UNFORTUNATELY WOKE HOLLYWOOD DISNEY'S,

They indeed managed to mercilessly massacre all their major franchises. No small feat.

Just put far leftists and intersectional feminists in charge and this is what you get.

I don’t think an intentional terrorist could’ve destroyed Disney more effectively than…Disney!

I feel like this was the plan....jealous of star wars? Buy it, ruin it, and sell decent amounts of merch to profit for a while anyways

This is like Shadow of the Colossus, but you are unambiguously the antagonist and slaying gentle giants.

they are simply changing the course of original stories, reflecting what they think people should accept as normal.

No, they're giving people what they want. Millenials and younger are a bunch of idiot feminist extremists that think inclusivity is more important than the story itself. People are getting what they asked for, they're just too stupid to realize it was going to be a pile of shit.

Well yeah but not really, they want to educated the most braindead middle ground person, they are pandering to lowest common denomitor and they just don't respect their audience.

The problem is why would they give us what we want? They dominate the entire market and have no legitimate competition. So they don't concern themselves with what their audiance wants to see. The things they are concerned about is what will get them on the news and what things are the easiest to make merchandise of.

@@MrMarinus18 No, they've given people what they want, it's just that that doesn't happen to be what longtime fans of the series wanted. Blizzard did the same thing with their games, they became too simple and filled with grinding, cosmetics have become more important than the gameplay because that's what people care about these days.

I would argue that Disney is doing many things new, particularly in their casting. No other studio has cast women and minorities into more leading roles than what Disney has. It’s not even close. KZfaq is extremely conservative so it’s a poor way to measure what people are watching. Disney plus went from 70 million subscribers to 160 million in two years. Its only “declined” by 10 million in the last year. Park revenues are up. Everything you see “failing” is only slightly dipping. They took a huge risk with avatar land and galaxy’s edge is still busy as ever. I don’t think for one second that Disney is infallible or even that great. But I do like seeing movies with people who look like me in it for once. When I was growing up, no one in the movies looked like me.

@@ddespair I see. I’m sure what youtube is recommending me is sort of an echo chamber of “disney bad,” so i’m seeing askew information on how their franchise and parks are doing. my commenting in the nothing new part was more focusing on their habits of doing remakes for so long. Encanto was sort of a fresh gem that came out of disney but for the most part I’m seeing a lot of recycled material or double dipping in an established franchise. And I think a reason encanto and Moana did so well is that they really had a story to tell with an audience in mind, like Miyazaki making a movie for his son, and it showed beautifully. I haven’t seen Wish or Rava so I can’t speak on them And I can also see that disney is ridiculously big and Studio Ghibli is pretty small in comparison, so the quality and quantity of material is different. I was sort of poking fun at disney because I am biased towards miyazaki. And I am glad to see more women and minorities in roles. I really just want to see people being people in all shapes and forms and that be the norm (A reason I really liked Atlantis- every character had a motivation and felt real). But sometimes I see a movie or show and it’s as if they forced a script on a character/setting and it breaks the flow. I hope that makes sense.

​@@ddespairthat's literally nothing new It's been the norm for the past few years and has been doing more damage than good coz imagine that, casting someone just coz of what's between their legs and the colour of their skin and nothing beyond that would yield terrible results

Actually, they had lost the ability to tell good stories which is why they bought all the IP's thinking that would solve their problem.

Ah... Nothing Lasts Forever! Not sure what else to say on that front! Just ask the Romans maybe!? 🤷‍♂️

And they could just be pissing off no one but the must extremist radicals by just making movies and not discriminating in any direction. It’s not that hard. You don’t need to force things in boxes if you’re not racist.

Trying to woo the CCP and China, who dislike American culture and the liberal ideals of Hollywood, is pretty stupid. Also trying to woo the "woke" crowd who hate megacorps like Disney and will turn on you when they realize they're being pandered to, is also stupid. Trying to woo either of those 2 groups will alienate the other, and there's many who hate both of those 2. Trying to pander can work when you Occupy a niche but NOT for a global company with a widespread and varied fanbase. Ruining franchises people love will also turn the fans against you.

