IT'S YOUR FAULT Movies are FLOPPING

[@woodp.toon1776]

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.

[@Yattayatta]

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.

[@Martin-lm8xp]

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.

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....

[@yelsahblah3270]

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.

[@John-fk2ky]

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.

[@suspiciousstar7547]

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.

[@alchemystudiosink1894]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@raeldri5867]

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

[@noonenowhere877]

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?

This is just become common place for modern Hollywood in general for me.

[@DavidSupina]

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.

[@VolkswagenNut1969]

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.

[@reader5562]

I would certainly not say that a female or ethnic lead was a red flag for anything made before 2016 or so, it has become an indication more recently. This is especially true for adaptations where they race or gender swap characters from existing IPs due to it indicating that they are not about to tell the story the original author created. It doesn't always mean that something is wrong (Equalizer 4 was quite entertaining even if Denzel is getting up there in years to be doing action movies anymore. He's still amazing at giving the stare that says "You're about to regret drawing my attention"), but it is one of the warning signs at this point. Hollywood is full of talentless writers who can only get a job by promoting The Message, and it's getting easy to tell when that is all there will be in a movie.

I have been following this trend now for some time, and what puzzles me is how hardly any people involved question the true motivation of the involved multi-billion dollar companies. Who in their right mind ever believed even for a moment that these companies stand for true progressive ideas rather than cashing in on current events via signals, quotas and guidelines? How could the activists formerly known as actors, actresses or the journalist really make us believe that the companies cared about the well-being and positive development of our societies more than about making money? Die they truly believe in tat narrative or were they forced to comply? (Either way, not a good exposure for them.) How did the executives expect the audience to suspend their disbelief that hard? Now, it seems, journalists and producers seem to get the idea and announce a withdrawal from this general idea. Why? Have we eliminated oppression, underrepresentation and the isms? Why now? How is 20204 different from 2022? Ah, it didn't make money. So they drop it. It wasn't about evil forty year-old white dudes at all. I feel a little bad for those maybe even honest allies within the media who have made themselves fools by white-knighting said general idea. But only a little.

The last two Disney films I watched in the theater were "Onward" and "The Haunted Mansion"(1923). I liked both of them, but I honestly don't know anyone else who did. I noticed neither film was marketed well, which may explain why both failed at the box office. Pushing DEI has certainly not helped in attracting audiences.
