I'm a writer and an artist and I can tell you that identity politics ruin everything. People who resort to this do it because they are not capable of creating anything interesting.
Diversity in what the sexual orientation and skin color of the professional managerial class people - who all have the same kind of parents, go to all the same kinds of excellent schools, go to the same kinds of colleges, get the same types of degrees, and live the same exact damn lives in urban centers - that is the only kind of diversity they care about. Ironically, the only thing about the Marxism they believe in is how ideology works, that is the process of the rulers always trying to dictate culture and thinking via useful middle class tools...
They're taking orders from....the higher ups 😬. If you've ever played Stellaris you'll recognize what they're doing. Take control of the entertainment in an attempt to mold society to get to the outcome you want. What lifestyles are being prodiminately pushed nowadays? Lifestyles that ensure people won't have children. Interesting... why? Well the global elites have been trying to tackle the "overpopulation" problem for decades. Instead of outright wiping 90% of the population, they can encourage lifestyles that will ensure this will happen by itself. There's more that they're doing but, that's it in a nutshell.
Only for legit artists and those who want to make money. Disney issues stocks so becomes a hobby project for self congratulating corporates who happen to hate Walt the man Disney.
As a creator; if you write an entertaining story, pilot, film or song, and people absorb that media and go "It was great, but where is the inclusivity or diversity?" Your immediate response should be to disregard whatever 'critique' they give you. If that's the only problem your creation has, you're good. I promise you, you're good.
They don't care about the message... they get money from blackrock to put the message in everything.. disney is the false villian.. blackrock is the real villian...
That person from Disney says - quite plainly - that if a show isn't "diverse" then it's "feeding to an all-white cast". Excuse me, what about all black? Or all Asian? Neither of them are "diverse". Black Panther was not "diverse". Does he know the MEANING of the word "diverse" ? I can well believe that he doesn't.
These people use words not the same way as you an me do. Their diverse doesn't mean the same as when we use diverse. In their lingo diverse means non-white, it's double speak to hide their own racism. It is why it is impossible to talk to these people. Look into James Lindsay latest talks and book if you want to understand more on this topic.
@@DavidByrden1 Thank you too! Asking them to define the words would be a very good idea. Sadly it rarely happends. Very often with mainstream channels the journalists are part of the in-group as well and already radicalised, which stops their critical thinking. And when more skeptical journalists do it, it often leads to rage or a word salad (ask them to define gender, a man, a woman, diversity, equity, inclusion) from the person questioned. All those words and many more have a specific meaning within the dogma that is different from what common people use. In that regard this whole “critical theory” / “identity politics” dogma has a lot in common with religious fundamentalism. And you’ll get the same reactions as with religious fundamentalism (unlike with moderates). Since it is new we should spread awareness of this. I think most normal/ neutral people will disagree with the ideas these people propose. But since the double and different meaning of the words they use (which all sound nice) people tend to go along. Most people are nice and empathic and like to help and please their fellow humans, which is exactly what this exploits. Everything is designed to exclude the majority in a certain spectrum. Black Lives Matter suggests everybody else doesn’t. LGBTQ+ is an abbreviation to exclude straight people. BIPOC, in the USA means everybody except white people. In Europe BIPOC it isn’t used of course since Europeans are the I (indigenous) in Europe. James Lindsay makes a convincing case that “critical theory/ identity politics” is communism for the west. I really recommend it, he explains it very eloquently. He has a speech for the EU parliament, a bit under half an hour. It summarizes a lot.
If it has only one minority in it, then it's not diverse. Shows like From are diverse because the MC is a black sheriff in a small town, and his deputy is an Asian dude in his mid-20s. The rest of the cast is white. The baddies are literal monsters that are disguised as humans.
Unless disney fires these woke clowns and offers up a proper apology I will never pay for another product. And I know that many others feel this way. They have completely and utterly betrayed us. And deserve to go broke.
I don't think the 'kiss' had anything to do with the bad writing. I watched the whole thing and can't remember much of it... just he beginning... and the kiss had nothing to do with it... the writing did.
@@DaveBjornRappOh yes it is a sign of bad writing. That's what they wanted, despite the common sense people who wanted to keep things sane told them. They disobeyed, just to push an unwanted "in your face" agenda, while making Buzz Lightyear the villain at the end (the Zerg face reveal). It's bad all the way around, and the stuff that happened while in production and post-production between those LGBT+ activists/ "allies" and the ones who wanted to keep the movie alright and not agenda driven is to blame. Not the ones who criticize based on the information given.
Amazon pulled a few years back "The Expanse" and it was full of "diversity" but wasn't woke or forced and the plot was very good cause it was well written!
