I don't care about Disney suffering. It's just a brand. The suffering should be experienced by the woke activists who work there. Moustache princesses and other weirdos. They need to get the boot and find jobs working as bitter baristas. -Who I won't tip because I avoid those places now as well. (Woke is repulsive.

Drinker never claims to be the first or only critic. Funny how "the message" has become a cultural topic used by all sorts of people. Truth will out, it always comes to the surface. He unlike Bob Iger doesn't want to be president( thus his charge into the political arena).

The reason why Will Jordan(aka Critical Drinker)is so popular is because what he's been saying for years has resonated with people who enjoy GOOD entertainment,and are fed up and frustrated with entertainment that only preaches "THE MESSAGE" and doesn't really entertain. 🤨👍

@@Hat_With_A_Hat_On Here's the problem with your take. He didn't just start complaining about "THE MESSAGE" without reason. It's an ideology that has been pushed into more games/films/shows than we can count.. When the dust clears Drinker is spot on with his comments. How many times have we heard about the "Right" being the bad guys because they didn't like X or Y? Yet when the "Left" say they don't like something or attack someone that's fine because they will claim victim as soon as called out. The recent CO-ORDINATED attacks on SWT, G&G, Nerdrotic and RKOutpost are based around the fact the don't like The Acolyte. That's the reason WHY the left get's the treatment they do. You can claim it's just because his fans like attacking the left yet we have seen time and time and time again that they have been constantly attacking him and his fans for saying that they don't like whatever. That goes for all of the YT channels who don't want to follow the trend. Now are there some people on the "right" who do just like to "attack" those on the "left"? Definitely. Which goes the other way too,. Let's not forget the second part.

@@Hat_With_A_Hat_Onnot true. Seems to me that you don't get it. Yes, for example Rings of Power and House of the Dagon have both new black characters in it.