Yep, pretty much. They use "nostalgia" effect by initially taking an IP everyone knows but then disney change it into something completely unrecognisable and not even slightly entertaining. Let them continue... they do have trillions but they can only lose so much til they realise its not viable.

they recycle the IP and diversify it and making it worse in the process

And she wasn't a Mary Sue. Like sure, she was capable but she was also flawed. She was impatient, stubborn, and impulsive. She needed a mentor to hone her instincts. At the end of the movie it was her feminine empathy and insight that saved the day. She was afraid but courageously rose to the occasion. That is how to write a strong female character. Today's Disney thinks a strong female has to be physically superior. They would have had her punch Te'Kas lights out or something.

Moana is probably one of my favorite movies Disney ever created. I watched it countless times when I was younger and I‘m so scared about what they planned for the live action of it… Like… Chances are high that they turn Maui into some useless prick, while Moana is already the perfect Sailor. Oh and let’s not forget that she will face the villain completely alone, because women don’t need no help from men.

Totally agree. Moans holds up so well.

Princess And The Frog's lead also; she was a hard worker and was literally saving every penny she earned. And yet somehow talking heads in the mainstream insist we have no strong female protagonists, particularly of color... BOI TIANA IS BLACK YA DINK. Sad that was Disney's swansong for 2D animation, but at least it was a beautiful one.

Finally, the problem exposed, y'all. Everytime dictating how a women should empower herself, if at all

I actually personally know the CEO from a company I used to work for and he told me CEO's that aren't company founders are literally figureheads that don't do any actual work besides being the public face of the company. Everything people think a CEO does, like decide the direction of the company, or manage all the different business units, is actually handled by other people. He said when he was CEO of my company he tried to take the company in a certain direction and was ignored and told to follow marching orders from the shareholders and executives.

Most CEOs are either figureheads or money men. If they're not a founder, they're just another well paid employee who can always find another job.

Modern writers write strong women as men. They are strong in the same way men are, using physicality and violence to achieve their goals. This completely ignores the type of strength inherent to women, that of nurture and care. It’s shameful to ignore this really

​@@anon2427i would say the problem is more that they throw toxic masculinity on women. The thing is that praising violence is not good, not in men and not in women, but people noticing it more on women cause they are not used to I guess. There is also nothing wrong to have female leads with "male" qualities. The problem is that we only have that (just like back in the days, the woman seen in a positive light was always the Snow White type, which is why it was criticized). I think people fail to see that the problem is not "this is how you paint women and we don't like it" but "this is the only way you paint women and we don't like it". We need more diversity in ours female characters.. Big companies should stop trying to write role models for women and just write characters. And ironically, that's how we'll finally have role models.

Totally agree. There's a whole laundry list of characters I can think of off the top of my head that fits what you're talking about - a few even in the Star Wars universe itself. Unfortunately Star Trek has been suffering from the same issues was Discovery and a few other shows. Thankfully in that case Strange New Worlds has changed paths.

​@@anon2427fucking caveman. You can probably barely lift the donuts you eat all day in your mom's basement.

They're making people who we hate dealing with IRL.

Yeah, they completely ruined it. They deleted the established and good storyline and replaced it with nonsensical mediocrity. Then they gave us the middle finger when we asked why.

I think the idea back in, whatever, 2017 was: "We are too big to fail, now we start to 'educate' grown people to our liking". Their old IPs also had morals, but the universal ones, not the ones that are in fashion at current times. They are like a supervillain in their Marvel movies, if there's no one of that kind already I would call him (or more fitting: her ;-)) "Brainwash" or so. Don't get me wrong, I call myself feminist and anti-racist. Disney-films are neither...

I think yes and no, speaking as a recovering Disney adult. The Renaissance was truly special, but the company has had these craven tendencies simmering for a century. Walt was a ruthless businessman who was furious that his animators dared strike and was forever hardened. Even before that, copyright exploits with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit led him to be extremely anal about intellectual property. Knowing that, we can see how the same company tried to trademark an entire culture's holiday, The Day of The Dead, for Coco. Walt was absolutely a visionary, and much of the risks he took were downright insane, but the seeds of the company's slimy practices were with him. I think it actually speaks a lot to the magic of the artists behind the Disney Renaissance that they made such incredible work. Risky, costly work I can't see them ever even remotely touching again for the sake of pleasing execs. After I watched "The Sweatbox" about the production circus that was Kingdom of the Sun turned Emperor's New Groove, I think that was the beginning of the end for Renaissance era collaborative storytelling. They lost so much money and time, I think execs started to change how these productions were made. They wanted maximum efficiency pandering to executive whims instead of the arduous, costly creative process it actually takes to make something like The Lion King or Aladdin.

