I wouldn't go that far. But I do have to pre watch Disney films before showing them to my kids. It's not just "woke" or whatever. They also encourage awful mindsets. There's believing in yourself (generally good) and then there's being born perfect and smart and strong, with no effort or failing or mistakes, and having to force the world to acknowledge that you're already totally developed and don't need no man/parents/teachers/other perspectives. I dont like this messaging. I dont like Disney telling my daughter that she doesn't need to work on herself, and I dont like Disney telling my son that he's a clown, and he may not tell girls when they are wrong because = mansplaining = bad.

I did in the 1990s. I wanted to see every good movie but it was literally impossible because so many good movies came out so fast.

Jesse Grant often simplifies the issues. He says: "Diversity doesn´t make a film bad or good it´s the quality of the story that matters." Yes but if an actor is chosen merely because she is a woman or black then the quality of the acting probably isn´t as good as it could have been. And it´s the same for the writers, the directors, and so on. So when diversity is your main goal and you have a good story the result is probably shitty.

Plot twist: That guy never worked for Disney. He was just some random dude they got off the street.

This analysis is inadvertently touching on Critical Drinker's biggest problem: he refuses to attribute the failure of modern media directly to leftism. His implication is always that there's a correct way to propagandize the audience; if leftist activists were only more clever, more subtle, and more capable, then he would take no issue with their messaging. In reality, it is the leftist worldview itself that is directly at odds with quality storytelling. Feminism has given us the girl boss characters who shatter our suspension of disbelief and flatten our character arcs. Critical Theory brought us the anti-Western values of moral relativism, which has manifested as widespread subversion in media. Racial identity politics have injected tokenism and strife everywhere you look. These KZread critics continue to characterize the decline of entertainment media as predictable product of incompetence, but that's simply not the case. Leftist ideology is fundamentally incompatible with quality narrative design. The sooner people realize this, the sooner we can go about fixing it.

Here is the flaw with a lot of this thinking... No, ideology is not the ONLY aspect involved in story-telling, but it is a very important one. It would not matter from an audience's POV if the ideology were horrendously offensive and unacceptable if the story were "otherwise" well crafted: no one who objects to the ideology would watch it to be entertained. It's like saying, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?" Ideology matters. You can't stick lipstick on a pig and fool the audience into believing that the pig is a super-model. The problem with modern storytelling since, say, 2019-ish is, yes, the fact that the stories themselves aren't engaging. The characters are poorly crafted, their actions and consequences don't always seem to harmonize, the dialogue tends to be unengaging, and so on. But even if they were Shakespearean-level quality, if wouldn't overshadow the clear "woke" ideology that modern movie-makers are still trying to foist on the audience.

At this point I AM judging a movie when the trailers, interviews and reveals focus on diversity and inclusion. I didn't for the first twenty odd stinkers, but even an old dog can learn a few new tricks if he's been led by the nose long enough. Pointing out that diverse movies were box office successes says nothing because they weren't necessarily successful BECAUSE of diversity (nor despite of it, in all fairness). As in all products, its a mix of features that make a great movie and for too long Hollywood thought they could get away with substituting almost all of the award winning ingredients with more diversity and coast on by. I'm sick and tired of it so if a movie is advertising in this way I'm no longer willing to fork over money for a movie ticket in the vain hope that this time will be different. I'll wait for news that they mended their ways. Maybe then I can go to the cinema again and be confident I won't feel disappointed in myself for supporting the business.

Clearly that Disney guy is clueless about what's going on. No surprise, competent staff all left Disney.

When I watched the cast, I was choked with laughter! Why, you say?

If the people at Disney are so righteous, why did they lock away Song of the South?

The fact that they act like its racist shows how bigoted they actually are, and are completely un-self-aware.

That guy defending Disney, isn't that the same guy defending the Cleopatra doucumentary a few months ago?

Maybe if they stopped making vehicles for politics & telling everyone who doesn't like it to pound sand, maybe Disney would finally make a profit

Stronger together 😊

Disney knows full well what they're doing and they prove it almost on a daily base at this point.

I remember Dr Strange and everything everywhere all at once came out around the same time. The movie with the dramatically lower budget knew what it was doing

I saw A New Hope at the Drive in when I was six. Oh what a great time. Now Disney has found a way to ruin my childhood after I've grown up.