I've said before if you want diversity, diversify the folklore. Instead of taking a European fairy tale and race swap characters, for example use African mythology and cast black characters. I mean Moana was cultural, no one complained. Princess and the Frog, Encanto, and Raya. They just need to give as much respect to the live action versions as they have to the animated ones.
@@4lackofbetter a good example is gaz of thrones , it was diverse, and all races weren't homogeneously mixed all the time. You could identify where characters came from by how they looked or their accents
@@Raven3557 Yeah, but that isn't Disney. I wasn't much of a fan but I can see what you mean. My roommate was a fan so I saw more of it than I intended.
Do take note how when Drinker is asked about "woke" agenda he doesn't take the obvious slam dunk but rather brings up much more complex issue than just "woke = bad." Unlike what the...uh... certain part of the public, let's call them, tries to smear him as? I've seen and heard people just box him as another right wing commentator. This man is so passionate about cinematography as a form of art it's mindblowing.
It's rather amazing how much of an impact Disney has had making these movies to warp people perceptions in the subject of "representation" and how much they have now, when very little is needed to remind them and SHOW them that it's always been there. I'll never forget a moment I had working in a theater when the 1st Black Panther debuted. I was tearing tickets for people coming in (WE SOLD OUT), and a dude walked up, wearing this all black with gold trim ensemble with a gold chain necklace around his neck. He told me "Man, it feels awesome to finally have a black super hero in a comic book movie, ya know!?" I didn't even bat an eye and I just said "Blade." "What?" "BLADE? The Day Walker??? Bad ass vampire hunter!? He had a whole trilogy of movies! Including BEING a Marvel Super Hero for decades?" "........oh."
There was diversity in The Wire, and nobody complained about how crap the writing was and promoted the show purely as a show with about and solely concerned with how diverse it was without referring to the show, what its about or why you should watch it except to show off your rainbow flag credentials.
The problem is what they stated... they think DEI is a substitute for good writing. They would rather hire a diverse cast and give them a bad script... rather than make a good script and then give it to a diverse cast. It sounds crazy when spoken out loud, but the Disney defender said that they needed more DEI and the poor quality in writing wasn't the issue. Which ironically sounds more racist as it claims that diverse people shouldn't be given good scripts.
I like how "fatigue" has been the excuse for like, what, 4 years now? Uh, I guess that asks first, "how long are people supposed to BE fatigued for" and "if they're still so fatigued, why are you making these movies still?" No, it is not, and it never WAS "fatigue". If there was such fatigue then Deadpool and Wolverine would not be the MASSIVE success that it was.
If it was fatigue, Deadpool and Spiderman wouldn't have made anywhere near as much money as they did. And I don't even think the new deadpool movie was that good. It was basically nothing but a string of "hey, remember this character? Weren't they cool?" with a couple good wolverine character moments sprinkled in. But that movie still made more than any other marvel project in years because it wasn't the same woke bullshit they've been shitting down the pipeline nonstop. I don't think it deserved as much as it made, but I understand why it did. People are so starved for something that isn't absolute dogshit that they'll settle for a bare minimum of mediocrity.
If you’re gonna bring up the black panther sequel, you gotta factor in Chadwick Boseman not being in it, a huge loss in life but of course for the Black Panther franchise
they did that since Steven Universe as well. They cut a lot and it shows because I (someone who watched the show) don't know that there's several things cut out from my TV channel and talk about it, it trigger some people from the states. I guess they don't know about the censored stuff overseas lol. That actually led me to finding out how effed up the w oke people are.
Now to remove all the Woke/DEI criteria out of the movie award shows. Emmys, Academy Awards, Oscars, etc. It has nothing to do with a good movie or acting. It's just pushing an agenda.
Both of them should be hired by Disney to run the whole damn company. Both have more integrity and work ethic in their pinky fingers than all of Disney's staff baha
Wow, I am at 1:22 and have already seen "Disney's" representative have a "Case for Cancel Culture" book on his shelf turned TOWARDS the camera, pretty obvious lol.
Just like in video games, these companies need to stop hiring people that hate (or don't even know about or care) about the source material. People who are into particular works of fiction don't really appreciate when someone with no knowledge or interest in those works of fiction come in a re-write and butcher the stories.
Also keep in mind that most Disney films are SPECIFICALLY marketed to children. So having divisive political messaging comes across at attempts of indoctrinating innocent kids to bend to their ideas, which parents hate. And hyper sexuality and the promotion of sexual topics feels not only indoctrinating but also inappropriate and obscene. Parents don’t want to subject their children to this kind of nonsense, even less than they want to be subjected to it themselves.
I've started watching physical movies almost exclusively. I'm so tired of paying hand over fist for the crap on streaming services when the best movies were made 10+ years ago.