⁠@@ShesquatchPineyThey tried to what?! What made them think they could Trademark Day of the Dead?!

Disney is and always was rotten to the core. Hiring a mafia enforcer to negotiate artists pay during the 1950s and betraying others to McCarthyism blacklists shows everything we need to know about Walt Disney's ugly blackened heart.

It's all for money, it's just a cash grab.

Mayyybeeeee Lasseter shouldn't have been such a GD creep that he needs horny handlers for his latest gig at Apple TV making the movie Luck nobody saw.

​@RhapsodyInBlaah This is the level of understanding the average commenter and youtube critic has of the business. Which is why these videos and internet discourse is worthless.

I don't think so. It falls apart cause : - they had a big plan until the end of Thanos arc, but what they wanted to do after was not as clear. So the connection between the different movies and shows is not consistent. -they want to do too many movies and shows so it is impossible to catch up, which means that not all of them will be successful and so they'll lose money. -they want to do too many movies and shows and too fast, so the quality decreases. They don't have time to think and write the story properly. -movies and shows nowaday seem to just be there to present the new generation of Avengers, with more or less success, and sometimes it gives movies where the new characters struggle to find their place as they are also (and rightfully) give the spotlight to the characters that give the name to the movies and shows at the same time. With all respect I have for Stan Lee, I think the decisive ruining factor is not him.

@@tmac731t challa died cuz Chadwick Boseman died

I get what you’re saying. I really think that the escapism element is a crucial part of media consumption. I just wish… you know… I grew up reading comics and just about every fantasy book I could get my hands on and I’ve always loved the escapism of those stories. But as I’ve grown older I’ve realized that the ones that really has stuck with me were the ones where I could see myself as the protagonist of the story. Let me give you an example: I love the Riftwar Universe. I started reading the Riftwar Saga and continued reading the Serpentwar Saga. And then I found the Empire Trilogy. I was already well invested in the universe itself, I loved it, I wanted to stay there, I’ve read all my books several times. But now, thinking back on it I almost only remember details from the Empire Trilogy. That storyline spoke more to me than the other sagas did, even though I am European and more “culturally aligned” with the rest of the sagas of the Riftwar Universe, and I believe that one of the reasons why is because the protagonist was a girl/woman with additional problems that arose from her position as one. When I read her storyline I was her, I wasn’t just reading about her, I wasn’t just a spectator to a story. I liked the MCU Captain Marvel movie. It’s not a great movie in any way, but I think we can all agree that not all MCU movies are “10/10 best movie ever” - they all vary in quality and sometimes they don’t make any impression at all (looking at you, Thor the Dark World). But I liked it anyways, because I had finally a main-character superhero of my own in the MCU, someone I could relate to. Someone I could dress up as without genderbending or choosing a side-character. I just want my own main-character, and I don’t care if her movie happens to be mid, and I don’t care if the actor is cringe in interviews. I really REALLY don’t care. Because I don’t need exceptional, I just want to be able to relax and watch a movie where I can engulf myself in the dream of “this could be me” for an hour or two and just escape the fucking reality for once. I also want to escape, and I want to not always only be a spectator. Look, I get that it can feel as if politics are taking over, and that there’s too much representation and that it ruins the experience. But I want that experience too. Sure, if I could choose I would want the best, coolest female protagonists possible, all the time, but that’s not realistic. I can live with mediocre. And here’s my main point of this very long rant: I think it’s dumb as hell that big studios get to play the “politics card” all the time and pretend like they “do what they can to cater to everyone” because all they care about is profit. They don’t care about “representation” if it doesn’t end up in profits at the end of the day. What they do, however, is profiting from engagement. If they release a mediocre movie that creates engagement they make more money than if there was less engagement. And it doesn’t matter if the engagement is “good” or “bad”, it doesn’t matter if people are angry or happy. They don’t care about the politics - they only care about the engagement. So please, for the love of god, let me have my mediocre main-character. If you don’t like it - don’t engage. Don’t provide the big studios with their profit and you have a better chance of stopping the next mediocre cringe PC superhero or whatever.