Disney will change nothing. They've already hired an actress to play Silver Surfer. A female Silver Surfer exists, but that's not the issue. Because of how female characters are presented in the MCU recently, you just know this will be woke, preachy, and unwatachable.

He says the movies aren't doing well because they are sequels. He must forget that endgame was originally called infinity war pt 2. Also, most sequels in the mcu did better than their precadesor pre endgame.

The way the Disney representative just shakes his head and smirks the whole time the others are talking points out what the real problem is. The people inside the bubble don't want to debate. They think they're better than everyone else and can just deflect any criticisms. That works on MSNBC when your audience is also in the echo chamber and don't want to hear contradictory opinions. But it just comes off as condescending and elitist everywhere else. And these people are running Disney. So even if some people in Disney like say the CEO or some shareholders are willing to concede that things are going in the wrong direction, these people swoop in and try to get them cancelled. I mean, the guy literally has a book behind him praising cancel culture. And you know he has it there so that the Disney producers and executives he's on a zoom call with will see it and get intimidated. That's the point we're at now. The woke consultants are running Hollywood.

There wouldn't be superhero fatigue with great stories. Inconsistent characters, plot holes and bad writing is just frustrating to deal with.

4:05 - The title of the book behind this 'mystery-meat' says it all.

It all starts with the woke agenda. Fan fatigue is just a symptom of the real problem. Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios should be powerhouses in the entertainment industry. On par with MGM, Dreamworks, etc. Saying that the space is over populated is denying the existence of the fan base of the comics themselves. Every character, every spin off, every franchise has established characters and tells established stories. For the most part. Does this mean that the comics industry is over saturated too? If so, where's the fan fatigue there? I would personally say no. The problem in the comics industry, just like Hollywood, is the woke agenda. Something that I believe is being well mitigated by the rise of independent and crowd funded self publishing as well as the fan backlash against these insufferable wokeists.

I didn't like black panther. i think people just say it was good because it is politically correct. It wasn't as woke as later films but i just found it boring, unbelievable and with bad cgi. I didn't even finish the film because i was so bored.

The identity politics in Black panther wasn't as bad because it fit the geographical and pseudo-historical setting. Unlike many other projects where the inclusion of black people don't fit and becomes a distraction and breaks immersion (like beauty and the beast in a puritan village of 1500s france).

The Critical Drinker not only calls out the crap that doesn't work in movies, he also offers suggestions for change as well. It's what makes his criticism constructive rather than reductive.

It's hard to fight using great logic, like Critical Drinker's opening statements, when the opposition stubbornly believes that their woke centric writing is good writing.

The last Disney fare I saw in the cinema was The Last Jedi. After that, I was done.

Same, that movie was such an insult to the franchise and intelligence of its viewer, I don’t actually think I’ve spent a penny towards Disney since

1) One should ask professional victims if they believe to be hated by the majority of people (they will say Yes) then ask them why are they making characters similar to them and still think they're gonna be successful, if they're that hated. 2) that 'activist' implied that Black Panther was successful because it had black people in it. Is he suggesting a race component in every other successful film?...'cause that argument is in favor of white people, by FAR. In quality and number of films that were successful! By his logic white people have won 1000 : 1 !!! He's so focused on being r4cist against whites that he doesn't even see he's horribly r4cist to blacks!!

There are too many interruptions. You should have just let the debate play.

It’s a Piers Morgan interview. There would have been hundreds of interruptions anyway.

I think you are lost

Very nice video.. very perfectly mentioned the issues. Thanks

Movie industry has been corporatize. A movie is an art form and need to be made by an artists.

Seeing the book "The Case For Cancel Culture" prominently displayed on the Disney rep's shelf and the first words out of his mouth, I immediately had an "oof" moment.

Super hero fatigue is an excuse for bringing modern politics to a BILLION dollar franchise. They knocked out their heavy hitters, which is fine...if you replace them with stories and a new developing cannon that nods to the comic book nerds but creates a great succession of Marvel adventures. Nope, Disney made a stand on their movie themes and they're not learning the lessons of other major franchises that owned their mistakes and corrected course.