Disney is never going to learn Nyrion. They’re just going to reign in the misandrist messaging but they'll always be anti-male at their core. Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic aren’t helping either, they still can’t say who's really doing this and why
The only reason that Deadpool and Wolverine came out as "unwoke" as it is... is because Ryan fought Disney like a demon to prevent the Woke changes. This is NOT to the credit of Disney. It is to the credit of a very strong Ryan, who they could not just put down like they did Gina.
When they turned Captain America, Tinkerbell and ariel black it was the final straw I got rid of everything Disney and marvel from my collection and glad I did because they are now worthless to collectors. When the force woke garbage came out, I got rid of all my star was stuff as well and for the same reasons. They abandoned the fans and took a woke stance to discuss everyone they hate that being the fans that spent probably over a trillion dollars to make them what they were and now they are realizing that it was a mistake and not firing enough woke people rather they fired all the heterosexual white males that made the stories good.
I couldn't''t agree more, not because I'm against the whole LGBTQ+ thing, but rather because the writing took a huge hit when the story was 2nd to the agenda. England produces many movies and TV shows with LGBTQ+ people in them, but they're well written stories - not some checkbox ticking spreadsheet.
2 things. 1) many of the activists probably dismissed this debate due to the bias shown by the man leading the debate as set up to skew the story (it didnt lets be honest but lack of "impartiallity" does hurt it). 2) black panther obviously succeeded because it was good, the "diversity" was literally just them being generally accurate to the place they set the movie in, like featuring brown bears in north america, but polar bears in anartica, instead of "diversifying" bears by putting a movie set in WA state featuring an an all polar bear cast
Modern Disney is dead to me and to millions of others as well. We are tired of the pathetic grooming of our youth and just the plain awful writing. I'll stick with the classics. I'd rather watch 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) than ANY of the latest garbage from Disney. No they wont learn until they run out of money. Not until they hit rock bottom choking on their own vomit in the gutter like any junkie.
The problem with Disney is that they thought that we would all just smile and eat the plate of shit they left out. The truth is we all left their space and their box office was nuked.
Still we ignore the real problem, ESG, Black Rock, Vanguard and all the racketeering investment shenanigans that is driving this. Iger would be out and Disney would have turned the corner if not for these investment companies voting other peoples shares against the shareholders better interest.
What Disney and all these other companies don’t seem to understand is that the biggest issue is poor story telling. You can have a “diverse” cast or a strong female lead and still make great movie. And we have tons of examples like Alien, Black Panther, and the original Star Wars trilogy just to name a few. But instead of having a good story first they only care about checking the boxes of DEI. And yes a lot of people don’t want to see “the message” but if it’s a great movie people will still go see it even if it has “the message”.
These people are gonna believe whatever they want and will defend it to the death even in the face of facts and reality. Stop arguing with them or trying to reason just let them stand and fail on their own it's their money.
If Disney has started cleaning “house of mouse 🐭“ of activists …… we won’t see change of this until a few years down the track when new Disney movies / animated movies are released. I hope this is true and Lucasfilms Star Wars etc is cleaned out too 💪😇🥳👍
Even under Walt, Disney made very little original content. Since his passing, they buy the companies who come up with originals and run those stories into the ground.
In 'Inside Out'; What gender are the Mother's Emotions? All Female. What gender are the Father's Emotions? All Male. What gender are the Daughter's Emotions? LGBT Propaganda for Children.
Well I woupd argure that since Riley is not gay in inside out 2 that might have been unintentainal I veiw it as anima and animus as she is still developing into straight white girl
I think….disney marvel released “Agatha” which I am not watching cuz it’s just another lesbian coven story from the same people who created the acolyte. As a matter of fact, the only content I’ve taken part of in 2024 from the house of mouse is Deadpool and Wolverine. Pretty sure that’s all I can take.
Disney is channeling their inner Genral Melchett (from Blackadder), "General Melchett : If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through. "
Holy cow! That's the first time I've heard Drinker doing an analysis of the entertainment industry while sober! He's just as brilliant while sober as he is drunk.
I gotta say at the end where you say they are finally listening to channels like the critical drinker and nerdrotic, AND MINE that was funny. Good video
Disney isn’t ignoring DEI-they're one of its main champions! They prioritize ideology over fans, and their own management admits it in meetings that have been recorded and shared online. Disney isn't clueless; they've been ideologically captured. And to the Disney supporter: don’t start with "There’s been a lot of misinformation." That only reveals you're also ideologically captured. These phrases are exactly what the woke use. No self-reflection.
