Disney going woke may be a credible theory, but remember, other movies are going woke too, and they’re succeeding. If anything, I can tell the difference between what Disney is doing and what others are doing:
- Others are making original content with their own storylines. Disney has been doing remakes, sequels, and new stories with completely unoriginal ideas.
- Others are woke because they’re more inclusive. Disney has been exclusive towards some groups of people. True diversity doesn’t allow exclusion.
- Disney also made some outrageous decisions, like teaching the idea that everyone is made of stardust, and making Ariel being the one who killed Ursula. There’s a reason why Free Birds failed.
- Additionally, Disney’s been making insults towards their history or other franchises’ history in their remakes, sequels, and new works. If they keep this up, they’re going to be left with fewer audiences.
Of course, it may not even be that they’re woke at all, but rather because they’re a big brand name. When someone has been dominating something for a long time, people eventually get tired of it. This is part of the reason why
Solo failed. You can’t be king forever.
