over now. The "details" don't matter anymore.

The racism coming from the left is way worse than anything the right is doing these days. Woke people need to wake again I guess. Dream within a dream situation.😂

‘Its the marvel way’

Shogun is a perfect example!

Nobody ever asked for diversity in movies and nobody hated either. We just want good movies no matter how homogeneous the cast is

Please never discount the mindset of the American audience. We expect that from India, in America some expect diversity

Right. Bollywood has nothing but movies with homogenous casts.

it's BEEN that way for a Million years. ....just lately---- all the young'un's _THINK_ they have an "original idea" in the form of *"Get RID of old white men"* and subjugate the YOUNG white men (emasculation) .... but instead. They are just exporting a SPECIAL Brand of (race specific) _Hatred_ and calling it "justice" ------ they've been given the green light to just _Bully_ all the white men, *So they're doing it*

Diversity kills everything, diversity, even the not forced one is a great detriment to humanity itself as those who want diversity want everybody to change for them not for them to adapt to the environment they brought themselves in.

It’s driving people who just want to have a good time before going to work insane. Trust me, the average American is getting pissed off in the same way people trying to drive to work in the evening but protesters are blocking the road.

No business besides entertainment would say publicly, "We're upsetting the right people."

@@teastrainer3604yeah when I saw that, I immediately recognized the double standard. Anybody pushing DEI in the past should never be in the spotlight again

Culture war is killing culture. Works as designed.

It was very "in your face" or "we are not wanted at the theatre" or "I hope this passes the right people off". For that reason, I will never support "Diversuty" if advertised as such.

Right?!❤❤❤

The worst is having a show in 16th century England with diversity. Even in the 1970s the country was as white as snow. Super cringe.

"diversity" very quickly leads into political propaganda, and it seems that every media form is littered with political activists as a result, instead of people who are actually qualified to work on these projects. the film and games industries are the largest of the mediums, and are quite arguably, affected the most.

But imho thats the point Jesse is making: the problem is puting diversity in first place, and thus hiring unqualified writers, directors, and showrunners who only have the right "politics". But a diverse cast or even diverse/feminist ideas can be in good movies , just as right wing ideas. IF one looks closely at House of the Dragon, The Boys, The Silo one can see diverse cast or even some ideas that could broadly called " leftist". But they are all first rate TV series. ITs just you must have a good story , care about it, thats all that matters. Not starting with political ideas that you want in your movie and your m"diverse" cast first , and then add some pulp story as aftertought. It sounds neboulous when i write it, but I can feel it easily when I watch a movie.

Kakistocracy is what "diversity" is based on.

The problem is that they always want forced diversity, not naturally occurring diversity, as in diverse ideas, personality traits, character backgrounds, life experiences, etc., it's all about race and gender now. True diversity (which doesn't exclude the types of diversity mentioned above) is okay, and there are places where many cultures mix together and it's okay to have a movie accurately represent them, the problem comes when you try to force diversity in medieval Europe or in a movie based around a European folklore or mythology, they can't seem to accept the fact that some places only have white people in them.

Ahahaha

​@@thejessegrantNothing can save Disney and Hollywood right now. It's a case of too little, too late.

I won’t watch anything she is in ….same for Phoebe Waller Bridges.

@@brianmurphy250 And Jada Pinkett-Sith, REEEchel Zeghler, BREEE Larson, KatREEE Suckhoff, Whaman King actress, Assra Miller, Amber Turd...the list keeps getting longer and longer.

​@markmunroe-hz8rf they won't change till daddy Blackrock tells them they can. Which they won't. Blackrock is trying to force thought.

Yeah but it isn’t because of diversity it’s really because it resulted in these studios being lazy and making absolute terrible movies

@@thejessegrantbut forced diversity in writing rooms is causing severe problems when it comes to the finished product. We need talent to come first, not ideology, gender or anything else.

Diversity may be a synonymous, but that was done by bad faith people who used as a shield of criticism instead of working in a natural way. Like Jesse said, Diversity on itself is not a problem, the handling of is, the problem now is that bridges were burned and now it may take some time to actually rebuild that faith people have on Diversity not be the equivalent of box office poison and companies not go trigger happy calling people -ists and -phobes if a movie doesn't hit profits.

