As Thai people , it too sad to grow up enough to see decline of western media. I grown up from watching many amazing Western media like cartoonnetwork , Disney animation, Hollywood movies . Back to the future, mib, doctor who , dc comic, marvel universe, etc i love all of it. I don't want any stupid representation to my race. They never truly understand us anyway, what they done just used asian stereotypes as writing material and wish us will definitely love it. I watch western media because I love what you are and want to learn from your culture.
This is a great take, and as a western person, I've really enjoyed Thai horror movies lately, there are a few good older ones. What Holywood seems to not understand is that every country has their own film industry, and they represent nearly nothing BUT that people. If you go to India, you will see 90% Indian people in their movies, Thailand, 90% Thai, Japan, 90% Japanese, China, 90% Chinese, Kenya, 90% Kenyans. It's okay when you have a great character lined up! Look at Blade, every 90s kid loves Blade, we love Morpheus, Whoopi Goldberg was huge in sister act in my country, we have famous Asian actors of old like Bruce Lee, Sony Chiba, Jet Lee, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Fan Bingbing, everyone was "represented" and their characters happened organically. What we DON'T want is Black Superman, or Spanish Blade or Female Thor or whatever other stupid thing they come up with.
Add to that that western media often follow the logic that whites, black, asians, latina etc are homogenous groups. By their logic if a movie is based on chinese culture then all asians should feel represented. Or they will make something based only on Mexico and claim that it's for all Latina. While blacks should feel represented by black americans. Then eastern europeans/balkas/baltics should not ask for any representation because there are... French/British/Irish/Scandinavian based movies or games. Like sorry, but ppl might belong to the same race, but also belong to more or less different cultures with different histories, experiences and friendly/hostile relationship.
a few of new gen has already been infected with political virus tbh , i keep hearing my friend praising black ariel for it representation the whole time while it is in theater and they wont shut up abou it
Obviously the reason the audience that in the past made Buffy, Wonder Woman, Tomb Raider, Aliens, Terminator, and literally dozens of Pixar and Disney “Princess” movies successful hates the new Disney movies is because they dislike women????! 🤔🤷♂️
I loved Sarah Connor in Terminator 1 and 2; I liked the female Terminator in Terminator 3 the collectors set; I liked Wonder Woman in 2017 Wonder Woman as well as Justice League Gods and Monsters, and I liked Bayonetta in the anime film of Bayonetta, so yeah clearly it isn't the audience members faults on why Hollywood films are massive flops@@EyeOfMagnus4E201.

