What? Can you guys read? My problem isn’t female involvement. Any female can make anything as good as a man can and vice versa. My problem is that that is the focal point of the article and often also Disney when it should be about the story and the characters.

Since when did America and their corporations go so off-rail that gender equality and politics in film and tv media started mattering more than the story? THAT is my point. From a European standpoint it makes Hollywood look like a bunch of madmen (and madwomen, equality).

Best faith reading of your response I can muster: Disney is marketing wrong, they should have released an article about Story and Characters.

but elaborate what are you saying here:

the right person with the right passion and the right knowledge

How does (in the best faith reading of your response) a desperate, pandering marketing tactic exclude this possibility?

I feel like this is such a tired talking point because there are way less examples of this than any of you can specifically point out. I’m not denying Disney is falling off hard, and I’m glad for it, but the casually inoffensive left-y politics that make it into a trade article here or there have never been the “sole” tool. You see it once and get all up in arms about it, that says more about you than it does Disney. What is Ant-Man Quantumania’s excuse

Disney is spineless and has no principles or ideology, they’ll promote on any and as many broad terms as they can. If you’re going to attempt analysis of the business, you have to go after more than their empty rhetoric. there’s hundreds more valid criticisms than the (weak) stuff that puts you off personally