@@thejessegrant Yes but again, I have had enough with diversity. I want a story set in a determined place and I expect that people in said place act and appear in a certain way. You said it yourself, Black Panther was a great movie, but I wouldn't call it "diverse". It covered elements from all the African continent, so it's great that almost all character looked Africans, it helped with immersion. So again, unless a story is set in a place where lots of diverse people meet I don't want diverse people.

@@kef7109 BP was a garbage, ra*ist (accidentally to both races :D) movie. I agree with the rest of your comment.

Ahahaha

​@@thejessegrant I'll give you credit for giving these studios, particularly Marvel & Disney, a lot more goodwill than they deserve IMO. But nobody can say you didn't take the high road at this point.😌

Here’s the thing girls bosses work, if they focus on the plot, everyone loves terminator 1, predator, and the game Metroid, where all the main actors/character are women

Sara Conner wasn’t a “girl boss” in the first terminator. She was written like a normal person. That’s why movies used to be good.

@@jacobbowman2964 Yes because there was a journey to get there, not a Mary-Sue that everyone loves and is good at everything.

Which is more damaging. The writers or directors need to like the source material, or it's all over.

*cough cough* Acolyte *cough cough*

Oh really I didn’t follow her social media. What happened?

Yeah the things she said are definitely worse for her career than the show itself.

@@thejessegrant She basically insulted everyone who said She-Hulk was bad, with the already stereotypical "white men are shit" kind of retorts

What'd she say

Maybe but we’ll have to see

i mostly just watch other films now which isnt marvel or dcu like there is reasons films like top gun did great compared to hero flick also.

Well you xan only loose so much money till investors start to freak out & that EGS money is drying up & investors are starting to become pissed just look at Disney there's basically a civil war going on & they begged the investors to save them to stop the hostile take overs & investors & the investors rejected them. Plus the customers are finally reaching a point where their done with this crap shows across the board in Hollywood are being shut down in massive percentages & Disney is failing across the board at every level & has been loosing hundreds of millions with almost everything they launch & they just list around 18billion from streaming services while the company's that are just making good content are doing better than ever.

I think we're not to this point yet, at least for Disney, they just cancelled the most likely to fail to save money but the direction remain the same. I learned that Iger wants to get into politics after Disney, so it's obvious that unless the board of directors suddenly start to oppose him, he will continue to virtue signaling to appeal to the """modern audience""".

I won't believe it until I see it... and then, not until I've seen it long enough to be able to perceive a pattern.

So many sided with the people signing their checks and went in on the customers as well. They deserve all the difficulties that come from that in an industry that relies on revenues from customers.

Ahahahaha

😂😂 I think they like him, even though they won't say

Dr Strange 2 should have been a horror movie. They scrapped that idea which is a shame. Imagine Dr Strange vs demon armies? I want to see him battle more supernatural threats rather than aliens and regular super villains.

In the Ultimates comics, the Avengers never took Pete seriously, even having Cap sees him as an annoyance, eventually having Pete killed and was not supported by the older heroes.

the CEO is already stepping down

I'm no longer cautious. If they race or gender swap a character, I won't watch. I cancelled disney+ and I'm about to cancel Netflix. I should have a long time ago, just finishing The Last Kingdom which is a decent show.

@@juliusspartacus5437 Sadly I have to agree.......SOME....."diversity" products were not bad ( I liked Sense8, for example, and it is as "diverse" as something can get) but we have been served so much garbage lately that avoiding anything remotely conected to "diversity"-policies has become a mecanism of survival.

D+I just means anti-white.

Give me an example of this woke pieces of crap you speak of. What to you made them "woke"?

@@dsexton72 Captain Marvel. Eternals.

@@dsexton72 In the future, all female X-men, all female Avengers.

@@dsexton72 You should know we can't even properly explain to you. YT is hiding and deleting comments non-stop. But you probably don't even know that.

Same with Dr. Strange in Multiverse of Madness.

Yeah their losses since 2020 are crazy!

Agreed

West Coast Avengers! It's pretty much not going to happen now, not with She-hulk being so bad. Honestly, the writers and DEI people will just ruin it. I'd rather they not.

Yeah time will tell. Hopefully Deadpool is good

@@thejessegrant exactly

​@@ParkerCS2 If that Movie has James Marsden in it, You're Doing the Right thing by Skipping.