Honestly, this may sound odd, but one of the biggest things which has killed Disney, the movie industry, etc. is that they have been willing to *UNDERVALUE* Digital content. You can watch all the movies you want with a 15$ subscription. That has totally GUTTED the post-box office money trail of the movie industry. Prior to the rise of digital, most movies - even really good movies - only broke even or made modest gains. It was the post-theatre sales that lead to profitability. I don't know how they fix that now. Also, movie timetables have accelerated too much. Scripts and screenplays aren't in a finished state, VFX are being ordered last minute at emergency $$ rates. Reshoots and re-doing special effects have become common place.
99% of Fans vs 1% of others, isn't a Civil War Fans have given up caring about Star Wars or Marvel, they are waiting for a good movie, like Deadpool and Wolverine
When you are working in the arts, you don't work to get financially rich, you work to enrich yourself as a human being. This is something corporations are insensitive to. Art and corporations mix as well together as oil and water.
Me: “Mirror Mirror🪞 on the wall , I would like to experience a classic Disney film without worrying about Palestine 🇵🇸 or Israel 🇮🇱 or any political or racial or gender divisive issue. I just want to be entertained & maybe relive some childhood joy. PERIOD. FULL STOP 🛑!” Mirror: “Sorry, the Disney elevator 🛗 doesn’t stop on that floor anymore” Me: “Wierd, Wierd”. “I guess I have to spend my entertainment dollars somewhere else! When does “Dune Messiah” come to movie 🎥 theatres?”
There is still too much pride in the leadership at Disney so I expect to still see "the message" and them pushing their woke agenda until they crash so hard, the fans and stock holders will force a change in the woke leadership. As Drinker and Nerdrotic continue to say, it is not that there are diverse characters, the problem is changing the characters that have been popular for decades to a very divers fandom, and very poor story telling and changing everything that created fans in the first place. Creating new and original characters that are different can work if the story telling and art are good. Poor writers don't want to hear their stories are garbage. Their pride leads them to believe they can do no wrong.
Bragging about how you won't hire anyone who reads comics is not a good strategy when you're making comic book movies. It's also not a good idea to vilify the fanbase.
the gay kiss in Lightyear was not the reason why that movie flop. It was boring as fuck. It has the same quality as those bad straight to video disney sequel from the 90's but for some reason it was given a huge budget. And I guess they tried to score diversity points with the gay kiss but it clearly didn't work. We should stop bringing it up because it was non consequential
Being an all black film is not diverse
And, my personal favorite, calling yourself diverse and inclusive by favoring only POC's while being blatantly racist towards white people.
When you exclude 1 demographic, that's when your narrative goes straight out the window.

Shaka Zulu with Brad Pitt as Shaka. That'll go over well, won't it?
Asians replaceing black people from their African culture, let's go👏
I might actually watch that one, since it's not about 'white man bad!'
😂 😂 😂 😂
Diversity in all it's forms, except diversity of thought.
Diversity in what the sexual orientation and skin color of the professional managerial class people - who all have the same kind of parents, go to all the same kinds of excellent schools, go to the same kinds of colleges, get the same types of degrees, and live the same exact damn lives in urban centers - that is the only kind of diversity they care about. Ironically, the only thing about the Marxism they believe in is how ideology works, that is the process of the rulers always trying to dictate culture and thinking via useful middle class tools...
Or White men.
Can’t believe it’s taken this long for entertainment to become about entertainment again
Don't be so sure. The people who started this crap are still around and may just become more subtle like entertainment from 2000 til 2012.
They're taking orders from....the higher ups 😬. If you've ever played Stellaris you'll recognize what they're doing. Take control of the entertainment in an attempt to mold society to get to the outcome you want. What lifestyles are being prodiminately pushed nowadays? Lifestyles that ensure people won't have children. Interesting... why? Well the global elites have been trying to tackle the "overpopulation" problem for decades. Instead of outright wiping 90% of the population, they can encourage lifestyles that will ensure this will happen by itself. There's more that they're doing but, that's it in a nutshell.
we still got journalist and game industry to clean up.
@@carsonmiller3323 Remember Kathleen Kennedy says she wanted to retire on a "win" blockbuster. She should have quit after the last Spider Man.
Only for legit artists and those who want to make money. Disney issues stocks so becomes a hobby project for self congratulating corporates who happen to hate Walt the man Disney.
As a creator; if you write an entertaining story, pilot, film or song, and people absorb that media and go "It was great, but where is the inclusivity or diversity?" Your immediate response should be to disregard whatever 'critique' they give you. If that's the only problem your creation has, you're good. I promise you, you're good.
@@SomeDudesPlay Mads Mikkelsen experienced it 1st hand.
They don't care about the message... they get money from blackrock to put the message in everything.. disney is the false villian.. blackrock is the real villian...
That person from Disney says - quite plainly - that if a show isn't "diverse" then it's "feeding to an all-white cast".
Excuse me, what about all black? Or all Asian? Neither of them are "diverse". Black Panther was not "diverse".
