Part 7/10:
A recurring criticism centers on Disney's apparent prioritization of messaging over entertainment. When films like "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania"—starring Paul Rudd and Jonathan Majors—fail spectacularly, detractors point to a focus on woke themes and propaganda as primary reasons. Instead of making universally appealing movies, Disney seems to tailor content to segments of their ideologically driven audience, alienating others.
One insider comment emphasized that Disney creates products that are "regressive" and overly centered on gender stereotypes or male-fronted narratives, which hasn't resonated well with viewers. These choices, critics argue, have contributed significantly to the company's dwindling relevance and box office receipts.