my favorite joke about a Disney Exec goes something like this, where they say, "You, talented writer, I saw on your social media that you hate blacks and women." and the writer says, "No, all I said was that the fans are right to be upset; the movies coming out currently are real crap." but the Exec says, "I don't care for your lies, get out, you're done, take your shit and leave, you're not welcome here anymore." and as the writer is leaving with their box, the Exec yells, "I hope your next job is horrible, where you're mistreated, underpaid, ignored, underappreciated, and unfairly despised for your input." and the writer says, "A minute ago, you said you never want to see me again, NOW you want me to _stay??"_
No, I'm tired of being blamed for the failures of movies that quite literally do not appeal to me and then also equally insult me, not just the movie itself. But the very people who create. It's very very simple they're just too unintelligent to comprehend this very simple fact. If they were capable of understanding this we would have never had the issues that we have been having for the last seven years
Make no mistake, it has nothing to do with lack of intelligence, they know EXACTLY what they're doing. This is all deliberate. "Here at Blackrock, we are forcing behaviors" - their CEO
Trying to “retrain” an audience into specific ideologies is the attempt being made. It’s not ignorance, it’s just incredible levels of hubris on display to think they can or that they should. They envision themselves as amazing social engineers, while actually being glorified clowns.
7:30 “I saw Will Smith as a man first foremost.” Martin Luther King Jr once said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation *where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.* That’s what makes these DEI diversity casting so disgusting. Feels more like extreme tokenism than anything truly genuine.
To me the only way to stop the racism and other crap is to cut it out totally. No, you don't get your revenge and get to be the racist/sexist/whatever-ist now for a decade or two for "balance". Because if we allow that it just creates a lot of new hate and frustration making it even harder to get rid of it later. Just like we see happening now with the Sweet Baby Inc stuff and the failure of the last Marvel arc. I feel it did almost the opposite by doing it in the above manner.
Blaming the audience is just blaming yourself with extra steps. You apparently knew what the "bigoted" audience would like to watch, but then chose not to do it? 4D money strategy
Disney is like your closest friend that you had part of the family that ended up becoming a drug addict that's asking you for money constantly and gets mad when you say no and says you are not their friend anymore and that they hate you
Don’t blame the Audience, Audiences don’t make Bad Movies, Bad Movies are made by People who are Less Creative and have No Idea what makes Marvel Characters and Lore so Special that they don’t Understand the Love, Heart, and Passion of Fans.
Isn't one of the most important rules in business to remember is that your audience makes your business as they I dunno... GIVE YOU MONEY AND PAY FOR YOUR SERVICES/ GOODS?! The fact they are so willing to point the blame finger at the people who gives them a business is astonishing.
@@pricejapanjapan1159 Now who's crying? It's more like Disney is the one who cry. Not the "nono it's yall". You can't cry if you don't watch it, can you?
its actually astonishing...... they decided to change Marvel into strong independent women's world and are now shocked that men dont wanna watch it anymore. they are also shocked that the women who dont idolize "Girl Bosses" dont care >_< it was amazing when both genders had heroes not just 1. edit: i goofed and put DC >_
As said countless times, "Evil can't create they only corrupt and destroy." All of this would be a collective factors of chasing the Chinese market, filling an esg score, and the worse of the worse getting picked for jobs that they're vastly under qualified for.
@@jakelee7083 Like everyone else outside the West, they're also pretty fucking racist. Any movie poster with a black guy on it, has to be edited before release in China, so that the black guy's a tiny speck off to the side.
Blaming your audience for your failure after you said 'this film is NOT for you!' Is a hell of a marketing strategy, reverse reverse psychology i guess?
Problem is, if we don't go then we get rewarded with freak outs from the production team....which is mire entertaining. The guy that made 'bros' schizo posted on Twitter for like three days all because straight people (and apparently alot of gay people as well considering the returns) didn't go to see it.
Bros could be a film about lesbian lovers or a straight couple, and I wouldn't see the film not because of it having LGBT+ couples or not, but because I don't enjoy romantic comedies and romance films@@MWH12085.
@@MWH12085I'm not straight and I get why people didn't go see it that were gay, either. The movie pushes the idea that all gay people are degenerate sex pests. Like...the dude made a movie about why he is such a great guy. It's so lame.
“M3gan” did very well and it was female led. “Fall” did very well too. So did the “Barbie” movie (and that one was very divisive). “No One Will Save You” did very well.
*M3gan* is the first movie in literally more than a decade that I actually liked. Yes, the only (allegedly) straight white man in the movie was a piece of slime (as usual) they didn't shove the "look, look! Strong, independent woman, what don't need no manz!" message down our throats. Also M3gan was extremely likable, even when she was killing people! Lol.
It’s like going to an art competition and didn’t place and instead of taking their criticism they blame the judges for the reason why they didn’t place and not the art
@@Virtualblueart -- M3gan borrows from the genre but it actually enhanced the whole movie. M3gan's self awareness is in reality part of the fun. 😄 And like I said M3gan herself is very likable. ...Even when she's tearing off people's ears, and slashing them with makeshift machetes.
21:00 another one, Zootopia. Judy Hops, the first Bunny cop. Ya know, back when Disney writing staff was actually good. She fails, she learns, she grows. Character Development. Character Growth. Makes Mistakes. Learns from them. Is not perfect and auto good at everything without training. Goes through Months/years of training to be a cop. I still cry during Judy's Betrayal scene with Nick....
I loved Zootopia, even if it was a bit heavy handed with the racist allegory the emotion and heart was there in spades. I absolutely adored the character dynamics and the world building.
I actually hated how they handled it from a worldbuilding perspective. 1. You mean to tell me there are no bunny cops in the town full of bunnies? That’s just stupid. 2. Judy gets into the ZPD through a special legal initiative, which feels like she’s being let in despite not meeting the standard previously set by the department. That seems more like an insult than an accomplishment. 3. With all the different sizes of people in-universe, it makes little sense that there AREN’T any officers Judy’s size already simply because there are suspects that would need to be pursued of that size. The movie addressed none of that. 4. There is no amount of physics that’s going to turn a fight between a rabbit and a rhino into anything other than a farce ending in the rabbit being reduced to a red smear on the ground.
Especially when she overcomes her negative beliefs of predators vs prey proves that Disney DOES KNOW how to write a good main protagonist with flaws. They're just getting uncreative and are unwilling to take any risks.
There is also Mrs Brisby, who is someone we'll never get again with the current waves of writers, who goes through the entire movie being afraid of just about everything (Because it all wants to kill her.), but she goes through it anyways, because unlike the "Strong female protags" of today, Mrs Brisby is actually brave. Not fearless. Brave.
i mean, i'll take that blame with pride. I have no shame about my biases. I openly hate incompetence. I'm proud of my discriminating tastes when it comes to media. I have a bar and i will continue to demand the studio meets it rather than lower myself to accepting whatever garbage they're willing to spit out.
Disney has become way too comfortable with themselves. The reason they thrived in the first place was because they strived to outdo their competitors. Now they simply just “buy” their competition whenever they feel like it. Someone once said *”without criticism or pressure from others, there can be no improvement.”* And that really is true, Disney has become lazy and comfortable with themselves and everyone sees it. They may believe for now that they are invincible, but eventually they will find out they’re not and the cycle will start all over again. This is a season that will eventually pass and believe it or not I want Disney to succeed by making changes.
It's geniune and precise feedback they're recieving. All pros of their craft want that. And that's just us normies, whereas their industry is centered around that feedback. It's only a service and no tangible goods are recieved.
That's the essence of Capitalism, competition breeds innovation, and why monopolies are so dangerous to it. There's a reason that we have laws against them, they just aren't enforced. I understand why people say they hate Capitalism, the problem is that they think THIS is Capitalism, when it clearly isn't. We haven't really had it in years, and to add even more irony they advocate for the thing it essentially is, Socialism with a couple of extra steps. It really doesn't matter whether you have the state running things, or one giant corporation working hand in hand with them to do it, end of the day it amounts to the same result. Corruption and lack of progress.
It's been like a water-torture of sorts, for even the most patient of viewers. Whatever the heck has been going on, it's been a clear regression and there's been all this stealthy language surrounding it, basically asking for some sort of "patience" while they sort this out. Huh? So patience ran out, even for those sympathetic viewers who took that hint
The Marvels wasn't even that bad of a movie. It was just fairly mid. Uninspired, lots of missed opportunities, utterly forgettable villain, etc. It just wasn't worth the $30 to see it in theaters, and that's the bottom line.
@@shadowbeast2276 Exactly, I'd rather spend my time and money on things that enrich my life in some way. Why would I spend either of these important things on something that adds nothing or that flat out makes my life worse?
@@EyeOfMagnus4E201 Unfortunately yeah - I'll say this though. If I ever were an executive, I'd rather listen to what the audience says than the critics. If there was a pattern or trend to be noticed, it's one thing to have charts made, but it's another to listen to regular people speak their minds, since the regular people like us are the ones they supposedly are catering to.