@@sonsofjorge7730 I'm not miserable, I've loved all this. Watching normally sensible companies back a very obvious donkey, and throw good money after bad has been a joy to behold.
Yes and no. Yes movies being used as propaganda for current day politics is almost always annoying. Also if you do engage in such acts, you better be ready to suffer the consequences. If you pick a political side by default you are excluding every one that doesn't agree with you. In america that is basically a 50/50 split if you pick either Republican or Democrat. Same if you push male of female agenda's. You can do it, but don't expect the audience you are shunning and/or insulting to buy your product. I would say Morality lessons do work if they are more general, like you know most kids movies/shows. With very simple concepts like friendship, not being a bully, stealing etc. I don't think any one got angry when something like Sesame street taught kids that sharing is caring etc.
Disney/Marvel never should've hired these Activist in the first place even if they do go back to entertainment again its gonna take YEARS to undo the damage
they got tricked. they were told things like 50% of Earth population is women, so if you cater more to women you will get your standard male audience, plus more female audience, so you will make more money. same for blacks, lgbt, etc. the higher ups believed blatant lies like this and they added more diversity, and then they hired activists cause the creators weren't diverse enough, then they hired more activists, and now activists run the show.
@@DemiGod.. Zegler isn't making a dime off that claim... she literally lost them hundreds of millions with her bullshit and they can prove it... these activists aren't making a dime no matter what they say about "unfair dismissals"... don't be naive...
Same. We now know their true colors. They are anti white, anti male, anti straight. Diversity isnt inclusive, it is the exclusion of the above, the more exclusion , the better for them.
This is precisely the reaction I was worried about. These "woke" movies didn't fail because they had LGBT or minority characters. They failed because storytelling took a backseat to evangelism - and few people actually enjoy being lectured on morals. The evangelism led to hollow "girl boss" characters with character arcs flatter than the director's foreheads and male characters with as much charisma as a bowl of plain oatmeal, resulting in a cast with the chemistry of a lukewarm bottle of water. Guess what, you can have a strong, compelling story where the protagonist(s) are gay, lesbian, or some other "underprivileged" minority but it has to simply be a part of the character, not the theme of the movie, and not in place of, you know, an actual plot. People want strong storytelling not sermons. If anything, this BS set back minority representation massively precisely because of this backlash. Had these studios simply included minority characters acting like normal people doing normal things to advance a well-written story, they would have not only not lost a ton of money but actually achieved what the activists state were their goals.
An example of a good film with an inclusive strong female main character is Prey, where in the 18th century a female indian faced the Predator. All the white guys were depicted as evil. It was well written with a good story. The Drinker liked that one.
@@gideonsiete1868 Ehhhh... Drinker did like it well enough but he wasn't super hot on its writing, either. One of his chats with MauLer revealed as much, as the Longman disseminated that fairly contrived movie down to its core and it wasn't super pretty. Plenty of plot holes and contrivances, just less pandering overtly.
I disagree. I think it failed because of open hatred of male customers. They weren't making movies for you. They weren't making movies for male customers. Which is fine if you're making a small budget independent film. But it's a recipe for failure if you're trying to appeal to the Mass market. In 2018 men bought 83% of tickets After birds of play did so miserably in the box office, the female director who had said she didn't care about men attacked men for not attending her movie even though 53% of the audience was men. You might make a profit of 7% of the audience doesn't come but you're not going to make a profit of 50% of the audience doesn't come.
Light Year didn't suck because of a kiss. It sucked because the main character wasn't a toy having a fun adventure with his toy friends. Slinky Dog, T-Rex, Lil Bo Peep, Mr. Potato Head, and the rest rocked! They were voiced by legends. In Lightyear failure was death. Fun.
3 reasons: that opening cringe-inducing text about how "this is andy's favorite movie" deus ex cat saves the day, not the main characters half of the iconic lines didn't exist, and the ones which did were shoehorned in.
Lightyear could have been great... if it was written for a young male audience. So that means Buzz going on adventures, fighting aliens, and being generally heroic and awesome. Instead it was focused on relationships, particularly with his lesbian sidekick, which a young boy like Andy wouldn't have cared about in the slightest.
It also sucked because in-universe, this is supposed to be the movie the Buzz Lightyear toy was based on, and a movie that would have been a blast for little boys when Andy was a kid. Instead the movie feels completely divorced from the Buzz Lightyear toy we meet at the beginning of Toy Story. I think the 2D animated Toon Disney cartoon "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" seems like a better origin story for the toy.
If you cater to 10% of the population you have access to a maximum of 10% of possible revenue. Its simple marketing, i dont understand why these companies are so daft to reality.
Because Hollywood is a large part of that 10%. That's one of the downfalls of living in a bubble. They're so out of touch to what regular people want and think these days which is why they struggle so much when trying to entertain us.
A lot of big film studios went extinct over the decades. It's a healthy thing. To let something die, if the moment is right. No one should be too big to fail. Other things, better things can take its place. It's natural
if it had just been a different type of movie, that would be one thing but every studio has spent years telling me what a horrible person I am and how I am the cause of every social ill on the planet. that was a disgusting personal attack on the viewers just because they did not like your movies. I do not care what these studios do any more and have no intention on giving them any of my money.
@@Hat_With_A_Hat_On So what? They could and should have stopped all of this in the first place in almost all of these films. Something that Needed a Message? If they want to keep that fine BUT The Acolyte, Agatha and all the recent and upcoming slop we got and are about to STILL get doesn't and never did and isn't going to make me put my hand in my pocket anytime soon . Disnoid fkd themselves because they let the Activists run the whole thing for far too long. We saw it Years ago and even then they were warned but ignored it. Too many years have passed since we told them they shouldn't go down this path but they chose to anyway. Also just as an aside when I'm labelled an Istaphobe for not liking X or Y then good luck getting me to care about whatever the product was or any other product you make.
I've already decided never again to give Gillette any of my money after their appalling man hating advert and I'm frankly more than inclined to do the same for Disney.
Ok, you went waaaay back... I mean, I was happy with Sigourney Weaver as Ripley and Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor... they were soooo badass unlike these honey boo boo girls we have today... Hollywood needs more badass girls like Emily Blunt who doesn't give a fuck's fuck about political correctness, she's actually funny with a real life person's humor and doesn't look like she was born on planet crazyland... and she's a good actress too btw... it's not like she can't act But today's women in hollywood either live in a parallel universe or just say all this bullshit in their movies and to promote them just cause they know if they don't they won't hire them... but after this shit is done they'll be out of a job and it will be very hard to come back and convince audiences to watch them... For example I watched the girl that played Rey in the trash Star Wars films... when the first one was made she looked really likeable in interviews and very normal... the more she went into it the more she became nonsensical to promote these movies... I still think her actual self is the original likeable girl but who's gonna watch a movie with her as the star now that everyone hates her guts for being the most unlikeable character in Star Wars history? They don't see the big picture... as the truly GREAT Denzel Washington said "you need to be very careful about picking the first 3 movies you play in... cause that will be the trajectory of your whole career"

