All Disney has to do is drop the woke, drop the girlboss stereotype, stop screwing cartoon classics with left-wing remakes and stop making immature, bean mouthed crud like Elio and they’ll do fine.
I heard Elio failed because it wasn’t advertised enough. But you’re right, that movie was stupid and I think people are getting sick of that bean mouth style.
Try defining “wOkE” and “girlboss” instead of using them as snarl words for anything you don’t like but are too cowardly to say why. Also explain how the Lilo and Stitch remake is “left-wing” when it basically removes a big part of the native Hawaiian touches in the original movie (assuming you’re misusing “cArtOoN” here to refer to feature-length films for some reason).
And what was immature about Elio? Or are you judging the entire movie by its art style as though that’s the only value animation has?
I’m a woman and I to am tired of girlbosses leading everything. There’s a difference between a woman character who can become strong through her hardships and be humble about it rather than having a snooty, prideful attitude and welding a sword right from the beginning. Go back to the good old days when a man saved a screaming, panicking woman and got a kiss for it.
You said you don’t like “girlbosses” and that you want female characters to have an development arc, then immediately revert to “hurrdurr women shouldn’t be actual characters they should just be screaming babies who need to be rescued”. What’s your actual argument here? Is being a competent hero inseparable from being “snooty” but only with women? Do female characters always have to start out at zero with zero skills or else they’re “prideful” “girlbosses”? You’re all over the place.
Strange Worlds failed because it was woke.
Elio failed because it was st*pid and people are sick of that chubby-cheeked bean mouth style. I know I am.
Captain America failed because they used a black man and also because the actor said Captain America should represent Captain Earth. The movie also poked at Trump.
Fantastic Four failed because people are tired of MAGA h*ting Pedro Pascal.
Wrong. Strange World failed because it received *zero* marketing, and consequently nobody knew what the heck it was about until it released. If you don’t believe me, look at Raya and the Last Dragon – that movie wasn’t “wOkE” (if by which you think woke = includes gay people), came out the same time of year (holiday season), and also received virtually no marketing, and failed too. Elio also received no marketing. Compare that to the Lilo and Stitch remake, which was terrible but did well because it was actually advertised and had brand recognition for being a remake. You just desperately want to believe that you’re the silent majority somehow.
I’d like to start seeing men in the lead to. But MEN. Not wimpy soyboys. Not gay or trans men. Not men like Pedro who insults Trump. Hamburger eating, dragon slaying, woman saving, muscle bound American MEN.
Gay and trans men are still men, I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings. If you actually cared so much, take all of the movies released in the past year and look at their posters and main characters. Around 70% feature a dude front and center as the most prominent.
You’re just butthurt that there’s more variety, because you’re so used to your favorite type of character being an overwhelming majority that you think a more even distribution equals extinction.