The best part is the people who claim to love the new changes and the "DIVERSITY" in the movies, don't even buy the merchandise themselves! If they did get the merchandise, it was bought for them by their inner media circles but other than that; I don't see them putting up merchandise in their room unless they're trying to convince they are the "REAL FANS".
for me its a dream come true in some weird, grasping-for-straws way. I wish people would boycott these garbage media companies and I'd love for the execs to throw tantrums about how they could only afford 10 golden turds instead of 15 this year and blaming the consumers for it because its hilarious.
This isnt unique to Disney. This is textbook corporate culture. People who do nothing but get busniess degrees straight to management and then continue to work up the corporate ladder. These people have no idea how their ideas and mandates for a busniess affect the downline or workers. And they normally leave the company before the full effects kick in. Ive been at my job for 6 years now, and weve been through 2 C.E.O's and countless managers/supervisors. Every one of them thought they had the best, freshest ideas that would move the company forward. All didnt work, all of them are gone. But in their resumes, theyll tout about all the money they saved they last company they work for. These people live in a bubble and cannot fathom how life is for the rest of us.
I have a decade of management experience, a degree in management and leadership training from the Army. ZERO companies have even given me a shot for any type of management or leadership position. Maybe I should put some bullshit onto my resume instead of not writing out the basics of the job itself. Because saving a business money, increasing their profits... these are kind of the job description..... One of the things I learned before getting my degree. 80% of people lie on their Resume or Application.
Now that is a great point. Businesses are always run by parasites who just jumped into the first company they can make money from, no experience in the actual PRODUCT needed (unlike the people who actually make and know the ins and outs of the damn product). It’s a problem everywhere…
It has nothing to do with corporate culture and everything to do with ideological subversion. Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired. Hegelian dialectic is an interpretive method used to relate specific entities or events to the absolute idea. It is a framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. (Problem, Reaction, Solution) A Controlled Opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries, notably Vladimir Lenin who said, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves." Just to be very clear upfront, a lot of these Liberals in the entertainment industry are being used to promote Marxist ideologies, creating a potential Communism problem. The way they are going about this has caused people to react negatively towards that ideology (wokeness, THE MESSAGE), which will in turn push them to go the intended direction of Conservative ideologies. Problem: Step one of the Four steps for ideological subversion (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985) Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people.* As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism, the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. *Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.* ---Like calling anyone who won't see your movie a "racist, bigot, homophobe, sexist", etc. Or calling riots where businesses were destroyed and people killed "mostly peaceful protests" while people calmly walking through the White House with government workers being called an "insurrection". Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”* Eliminating American exceptionalism, *fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc.* National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values. ---Established IP like Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones, The Little Mermaid, The Lord of the Rings (and so on) are a part of our social, national and (in for millions of people) personal history. We see them being re-written, re-defined and molded to fit Marxist ideologies. And as we all know, it is not accepted by the majority of people. Reaction: We need to remove Liberals from positions of power, authority and influence so we can turn things back to the way they were before all of the politically correct nonsense destroys everything we love. We need a leader, laws and regulations which will "drain the swamp" and save us from all the Liberal policies destroying the US/West. Solution: So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival. William Ralph Inge "Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922) To fight against the atheistic, Liberal Marxist institution people will gravitate towards Religious Conservative Fascism, the most hated rivals of an atheistic Liberal Marxist. What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.
Yep unfortunately probably going to have to vote for the T again only way to have balance in the force hopefully forcing more of them to realize the more they do this the more people will be against them we just want our stories man. And if you don't believe me pretty much everyone involved who do you think they hate the most. That and their pain has become there on the entertainment
I'd argue that no one is obligated to watch anything. Ad blockers have taught us that some people will pay money for that privilege even though some sites will still make you wait the mandatory 5 to 10 seconds with nothing
It's painfully amateur because I remember literally 2 years ago being taught film and media in college and we had to basically make a short film but act like it was a feature as practice and even the college understood the importance of appealing to your intended audience. Marvel however are oddly doing the opposite and saying F you, we know our audience better than they do. I literally had a make a profile of what type of person i would assume to see my film so for example if it's a family film, it would have to make sure the people buying the ticket are parents who have ALOT of spent time working and caring for their kids so you gotta make sure your movie doesn't come across "a waste of time" but also the obvious things like family friendly aspects. And then if my film was a superhero film even my college understood you should try to appeal more to male audiences. Even if women watch it, the few women that watch it are themselves much more use to the Hollywood way of appealing to males but don't care because they enjoy it. You try appeal to them too much, those women who enjoyed the male appealed movies will notice themselves and be turned off coz it comes across pandering not natural. It's just funny because it was 2 years ago when this moderm marketing was going on yet even the left leaning college i was part of even understood the importance of not attacking your audience lmao
I once was working on a safe for work fanfiction or story of my discord friendgroup that took 2 aspects from franchises. I havent worked on it in dorever because i struggled to think of a smooth flow to the story. The way i see it, making a rushed bad movie is very embarassing if it ends up beong hated. It's better not to finish a story than botch horribly to rewpeft the property you're touching. Maybe if disney executives weremt surrounded by yes men they'd take the hint
It is like the old “New Coke” debacle. They decided to change the way they did things. The public said “ no thanks.” But in that case Coke saw the problem and listened to the consumers and changed it all back to what the people wanted. We need more of that.
These entertainment companies forgot they aren't providers of a necessity. They got comfortable with profits during good times that they can't fathom that they're unnecessary. The second they don't provide their basic role, they're forgotten.
I was a single father who raised my Daughters on Disney Princesses. The Goofy movie was the only one I really remember being a Dad and Son as the lead. Now, as a Grandfather of 7 will only watch Bluey on Disney. I trust nothing else under their brand with them. They did it to themselves. And yes, I Love the Despicable Me films.
Best example is OG Mulan vs Live Action Mulan. Animated Mulan was a relatable strong female character who had flaws but learned to work past them by using her strengths. Live action Mulan was an annoying show off that was basically a jedi who strong armed situations and just came out on top because plot armor.
The Closer Look does a fantastic review of the sequel starwars trilogy and one of the biggest reasons he gives for why they did so badly was because they "weren't believable." Not in the sense that they were unrealistic...I mean come on its a futuristic space opera. More so that the viewer "believe" that the events are possible within its universe. The best example I can name is also one of my personal most hated moments in the sequel trilogy...the Holdo Maneuver. She spends the whole movie being a very insufferable character and denying Poe's ideas, essentially pushing him mutiny because her plans were getting people killed. Then she suddenly pulls this "heroic" moment when not a single scene indicated she had strength or fortitude to follow through. Then theres the maneuver itself which opens so many plot holes and contrivances, you could fly the Death Star through those holes.
You hit the nail on the head. The only reason any audience is becoming political is because these companies got exactly what they asked for. And as long as you have people like this executive in Disney and other companies, you are going to have politics and agendas.
if Disney actually wrote female characters in a way similar to Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor...Ya know, actual beloved strong female characters, then 50% of their problems would just go away.
Ya know, captain marvel coulda been the next Uma therman. A badass constantly bwaten down but always pushing through a battle with her sheer determination. I havemt watched anytjing capt marvel related since the movie came out and rewatching the timeline with my mum n sis. After thinking, the first capt marvel wasnt awful, but nick fury really carried it.
Yeah, or like Mulan from the anímate versión of the movie. I don't understand the game Disney is trying to play. In one hand they claim to be all about progressiveness and women and being anthracite and on the one hand they break their backs to pander to the country that hates that the most, the thrives on stealing everyone's IP and may or may not be planning to wipe out everyone from existence.
I hate that every time I watch a show or a movie now and see some characters is "oh, they are just here for the representation". It feel more like they put in characters just to get bonus points. I can't watch anything new anymore, am just watching old classics, animes or some Korean movie/show that has a good score.
To be fair they have been blame us for all their fails after Ghostbusters 2016. From that point on we are all blamed for their failures and God forbid if we support the wrong thing then we REALLY get it. I personally stop watching Disney stuff YEARS ago because I got sick and tired of being called everything under the sun and then some.

