This is the only way to explain their child-like, 100% self-serving concept of "fairness" with moving goalposts, plus the victim complex peppered-in. A camera and attention addiction made them so self-obsessed they can ONLY live vicariously through themselves, which explains the blatant shoehorning/self-inserts. Kicking down everyone else's sandcastles gives them a fleeting dopamine hit and then they see themselves as the clear winner by default. They are Peter-Panned adults, like all deranged world rulers were for the exact same reasons.

I guess the faking of their numbers happened already before Endgame. I remember very well when I and a friend of mine fell for the "Captain Marvel will reveal important information for Endgame" marketing, so we went into a movie that we wanted to skip. When we ordered the Tickets, it was basically sold out with 2 of the prime seats being strangely open, but we didn't ask questions at this point. The questions came when we were the only 2 people in a sold out theater. This was the first time where the thought of Disney faking numbers came up to me.

Hiring inexperienced directors or ones who never made big budget Hollywood films (like the feminist documentary direction who likes to "make men uncomfortable"), so they have no clue how to shoot efficiency and probably end up shooting on twice the days they need to. Reshooting when an initial cut sucks (The Marvels). All the editing in a desperate attempt to save them.

Greed will do that to you going after the big payoff. We lost a lot of the small and mid budget movies. They might not be totally impressive but at least you can test out the waters with the small budget movie, going to medium budget movie and if It succeeds go on to the big budget movie. At each stage if it succeeds you go up to the next level, if it doesn't succeed you go back to the starting. Then it becomes a minimum risk maximum payoff.

Imagine writing a story that isn't a story. "We have an amazing script!" ... "Cool, no one wants it. I've never seen so many words become just random letters. Let's just put it out anyways!"

It was like magic, especially as a kid growing up back then. And now they throw that empire that's about 100 year in the making down the drain, because they wan't to satisfy the proper connections/investors, despite that being their definite end. And i still don't understand why, they don't just satisfy the ESG-scores, they make the whole movie bland and boring. Even the kids i know today agree that they like most old Disney movies more. If i don't watch it being an older fan, and the kids will forget the mediocre movies within a year, then who is this for?

And this is the thing with the entertainment industry, you can have 90 years of bangers and amazing things, it might even save you for 1 year of bad things, but the moment you start making flop after flop for like, 5-10 years in a row? It hits rly hard. That's how the entertainment industry goes.

I sure hope so. Disney has to collapse just to show that this "woke" agenda is not what people want but normal and decent stories. People watch movies to be entertained not be preached about the lunacy of talentless people

People have been speculating about this at least since Captain Marvel became a billion dollar movie with how many empty theater pictures people were posting online... It's not just the poor quality content that's killing them, it's their method of making movies in general. Their budgets get ballooned because they don't start making their movies with a clear creative vision in mind going into it. They make movies by committee, so they treat the actual production like a micromanaged rough draft that they'll edit and change in post production based on which version gets the least negative response in focus testing. Then they make their VFX teams do new effects to replace old ones again and again for each version of new scenes they add or change without giving them a whole lot of extra time that they need to do it well. I've heard their on-set catering is supposedly through the roof as well. Movies like Dune Part Two and especially Godzilla: Minus One and The Creator prove that you can make quality special effects on sub-$200 million budgets, and at least two of those were great movies. Regardless of what you think aboht any one of those movies, they proves that you can save money simply by having a clearly defined creative vision from the start and try to do it right the first time in production so that you don't need to rework everything in post (or require as few reshoots as possible).

I want to see disney continuing to lose money. I want to see them broke!!

Blaming Toxic Fans for The Marvels Underperfomance is not good for Disney but it is THEIR Fault to blame.

At this point is just want to see Disney going full broke. Even if they turn around their shit somehow (which they won't) i will try not to give any money for them. Let it be an example.

So satisfying to see Disney get what they deserve!

I've always believe they faked Captain Marvel's box office. The Marvels flopping as it did gave me a lot of vindication

Isn't "lying to their own investors" about profits also called "fraud"?

I appreciate CGI when it's executed skillfully. However, some filmmakers seem to rely on CGI as a quick fix, neglecting the essential elements that truly captivate audiences. It's as if they believe impressive visual effects alone can compensate for weak writing, shallow character development, and a story that prioritizes messages over substance. But audiences aren't fooled by just flashy effects. We can tell when a movie's missing heart and depth.

This is a consequence of a society that not only encourages but glorifies narcissism. We live in an era, where a good amount of people LOVE to concept of 'Mary Sue', whereas in the past it was the worst insult you could get from the storytelling perspective.

Disney's addiction to BlackRock money and their box office failures should be held up as an example of "your mind on drugs."