Does he know the MEANING of the word "diverse" ? I can well believe that he doesn't.
These people use words not the same way as you an me do. Their diverse doesn't mean the same as when we use diverse. In their lingo diverse means non-white, it's double speak to hide their own racism. It is why it is impossible to talk to these people. Look into James Lindsay latest talks and book if you want to understand more on this topic.
@@teqfreak Thank you.
So, every journalist in every interview should ask them to define the words they are using.
@@DavidByrden1 Thank you too! Asking them to define the words would be a very good idea. Sadly it rarely happends. Very often with mainstream channels the journalists are part of the in-group as well and already radicalised, which stops their critical thinking. And when more skeptical journalists do it, it often leads to rage or a word salad (ask them to define gender, a man, a woman, diversity, equity, inclusion) from the person questioned.
All those words and many more have a specific meaning within the dogma that is different from what common people use.
In that regard this whole “critical theory” / “identity politics” dogma has a lot in common with religious fundamentalism. And you’ll get the same reactions as with religious fundamentalism (unlike with moderates).
Since it is new we should spread awareness of this. I think most normal/ neutral people will disagree with the ideas these people propose. But since the double and different meaning of the words they use (which all sound nice) people tend to go along. Most people are nice and empathic and like to help and please their fellow humans, which is exactly what this exploits.
Everything is designed to exclude the majority in a certain spectrum. Black Lives Matter suggests everybody else doesn’t. LGBTQ+ is an abbreviation to exclude straight people. BIPOC, in the USA means everybody except white people. In Europe BIPOC it isn’t used of course since Europeans are the I (indigenous) in Europe.
James Lindsay makes a convincing case that “critical theory/ identity politics” is communism for the west. I really recommend it, he explains it very eloquently. He has a speech for the EU parliament, a bit under half an hour. It summarizes a lot.
If it has only one minority in it, then it's not diverse. Shows like From are diverse because the MC is a black sheriff in a small town, and his deputy is an Asian dude in his mid-20s. The rest of the cast is white. The baddies are literal monsters that are disguised as humans.
Unless disney fires these woke clowns and offers up a proper apology I will never pay for another product. And I know that many others feel this way. They have completely and utterly betrayed us. And deserve to go broke.
Where was the fatigue when dead pool 3 came out? That simple fact alone destroys the whole "super hero fatigue" argument.
And no way home
Light year was terrible all around. They made Buzz the villain. He was Zerg. The kiss wouldn’t have mattered as much if the story was good.
I don't think the 'kiss' had anything to do with the bad writing. I watched the whole thing and can't remember much of it... just he beginning... and the kiss had nothing to do with it... the writing did.
@@DaveBjornRappOh yes it is a sign of bad writing. That's what they wanted, despite the common sense people who wanted to keep things sane told them. They disobeyed, just to push an unwanted "in your face" agenda, while making Buzz Lightyear the villain at the end (the Zerg face reveal). It's bad all the way around, and the stuff that happened while in production and post-production between those LGBT+ activists/ "allies" and the ones who wanted to keep the movie alright and not agenda driven is to blame. Not the ones who criticize based on the information given.
@DaveBjornRapp Oh, but it does. They used the kiss as a scapegoat.
Amazon pulled a few years back "The Expanse" and it was full of "diversity" but wasn't woke or forced and the plot was very good cause it was well written!
There's nothing wrong with diversity in films and TV shows. But the most important thing is entertainment over political messaging.
Diversity can be used
But cannot be the basis
The thing is we don't have diversity, we have tokenism
I've said before if you want diversity, diversify the folklore. Instead of taking a European fairy tale and race swap characters, for example use African mythology and cast black characters. I mean Moana was cultural, no one complained. Princess and the Frog, Encanto, and Raya. They just need to give as much respect to the live action versions as they have to the animated ones.
@@4lackofbetter a good example is gaz of thrones , it was diverse, and all races weren't homogeneously mixed all the time. You could identify where characters came from by how they looked or their accents
@@Raven3557 Yeah, but that isn't Disney. I wasn't much of a fan but I can see what you mean. My roommate was a fan so I saw more of it than I intended.
Do take note how when Drinker is asked about "woke" agenda he doesn't take the obvious slam dunk but rather brings up much more complex issue than just "woke = bad." Unlike what the...uh... certain part of the public, let's call them, tries to smear him as? I've seen and heard people just box him as another right wing commentator. This man is so passionate about cinematography as a form of art it's mindblowing.
It's rather amazing how much of an impact Disney has had making these movies to warp people perceptions in the subject of "representation" and how much they have now, when very little is needed to remind them and SHOW them that it's always been there. I'll never forget a moment I had working in a theater when the 1st Black Panther debuted. I was tearing tickets for people coming in (WE SOLD OUT), and a dude walked up, wearing this all black with gold trim ensemble with a gold chain necklace around his neck. He told me "Man, it feels awesome to finally have a black super hero in a comic book movie, ya know!?"
