Dear Disney, I don't even bother pirateing your movies. Not even worth the bandwidth. That's how bad your movies are now.
-
The cinematic equivalent of “ beatings will continue until morale improves”
-
I love hearing how people in Africa thought Wakanda/Black Panther was ridiculous. It’s sad how overblown that movie was simply because it had “a black superhero”. Meanwhile everyone seemed to forget the Blade trilogy existed
-
Why is it fine for Kathleen Kennedy to say women and girls can’t identify with heroes like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo but bad if men and boys don’t identify with Rey Palpatine and Helena Shaw?
-
Insults from a defeated enemy mean nothing to the victor. Kick rocks, disney.
-
Considering Captain Marvel would want me to ignore her at a bar, it's only being consistent to ignore her at the movie theater too.
-
They told us not to see their films, they called us bigots, racists, sexist, homophobic, etc. and then they’re upset that no one wants to see their films.
-
Black Panther was actually wildly racist in the way it portrayed Africans.
-
Some people forget that that they’re not entitled to your money. They have to earn it.
-
Well, they're partly right: moviegoers ARE to blame for Disney films failing at the box office. Because almost nobody wants to give Disney money for their awful woke movies.
-
The exec actually went with: "calling the movies bad is dogwhistle code for misogyny".
-
Middle American dad here. What Drinker says is true about normal people not liking this trite. But, "the message" has a disdain for all normal people everywhere
-
It's simple: give the customer what they want. I don't want a 90 minute lecture, and I don't think anyone else does either.
-
Disney was always viewed as "safe" for families. Parents are paying attention now and that image of safety is lost, and is very difficult to get back.
-
It’s pathetic when rich people are outraged that fans hate their movies. How weirdly entitled do you have to be to insist that people just shower you with money?
-
If I'm paying for a 90 minute lecture, I better be working toward a degree or certification.
-
Disney execs out of touch? Yeah, that tracks.
-
Yes, it is absolutely the fans' fault for not going to see these movies. Because they have free will and will, by and large, choose not to watch something they know is going to be disappointing.
-
Personally, I found Black Panther to be an extremely 'meh' film. For political reasons, everyone had to be a Mary Sue, essentially perfect from the moment that they appeared on screen. So, no one had any inner conflict, learned no real lessons, and exhibited no growth. We need only compare to Iron Man and Dr. Strange, two movies where we rooted for the title characters because we could see our own flawed selves in them and also appreciated their journey forward.

“Im not making something you like and that’s your fault!” Good plan Disney. Run with that. See how it goes.