I only believe it when I see it. It’s been going on for far too long without caring how much money or fans that they’ve lost. The drinker said good riddance! It can’t be soon enough!
People learn on their mistakes, but not always for the best, if entertainment will return back on track, later "THE" message, will return, it's just they will be more subtle and sneaky with it.
Well, the studios ARE trying to course correct, but compare them to a supertanker trying to do a 180 degree turn: it takes about forever and the effect is hard to notice in the beginning of the turn. Trash like the Acolyte and Agatha has been approved years ago and had already been shot, so the money had already been spent. Studios are doing reshoots in an effort to take off the sharpest edges and pray that they will get at least SOME returns to lower the losses a bit.
I don’t think they got the right message. The problem was not the gay kiss. Very few people care about that. But when THE MESSAGE is more important than good storytelling, people rage quit. Arcane has a gay couple - who cares? It is still one of the best animes out there. Buzz Lightyear lacked a good story.
I hope gaming industry is watching. Woke is a parasite that's a problem across the whole entertainment industry and the activists need to be removed from key places in music, film and gaming industries.
The Gaming Industry just got a massive bloody nose this past month or so. Concord cost $400 Million and was shut down in 12 days and Dustborn barely moved the needle in any capacity and both were absolute failures and as far as the upcoming AC and Dragon Age games goes they're going to be DOA too. We don't want and never asked for DIE shite in our games. We want fun games we can lose ourselves in not the kind of crap we have been getting like Saint's Row. The Modern Audience they pandered to isn't just small it's non exsistent and we will prove that with every game that has an agenda to it until all these studios crumble and new ones that just make good games are back to the forfront. Wukong and Space Marine 2 just showed what we want by selling well and making the games we are willing to put hand in pocket for. 2025 is going to be an interesting year in the gaming sphere if we keep getting more Wukong and less Concord type games,
the woke folks need to accept the fact that a vast majority of liberals also hate the woke beliefs, they just won't state that, if they didn't these woke films would prosper
i used to go to the movies multiple times a year since I've been a teenager in the early 00s. there are a few personal reasons i stopped going to the movies, but it is also because of the movies that are being produced. i just couldn't support that anymore. i miss going to the movies, but i don't think I'll be going to the movies again for a long long time even if things do change.

Just look at all the great films of the last 10-15 years... they are almost all of them by directors who are over 60-70 years old... it's the same guys that were always brilliant... nobody new... nobody fresh... all the new directors are activists who don't even know how to direct... not all but a good 90% of them...
Yup, they will need either to lower the COSTS of their movies and shows. Or get out a few big wins to pay for the rest. And Disney has lost much of its old audience already.
What I wanna see is people. I don't care, if they love blue cat people, or pink unicorns. If the story is written well, it's neatly executed, etc., I like to watch it.

THIS! We want PEOPLE, not weird living billboards for a cause. Also the fact that for the Woke they really seem to love doing the very stereotypes they claim are harmful. Not every Gay person flaunts it nor acts like a flamer/soft boy, hell I have met a gay dude who aside from doing other men, was manly as hell and would throw down for a good reason if need be (and win).
I never thought it takes someone like the Critical Drinker to say what the audience wants in their entertainment. But I glad his commentary made a positive change.
I’m so surprised that Critical Drinker is actually being heard by Disney. I’ve been watching him for years and was just resigned that he would forever be seen as preaching to the choir.
Disney didn't change its policy because of him, nor did they listen to him The thing is completely American, business is business, politics is politics * Disney has "gone bad" in the past years and now it is necessary to explain to the shareholders where the money "disappeared" especially if the profit is kept to finance newer "blockbusters" which of course did not arrive * And now imagine, "I" the billionaire shareholder start yelling at Disney on the board of directors "where is my money?" the administration was smaller than a mouse, and they are just waiting for god to have mercy on them and for me to leave the building and now either the loss of the chair or a change of policy.... what do you think will happen?
@@tihomirrasperic I would never think that some TH-camr would make Disney Change anything. Disney only listens to money. I’m surprised that they acknowledged his existence and realize what he says is how a lot of fans feel.
They lost a HELL of a lot more on Lightyear than $150 million, you didn't account for the fact that of the $226M Disney gets at best HALF because the theaters want their cut as well, plus there are taxes to pay too... So at best they made ~$120M on Lightyear, which would mean their loss is much closer to $250M!
I just never got why they wanted to take ANY genre of movie and try to cater to the complete opposite demographic … I mean it’s quite literally like the lifetime channel trying to cater to the WWE Monday night RAW audience and then wondering why all of the women and their loyal fan base can’t stand their movies anymore … I mean shouldn’t comic book movies try to satisfy the actual people who pay to watch comic book movies instead of alienating ALL of them to POSSIBLY satisfy a small group of woke gender concerned people who LITERALLY hate marvel and Star Wars and will not watch anyway … and I’m by no means disparaging any group of viewers .. I just feel like idk maybe make the movies for the people who are actual fans and are GOING to watch and if you want to garner new fans in other areas possibly branch out to other genres that they enjoy and make NEW films instead of bastardizing another fan bases genre and alienating them all together… idk tho I’m just a dude who only tends to watch things that I enjoy so wtf do I know about shit 😂😂😂 anyway