11:50 I loved FernGully as a kid as still do as an adult. It’s such an underrated gem with a great message! *They also made pollution “sexy” which took balls I’m ngl* 💀💀
Part of why I was not interested in The Marvels was because I'm so tired of how many Marvel movies keep on releasing, its genuinely hard to keep up so I focus on what I know will be quality (Loki, The Guardians of the Galaxy etc..) and watching movies in theater is very expensive now too Also I do not find the protagonists of the movie very interesting. I did not like Ms.Marvel, I thought it was not a good show. Monica Rambeau was such a little part of Wandavision I had a hard time to attach to her, also it was a while ago already. And like you said Captain Marvel's portrayal was very much unlikeable. It was a recipe for disaster but execs expect to be able to shove anything marvel down the throat of audiences and make a billion dollars each time.
There's a bizarre "this is what's for dinner and nothing else, so eat" vibe with all this. As to why that is, that's debatable, but I wish we could have some adult conversations about irrefutable behaviors that just arent consumer-friendly. This just aint it
One of their favorite catchphrases is the calling fans incels. The ironic part is the wording they use to attack fans who don't like their products is the exact same type of wording in cells would use to attack the person that rejected them. I cannot be the only one noticing this and I know for a fact they themselves don't realize it
Or your parents, in the cases of The Iron Giant, The Road to El Dorado, Treasure Planet, or The Powerpuff Girls Movie Assuming you were a kid in the late 90s or early 2000s
The thing is, Hollywood IS conforming to regressive gender stereotypes, harmful ones that enforced unnecessary aggression or far too much submission and deference, the difference is they just flipped which gender was attached to which stereotype. That’s not progress. What I can relate to is characters who have to overcome something difficult, and the one thing both of those stereotypes have in common is neither do-the women in film just can immediately do everything and the men never do anything themselves. So basically, there’s no actual story as long as these are the pool of characters.
“Let’s tank the movie on purpose so that people will not want to invest in strong female characters.” As crazy as it sounds, it actually makes the most sense 🤔
@@emblemblade9245 because we have a bunch of weak willed type 1s that yield to the exploits of type 2s and type 3s and it will be funny to watch them defend a country
No, it's not the answer that makes most sense, it's the safe answer that lets you sidestep contemplating how deep the cult like ideology commonly referred to as 'woke' has dug its claws into almost every cultural, corporate and governmental institution with adherents who entirely believe in their crazy sounding ideas.
That contrast to Clark Kent and Carrol Danvers is so vast between those scenes it makes Danvers come off as an antagonist to an actual protagonist. Restraint goes a long way to portraying a strong character in a relatable way, not someone who has to prove a point. Great choice to include those, Alteori.
Barbie - The film has grossed $1.446 billion globally. ( 66.2% of audience is female) The Marvels - The film has grossed $206.1 globally. (65% of audience is male) Perhaps they should think about why woman in general didn't go to see The Marvels.
Maybe just maybe because there are more males into comic books and the reason marvel got so popular with both is because almost all of males wouldn't shut up about how good the movies were, so when they try to push the mentality "this movie is not for you white male" not only they lost the base customer but word of mouth publicity
Well Barbie for all its flaws was based on something I played with as a kid. I have no personal connection to Captain Marvel and the Captain Marvel movie did nothing to instill in me an attachment to the character of any kind. Ergo when I heard the sequel was coming I had no reason to see it. It’s likely that if I had a pre-existing attachment to the franchise I would have shown up for it like I did for Barbie if only out of morbid curiosity. But what’s the point of watching something that in all likelihood is going to be bad without the masochism of nostalgia or sunk cost fallacy convincing me to hurt myself with it?
They also don’t seem to understand that insulting someone, makes them want to support you less. The only person I’m going to pay for hurting me, is my dentist. I’m not subjecting myself to an agonizing experience, much less spend money to do it, unless I physically have to.
Disney started shipping in cheaper labor in the form of indentured servitude and hiring people based off check boxes than ability. They chased the lowest and cheapest product while pocketing most of budget. They are shocked the name of the brand isn't covering. The entire DEI to them was to hire cheaper labor to earn more profit via the name and brand of product
Does anybody remember how poorly marketed Wonder Woman was when the first movie came out? it had one trailer, and showed up so infrequently that people who cared to keep an eye on it had to actively track the release date. The only difference between Wonder Woman and Madame Web was that Wonder Woman had a fanbase before a movie was made for her.
This is just become common place for modern Hollywood in general for me. Personally, I’ve just grown completely apathetic towards any western projects, movies or TV shows in general that includes comics I just don’t bother with them anymore my main focus for entertainment for video games, comics, and movies and TV shows are out in Japan, and I really have no reason to come back to the west for any entertainment other than a handful of movies that are still good but those are quickly draining.
The entertainment industry will improve once they come to the realization that the audience is not legally obligated to consume their product, or if they spend a few months going hungry.
Do Disney really think that producing the same kinds of movies over and over is going to have any effect on an audience that they already assume hates everything they do? How are they going to 'change' the audience? It's like watching a child arguing... "NO! I'm not wrong, you're wrong! And I won't stop bloody swearing."
They need some deprogramming from the DEI/Intersectional cult. Their behavior is a toned-down version of the strawmanning they give to those in their own cult who begin to question the dogma.
As much as I like Alteori, I don't think I can watch these videos in public. Especially around the 14:00 minute mark. Like seriously, what even is 14:21?
Not only do they blame the people who dislike their content but then they get promoted to do the next flop buster. I wish I could work in a place where I could constantly fail and get promoted and payed more.
For pointing this out and laying down all the right points that ,many of us are saying, I am subscribing to you! You my friend are a smart and sensible individual! Simply marvelous points you made right here!
The African Queen (1950) is a classic example of the “girl boss” concept done extremely EXTREMELY well! I think it was the film that paved the way for other well written likable female characters like Leia, Ripley, etc. shocking the difference between it and the horrible garbage today. But that’s another time, long before selfish no-talent mental toddlers had 200 million dollar tantrums and splooged their hate all over the screen.
This is a basic thought exercise: why would I give my money to a company that actively and consistently calls me hateful? I haven’t watched a disney movie in years and the last one I saw in theaters is the rise of Skywalker(I just had to see how that train wreck of a trilogy would end). Disney can burn for all I care. I’ll never spend another dollar on their crap.
Reminds me of BLM demanding money from white people while at the same time screaming 'Stay out of our way" and getting mad at them for not helping them.
Thank you for pointing out that most audiences aren't aware of what's in the films. They see the trailers, think about the recent track record of the last (sometimes few) film(s) in the series or from the studio they saw, then look in their WALLET and make a choice from there.
It's very nice to hear a more moderate perspective that also dislikes Hollywood bs. I dislike a lot of the messaging that Hollywood touts. I enjoy channels like the Critical Drinker and Nerderotic, and I don't understand the assertion that disagreeing with a message equates to hating the people/group that the message is about.
The reason i don't like famous environments are that most of them are hypocrites. Saying that the oceans are rising, but buying ocean front properties, saying we should all walk or bike to work, but taking their own private jets everywhere they go, etc.
From the mindset of that anonymous Disney exec, they seem to be under the impression that "making a movie better" means conforming to progressive stereotypes or putting women front and center in the narrative. People could care less about stereotypes or narratives. We just want good stories. Anything more or less than that ruins the experience.
I actually laughed so hard when you showed that article with the exec saying "Make better movies" = "Make movies with regressive gender roles" like BRO YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS HAHAHA
Hello Alteori. Tell it like it is, Alteori, tell it like it is. Old Disney, I miss and watch but the new Disney, no thank you. Shows and movies from 90s and early 2000s Disney were my childhood, great series, reality shows and original movies, that's the Disney I grew up and miss. Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
It's absolutely true that the audience decides the success of a movie. When you market to an audience that isn't there however, the movie is doomed from the start.
Hey, I do want movies with what the author says are "regressive stereotypes." But they still have to be good movies or I won't like them and I won't want to watch movies made by such a studio.
I've said this before on other videos, but I'll say it again. They're entirely right to blame the fans on the failure of their movies. The success of any product depends on its fans... the problem here is they won't get the message that the ONLY solution is to stop being activists and start making what customers want.
As Thai people , it too sad to grow up enough to see decline of western media. I grown up from watching many amazing Western media like cartoonnetwork , Disney animation, Hollywood movies . Back to the future, mib, doctor who , dc comic, marvel universe, etc i love all of it.
I don't want any stupid representation to my race. They never truly understand us anyway, what they done just used asian stereotypes as writing material and wish us will definitely love it.
I watch western media because I love what you are and want to learn from your culture.
This is a great take, and as a western person, I've really enjoyed Thai horror movies lately, there are a few good older ones. What Holywood seems to not understand is that every country has their own film industry, and they represent nearly nothing BUT that people.
If you go to India, you will see 90% Indian people in their movies, Thailand, 90% Thai, Japan, 90% Japanese, China, 90% Chinese, Kenya, 90% Kenyans.
It's okay when you have a great character lined up! Look at Blade, every 90s kid loves Blade, we love Morpheus, Whoopi Goldberg was huge in sister act in my country, we have famous Asian actors of old like Bruce Lee, Sony Chiba, Jet Lee, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Fan Bingbing, everyone was "represented" and their characters happened organically.
What we DON'T want is Black Superman, or Spanish Blade or Female Thor or whatever other stupid thing they come up with.
@@YattayattaAs a Spanish guy, I can confirm I don't want an Spanish Blade either.
lefties are racist in reality so no surprise here.
Add to that that western media often follow the logic that whites, black, asians, latina etc are homogenous groups. By their logic if a movie is based on chinese culture then all asians should feel represented. Or they will make something based only on Mexico and claim that it's for all Latina. While blacks should feel represented by black americans. Then eastern europeans/balkas/baltics should not ask for any representation because there are... French/British/Irish/Scandinavian based movies or games. Like sorry, but ppl might belong to the same race, but also belong to more or less different cultures with different histories, experiences and friendly/hostile relationship.
a few of new gen has already been infected with political virus tbh , i keep hearing my friend praising black ariel for it representation the whole time while it is in theater and they wont shut up abou it

