do the kids like "woke"?
isn't that who they really aim movies at: disposable income types? like youth?

Kids do not know better... their brains are fresh, they don't have nothing to compare it to... someone born in 2002 probably hasn't seen the movies released in 1984, 1991... so kids just accept what is being offered and consider it to be good.

Dark Fate was a box office flop though, so not many kids fell into this trap this time... but Dark Fate is not an isolated incident, a lot of content (years before DF and after it) are being produced with this agenda and media companies are bombarding current generation's brains with this, I am worried about the high volume this is being done and the future of media in general because it may get worse... it's like brainwashing.

Do you think everyone making these woke films will wake up to the lack of profits and swing back around to profitable films after a few more years?

It's old farts and right wing pups the one that don't like "woke"

Really? Because it seems modern audiences are not PAYING for bad, woke films either. Hence, checkout the box office receipts.
What's the point of making a movie if it has no audience?

Thus, my original question

MY son was born in 2006. Until fairly recently he was a huge Marvel fan. Seeing all the male Marvel superheroes either killed off or neutered or made ridiculous really turned him off. The last straw for him was hearing about the upcoming Thor movie where Thor gets replaced by a tiny little woman. He just took down all his Marvel posters this summer and replaced them with video game and super car posters. He went from die-hard Marvel fan to total apathy about the whole franchise within a few months.
