Part 11/12:
The failure of "The American Society of Magical Negroes" underscores a broader cultural shift. Audiences are increasingly disinterested in films that serve purely as ideological tools rather than compelling stories. The move toward politicized storytelling, especially when based on divisive stereotypes or superficial characterizations, risks alienating viewers and eroding trust in Hollywood's creative integrity.
As consumers continue to reject this type of content, critics conclude that Hollywood may be inadvertently boycotting itself—producing and supporting projects that no longer attract mass audiences. The so-called "woke" cinema is faltering, and perhaps the greatest lesson is that audiences still value authentic storytelling over ideological posturing.