Hell the Acolyte is basically just Days of our Lives level of drama BS. The twins thing reeked of some lame story line of somebody having a long lost twin who is evil crap we have seen a million times in soapies.
And here is the kicker I worked in Hollywood for 27 years { now retired } People are nice enough but all of them are super liberal ,so most of them are for this crap .I never fit in so glad to be gone . I haven't turned on the TV in 2 1/2 years & don't go to the theater for anything .
Disney girl bossed too hard and caused irreparable harm to old and beloved franchises, a quiet shift back to the old formula isn't enough to open my wallet again. They need to openly admit their error or I'll just buy bootlegs from a local peddler.
I can forgive them for every mistake they did if they are sorry except the one mistake; they put their disgusting message even in the cartoons made for little kids. I will never forgive them for that, I will never forget. They died when they did it. That's utmost evil and evil is impossible to forgive.
I imagine down the road say 10 years and a regime change we may get a "Yeah, we knew it not going to work but they had us by the short and curlies for 6 years", kind of apology. And as long as they get back to what they did right I suspect all would be forgiven. I myself would be ready to simply move forward. At 60 I read comics of the late silver through bronze as a youngster. Those stories are precious to me. As a self described Marvel Zombie I am all too familiar with everything that happened during those decades. The rise of Wolverine and the X-Men. Particularly John Byrnes epic run. I treasure those books in my own collection. As for what Marvel does next? It best impress a heck of a LOT of us
You have to respect the source material and find fitting actors and roll with it. THATS what Deadpool/Wolv did so well. You can make changes but it still has to fit within the overall vision. Even something like Dr Doom is Tony Stark (somehow) can totally work if the story is well written and told. You can even have all the ideals considered vogue and still make a good movie - Turning red, Nimona etc are good examples.
There will be a lot of stumbling as they learn the wrong lessons (as usual) and the... target audience isn't the best at realizing that companies don't care about their weird fixations. It all comes down to how much housecleaning they actually do/did.
That tends to happen when any force tries to manipulate the pendulum, no matter what they're trying to do with it. You can fight physics, but it's always gonna win.
Societies move in predictable patterns, in more or less 20 year intervals. Right now we are at the apex of the liberal swing of the pendulum, and soon it will begin a 40 year swing to conservative values. Check out the Strauss-Howe generational theory (The Fourth Turning). You are right that soon society will turn against liberal values and moral decay. This will be the natural social reaction of the younger generation to their parents dissolute behavior.
The Critical Drinker tells the truth. For the idiots who choose to live in denial, the truth is more painful for them, because they do not want to face the truth. Willful ignorance is a choice. Thank the Critical Drinker for standing up and saying what we are all thinking.
critical drinker is just a kid complaining about other kids, wasting his life with dumb hollywood bs, because that's all that exists in his life: hollywood. At the end of the day he and you and many others are just falling for the divide and conquer trap. woke, anti woke, sjw, anti sjws; it's all the same thing: spoiled kids being manipulated by big corporations
Fans demanding Sonic's movie design to be changed after the first trailer was one thing, but to get acknowledgement by the largest entertainment companies realising their greatest reasons for recent failures really shows how much we can make a difference.
Still trying to understand the dynamic of management retreating from their view of what would be a viable product because the rank and file disagreed. Management gets paid big bucks to make decisions that lead to profit. They are not paid to defer to employees.
I recently sold my shares in Disney as I don’t want to be caught when the price drops below $50 which I can see happening when Iger leaves and the true finances come to light.
The shift back to previous story formats is promising. I’m looking forward to the additional possibility of ticket prices dropping as a result of budgets being under better control. If it looks great and the price makes sense, I offer my money for a good time.
Thanks for garbage woke productions I have no longer intrests about new coming movie titles. Started (re)watching classics and other older titles some years ago and Ive been entertained. F modern movie making and long live physical media and all those great entertaining hours on them !
Good, but I won't be opening a champagne and a cigar just yet, as Critical Drinker mentioned - getting rid of "the message" is only part of the problem. Good writing and directing is a bigger problem. Some heads will have to fly, and some new heads get employed. This time hopefully using merit/quality as the criteria, not DEI. Looking forward to some watchable and entertaining films... ;)
For me. Indiana Jones and The Dial Of Destiny. Hurt the most.

It's gonna be tough to change Disney. The Company is in a bubble, they are in industry that's in a bubble, a city that's in a bubble, and a state that's in a bubble. It will take years to weed out these employees. Most of these people would rather see Disney go out of business, than to change the way they operate. I don't work for Disney or know people who do, but I do know people in the same industry and we talk about this all the time.
Thing is, getting money from Black Rock made them do this, but if the stock and profit drops, Black Rock drops out. Larry Fink can talk DEI how muck he wants, but even he knows he's talking shit!
In the words (approximately) of Gaius Baltar: These people don't just decide to lose money for no reason. In fact, they are _not_ losing money at all. They are _investing_ it -- in the future they want to create.
I hope they turn it around and fans get what they want. I'm in my mid 30's but, they lost me for good. At least I still got the LotR/Indiana Jones trilogies.

