IF one looks closely at House of the Dragon, The Boys, The Silo one can see diverse cast or even some ideas that could broadly called " leftist". But they are all first rate TV series. ITs just you must have a good story , care about it, thats all that matters. Not starting with political ideas that you want in your movie and your m"diverse" cast first , and then add some pulp story as aftertought.

diversity argument is the biggest bs of cinema/entertainment, how many movies prior to 2010 were great with blacks/asians/females whateva as main actors, almost any Will Smith, Eddie Murphys, Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, anything with Milla Jovovich or Angelina Jolie, etc. Suddently 2010+ they decided start to complain about whateva as excuses to get roles using the race/gender card

Not sure if it's purely because of lazyness. Diversity goes directly against merit. You need to check certain boxes so you cannot really hire someone who is best for the job.

There’s a reason why people are cautious whenever a lead character is “diverse.” We’ve seen too many bait and switch, forced propaganda, and toxic behavior from creators. Fans are tired of the BS and now assume everything is woke until proven otherwise, and we can’t be blamed for that.

I disagree diverse has everything to do with failure much worse when it is forced, for example if you are in North America is okay to see different races and ethnicity but you don't need to force it into fictional race like the Eternals they can be homogeneous or if you gonna shoot a film in South Korea better not try funny stuff like having Indians as representative of south Korea, it all just seems forced and lame, like wanting a Samurai show with an African etc. Diversity is a problem and it's worse with the Alphabet gang because majority of the world isn't USA.

@@dsexton72 My suggestion would be to stop shoehorning it into every single setting regardless of whether or not it's appropriate. In the case of that particular samurai, it's one person and was clearly a rare situation. So don't put southern California diversity into a movie set in rural 17th century Japan. Tell a story about that samurai. It sounds fascinating, but don't pretend like every other samurai is from Africa. Don't take a mythology written for the British and put a whole bunch of ethnicities that would NOT have been in the British Isles in the medieval/ancient period that the stories are set into that story. There are ways to make it work and one is to accept that not every story has to be for every person. Not every story has to be diverse. Does that mean you have to keep diversity actively out? No. Black Panther wasn't diverse. It was all about black people. That's fine. That's the setting for the story. Shogun isn't particularly diverse. Yeah, there's a white guy in it, but most of the people are Japanese, as one would expect. I haven't seen Godzilla-1, but I'd be willing to bet that there isn't a whole lot of diversity in it. It's still a good movie. Star Trek: TOS was extremely diverse for its time period. Black female bridge officer, Russian bridge officer (during the Cold War, no less!), Japanese bridge officer. And it didn't matter. Now, it might have mattered to some people, but it didn't have a dramatic impact on the show itself because there was no reason that there wouldn't have been that kind of diversity in the future world that Roddenberry was creating. In the Wheel of Time books, you knew where a person was from based on how they looked and how they spoke because of the isolation of the various villages. When Amazon made the travesty of a TV series, they made every place a wash of the same range of ethnicities. How in the world could the Two Rivers people recognize that someone was not local to the area when every village has the exact same amount of diversity everywhere in the world? HOWEVER, they could have put diversity into the Wheel of Time books authentically by having the Tairans be one ethnicity and the Two Rivers people be another, the Aiel another, etc. And some places, like Tar Valon would be naturally diverse because the Aes Sedai came from everywhere. But no, every town has to be like a modern metro area and that ruins the story as being told. That is my suggestion.

They are trapped into going along with it in exchange for fame and fortune. You don't ever get to a position of power unless they have some dirt on you that lets them control you with blackmail footage for the rest of your life. Rappers and hip hop artists have tried to expose it for long time but normies don't want to hear about this. They just can't handle it.

Lol, the writers and producers at Disney certainly did not help with career's getting ruined.

It’s not an inherent good. In fact, in society it has to be overcome if you want a high trust society

So, what makes a good story is a good story, and not the gender or color of the characters. And bad movies can damage an actor's career. I'm so glad you made this video, I feel like I learned so much

Doesn't matter if Bob Iger is still in charge, in addition to their business model. The business model they have is to cast people for roles, they do not HIRE people to CREATE content. They are disrespectful to the fans, they just want people to consume product and wait for more product. You don't have to always copy from the source material when making an adaptation. However, what you have to do is keep the spirit of the work or characters. The best example of this is the LoRs Trilogy, what significantly deviates from the source material for the better.

The interconnectedness is a pretty big problem too. You can’t really just go see a marvel movie because it’s an episode rather then a movie and you’ll be showing up in the middle of the show if you want to watch one. Even when it doesn’t feel like showing up in the middle of a random season they infect each other with connection. It’s infected with soap opera’s curse. It’s worthless because there’s never gonna be an end. Politics is the obvious elephant in the room; but the fact that the franchise has structurally become garbage is a real overlooked problem.