my favorite joke about a Disney Exec goes something like this, where they say, "You, talented writer, I saw on your social media that you hate blacks and women." and the writer says, "No, all I said was that the fans are right to be upset; the movies coming out currently are real crap." but the Exec says, "I don't care for your lies, get out, you're done, take your shit and leave, you're not welcome here anymore." and as the writer is leaving with their box, the Exec yells, "I hope your next job is horrible, where you're mistreated, underpaid, ignored, underappreciated, and unfairly despised for your input." and the writer says, "A minute ago, you said you never want to see me again, NOW you want me to _stay??"_
Accurate

Good insight
@murasaika2its not a joke776
That was a good one.
No, I'm tired of being blamed for the failures of movies that quite literally do not appeal to me and then also equally insult me, not just the movie itself. But the very people who create. It's very very simple they're just too unintelligent to comprehend this very simple fact. If they were capable of understanding this we would have never had the issues that we have been having for the last seven years
Make no mistake, it has nothing to do with lack of intelligence, they know EXACTLY what they're doing. This is all deliberate. "Here at Blackrock, we are forcing behaviors" - their CEO
Trying to “retrain” an audience into specific ideologies is the attempt being made.
It’s not ignorance, it’s just incredible levels of hubris on display to think they can or that they should.
They envision themselves as amazing social engineers, while actually being glorified clowns.
They're intentionally wasting money to destroy the western world from inside out.
7:30 “I saw Will Smith as a man first foremost.”
Martin Luther King Jr once said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation *where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.*

To me the only way to stop the racism and other crap is to cut it out totally.
No, you don't get your revenge and get to be the racist/sexist/whatever-ist now for a decade or two for "balance".
Because if we allow that it just creates a lot of new hate and frustration making it even harder to get rid of it later.
Just like we see happening now with the Sweet Baby Inc stuff and the failure of the last Marvel arc.
I feel it did almost the opposite by doing it in the above manner.
Yeah. That's what it is
So progressive it’s regressive.
Calling us racist for not watching crappy Hollywood movies. A badge of honor for us who just want a good movie to watch without being lectured too.
Blaming the audience is just blaming yourself with extra steps.

“M3gan” did very well and it was female led. “Fall” did very well too. So did the “Barbie” movie (and that one was very divisive). “No One Will Save You” did very well.
Barbie did well, cause it was almost anti-feminest, which was kinda a good move on their part.
*M3gan* is the first movie in literally more than a decade that I actually liked. Yes, the only (allegedly) straight white man in the movie was a piece of slime (as usual) they didn't shove the "look, look! Strong, independent woman, what don't need no manz!" message down our throats. Also M3gan was extremely likable, even when she was killing people! Lol.