@@Hat_With_A_Hat_Onnot true. Seems to me that you don't get it. Yes, for example Rings of Power and House of the Dagon have both new black characters in it. But the "message" is stronger in RoP, because the core of HotD is entertainment and not sacrificing it for a small targetgroup to feel better. That is all about.
These talentless activist reap what they sow. Shall we celebrate and dance like the media told us to?
Nah.. they actually achieved what they wanted all along. Made us miserable like them. A sliver of hope though, we can rebuild
@@sonsofjorge7730 I'm not miserable, I've loved all this. Watching normally sensible companies back a very obvious donkey, and throw good money after bad has been a joy to behold.

Movies should be fun, escapes from reality, not morality lectures.
I can't agree with you.
Not all movies should be escapes from reality. What the movies should never be is preaching twisted versions of morality.
@@ДокторЯдоWhose idea of morality? Nothing is immoral as long as all parties involved are concenting participants.
Yes and no. Yes movies being used as propaganda for current day politics is almost always annoying. Also if you do engage in such acts, you better be ready to suffer the consequences. If you pick a political side by default you are excluding every one that doesn't agree with you. In america that is basically a 50/50 split if you pick either Republican or Democrat. Same if you push male of female agenda's. You can do it, but don't expect the audience you are shunning and/or insulting to buy your product.
I would say Morality lessons do work if they are more general, like you know most kids movies/shows. With very simple concepts like friendship, not being a bully, stealing etc. I don't think any one got angry when something like Sesame street taught kids that sharing is caring etc.
@@jonsturgill8868
That's not what we're discussing.
@@ДокторЯдо Then why bring up morals?
Disney/Marvel never should've hired these Activist in the first place even if they do go back to entertainment again its gonna take YEARS to undo the damage
I see alot of unfair dismissal claims such as from zegler.
they got tricked. they were told things like 50% of Earth population is women, so if you cater more to women you will get your standard male audience, plus more female audience, so you will make more money. same for blacks, lgbt, etc. the higher ups believed blatant lies like this and they added more diversity, and then they hired activists cause the creators weren't diverse enough, then they hired more activists, and now activists run the show.
@@DemiGod.. Zegler isn't making a dime off that claim... she literally lost them hundreds of millions with her bullshit and they can prove it... these activists aren't making a dime no matter what they say about "unfair dismissals"... don't be naive...
Not to mention that if a company can go woke and then go back, then they can do all that again.
@DemiGod.. ziegler deserved to get fired!! I'm stunned you don't see that!!! She is evil incarnate and tbh a total woke tool!! Screw woke!!
I still won't pay for Disney content, no matter how far they backpedal....
Same. We now know their true colors. They are anti white, anti male, anti straight. Diversity isnt inclusive, it is the exclusion of the above, the more exclusion , the better for them.
When they scream at out with every minute of every product they put out that they hate you and want you gone, at some point you have to believe them.
Too damned late, never again. They can fire em all but too damned late!
Yup, I ended my Disney + after they raised prises and reduced entertainment quality. I'm not paying to be treated like dog muck.
Sail the high seas mateys!!!!
This is precisely the reaction I was worried about. These "woke" movies didn't fail because they had LGBT or minority characters. They failed because storytelling took a backseat to evangelism - and few people actually enjoy being lectured on morals. The evangelism led to hollow "girl boss" characters with character arcs flatter than the director's foreheads and male characters with as much charisma as a bowl of plain oatmeal, resulting in a cast with the chemistry of a lukewarm bottle of water.
Guess what, you can have a strong, compelling story where the protagonist(s) are gay, lesbian, or some other "underprivileged" minority but it has to simply be a part of the character, not the theme of the movie, and not in place of, you know, an actual plot. People want strong storytelling not sermons.
If anything, this BS set back minority representation massively precisely because of this backlash. Had these studios simply included minority characters acting like normal people doing normal things to advance a well-written story, they would have not only not lost a ton of money but actually achieved what the activists state were their goals.
An example of a good film with an inclusive strong female main character is Prey, where in the 18th century a female indian faced the Predator. All the white guys were depicted as evil. It was well written with a good story. The Drinker liked that one.
God does not want people to practice homosexuality.
@@gideonsiete1868 Ehhhh... Drinker did like it well enough but he wasn't super hot on its writing, either. One of his chats with MauLer revealed as much, as the Longman disseminated that fairly contrived movie down to its core and it wasn't super pretty. Plenty of plot holes and contrivances, just less pandering overtly.
💯 agreed!
I disagree. I think it failed because of open hatred of male customers.
They weren't making movies for you. They weren't making movies for male customers.
Which is fine if you're making a small budget independent film. But it's a recipe for failure if you're trying to appeal to the Mass market. In 2018 men bought 83% of tickets
After birds of play did so miserably in the box office, the female director who had said she didn't care about men attacked men for not attending her movie even though 53% of the audience was men.
You might make a profit of 7% of the audience doesn't come but you're not going to make a profit of 50% of the audience doesn't come.
Light Year didn't suck because of a kiss. It sucked because the main character wasn't a toy having a fun adventure with his toy friends. Slinky Dog, T-Rex, Lil Bo Peep, Mr. Potato Head, and the rest rocked! They were voiced by legends. In Lightyear failure was death. Fun.
3 reasons:
that opening cringe-inducing text about how "this is andy's favorite movie"
deus ex cat saves the day, not the main characters
half of the iconic lines didn't exist, and the ones which did were shoehorned in.
Lightyear could have been great... if it was written for a young male audience.
So that means Buzz going on adventures, fighting aliens, and being generally heroic and awesome.
Instead it was focused on relationships, particularly with his lesbian sidekick, which a young boy like Andy wouldn't have cared about in the slightest.
@@nobody8717 And they tried to cover up their lack of talent by using the most mediocre material out of fanfiction.
It also sucked because in-universe, this is supposed to be the movie the Buzz Lightyear toy was based on, and a movie that would have been a blast for little boys when Andy was a kid. Instead the movie feels completely divorced from the Buzz Lightyear toy we meet at the beginning of Toy Story. I think the 2D animated Toon Disney cartoon "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" seems like a better origin story for the toy.
If you cater to 10% of the population you have access to a maximum of 10% of possible revenue. Its simple marketing, i dont understand why these companies are so daft to reality.
Because Hollywood is a large part of that 10%. That's one of the downfalls of living in a bubble. They're so out of touch to what regular people want and think these days which is why they struggle so much when trying to entertain us.
A lot of big film studios went extinct over the decades. It's a healthy thing. To let something die, if the moment is right. No one should be too big to fail. Other things, better things can take its place. It's natural
Except banks, oil companies, drug companies, etc...
Gotta give them billions so they're ok.
Your politicians disagree.
Banks, oil companies, drug manufacturers, etc... they get billions to keep them up.
The groomers have been going after the kids. The public does not want this.
if it had just been a different type of movie, that would be one thing but every studio has spent years telling me what a horrible person I am and how I am the cause of every social ill on the planet. that was a disgusting personal attack on the viewers just because they did not like your movies. I do not care what these studios do any more and have no intention on giving them any of my money.
But they're getting rid of the people who did all that
The company isn't self aware.
@@Hat_With_A_Hat_On So what? They could and should have stopped all of this in the first place in almost all of these films. Something that Needed a Message? If they want to keep that fine BUT The Acolyte, Agatha and all the recent and upcoming slop we got and are about to STILL get doesn't and never did and isn't going to make me put my hand in my pocket anytime soon .
Disnoid fkd themselves because they let the Activists run the whole thing for far too long. We saw it Years ago and even then they were warned but ignored it. Too many years have passed since we told them they shouldn't go down this path but they chose to anyway. Also just as an aside when I'm labelled an Istaphobe for not liking X or Y then good luck getting me to care about whatever the product was or any other product you make.
I've already decided never again to give Gillette any of my money after their appalling man hating advert and I'm frankly more than inclined to do the same for Disney.
Absolutely. There’s a poster the despot of Antrim who did a great post on Gillette. If you’ve not seen it have a look.
The thing is, governments funded a lot of this. That's why they continued to knock out these films because they were government funded
consulting firms get lots of money for convincing executives to do what they want to do. from more than just government investors.
@@nobody8717The entities pushing this owns the governments
Did they ? I got the impresion it was companies like Black Rock.

