Part 9/12:
The Bleeding Creative Talent and Quality Decline
Part of Disney’s decline stems from a talent drain of creative professionals who once drove its blockbuster successes. Recent reports and industry feedback highlight that Disney’s creative teams are now less innovative, leading to a series of underwhelming movies and entertainment content, especially in high-profile franchises like Marvel and Star Wars.
This talent exodus, critics argue, is largely a consequence of the company's cultural overhaul—prioritizing quotas over merit and fostering an environment that discourages originality. Furthermore, the company’s shift towards social agendas has alienated some of its traditional fanbase and creative minds, impacting both perception and profitability.