21:00 another one, Zootopia. Judy Hops, the first Bunny cop. Ya know, back when Disney writing staff was actually good. She fails, she learns, she grows. Character Development. Character Growth. Makes Mistakes. Learns from them. Is not perfect and auto good at everything without training. Goes through Months/years of training to be a cop.
I still cry during Judy's Betrayal scene with Nick....
I loved Zootopia, even if it was a bit heavy handed with the racist allegory the emotion and heart was there in spades. I absolutely adored the character dynamics and the world building.
I actually hated how they handled it from a worldbuilding perspective.
1. You mean to tell me there are no bunny cops in the town full of bunnies? That’s just stupid.
2. Judy gets into the ZPD through a special legal initiative, which feels like she’s being let in despite not meeting the standard previously set by the department. That seems more like an insult than an accomplishment.
3. With all the different sizes of people in-universe, it makes little sense that there AREN’T any officers Judy’s size already simply because there are suspects that would need to be pursued of that size. The movie addressed none of that.
4. There is no amount of physics that’s going to turn a fight between a rabbit and a rhino into anything other than a farce ending in the rabbit being reduced to a red smear on the ground.
Especially when she overcomes her negative beliefs of predators vs prey proves that Disney DOES KNOW how to write a good main protagonist with flaws. They're just getting uncreative and are unwilling to take any risks.
There is also Mrs Brisby, who is someone we'll never get again with the current waves of writers, who goes through the entire movie being afraid of just about everything (Because it all wants to kill her.), but she goes through it anyways, because unlike the "Strong female protags" of today, Mrs Brisby is actually brave. Not fearless. Brave.
@@alchemystudiosink1894 I agree. I adore the character Mrs. Brisby so much.
i mean, i'll take that blame with pride. I have no shame about my biases. I openly hate incompetence.
I'm proud of my discriminating tastes when it comes to media. I have a bar and i will continue to demand the studio meets it rather than lower myself to accepting whatever garbage they're willing to spit out.
SPOT ON.
Disney has become way too comfortable with themselves. The reason they thrived in the first place was because they strived to outdo their competitors. Now they simply just “buy” their competition whenever they feel like it. Someone once said *”without criticism or pressure from others, there can be no improvement.”* And that really is true, Disney has become lazy and comfortable with themselves and everyone sees it. They may believe for now that they are invincible, but eventually they will find out they’re not and the cycle will start all over again. This is a season that will eventually pass and believe it or not I want Disney to succeed by making changes.
Pretty spot on
It's geniune and precise feedback they're recieving. All pros of their craft want that. And that's just us normies, whereas their industry is centered around that feedback. It's only a service and no tangible goods are recieved.
Im sure the next pixar film wint have TOO MUCH backlash, but painting Africa as a Cyberpunk Utpoia is kinda Sus
let's be honest, you just want Disney to "succeed" because of their ips, but if their fail those ips can belong to other people
That's the essence of Capitalism, competition breeds innovation, and why monopolies are so dangerous to it. There's a reason that we have laws against them, they just aren't enforced. I understand why people say they hate Capitalism, the problem is that they think THIS is Capitalism, when it clearly isn't. We haven't really had it in years, and to add even more irony they advocate for the thing it essentially is, Socialism with a couple of extra steps. It really doesn't matter whether you have the state running things, or one giant corporation working hand in hand with them to do it, end of the day it amounts to the same result. Corruption and lack of progress.

Huh? So patience ran out, even for those sympathetic viewers who took that hint

This isnt unique to Disney. This is textbook corporate culture. People who do nothing but get busniess degrees straight to management and then continue to work up the corporate ladder. These people have no idea how their ideas and mandates for a busniess affect the downline or workers. And they normally leave the company before the full effects kick in.
Ive been at my job for 6 years now, and weve been through 2 C.E.O's and countless managers/supervisors. Every one of them thought they had the best, freshest ideas that would move the company forward. All didnt work, all of them are gone. But in their resumes, theyll tout about all the money they saved they last company they work for.
These people live in a bubble and cannot fathom how life is for the rest of us.
I have a decade of management experience, a degree in management and leadership training from the Army.
ZERO companies have even given me a shot for any type of management or leadership position.
Maybe I should put some bullshit onto my resume instead of not writing out the basics of the job itself. Because saving a business money, increasing their profits... these are kind of the job description.....
One of the things I learned before getting my degree. 80% of people lie on their Resume or Application.
The only difference being Disney goes directly against what made it easy money before in order to appease anti-capitalists

It has nothing to do with corporate culture and everything to do with ideological subversion.
Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired.
Hegelian dialectic is an interpretive method used to relate specific entities or events to the absolute idea. It is a framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. (Problem, Reaction, Solution)
A Controlled Opposition is a protest movement that is actually being led by government agents. Nearly all governments in history have employed this technique to trick and subdue their adversaries, notably Vladimir Lenin who said, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."
Just to be very clear upfront, a lot of these Liberals in the entertainment industry are being used to promote Marxist ideologies, creating a potential Communism problem. The way they are going about this has caused people to react negatively towards that ideology (wokeness, THE MESSAGE), which will in turn push them to go the intended direction of Conservative ideologies.
Problem:
Step one of the Four steps for ideological subversion (Yuri Bezmenov, 1985)
Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). *During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people.* As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism, the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. *Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.*
---Like calling anyone who won't see your movie a "racist, bigot, homophobe, sexist", etc. Or calling riots where businesses were destroyed and people killed "mostly peaceful protests" while people calmly walking through the White House with government workers being called an "insurrection".
Communism and Religion
Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. *To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.”*
Eliminating American exceptionalism, *fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc.* National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
---Established IP like Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones, The Little Mermaid, The Lord of the Rings (and so on) are a part of our social, national and (in for millions of people) personal history. We see them being re-written, re-defined and molded to fit Marxist ideologies. And as we all know, it is not accepted by the majority of people.
Reaction: We need to remove Liberals from positions of power, authority and influence so we can turn things back to the way they were before all of the politically correct nonsense destroys everything we love. We need a leader, laws and regulations which will "drain the swamp" and save us from all the Liberal policies destroying the US/West.
Solution:
So the pendulum swings, now violently, now slowly; and every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
William Ralph Inge
"Democracy and the Future" The Atlantic Monthly (March 1922)
To fight against the atheistic, Liberal Marxist institution people will gravitate towards Religious Conservative Fascism, the most hated rivals of an atheistic Liberal Marxist.

It's painfully amateur because I remember literally 2 years ago being taught film and media in college and we had to basically make a short film but act like it was a feature as practice and even the college understood the importance of appealing to your intended audience. Marvel however are oddly doing the opposite and saying F you, we know our audience better than they do.
I literally had a make a profile of what type of person i would assume to see my film so for example if it's a family film, it would have to make sure the people buying the ticket are parents who have ALOT of spent time working and caring for their kids so you gotta make sure your movie doesn't come across "a waste of time" but also the obvious things like family friendly aspects. And then if my film was a superhero film even my college understood you should try to appeal more to male audiences. Even if women watch it, the few women that watch it are themselves much more use to the Hollywood way of appealing to males but don't care because they enjoy it. You try appeal to them too much, those women who enjoyed the male appealed movies will notice themselves and be turned off coz it comes across pandering not natural. It's just funny because it was 2 years ago when this moderm marketing was going on yet even the left leaning college i was part of even understood the importance of not attacking your audience lmao

It is like the old “New Coke” debacle. They decided to change the way they did things. The public said “ no thanks.” But in that case Coke saw the problem and listened to the consumers and changed it all back to what the people wanted. We need more of that.
These entertainment companies forgot they aren't providers of a necessity. They got comfortable with profits during good times that they can't fathom that they're unnecessary. The second they don't provide their basic role, they're forgotten.

