The problem I have with Brie Larson is the same with Taylor Swift, they act like politicians. Everything they say is carefully crafted and they're flowing with the wind on all topics. Every interview, you can tell that overthink every answer and show no personality. I have more respect for Cardi B and The Situation from Jersey Shore because at least they don't hide who they are. And it's common to see that they're "difficult to work with". It's like there's a correlation between being a pain behind the scenes and coming across as totally robotic in public.
 


Basically, Disney's own Execs think their movies are great, with great political messaging, and people who want better movies from them are only upset because they have regressive social ideas, and when they say they want better movies, thats code for, bring back regressive gender norms, and white men.
 


According to Puck News, a Disney exec has gone on record as saying that they blame the AUDIENCE for not going to their recent movies and that it was about bigotry and not about the quality of their movies. Yes, it's the AUDIENCE'S fault that The Marvels, Wish and Ant-Man 3 landed with a thud. Say what?! If you ever had ANY doubt that Disney's hubris has no bounds, here's some proof for you.
 
I wish I had that power. Then the whole of Hollywood would crash and burn.

Which would be really freaking great for both society and culture at large.

They do it to themselves:

I just don't get it. You tell MEN not to watch your movie and then cry like bitches when they don't show up? WTF is wrong with these people?

I mean he's not wrong about people not liking the 'female empowerment' in their movies and just calling it bad, but he also doesn't he also get that that it is actually bad. Telling women to hate men, but also that they can only be respected if they start acting like men, and that they should have to like things men like, is not empowering, nor can it be well written, because it's fundamentally anti human.
 
And its those asshole bigots fault for not spending 1000s of dollars at our expensive overpriced park. Get a second job you trailer park trash. Dont blame us if we upped the prices while downgrading the service. Your transphobic for not wanting to take out a mortgage on your kids to come to the park. Racists

It's incredible to think that they are somehow really this dumb.

On an individual level it really is as simple as "make movies that appeal to me or I won't go to watch movies". It doesn't really matter what the reasoning is.

If I am not into movies with female leads then what are they going to do? Force me to go to the cinema?

It's not like they aren't getting feedback either. YouTube is full of nerd and game and movie channels that get millions of subscribers and viewers who all agree that the new stuff is rotten.

If Star Wars and Marvel are your big investments and are expected to be your biggest money makers then refusing to cater to the existing audience is obviously not going to go well.

When I used to go to see Marvel movies my experience was that the cinema was mostly fully of boys and men. On top of that a large percentage of the women there would be accompanying boys or men. Back then for sure my wife would never go to these movies were it not for the fact that I was buying the tickets.

I find this in the gaming industry too, you've got a situation arising where developers, directors, etc have a sense of entitlement that is just so irrational. That they are entitled to an audience.

Sure I could spend 2 hours of my free time watching your woke movie but why bother when I could spend say 20 minutes watching a YouTube dude tear your movie to shreds and get far more entertainment out of that?

Imagine any other business saying to the customer "listen, we honestly don't want to give you a product that you'll enjoy or even want but we just want to remind you that you're a bad person if you won't give us your money."

You want my money then put men front and center in the narrative. Otherwise I am fine spending my time and money elsewhere and best of luck to you in finding a replacement customer.

They are basically banking on enough people just being blind consumers and not realising that "hey I could go to the gym or take up fishing or spend more time with my friends and family instead of obsessing about the next Star Wars."
 
To what? Make him sensitive to current day issues? Isn't the whole point of Patrick Bateman is that he's a yuppie asshole who kills people just to feel alive?

Honestly with it's underlying themes of how modern culture and puddle deep social interactions kill you inside, as well as the complete lack of fulfilment materialism provides, and how soulless and interchangeable corporatism makes people, the original movie is more applicable today than ever.

A remake can only be worse.

And of course wokesters would utterly miss the point of it.

Shit, you could do the calling card scene today but with woke NPCs instead of yuppies and nothing much would change.