Disney aren't going to change - they will keep on pumping out crap

You can smell the desperation from a mile away

In the movie "The Producers" an accountant realises the play productions made more money when they were a failure compared to a successful play. Maybe Disney has realised the same thing.

I am so sad that Disney is not the Disney that I and many others grew up with. Their movies were so great because they told good stories with heart and great animation with passion. “Insanity mean repeating the exact same thing over and over and over until you get the different results. LOL 😂

It’s always been hilarious how the movie studio has enough unmitigated gal to suggest that the reason people aren’t going to see their movie is because we as movie watcher are somehow toxic. If your movie doesn’t set that standard of audience interest. we as watcher of film are not gonna put down almost $20 for your stupid movie if you’ve made a bad product. The toxicity is not coming from us - it’s coming from the studio, who think that they have made absolute perfect movie one in fact, the story they came up with is absolutely disjointed to the point where it’s literally unwatchable not to mention embarrassing to those of us who have a critical thinking standard for the storytelling that we appreciate. If you put $200 million into a movie turn around and call us toxic. I don’t know how you think you’re gonna win anybody over by putting out inferior product and then on the backend call us the film connoisseur’s toxic for not watching your bad product. Ego at its absolute worst.

Investors are what killed this industry. They're basically loan sharks. They provide and make promises of profit to Disney, so Disney bows to their every whim. The focus is on profits, not entertainment. Disney's forgotten its purpose in the industry. So, making good movies first over movies designed to pander to a large audience in hopes of raking in profits is not going to be in the cards for them unless they get rid of the investor and focus on being an entertainment giant who forges ahead on their own merits like they did in the old days.

Is there nothing Disney won’t stoop too low to? *Employees* like Kathleen Kennedy etc are Managers of the Owners’ [Shareholders] money. She works for them! I know it’s been asked before; *How does she justify collecting a monthly Salary?*

Easy, bailout money, 2 billion dollars out of the government's pockets every single flop they make.

Although higher budgets equal more risk the main problem is not listening to the target audience and instead insulting them by calling them names. I never seen a strategy of pissing off the consumer be effective in any field.

With the exeption of Cinderella, None of the live-action remakes are close to the original

How to fix Disney: GET RID OF BOB AND HIS CRONIES!!!

So the rumors of drag queens, woman, and other DEI people lined up for tickets at the theaters isn’t true? 😳😱

This problem with inflated budgets for films has also hit the Deadpool series. The third entry is rumored to cost between $200-$300 million. And since each of the earlier movies made about $900 million, the chances of having a huge hit becomes much less likely.

Buisness wise never invest your stocks into the movie tv or game industry

What do u expect wen u let weirdos handle ur money! 10+ yrs 🙄

i hope disney fail for their wokeness.

I hope they find out about all the tickets that were bought and no one showed up

If you don't talk about Disney's animated projects you drop the ball.

If you invest in Disney, remember a fool and their money are soon parted…🤪

They have eggs in other baskets. Yes, their films are failing, but that could be what Bob wants, so film finances can be put in a different venture.

Blame everyone else but not yourself. WHAT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PLAN! Keep spending, keep spending keep losing keep losing. There you go...

source: trust me bro. If your gonna claim they are getting sued at least have a reliable link to what you are talking about, I could not find one news source this year about them being sued for faking box office numbers at all.

Disney spent the last 4-5 years hiring all the wrong people, they will make crap content until that problem gets solved,, the issue is that its a 20/30 year problem. You can't just fire 80% of your workforce. Disney will eventually downsize to fit the amount of money they can make with the talent they have. They just haven't figured out what that size is yet, they're only as big as they are now because of how well they did prior to all the DEI hires.

The reason why Disney fails is much more simple. All the things Jesse mentions are the symptoms - not the reason. They became a feminist propaganda company which doesn't care about the story, the audience or anything but just putting the message from their personal manifesto everywhere without much bother. Same issues were with ussr cinematography but it worked cuz a) Iron Curtain prevented peopel from watching really good films and they had no choice, b) movie goers were much less experienced and enjoyed the primitive movies that came out. Same issues with russian classical literature of 19th centure: boring plot if any, dumb and flat characters which you hate as a reader, no explanations but lots and lots of philosophy which mostly sounds liek prpaganda. And it actually was! And just as feminism does propagande many pretty dumb points, russian classical writers also did it in their own way. So once the art becomes a weapon of promitive propaganda it stops being enjoyable cuz the creators don't care about the quality of a story or the comfort and joy of their audience - all they care about is putting as much message as possible and that really sucks

As always, great video. You put my thoughts into words. Thanks 👍