The best example I can name is also one of my personal most hated moments in the sequel trilogy...the Holdo Maneuver. She spends the whole movie being a very insufferable character and denying Poe's ideas, essentially pushing him mutiny because her plans were getting people killed. Then she suddenly pulls this "heroic" moment when not a single scene indicated she had strength or fortitude to follow through. Then theres the maneuver itself which opens so many plot holes and contrivances, you could fly the Death Star through those holes.
i would not want to waste my hard earned money on their toxic messages and unlikeable characters that just add more stress than entertainment
I'm not spending extra money to be offended, insulted, or bored; I can get that on the internet with the bills I already have to pay.
You know it's bad when people are buying more anime action figures than the Marvel and Disney toys left to dust in clearance stores!
You hit the nail on the head. The only reason any audience is becoming political is because these companies got exactly what they asked for. And as long as you have people like this executive in Disney and other companies, you are going to have politics and agendas.
if Disney actually wrote female characters in a way similar to Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor...Ya know, actual beloved strong female characters, then 50% of their problems would just go away.
What about Anne Lewis from RoboCop?
@@wargamingsupernoobAnd Princess Leah.
She turned the "rescue the princess from the evil wizard" trope on it's head so hard it thrilled and amazed me.
@@Virtualblueart yeah, she was my first guess, but then I started thinking abouþ cult classics.
Ya know, captain marvel coulda been the next Uma therman. A badass constantly bwaten down but always pushing through a battle with her sheer determination.
I havemt watched anytjing capt marvel related since the movie came out and rewatching the timeline with my mum n sis.
After thinking, the first capt marvel wasnt awful, but nick fury really carried it.
Yeah, or like Mulan from the anímate versión of the movie. I don't understand the game Disney is trying to play. In one hand they claim to be all about progressiveness and women and being anthracite and on the one hand they break their backs to pander to the country that hates that the most, the thrives on stealing everyone's IP and may or may not be planning to wipe out everyone from existence.
I hate that every time I watch a show or a movie now and see some characters is "oh, they are just here for the representation". It feel more like they put in characters just to get bonus points.
I can't watch anything new anymore, am just watching old classics, animes or some Korean movie/show that has a good score.
To be fair they have been blame us for all their fails after Ghostbusters 2016. From that point on we are all blamed for their failures and God forbid if we support the wrong thing then we REALLY get it. I personally stop watching Disney stuff YEARS ago because I got sick and tired of being called everything under the sun and then some.
Agreed...this whole virtue signaling and biting the hands of fans...are seriously getting more and more annoying...feels like it showed a middlefinger to families and decided to dolphin dive into politics before playing the victim card when said families stopped watching
@@silentfox8460 100% What makes it really crazy is the fact that it just came out of nowhere one day. Like you go along with what you thought was a really good relationship, no problems, etc, then one day BOOM! Turned on us like some crazy skit from WWE with one of them standing on the stage with a mic like a bad camp villain screaming, " IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!". Only they are not being campy and they are being for real and it's been years of it. I just can't anymore.
@feywinterfox9630 very well said! These CEOs and everything in between are the reason it's dying out.. they lost me with the whole "slaves built this country and we demand reparations" thing (proud family)...they lost their messages with a gentle touch...and did a ballistic 180° turn on fans
Let them cry, complain and believe it's not their fault so they can keep releasing garbage that no one watches till they go broke. It literally doesn't matter anymore, no one can save disney. Might as well enjoy watching it's complete destruction.
11:50 I loved FernGully as a kid as still do as an adult. It’s such an underrated gem with a great message!
*They also made pollution “sexy” which took balls I’m ngl* 💀💀
toxic love STILL goes hard to this day
I legit thought i was the only one looking back at that Gem of a movie XD
Was it Tim Curry who voiced Hestus?
@@lokifenris8133James Cameron certainly was, Avatar was basically Dances With Ferngully
They didn't just make it sexy. They made it horny. A special kind of horny. That is is one of the lyrics of toxic love.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT OUR MOVIES ARE FLOPPING!!!"
Keep telling yourself that, darling.
Wow, Disney is acting like a Nice Guy? Thats a really interesting insight! Very nice. :)
M'nonexistantcustomers.
Disney acting like the “NiceGuyTM” is hilarious, I love it when corporations get there just deserts…*Ha*…karma 😏
And Alteori being strong woman voice in defend of all us makes me have crush on her.
Part of why I was not interested in The Marvels was because I'm so tired of how many Marvel movies keep on releasing, its genuinely hard to keep up so I focus on what I know will be quality (Loki, The Guardians of the Galaxy etc..) and watching movies in theater is very expensive now too
Also I do not find the protagonists of the movie very interesting.
I did not like Ms.Marvel, I thought it was not a good show.
Monica Rambeau was such a little part of Wandavision I had a hard time to attach to her, also it was a while ago already.
And like you said Captain Marvel's portrayal was very much unlikeable.
It was a recipe for disaster but execs expect to be able to shove anything marvel down the throat of audiences and make a billion dollars each time.
14:54 This reminds me of that interview clip where the Black lady's weave/wig falls off mid-sentence and she's like, "Oooh....MY gawd!" 💀
There's a bizarre "this is what's for dinner and nothing else, so eat" vibe with all this. As to why that is, that's debatable, but I wish we could have some adult conversations about irrefutable behaviors that just arent consumer-friendly. This just aint it
Consumers are the ones buying the garbage. They're the ones who are bullied into buying garbage. Customers will walk
One of their favorite catchphrases is the calling fans incels.
The ironic part is the wording they use to attack fans who don't like their products is the exact same type of wording in cells would use to attack the person that rejected them. I cannot be the only one noticing this and I know for a fact they themselves don't realize it
You’ve grown so much as a channel!! I’ve been here since you were under 100k! Congrats!
As a consumer, I missed the part where that’s my problem.
Or your parents, in the cases of The Iron Giant, The Road to El Dorado, Treasure Planet, or The Powerpuff Girls Movie
Assuming you were a kid in the late 90s or early 2000s
The thing is, Hollywood IS conforming to regressive gender stereotypes, harmful ones that enforced unnecessary aggression or far too much submission and deference, the difference is they just flipped which gender was attached to which stereotype. That’s not progress. What I can relate to is characters who have to overcome something difficult, and the one thing both of those stereotypes have in common is neither do-the women in film just can immediately do everything and the men never do anything themselves. So basically, there’s no actual story as long as these are the pool of characters.
“Let’s tank the movie on purpose so that people will not want to invest in strong female characters.”
As crazy as it sounds, it actually makes the most sense 🤔