Movies have always gotten grants and funding. Even the ones with moral and political stances you agree with.
Once upon a time we did have Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Liz Taylor.
Now we have this....
Indeed we are in dystopia 😭😭
Our forefathers revolted over tea. These days, men are women.
The british have alot of influnce. One of them , Boris Johnson is solely responsible for the ongoing war in ukraine.
Ok, you went waaaay back... I mean, I was happy with Sigourney Weaver as Ripley and Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor... they were soooo badass unlike these honey boo boo girls we have today... Hollywood needs more badass girls like Emily Blunt who doesn't give a fuck's fuck about political correctness, she's actually funny with a real life person's humor and doesn't look like she was born on planet crazyland... and she's a good actress too btw... it's not like she can't act
But today's women in hollywood either live in a parallel universe or just say all this bullshit in their movies and to promote them just cause they know if they don't they won't hire them... but after this shit is done they'll be out of a job and it will be very hard to come back and convince audiences to watch them...
For example I watched the girl that played Rey in the trash Star Wars films... when the first one was made she looked really likeable in interviews and very normal... the more she went into it the more she became nonsensical to promote these movies... I still think her actual self is the original likeable girl but who's gonna watch a movie with her as the star now that everyone hates her guts for being the most unlikeable character in Star Wars history?
They don't see the big picture... as the truly GREAT Denzel Washington said "you need to be very careful about picking the first 3 movies you play in... cause that will be the trajectory of your whole career"

