Disney somehow managed to frick up their bread and butter, a princess movie.
Domestic collection has nearly flattened already https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Wish-(2023)#tab=box-office
They spent 200 mil on this and they'd be lucky if they make 85.

This is it. People don't understand intertia. Why do business fail? Because someone ruined the product 10-20 years ago and it took that long for the brand to lose its reputation and for the wheels to fall off.
The measure of media's success is how well the sequel does. Marvel movies are bombing now whether there's something wrong with them or not because the last movie or TV show people saw fell flat and the momentum was lost. Nobody is watching Star Wars because between the Prequels and the Sequels nearly every fan of the original trilogy has been pushed away.
The problem is, the effect takes so long to be noticable that people can obliviously shrug or delude themselves about the real cause. Fanboys will point fingers anywhere else and then be shocked when the plug is finally pulled by some beancounter. Addressing the core problem is hard and the fans that are left won't admit what the problem even is.

I mean it's only if you hit something big. I like to play 3 card poker. On the typical seid bett 3 of a kind pays 30-1 and strait flush 40-1. I'm usually bettting 10-20 on that seid bett. If I win $600 I don't mind tossing a $25 chip to the dealer if they're actively engaging and doing a good job. Even for lesser wins like a flush or strait I'll toss them a few bucks here and there. But only if I'm up significantly and they're dealing winning hands. If I'm losing or just treading water, sorry buddy

Yeah, and I also don't think this will be fixed overnight either - the GWGB problem isn't simply that chuds are rejecting your awesome movies with woke messaging, but that you've embraced a DEI-oriented corporate culture that tolerates mediocrity internally. Reversing this will be difficult.

I think their streak of mediocrity is catching up to them. For a long time people went to see Marvel movies because they were Marvel movies and went to see Disney movies because they were Disney movies, but they have been putting out enough bland shit that people are starting to catch on and are no longer giving Disney the benefit of the doubt. Like Captain Marvel wasn't any better than The Marvels but the former made a billion dollars and the latter bombed hard. The reason Captain Marvel did so well was because it was the last MCU movie prior to Endgame and at that point anyone invested in the MCU felt like they had to see the movie.

Basically. They don't want to accept most little girls daydream about love stories instead of being CEO.
They equate marriage and love with female weakness, and frankly that's pretty sad. Nor do they understand traditional story structure enough to appreciate (for example) that a princes and princess marrying after a brief time isn't meant to be a literal instruction manual for life, but a narrative technique. Ending a folktale with the prince and princess entering a multi-year courtship process makes for as satisfying an ending as having a young rulers story end with having tax negotiations with his lords instead of a crowning. It's all about completing the story and character arc, not being real world correct.
In other words, there's basically no ability not to look at story through an overly critical and literal modernest lens, which allows no room for magic or earnestness. Which is why it all feels shallow.

Because they've jettisoned established talent in favor of cheap, young hack writers who design by committee, are obsessed with ‘subverting expectations,' lack a strong foundation in folklore or story theory, and wrongly believe romance is incompatible with active female leads. Any writers with strong enough vision, talent, and power to tell the suits and DEIers to frick off and let them create art appear to have been intentionally isolated as potential rivals. It never occurs to suits you actually need those people and the public won't buy their slop carefully approved by twitter and cheap, newly hired college graduate ideologues until it's too late.

The Kingdom appeared loosely based on Moorish Spain, but actual Moors and Spaniards aren't dark enough so she's some kind of sub-Saharan African and North African mix I suppose

No I mean the current princess would have been the ideal chance for the first Moorish/North African/Berber princess, but they race swapped for a more sub Saharan princess for cynical DEI reasons instead.
Picking North African and moorish Spanish influenced design and then grabbing a princess who resembles people many miles to the south just to appease twitter, basically. But these types think everyone in Africa is sub-Saharan so I shouldn't be shocked.

Disney animation went to shit after Lassiter was forced out, meaning he was most likely holding back people from pushing woke elements into productions, and probably why they used metoo to purge him.