@@emblemblade9245 because we have a bunch of weak willed type 1s that yield to the exploits of type 2s and type 3s and it will be funny to watch them defend a country
No, it's not the answer that makes most sense, it's the safe answer that lets you sidestep contemplating how deep the cult like ideology commonly referred to as 'woke' has dug its claws into almost every cultural, corporate and governmental institution with adherents who entirely believe in their crazy sounding ideas.
That contrast to Clark Kent and Carrol Danvers is so vast between those scenes it makes Danvers come off as an antagonist to an actual protagonist. Restraint goes a long way to portraying a strong character in a relatable way, not someone who has to prove a point. Great choice to include those, Alteori.
Barbie - The film has grossed $1.446 billion globally. ( 66.2% of audience is female)
The Marvels - The film has grossed $206.1 globally. (65% of audience is male)
Perhaps they should think about why woman in general didn't go to see The Marvels.
Maybe just maybe because there are more males into comic books and the reason marvel got so popular with both is because almost all of males wouldn't shut up about how good the movies were, so when they try to push the mentality "this movie is not for you white male" not only they lost the base customer but word of mouth publicity
Well Barbie for all its flaws was based on something I played with as a kid. I have no personal connection to Captain Marvel and the Captain Marvel movie did nothing to instill in me an attachment to the character of any kind. Ergo when I heard the sequel was coming I had no reason to see it. It’s likely that if I had a pre-existing attachment to the franchise I would have shown up for it like I did for Barbie if only out of morbid curiosity. But what’s the point of watching something that in all likelihood is going to be bad without the masochism of nostalgia or sunk cost fallacy convincing me to hurt myself with it?
They also don’t seem to understand that insulting someone, makes them want to support you less. The only person I’m going to pay for hurting me, is my dentist. I’m not subjecting myself to an agonizing experience, much less spend money to do it, unless I physically have to.
Disney started shipping in cheaper labor in the form of indentured servitude and hiring people based off check boxes than ability. They chased the lowest and cheapest product while pocketing most of budget. They are shocked the name of the brand isn't covering. The entire DEI to them was to hire cheaper labor to earn more profit via the name and brand of product
Does anybody remember how poorly marketed Wonder Woman was when the first movie came out? it had one trailer, and showed up so infrequently that people who cared to keep an eye on it had to actively track the release date.
The only difference between Wonder Woman and Madame Web was that Wonder Woman had a fanbase before a movie was made for her.

The blatant and braindead revisionism is what has me up in fits.
"Touch people's hearts, don't stab them in it"
Nailed it!

This is just become common place for modern Hollywood in general for me. Personally, I’ve just grown completely apathetic towards any western projects, movies or TV shows in general that includes comics I just don’t bother with them anymore my main focus for entertainment for video games, comics, and movies and TV shows are out in Japan, and I really have no reason to come back to the west for any entertainment other than a handful of movies that are still good but those are quickly draining.
The entertainment industry will improve once they come to the realization that the audience is not legally obligated to consume their product, or if they spend a few months going hungry.
Do Disney really think that producing the same kinds of movies over and over is going to have any effect on an audience that they already assume hates everything they do?
How are they going to 'change' the audience? It's like watching a child arguing... "NO! I'm not wrong, you're wrong! And I won't stop bloody swearing."
They need some deprogramming from the DEI/Intersectional cult. Their behavior is a toned-down version of the strawmanning they give to those in their own cult who begin to question the dogma.
As much as I like Alteori, I don't think I can watch these videos in public. Especially around the 14:00 minute mark. Like seriously, what even is 14:21?
Excellent, my hard work not watching their crap is paying off.
It's 80 % corporate problem and 20 % audience problem.
Not only do they blame the people who dislike their content but then they get promoted to do the next flop buster. I wish I could work in a place where I could constantly fail and get promoted and payed more.
For pointing this out and laying down all the right points that ,many of us are saying, I am subscribing to you! You my friend are a smart and sensible individual! Simply marvelous points you made right here!

In so far as I'm deciding not to pay for trash or throw my money at people who hate me? Yeah, I'm to blame. Gladly.
Always blaming us for not supporting these horrible ideas.
The fact that these executives are still attacking their potential audience is proof that they still are not interested in winning the audience back.
OMG I loved your take on removing a stick at the end!!
The African Queen (1950) is a classic example of the “girl boss” concept done extremely EXTREMELY well!
I think it was the film that paved the way for other well written likable female characters like Leia, Ripley, etc.
shocking the difference between it and the horrible garbage today.
But that’s another time, long before selfish no-talent mental toddlers had 200 million dollar tantrums and splooged their hate all over the screen.
This is a basic thought exercise: why would I give my money to a company that actively and consistently calls me hateful? I haven’t watched a disney movie in years and the last one I saw in theaters is the rise of Skywalker(I just had to see how that train wreck of a trilogy would end). Disney can burn for all I care. I’ll never spend another dollar on their crap.
Why are they depending on bigots for their movies to be financially profitable or to consume the product they are giving? it blows my mind!
Reminds me of BLM demanding money from white people while at the same time screaming 'Stay out of our way" and getting mad at them for not helping them.
no one wants to accept the blame for anything anymore
Bruh. Disney legit doesn't get it. that is crazy to think about.
Thank you for pointing out that most audiences aren't aware of what's in the films. They see the trailers, think about the recent track record of the last (sometimes few) film(s) in the series or from the studio they saw, then look in their WALLET and make a choice from there.
Best neologism of the week "Sh*t-coded candy corn'. Go off, girl! 15:15
Im so happy to finally be acknowledged for my lack of contribution. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's very nice to hear a more moderate perspective that also dislikes Hollywood bs. I dislike a lot of the messaging that Hollywood touts. I enjoy channels like the Critical Drinker and Nerderotic, and I don't understand the assertion that disagreeing with a message equates to hating the people/group that the message is about.
Alteori. I must say I enjoy your videos. You have a head on your shoulders. Thanks for the laughs
Thank you for being a voice of reason in a generation of self-initial media.
The reason i don't like famous environments are that most of them are hypocrites. Saying that the oceans are rising, but buying ocean front properties, saying we should all walk or bike to work, but taking their own private jets everywhere they go, etc.
From the mindset of that anonymous Disney exec, they seem to be under the impression that "making a movie better" means conforming to progressive stereotypes or putting women front and center in the narrative. People could care less about stereotypes or narratives. We just want good stories. Anything more or less than that ruins the experience.
I actually laughed so hard when you showed that article with the exec saying "Make better movies" = "Make movies with regressive gender roles" like BRO YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS HAHAHA
Hello Alteori.
Tell it like it is, Alteori, tell it like it is. Old Disney, I miss and watch but the new Disney, no thank you. Shows and movies from 90s and early 2000s Disney were my childhood, great series, reality shows and original movies, that's the Disney I grew up and miss.
Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
Disney needs to take my Grandpa's advice: "If everywhere smells like shit, take a bath."
I accidentally subscribed to you. I 100% don't regret it. Love this content. Keep keeping it real!
The last bit about the stick is hilarious. Thanks Alteori.
It's absolutely true that the audience decides the success of a movie. When you market to an audience that isn't there however, the movie is doomed from the start.
that last 5 minutes was FIRE!! 💯‼
Hey, I do want movies with what the author says are "regressive stereotypes." But they still have to be good movies or I won't like them and I won't want to watch movies made by such a studio.
I've said this before on other videos, but I'll say it again. They're entirely right to blame the fans on the failure of their movies. The success of any product depends on its fans... the problem here is they won't get the message that the ONLY solution is to stop being activists and start making what customers want.