I only believe it when I see it. It’s been going on for far too long without caring how much money or fans that they’ve lost. The drinker said good riddance! It can’t be soon enough!
People learn on their mistakes, but not always for the best, if entertainment will return back on track, later "THE" message, will return, it's just they will be more subtle and sneaky with it.
Critical Drinker is Class.
He says what we all think.
"Woke" and entertainment do not belong in the same sentence.
Well, the studios ARE trying to course correct, but compare them to a supertanker trying to do a 180 degree turn: it takes about forever and the effect is hard to notice in the beginning of the turn. Trash like the Acolyte and Agatha has been approved years ago and had already been shot, so the money had already been spent. Studios are doing reshoots in an effort to take off the sharpest edges and pray that they will get at least SOME returns to lower the losses a bit.
I don’t think they got the right message. The problem was not the gay kiss. Very few people care about that. But when THE MESSAGE is more important than good storytelling, people rage quit. Arcane has a gay couple - who cares? It is still one of the best animes out there. Buzz Lightyear lacked a good story.
What message? Lol you guys just say stuff with know meaning behind it.
Disney and others have displayed to the world how utterly limp-wristed their top-level management is.
I hope gaming industry is watching. Woke is a parasite that's a problem across the whole entertainment industry and the activists need to be removed from key places in music, film and gaming industries.
The Gaming Industry just got a massive bloody nose this past month or so. Concord cost $400 Million and was shut down in 12 days and Dustborn barely moved the needle in any capacity and both were absolute failures and as far as the upcoming AC and Dragon Age games goes they're going to be DOA too. We don't want and never asked for DIE shite in our games. We want fun games we can lose ourselves in not the kind of crap we have been getting like Saint's Row.
The Modern Audience they pandered to isn't just small it's non exsistent and we will prove that with every game that has an agenda to it until all these studios crumble and new ones that just make good games are back to the forfront. Wukong and Space Marine 2 just showed what we want by selling well and making the games we are willing to put hand in pocket for. 2025 is going to be an interesting year in the gaming sphere if we keep getting more Wukong and less Concord type games,
First step is to never let Waikiki run a movie ever again 😂
Hollywood doesn't know what's going to be a hit, as soon as something makes money they jump on it for sequels and spin offs.
saw a woman at the store today. I can't believe they made shopping woke
the woke folks need to accept the fact that a vast majority of liberals also hate the woke beliefs, they just won't state that, if they didn't these woke films would prosper

i used to go to the movies multiple times a year since I've been a teenager in the early 00s. there are a few personal reasons i stopped going to the movies, but it is also because of the movies that are being produced. i just couldn't support that anymore. i miss going to the movies, but i don't think I'll be going to the movies again for a long long time even if things do change.

Inflation doesn’t help.
@@lyssdare Don't call it inflation... people with an economics degree know that inflation is the rise of the quantity of money overtime that represents the same value... that means that SALARIES should be raised too to match that change... but salaries haven't gone up in the last 20+ years... so it's not inflation, it's just predatory pricing...
Don't let them fool you that this is "inflation"... the media will never tell the people what it actually is...
@@desertfish74 I watched "The Day After Tomorrow" yesterday on Netflix with my sister cause she hadn't seen the movie and I hadn't seen it in over a decade... the movie is 20 years old this year (2004) and the visuals on 4K were literally SHITTING on 99% of today's movies... part of the problem is that along with all the woke bullshit and shit scenarios, nowadays, outside of the old guard (Spielberg, Cameron, Nolan, Emerich, Ridley Scott etc), the new age directors are completely uneducated and refuse to learn from the past... they just throw in a bunch of half baked CGI without any thought and call it a day... and don't get me wrong, "The Day After Tomorrow" was almost all CGI since the subject can't be reproduced with practical effects... but they were NOT half baked... they were worked on religiously and the result was just beautiful to watch...
Just look at all the great films of the last 10-15 years... they are almost all of them by directors who are over 60-70 years old... it's the same guys that were always brilliant... nobody new... nobody fresh... all the new directors are activists who don't even know how to direct... not all but a good 90% of them...
How is Disney changing when they just released Agatha, Lezbo All Along. I hope they do keep it up. Would be so funny to see Disney go bankrupt.

Or get out a few big wins to pay for the rest.