@@solutanbrun To be clear I don't consider representation in and of itself to be a part of the problem I was talking about, in fact you gave a reason why it can be a good thing. My issue is with other things, for a more specific example something that's gotten more common these days is they'll have a (usually young) character suddenly go on a very brief tangent about some current political issue, play it off as a throwaway comedic moment, and move on without saying anything more on it. It often feels out of place in films that aren't really political overall. Basically if you want to make a movie about a political issue, you should do that. But if you're making a movie that's about something else, it probably doesn't need a scene where some character pays 5-10 seconds of lipservice to some current real-world political issue out of nowhere. That sort of thing just reminds the viewer that they're watching a movie, which means it takes them out of the experience. That aside though, if I may add one more thing it's that I think we should ask for more than mediocre in terms of the quality of the representation. It's not wrong to celebrate smaller victories of course, but if we settle for mediocrity things aren't likely to improve anytime soon. If we're not participating in the creation/production of the films our ability to influence these things is more limited, but it's not nothing.

But do we even know what counts as political to each side. A gay character in a movie doesn’t count as political to the left but it’s the end of the world to the right. Half the films considered political nowadays are pretty centrists but people act like a black women playing Ariel is liberal propaganda. I just can’t get behind the “we hate wokeness and politics in media” thing because being “woke” and “political” is as easy as not having a cast filled with straight white men

@@Yeetusdeletus897 It's impossible to please everyone so there's no sense in trying. But my point isn't that filmmakers should go out of their way to avoid politics, it's that there's a difference between for example a film that's explicitly about current women's issues and a film that contains female characters but isn't trying to say anything on that matter because its story is about something else entirely, something fictional. Both have their place, and the latter is generally more suited to scratching that escapism itch since it's not trying to remind the audience of current real-world issues.

You say that there is no point in trying to please everyone, but somehow you also say that what you consider to be neutral ground is what should count as neutral ground. That sounds to me like you want to be pleased before anyone else is pleased. Maybe, just maybe, you should sit down and give an honest thought to how people who are not like you would define neutral, non-political ground. You don’t have to accept it as neutral, and you don’t have to go there, but maybe you could see that what you consider non-political is not non-political to someone else. From my point of view there is no “current political situation” that differs that much from 100+ years ago, and I don’t believe we will have vastly different discussions 100+ years from now. Furthermore, I cannot see a clear cut between something depicting current events, and pure fiction taking place in a galaxy far far away. But then again, I also am unaware of these misplaced tangents that you say are so out of line that they bring you out of the immersion. And they seem to happen often as well. Here’s some food for thought: Maybe it’s you who are the political one. Maybe you read politics into something that is as bland and simple as big studio facade/token representation. Maybe you should chill out a bit with putting politics into everything and just enjoy the ride. I don’t think it’s healthy to be upset with things that you cannot control

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if they didn't openly mock and insult people for not liking movies and shows they make and try to make it out to be about racism, sexism, etc rather than about the shitty quality. She Hulk was kind of crap but Disney called their fans sexist and they did the same with some of the crap live action remakes.

Too bad disney is a lot more picky and controlling in what they can do for projects. Wished they can get out of these restrictions and do things out of the family friendly mold disney wants them to keep.

If they were truly progressive, the dwarves would have been actual dwarves/little people that were abandoned in the forest as babies and raised as a dwarven community that's thriving regardless of being abandoned by the rest of the kingdom. But that's not as easy to virtue signal behind.

Well put.

Have you asked any little people how they feel about this? I reckon they'd probably have quite a different perspective to you on how it feels to be referred to as a dwarf.

@simonchristopher8324 ok, but a dwarf isn't just a short person. A dwarf is also a race of fantasy creatures. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves had a few different kinds of magic and fantastic elements that indicate it is a high fantasy story, therefore, it is very likely that the dwarves of Snow White aren't just "short people" but are actual fantasy dwarves. If you're going to have dwarves in a live action film, you either spend 30% of your budget on CGI or hire short people. And while I'm sure there are plenty of real life short people who would not like to be called "dwarves," I'm almost certain that not all of them would be offended, so even if I did ask one, or multiple, there isn't a guarantee I'd get any negative responses at all.

Why not snow white and 7 cyborgs as AI is trending quite a lot.. switching living to robots "can't" offend anyone?