@@Suarez05 lol

It's even more than that. They need a house cleaning.

It’s going to take a lot more than just Fiege.

And bring back ron word on the grapevine is that he was against the wokeness.

It was. Snipes ftw! I don't think they could have created anything close to it, especially not with the new actor.

Hollywood is likely also involved in the kiddy porn on the side imo. Rich elites own the cops so they never get caught. It's a corrupt world. Notice when Sound of Freedom came out you didn't see any hollywood actors getting behind the social justice movement to raise awareness for this hidden underground business exposing who are all the clients for the sex slaves?Because they are likely the ones involved in it when they sell out to the illuminati. They are trapped into going along with it in exchange for fame and fortune. You don't ever get to a position of power unless they have some dirt on you that lets them control you with blackmail footage for the rest of your life. Rappers and hip hop artists have tried to expose it for long time but normies don't want to hear about this. They just can't handle it.

so brave

not you but for many others it was and that's ok. It did its job, hit the target and made bank. That isn't happening these days at Marvel. Wakanda Forever went away from what worked the first time and made feminism the focus. Masculinity was lacking in that film. Disney isn't for black men either, despite what many believe. Most of the LGBT representation in these movies are black people. That's not Disney respecting black people at all. It's pandering.

It was barely OK with lots of dumb moments. The only reason it did well was because we trusted Disney at that point.

@@Desalater2 the youtuber calling it great was far braver

i thought the first one was great. The second one was less good but it was fine.

It’s not an inherent good. In fact, in society it has to be overcome if you want a high trust society

Yet, Sam has been Captain America in the comics before. And what about Isaiah Bradley?

This.

No I’d like to hope my channel shows I think for myself, and we’re all entitled to an opinion of course and in my opinion black Panther 1 was a great film that I thoroughly enjoyed. I’m yet to dislike any Ryan coogler movie

Black Panther was a great movie to most. If you thought it was mid, then that's your opinion. But accusing the media of gaslighting while you yourself is gaslighting is a bit hypocritical. Just leave it at you didn't like it and stop telling people they were brainwashed. Judging from these comments, all of us are to some degree. :)

@@dsexton72 No, most did not think it “great.” The FX were next to poor and the story was weak though pushed hard by the media. Great movies hold up. That movie doesn’t

@@CollaredConsulting Respectfully, that is your opinion just like I have one. In my "world", most did think it was great. I didn't understand all the hoopla at first but I did understand it from black folks whom felt that finally there was a black superhero on screen that represented them. Kinda like how all of you feel that things are too "woke" and there is a scheme against white men or white people in general with all this talk of diversity and inclusion as you feel white people are getting less represented? So how that works? But I digress. In the context of a Marvel film, it was great. Maybe not the best one but definitely better than mid. However, I may be a bit bias. There haven't been a black-led superhero movie taken seriously since Blade. Meteor Man does not count...lol. Personally, I think a lot of you have a hard time understanding how it feels to feel marganilized...not seen, taken seriously, taken as a human being or simply being felt to matter. Or maybe you do, because why else would there be such hatred to diversity and inclusion in projects that represent most, if not all of, American society and not just one particular group.

Shang Chi is an Asian character in the comics, so what was bad for you?

This is probably accurate.

Woke X-men, with all women, no men. And they made Wolverine gay in X-men 97.

@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow Do we know Wolverine is gay? Morph might be but Wolverine? I don't think so.

@@dsexton72 In 97, they showered together. They were implying. In interviews with writers, they also implied.

@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow I remember Morph walking into open showers like in a gym, seeing Wolverine and making a comment but that's doesn't say much about Wolvie's sexual orientation. They seem to be really good friends but I think there is a lot of assumption here. Now granted, the man is over 100 years old. It is entirely possible he could've explored at some point in his life. And honestly, the way Sabretooth lashes out at him to hurt him, there's some question there, but I would still like some proof. If he is bi-sexual to a point, because we know he loves women, okay...that may be something to explore. But I would like to know for sure instead of assuming and going off of implications. Just a thought.

@@dsexton72 The showrunners were in an interview telling us what they were implying. You are OK with it, let's just say we don't agree?

Very true

I can agree with this but to a point. Historical accuracy does count for something.

That’s 100% true