Also the fact that for the Woke they really seem to love doing the very stereotypes they claim are harmful.
Not every Gay person flaunts it nor acts like a flamer/soft boy, hell I have met a gay dude who aside from doing other men, was manly as hell and would throw down for a good reason if need be (and win).
I never thought it takes someone like the Critical Drinker to say what the audience wants in their entertainment. But I glad his commentary made a positive change.
I’m so surprised that Critical Drinker is actually being heard by Disney. I’ve been watching him for years and was just resigned that he would forever be seen as preaching to the choir.
Disney didn't change its policy because of him, nor did they listen to him
The thing is completely American, business is business, politics is politics

Disney has "gone bad" in the past years and now it is necessary to explain to the shareholders where the money "disappeared"
especially if the profit is kept to finance newer "blockbusters" which of course did not arrive

And now imagine, "I" the billionaire shareholder start yelling at Disney on the board of directors "where is my money?"
the administration was smaller than a mouse, and they are just waiting for god to have mercy on them and for me to leave the building
and now either the loss of the chair or a change of policy....
what do you think will happen?
@@tihomirrasperic I would never think that some TH-camr would make Disney Change anything. Disney only listens to money. I’m surprised that they acknowledged his existence and realize what he says is how a lot of fans feel.
Can evil be entirely eliminated?... We'll see! For now no more Disney Plus for my kids until I see real changes...
They lost a HELL of a lot more on Lightyear than $150 million, you didn't account for the fact that of the $226M Disney gets at best HALF because the theaters want their cut as well, plus there are taxes to pay too... So at best they made ~$120M on Lightyear, which would mean their loss is much closer to $250M!
Plus advertising and promotion costs
Thank goodness losing money is unsustainable!🎉
I just never got why they wanted to take ANY genre of movie and try to cater to the complete opposite demographic … I mean it’s quite literally like the lifetime channel trying to cater to the WWE Monday night RAW audience and then wondering why all of the women and their loyal fan base can’t stand their movies anymore … I mean shouldn’t comic book movies try to satisfy the actual people who pay to watch comic book movies instead of alienating ALL of them to POSSIBLY satisfy a small group of woke gender concerned people who LITERALLY hate marvel and Star Wars and will not watch anyway … and I’m by no means disparaging any group of viewers .. I just feel like idk maybe make the movies for the people who are actual fans and are GOING to watch and if you want to garner new fans in other areas possibly branch out to other genres that they enjoy and make NEW films instead of bastardizing another fan bases genre and alienating them all together… idk tho I’m just a dude who only tends to watch things that I enjoy so wtf do I know about shit 😂😂😂 anyway

I imagine down the road say 10 years and a regime change we may get a "Yeah, we knew it not going to work but they had us by the short and curlies for 6 years", kind of apology. And as long as they get back to what they did right I suspect all would be forgiven. I myself would be ready to simply move forward. At 60 I read comics of the late silver through bronze as a youngster. Those stories are precious to me. As a self described Marvel Zombie I am all too familiar with everything that happened during those decades. The rise of Wolverine and the X-Men. Particularly John Byrnes epic run.

You have to respect the source material and find fitting actors and roll with it. THATS what Deadpool/Wolv did so well. You can make changes but it still has to fit within the overall vision.
Even something like Dr Doom is Tony Stark (somehow) can totally work if the story is well written and told.
You can even have all the ideals considered vogue and still make a good movie - Turning red, Nimona etc are good examples.
Twister is fresh and good, like 2010 vibes. No fighting between man and woman.

Star Wars is lost! There is no save for that turd.

The pendulum is going to swing the other way REALLY FING HARD
That tends to happen when any force tries to manipulate the pendulum, no matter what they're trying to do with it. You can fight physics, but it's always gonna win.
Societies move in predictable patterns, in more or less 20 year intervals. Right now we are at the apex of the liberal swing of the pendulum, and soon it will begin a 40 year swing to conservative values. Check out the Strauss-Howe generational theory (The Fourth Turning).
You are right that soon society will turn against liberal values and moral decay. This will be the natural social reaction of the younger generation to their parents dissolute behavior.

Still trying to understand the dynamic of management retreating from their view of what would be a viable product because the rank and file disagreed. Management gets paid big bucks to make decisions that lead to profit. They are not paid to defer to employees.
I recently sold my shares in Disney as I don’t want to be caught when the price drops below $50 which I can see happening when Iger leaves and the true finances come to light.

The last films I saw in the cinema was the Hobbit; I do not see myself ever going to the cinema ever again.
Good, but I won't be opening a champagne and a cigar just yet, as Critical Drinker mentioned - getting rid of "the message" is only part of the problem. Good writing and directing is a bigger problem. Some heads will have to fly, and some new heads get employed. This time hopefully using merit/quality as the criteria, not DEI. Looking forward to some watchable and entertaining films... ;)
Thanks for covering this.

It's gonna be tough to change Disney. The Company is in a bubble, they are in industry that's in a bubble, a city that's in a bubble, and a state that's in a bubble. It will take years to weed out these employees. Most of these people would rather see Disney go out of business, than to change the way they operate. I don't work for Disney or know people who do, but I do know people in the same industry and we talk about this all the time.

In the words (approximately) of Gaius Baltar: These people don't just decide to lose money for no reason. In fact, they are _not_ losing money at all. They are _investing_ it -- in the future they want to create.
