This is why I made a video on December 16, 2023 commending Zootopia and Encanto for being successful and creative animated Disney films that are less than 10 years old.

You can not define the whole of Disney by its woke failures.

Many years ago, I got sick of movies & TV and only watched an occasional one I found interesting. It's even worse in recent years. At the same time, I had been gaming on the PC for ages and, mixed with doing a lot of my jobs on computers, would get regularly burned out staring at screens anyway. So I started going back to tabletop gaming as a past-time hobby about a decade ago. Going back to a tactile analog experience, so to speak. Seems like I exercise my brain in different ways, especially with big comlicated ones. Fortunately there have been tons of solitaire and co-operative ones coming out for years so I also don't have to limit them to scheduling with friends, although that's just another added facet. The gamer version of turning off the TV and reading a book.

And then I’m also reminded that the current shows that are out there such as Rings of Power, Willow, The Wheel of Time, Star Wars, Star Trek Discovery, Celopatra, etc. etc. are both actively insulting the viewer’s intelligence and antagonizing their customer’s for calling out the garbage that they are.

[@TOXICRAVEN123]

​@@mr.awesome6011message above replying to your question

[@TheSulross]

Of course neither characters of Ripley or Sarah were superheros There's a definite suspension of belief required to watch the superhero genre and when it comes to female "superheros" their plausibility goes to less than zero. There is nothing remotely resembling them in the actual real world. At least with men there are real men that have done incredible things that border into near superhero status. Think about Rudder's Rangers that scaled those impossible cliffs at Pointe du Hoc to knock out the Reich's big guns overlooking the ocean as part of the D Day assault. There are a lot of such heroic deeds accomplished by men that on examination come close to looking like feats of impossibility, but they actually happened. Women heroes are heroic in a different manner - but those bear no resemblance to the Woke political fabrications of Hollyweird. One of the sad things about Woke feminism is where it attempts to hoodwink women into thinking they need to be like men in all respects - which the obvious implication of Woke feminism therefore is its covert view that there is something inherently inferior about being female vs male. Hence all the false projection. So sad. So sad.

[@ObsidianSquared]

We should take a moment to reflect on the origins of Hollywood. It emerged from the era of vaudeville when traveling groups roamed the country, performing to earn enough money for survival and sometimes exchanging entertainment for essential goods. While there were established theater groups that were well-known and traveled extensively, the majority of performers were often individuals in dire financial circumstances, willing to adopt exaggerated characters to amuse the audience and secure their livelihood. As time passed, film and television evolved, bringing together societies worldwide through shared entertainment. Whether it was meeting a stranger at an event, airport, bus station, or even in the military, people could find common ground in discussing favorite actors, such as aspiring to be as brave as the Lone Ranger or as charismatic as Clark Gable. These discussions were rarely seen as political; rather, they offered an escape from the hardships of life, turning the pages of novels into vivid on-screen experiences. News outlets highlighted the lives of these actors, portraying them as almost god-like figures or icons who seemed larger than life. However, over time, it became increasingly challenging to hide the flaws and imperfections of these individuals. Occasional scandals, substance abuse, affairs, and other crimes shed light on the reality that they were just human beings, often grappling with the pressures of fame and making extreme life choices. Unfortunately, a trend emerged in the form of reality shows that exposed some celebrities' strange values and behaviors. This glorification of fame and wealth began to influence young people, who saw such behavior as their life goals, emulating the excessive lifestyle of celebrities. The idea of feeling superior and special due to fame became deeply ingrained across generations. Consequently, some celebrities began using their fame to exert unwarranted influence, and their actions, no matter how harmful or extreme, were supported and even promoted in trending circles. This shift deviated from the core purpose of entertainment - to provide joy and an escape from hardships for people living difficult lives. As we ponder the future of Hollywood, we may witness a process of transformation to maintain power and profitability. The addiction to the allure of fame and influence, much like Gollum's obsession with the "Precious" in Lord of the Rings, will not fade easily. In the midst of their own downfall, we can anticipate more drama, more extreme measures taken to preserve their position. Yet, this may not lead to a "happily ever after" ending. When the credits finally roll, we might observe a list filled with diversity hires and individuals focused on matters like pronouns, often overshadowing the essence of true entertainment. Ultimately, the real story of Hollywood's fate remains to be seen, but it is clear that significant changes and challenges lie ahead for the industry.