One of the best qoutes regarding this is ”I don’t see race I see only colour”

I think the most important thing is to diversify the industry itself. They've tried to "diversify" (rather change them as they please) every single film on average and exclude everything that's against them whether it's creators or fans. It makes the industry exclusive, so poor and boring now. I miss entertaining films from Hollywood.

No, Daisy Ridley was bland Af. I wonder how she got cast in Star Wars. The one that really got his career ruined is John Boyega.

That went from making some good points to fanfic real fast.

Not much will change as long as Black Rock owns everything, they make the calls, they have the money.

This.

People always forget artistic integrity. If you aren't true to the source material you will just piss fans off.

Can they fire some people in Locus Films too? Get some people in who respect the core material and have actually watched the previous Movies, Series and Comics.. Imagine basically turning "The Force" in to DC's "Speed Force" logic and then sh*tting all over Lore of the series.

There are decades of comics full of good stories in the MCU... Why don't they source from them???

Shang chi was a rough watch for me, and i’m a full blood native so i thought Diversity at the beginning might be a good thing but boy was I wrong. It took me multiple viewings just to finish Shang chi one time and I heard it wasn’t that bad.

Shang Chi is an Asian character in the comics, so what was bad for you?

Negativity in your public relations is a poison that doesn't leech out.

They'll now appoint a BRIDGE officer.

It's amazing how we have to make the case that diversity doesn't equal good.

1:37 - "Junior employees in production and development"... You know those aren't producers right? There's a different between production and being a producer. No producers were fired by the sounds of this.

okay but seriously, can someone tell me what the role of shang chi's sister was? they could've skipped the whole fighting arena sequence and just had his dad pick him up in SF, and had the two eyes be a single medallion of something else. His best friend was already a great spot in the role of "woman grow strong."

And the DEI chart of Disney cant produce a good story, in a credible world due to the quotas required for representation.

The ability to automatically dismiss criticism against something based on some get out of jail free card characteristic like diversity, while also potentially destroying the critic, reduces pressure to do that thing well. It's this we should be fighting against: a world where criticism can be dismissed without investigation. It's free speech that is in peril here. Nothing less, nothing more.

The people who wrote Morbius got more jobs. So will these people

Honestly there was at least one good Eternals to tell about the Eternals but the way they executed pretty much everything about the movie destroyed that potential.

Well maybe this mean the beginning of better movies? Not going to hold my breath though, if life has taught me anything you should never expect happiness at all, it has to be earned.

I really think the problem lies with them trying to push out as many movies as possible in the shortest amount of time. Anytime a project is rushed, it’s going to be terrible. Just ask James Cameron what it takes to make a great movie and story.

This is probably accurate.

12:12 Dude, simply telling a "good story" isn't enough for a movie to be memorable and rewatchable.

All focus on box ticking & no focus on box office.

Diversity has never been inherently bad, (and often is a great thing), but it’s become an increasingly reliable red flag for products that have nothing else to offer.

I just get mad when they replace the characters with someone not remotely similar

Considering sequels to movies that lost hundreds of millions of dollars each just speaks to how their politics run the company. Don't care if they cancel them, they'll just ruin something else.

I think Tatiana Maslany's comments had as much to do with the failure that was She-Hulk as the writing did.

The actress that played she hulk, Daisy Ridley, Bree Larson, Leslie Jones, Rachel Zegler, etc Disney, Marvel, Lucas entertainment, etc may have been partially to blame. But none of these people helped their carriers when they decided to attack the fans/customers. They brought that hate for them on themselves.

When an industry prioritizes "identity" over ability in its employees, quality always suffers.

Who tf is Yelena??

Diversity is good, as in the film library should be diverse, but you can't have diversity within every film.

I can agree with this but to a point. Historical accuracy does count for something.

When a company decides to launder money, it's product and services immediately go down the toilet and they no longer need the support of the consumers.

SHUNG Chi was hot garbage and And so was bargain basement Black Widow. As for disney, they have not shown not one iota of evidence that they are changing their ways So, what they a fired a few people, thry still double down on the wokness. We are still getting woke fantastic 4. And woke Star Wars.

@@MakeYouFeelBetterNow I remember Morph walking into open showers like in a gym, seeing Wolverine and making a comment but that's doesn't say much about Wolvie's sexual orientation. They seem to be really good friends but I think there is a lot of assumption here. Now granted, the man is over 100 years old. It is entirely possible he could've explored at some point in his life. And honestly, the way Sabretooth lashes out at him to hurt him, there's some question there, but I would still like some proof. If he is bi-sexual to a point, because we know he loves women, okay...that may be something to explore. But I would like to know for sure instead of assuming and going off of implications. Just a thought.

Absolutely perfectly stated! Great video! 100% agree with you. Creative Writing 101 - START WITH A GOOD STORY THAT PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT.

Also remember when Captain Marvel came out Disney was promoting it as a MUST SEE to understand End Game! 😂

Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, have always been diverse. What in the world are they talking about?