I didn't even bat an eye and I just said "Blade."
"What?"
"BLADE? The Day Walker??? Bad ass vampire hunter!? He had a whole trilogy of movies! Including BEING a Marvel Super Hero for decades?"
"........oh."
Damn. I know it's true but I feel bad for the guy cuz he was all dressed up and excited but still excited for the wrong reasons
As long as Bob Iger, Kathleen Kennedy, and Kevin Feige are at Disney they will never get my money.
There was diversity in The Wire, and nobody complained about how crap the writing was and promoted the show purely as a show with about and solely concerned with how diverse it was without referring to the show, what its about or why you should watch it except to show off your rainbow flag credentials.
I think that's because people will be called rascist or homophobic.
The wire was crap?? Yeah your opinion does not reflect the masses...great show
@@irijah1 I think he's saying the opposite and worded it differently.
Yeah , the wire was huge
@@johnmchugh8049Here! Here!
The problem is what they stated... they think DEI is a substitute for good writing.
They would rather hire a diverse cast and give them a bad script... rather than make a good script and then give it to a diverse cast.
It sounds crazy when spoken out loud, but the Disney defender said that they needed more DEI and the poor quality in writing wasn't the issue.
Which ironically sounds more racist as it claims that diverse people shouldn't be given good scripts.
They think DEI is a character description and a plot.
I like how "fatigue" has been the excuse for like, what, 4 years now? Uh, I guess that asks first, "how long are people supposed to BE fatigued for" and "if they're still so fatigued, why are you making these movies still?"
No, it is not, and it never WAS "fatigue". If there was such fatigue then Deadpool and Wolverine would not be the MASSIVE success that it was.
If it was fatigue, Deadpool and Spiderman wouldn't have made anywhere near as much money as they did.
And I don't even think the new deadpool movie was that good. It was basically nothing but a string of "hey, remember this character? Weren't they cool?" with a couple good wolverine character moments sprinkled in.
But that movie still made more than any other marvel project in years because it wasn't the same woke bullshit they've been shitting down the pipeline nonstop.
I don't think it deserved as much as it made, but I understand why it did. People are so starved for something that isn't absolute dogshit that they'll settle for a bare minimum of mediocrity.
If you’re gonna bring up the black panther sequel, you gotta factor in Chadwick Boseman not being in it, a huge loss in life but of course for the Black Panther franchise
and the best part. they cut the kiss out in other countries. hypocrits
they did that since Steven Universe as well. They cut a lot and it shows because I (someone who watched the show) don't know that there's several things cut out from my TV channel and talk about it, it trigger some people from the states. I guess they don't know about the censored stuff overseas lol.
That actually led me to finding out how effed up the w oke people are.
I love that one.
Diversity And Inclusion but only available in certain countries.
Not a war, we are just done spending money on poor products and preachy political activism in our entertainment.
They literally said the new Agatha show was the gayest marvel project yet. Theyre not hiding it, how can anyone deny it?
Now to remove all the Woke/DEI criteria out of the movie award shows. Emmys, Academy Awards, Oscars, etc. It has nothing to do with a good movie or acting. It's just pushing an agenda.
I stopped watching awards a few years ago
@@Stetsonhatmanonly liberal white boomer females care.
Let the awards keep their check boxes, it will let you know what not to watch :-)
Both of them should be hired by Disney to run the whole damn company. Both have more integrity and work ethic in their pinky fingers than all of Disney's staff baha
People like the DEI guy are running Disney. They might not recover from this.
Wow, I am at 1:22 and have already seen "Disney's" representative have a "Case for Cancel Culture" book on his shelf turned TOWARDS the camera, pretty obvious lol.
That guy shows exactly what their problem is. Eye rolling and unable to listen to customer complaints.. they know better.
Just like in video games, these companies need to stop hiring people that hate (or don't even know about or care) about the source material. People who are into particular works of fiction don't really appreciate when someone with no knowledge or interest in those works of fiction come in a re-write and butcher the stories.
Also keep in mind that most Disney films are SPECIFICALLY marketed to children. So having divisive political messaging comes across at attempts of indoctrinating innocent kids to bend to their ideas, which parents hate. And hyper sexuality and the promotion of sexual topics feels not only indoctrinating but also inappropriate and obscene. Parents don’t want to subject their children to this kind of nonsense, even less than they want to be subjected to it themselves.
I've started watching physical movies almost exclusively. I'm so tired of paying hand over fist for the crap on streaming services when the best movies were made 10+ years ago.
Make physical media great again, and bring physical media back.