For that reason I hope the company fails utterly.

Totally agreed. I’m glad someone brought up the live action Cinderella because I thought they did a great job and developed the characters a lot more than the original animated feature. Yeah they skipped over the cute funny talking animals, but having a better prince and understanding of Cinderella and her step mother and sisters was so much better lol. And it kept Cinderella with her core character and attributes: love, kindness, and courage.

Come to think of it, I feel like the live action remake of Cinderella usually gets overlooked and underrated.. I wonder why?

Actually, they started with Alice in wonderland (2010), cinderella came out in 2015

Truth is, we don’t need remakes. The originals were good movies, still widely available to watch in the highest quality. Stop falling for that shite.

@@greyblueme9711what about 101 dalmatians and Jungle Book?

Disney is incapable of utilizing political content with any real, decent writing - both in the past and now.

The best way to mediate escapism and real-world relevance within storytelling is a concept called "escape and recovery". The story provides an opportunity for escape, but within that escape the narrative elements point beyond themselves to real life, allowing the audience-through the imagination-to "recover" something true and meaningful that they may have forgotten. I guarantee you that the best stories you've encountered all had some measure of this interplay.

Its the studio interference that kills the movie and shows. Thats the main reason they hire nobody’s as showrunners and writers. Its so easy to bully them. With established directors and writers its not possible.

The games have good writing because the mouse house isn't interested in them and hence don't get in the writers way. The writers are left alone to tell good stories because the execs and CEO aren't even aware they exist. The moment they realize the games exist, they will interfere and ruin them.

Still hoping for the darth bane Trilogy or Darth plaegous story. I have to give Disney credit for Andor and the bear, fantastic series!

There has been no new ideas in these disney + shows it looks like to me. I saw a clip from ahsoka, a flash back where the clone army is fighting mandalorians in a huge dust cloud, you can't see anything except some clones and mandalorians and its taking place on mandalor i think, which we have seen in the clone wars, it would have been so cool to see it in live action but that would take too much brain power to make.

​@@maartenvzwhy on God's green Earth are you hoping for them to do so when they have at every turn butchered all the EU and OT characters theyve adapted?

I find it depressing since they torched 99% of the universe when they bought star wars. By Aldo mainly focusing on the movies and prequel BS they're not eveh really adding to the star wars universe and just rehashing the same story. Even the Mandalorian barely even touches on the millenia of mandolorian lore from the old expanded universe

I don't know why star warts is popular. Or star trek. I like hard science fiction something grounded in reality. Come on people, hope there's a hard science fiction movie in the works

I've met several of the people who made those games and I can assure you that they absolutely get what fans want in this franchise.

I just Platinumed Survivor yesterday so fucking good.

SW: The Old Republic is pretty good still and its been going over 10 years.

those games are GOATED. Cal Kestis and BD-1 are among my favorite characters in star wars

@@maninanikittycat4238 Cal is so likeable

Lmao. You know they made 28 billion dollars profit last year. 3% growth over previous year. That’s PROFIT. They aren’t going anywhere. You’re all idiots. But keep watching these KZfaq’s videos inside your little echo chamber.

Yeah it will fail but it has nothing to do with the Percy. It’s Disney itself

Honestly, our percy-boy is a blondie in the preview, my expectations are very low

They can't even get actors that look anything like the characters. Pass.

hope they dont sacrifice talent for wokeness.......as usual.

@@barbarabain4303They’re going to. Riordan was all over twitter blasting people who criticized Annabeth being black

That’s absolutely the problem. The number one problem. These people have been totally open about pushing their social political agendas, and they need to have been fired right after that got out. And then changed course. But of course they didn’t do that smh

Only a terminally online moron blames the workers for the fuck ups of big corporations.

Yo same. When it comes to the original MCU movies were great the new ones just shove politics down our throats. I’m watching a movie to escape and relax. I don’t need dogmatic philosophy shoved down my throat. Plus when it comes to Star Wars, as a die hard fan in my youth, they butchered 7-9. I watched a bit of the Mandalorian, but the plot went no where. You’d spend 40 minutes watching an episode and nothing would happen. It was a big disappointment to say the least.

I forget the lines properly but "How does it feel to watch all your beloved franchises die?" "FUCKING GREAT MAN WHAT DO YOU THINK?"