The only part of this that I feel bad about, is that it’s going to finish the theaters! Used to love seeing movies.

[@sandy-rr1by]

I've not been to a movie theater since before pandemic. Lost the habit and have no interest in the junk they're putting out now. You may be right.

[@chrisanthemum7]

Surely they can put released movies back in theaters whenever they want?

[@CNC-Time-Lapse]

@@chrisanthemum7 seriously, I would be more interested in seeing 80's action flicks in movies again if they headlined in theaters more over anything that has come out recently... I haven't been to a movie theater in about 4 years now.

$30 tickets and $13 popcorn killed it for me

I honestly dont know how cinemas are dying that quickly; just a couple years ago ( i mean like 2018, im not that old ), the cinema was full of people on any Weekend evening, surely mustve been a couple hundred people, sitting, talking, waiting in line.. it was a place of social contact and connectivity. Now, just 5 years later, there are like 30 people in the waiting area at best, i have been in a couple films and the cinema has been at least 85% empty for all of them… i dont know how it happened so quick. It has lost its whole function as a social meeting point.. now you just go there, watch the film, then leave again.. its always very empty and feels kind of sad for me to see it like that. How fast things can change.. i think „going to the movies“ just isnt a thing anymore for Gen-Z

[@sandraheinz5609]

Crap product, Covid lockdown, living paycheque to paycheque and ticket prices are through the damn roof. Also why would you wanna go see something that you know is gonna be garbage put out by woke hollyweird

Don’t forget all these people were educated in our failing public schools and woke universities in the last 20 years.

Great point, they didn't become moral reprobates al by themselves, they have been indoctrinated.

A problem, by the way, that REALLY SHOULD get fixed right about now! Because this is only going to continue to get worse if we keep allowing "stupid" to create things! I'm over 40 years old, and for the first time in my entire existence, I actually FEAR FOR the future of America!!

When there is a demand for a product that's no longer available, someone will eventually fill the void. Give it time. This will all work itself out naturally.

Nope. Six months later.. it's worse.

As a black man, if I see one more black elf or hobbit, I'm gonna be sick. I'd rather just be a whole new race in a movie than to infiltrate anothers.

[@majorswanson]

I don't go to the movie theater anymore because I hate paying for a woke and/or terrible movie. However, I did go to "Sound of Freedom" in the theater and it was well worth it. By the way, the first theater I went to was sold out and I got one of the last seats at the second theater. Ocala, Florida came out in droves for "Sound of Freedom".

[@bigwigcthulu6902]

LOL same! I watch plutotv and old af shows. I read that hollywood is having a tantrum. I said: wait? since when? And also! What'll I do without latenight tv clickbates from Colberet, and John Awfulver? Oh I don't know: play games, catch up with friends, and...basically have no fucks to give.

I’ve been a industry teamster for 25 years and when diversity hiring and promotions became the fad in Hollywood that pretty much was the nail in the coffin for everyone. Even union heads are “voted” in thru diversity programs. Sad to see especially with 8 years to retirement but we pretty much just toed the line to remain employed.

[@tdb7992]

It's honestly mind blowing that late--night TV shows have so many writers, yet they are so chronically unfunny. What were they being paid to do?

[@TheAsilay]

Wow...Gary....one of your best summarizations about woke Hollywood. Should be required viewing for every exec and actor[s) in that horrible business.

Let this moment be a milestone to the complete closure of everything that is Hollywood. Then Disney can follow suit.

[@alfamalen]

Jennifer Lawrence @ 3:00 "I remember when I was doing Hunger Games (rel. 2012), nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie, [and all the rest of that drivel]". The historic record begs to differ. Just a small sampling 2011 - Haywire - Gina Carano 2010 - Salt - Angelina Jolie 2003 - Underworld - Kate Beckinsale 2003 - Kill Bill - Uma Thurman 2002 - Resident Evil - Mila Jovovich 2001 - Tomb Raider - Angelina Jolie 2000 - Charlie's Angels - Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu (3!) 1997 - Fifth Element - Mila Jovovich 1986 - Aliens - Sigourney Weaver This is just what I could readily come up with.

Disney needs to realize, your Target audience isn’t the Kids. It’s the Adults. They control what the kids watch. If they don’t like it, they won’t show the kids.