Same here and when we want to being great movies to our child, it's always old school movies.
It's the bait and switch that passes us off the most!
The problem is that Disney went "woke". Period. And the fanbase isn't "woke" and doesn't want to be.
Disney is never going to learn Nyrion. They’re just going to reign in the misandrist messaging but they'll always be anti-male at their core. Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic aren’t helping either, they still can’t say who's really doing this and why
"People want to see diverse films" - I can't wait for the Shaka Zulu remake starring Chris Evans.
I want diverse characters not races or genders.
The only reason that Deadpool and Wolverine came out as "unwoke" as it is... is because Ryan fought Disney like a demon to prevent the Woke changes. This is NOT to the credit of Disney. It is to the credit of a very strong Ryan, who they could not just put down like they did Gina.
I love how Hollywood tells us the fan base tells us what we want to see. If we stop watching this crap they will go broke
I will not go to a Disney movie ever again
When they turned Captain America, Tinkerbell and ariel black it was the final straw I got rid of everything Disney and marvel from my collection and glad I did because they are now worthless to collectors. When the force woke garbage came out, I got rid of all my star was stuff as well and for the same reasons. They abandoned the fans and took a woke stance to discuss everyone they hate that being the fans that spent probably over a trillion dollars to make them what they were and now they are realizing that it was a mistake and not firing enough woke people rather they fired all the heterosexual white males that made the stories good.
I couldn't''t agree more, not because I'm against the whole LGBTQ+ thing, but rather because the writing took a huge hit when the story was 2nd to the agenda. England produces many movies and TV shows with LGBTQ+ people in them, but they're well written stories - not some checkbox ticking spreadsheet.
you know your company is in trouble if you need to correct your producers with the memo "make the character as less gay as possible"...
This Ernest Owens is all that we hate in movie producers nowadays - ignorent, not self-reflecting, dumb, woke.
`Black Panther DOESN'T HAVE DIVERSITY. it's an all black film practically but we still loved it. NOT BECAUSE OF DIVERSITY but because of the story.
Black Panther was awful and laughable.
2 things. 1) many of the activists probably dismissed this debate due to the bias shown by the man leading the debate as set up to skew the story (it didnt lets be honest but lack of "impartiallity" does hurt it). 2) black panther obviously succeeded because it was good, the "diversity" was literally just them being generally accurate to the place they set the movie in, like featuring brown bears in north america, but polar bears in anartica, instead of "diversifying" bears by putting a movie set in WA state featuring an an all polar bear cast
Modern Disney is dead to me and to millions of others as well. We are tired of the pathetic grooming of our youth and just the plain awful writing. I'll stick with the classics. I'd rather watch 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) than ANY of the latest garbage from Disney.
No they wont learn until they run out of money. Not until they hit rock bottom choking on their own vomit in the gutter like any junkie.
The problem with Disney is that they thought that we would all just smile and eat the plate of shit they left out. The truth is we all left their space and their box office was nuked.
Still we ignore the real problem, ESG, Black Rock, Vanguard and all the racketeering investment shenanigans that is driving this. Iger would be out and Disney would have turned the corner if not for these investment companies voting other peoples shares against the shareholders better interest.
Seeing the Drinker without his shades is so unnerving
How wild is it that piers morgan of all people is a reputable news anchor/talk show host, if you told me that 20 years ago I would have laughed
"Activists" on either side of the spectrum just CAN"T make anything good.
What Disney and all these other companies don’t seem to understand is that the biggest issue is poor story telling. You can have a “diverse” cast or a strong female lead and still make great movie. And we have tons of examples like Alien, Black Panther, and the original Star Wars trilogy just to name a few. But instead of having a good story first they only care about checking the boxes of DEI. And yes a lot of people don’t want to see “the message” but if it’s a great movie people will still go see it even if it has “the message”.
These people are gonna believe whatever they want and will defend it to the death even in the face of facts and reality. Stop arguing with them or trying to reason just let them stand and fail on their own it's their money.
It would be great if drinker at the end of tv panels said “go away now”
That Disney guy really tried to imply racism……
If Disney has started cleaning “house of mouse 🐭“ of activists …… we won’t see change of this until a few years down the track when new Disney movies / animated movies are released. I hope this is true and Lucasfilms Star Wars etc is cleaned out too 💪😇🥳👍
Even under Walt, Disney made very little original content. Since his passing, they buy the companies who come up with originals and run those stories into the ground.
In 'Inside Out';
What gender are the Mother's Emotions? All Female.
What gender are the Father's Emotions? All Male.
What gender are the Daughter's Emotions? LGBT Propaganda for Children.
Well I woupd argure that since Riley is not gay in inside out 2 that might have been unintentainal I veiw it as anima and animus as she is still developing into straight white girl
I think….disney marvel released “Agatha” which I am not watching cuz it’s just another lesbian coven story from the same people who created the acolyte. As a matter of fact, the only content I’ve taken part of in 2024 from the house of mouse is Deadpool and Wolverine. Pretty sure that’s all I can take.
Black lad was very condescending. He is everything I loathe about these DEI characters: zero substance, all arrogance.
I love that the shill would blame anything _except_ quality. Typical entertainment corpo.
I use the critical drinker as a great way to filter all the crappy movies pushed on us! Long live the drinker!
I am a nail house with my morals. I shall not kneel to 'The Message'.
They’re putting way too much emphasis on the “woke” and almost completely missing the fact that these last few movies have just been complete shit
That DEI disney guy is full of crap and blaming others.
Disney is channeling their inner Genral Melchett (from Blackadder), "General Melchett : If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through. "
Holy cow! That's the first time I've heard Drinker doing an analysis of the entertainment industry while sober! He's just as brilliant while sober as he is drunk.
It's hilarious that a commercial for Ncuti Gatwa's Dr. Who popped up during this video.
I gotta say at the end where you say they are finally listening to channels like the critical drinker and nerdrotic, AND MINE that was funny. Good video
When your opponent proudly displays a book titled "the case for cancel culture" you've already won.
When they can create money out of thin air, its no longer about the money but the great reset.
I'm not being influenced by Critical Drinker or Nerdrotic, I just agree with them and hate the woke crap.
Disney isn’t ignoring DEI-they're one of its main champions! They prioritize ideology over fans, and their own management admits it in meetings that have been recorded and shared online. Disney isn't clueless; they've been ideologically captured. And to the Disney supporter: don’t start with "There’s been a lot of misinformation." That only reveals you're also ideologically captured. These phrases are exactly what the woke use. No self-reflection.
Honestly, this may sound odd, but one of the biggest things which has killed Disney, the movie industry, etc. is that they have been willing to *UNDERVALUE* Digital content. You can watch all the movies you want with a 15$ subscription. That has totally GUTTED the post-box office money trail of the movie industry. Prior to the rise of digital, most movies - even really good movies - only broke even or made modest gains. It was the post-theatre sales that lead to profitability. I don't know how they fix that now. Also, movie timetables have accelerated too much. Scripts and screenplays aren't in a finished state, VFX are being ordered last minute at emergency $$ rates. Reshoots and re-doing special effects have become common place.
What is wrong with an entirely white cast? If black panther had a full black cast why is a full white cast wrong?
Amazon should see what is happening with Disney and take notes before they go further down the same road as Disney.
99% of Fans vs 1% of others, isn't a Civil War
Fans have given up caring about Star Wars or Marvel, they are waiting for a good movie, like Deadpool and Wolverine
congrats to Drinker, Nerdrotic and that lady.thumbs up
When you are working in the arts, you don't work to get financially rich, you work to enrich yourself as a human being. This is something corporations are insensitive to. Art and corporations mix as well together as oil and water.
The fact drinker and nerdrotic are becoming family names tells you everything you need to know.
Me: “Mirror Mirror🪞 on the wall , I would like to experience a classic Disney film without worrying about Palestine 🇵🇸 or Israel 🇮🇱 or any political or racial or gender divisive issue. I just want to be entertained & maybe relive some childhood joy. PERIOD. FULL STOP 🛑!”
Mirror: “Sorry, the Disney elevator 🛗 doesn’t stop on that floor anymore”
Me: “Wierd, Wierd”. “I guess I have to spend my entertainment dollars somewhere else! When does “Dune Messiah” come to movie 🎥 theatres?”
There is still too much pride in the leadership at Disney so I expect to still see "the message" and them pushing their woke agenda until they crash so hard, the fans and stock holders will force a change in the woke leadership. As Drinker and Nerdrotic continue to say, it is not that there are diverse characters, the problem is changing the characters that have been popular for decades to a very divers fandom, and very poor story telling and changing everything that created fans in the first place. Creating new and original characters that are different can work if the story telling and art are good. Poor writers don't want to hear their stories are garbage. Their pride leads them to believe they can do no wrong.
Bragging about how you won't hire anyone who reads comics is not a good strategy when you're making comic book movies. It's also not a good idea to vilify the fanbase.
Dear Nerdrotic: I play guitar (since the sixties) and sing. Let's jam! I'm in L.A. - anything you like in format. I also play bass.
the gay kiss in Lightyear was not the reason why that movie flop. It was boring as fuck. It has the same quality as those bad straight to video disney sequel from the 90's but for some reason it was given a huge budget. And I guess they tried to score diversity points with the gay kiss but it clearly didn't work. We should stop bringing it up because it was non consequential
They used to be a great company, before they thought they knew better
