Disney: go woke, go broke? 

Fire the woman who said she’s adding queerness wherever she can. Audiences don’t want agendas, they want to be entertained.

My 3 young children haven't asked me to go to watch a disney/marvel movie for the past 3 years. Thank god.

Can’t stand their woke BS narratives.

Don’t watch anything from Disney. The CEO should be fired, again.

In the Snow White book, Snow White’s skin is described as white as snow.. it’s not racist, Snow White is just a white woman so why are they not using a white actress?

It warms the cockles of my heart to learn that the woke garbage churned out by the likes of Disney is going down like a cup of cold sick. Watch them learn zero lessons and double down on “The message”.

There is nothing they can put out that would make me give Disney any money again. I'm done with them. Done with Hollywood altogether really.

Teenage boys wants good plot, action, suspense, special effects, sexy, cars etc Maybe models to build. Not woke, relationship problem, geriatric diseases etc.

Putting a chick in and making it gay seemingly not a surefire guarantor of success.

I feel so bad for Walt Disney. Not only does Iger's regime hate him, but they've made customers angry enough to cheer for what activists have wanted all along: for Walt to be abandoned and forgotten, and his entire life's work to be erased from history and the public. *Iger* is the one who deserves that, not Walt Disney.

Letting kids near Disney is simple abuse...protect your kids!

Three or four years ago, maybe five, I noted that while Marvel Studios was churning out one blockbuster megahit after another, based on classic, beloved characters, and loosely adapting some of the most highly regarded stories that had been told in Marvel Comics over the years, Marvel _Comics_ -- the actual comic books themselves -- were sitting unsold on shelves. The reason is that Marvel's comics division went woke. If you had walked into a comic store at the height of the MCU phase one success, you would have seen _none_ of the characters you saw on screen (and whom you had possibly grown up reading if you were a comics fan) in the pages of then-current Marvel Comics. They had _all_ been switched out with diversity replacements. Tony Stark was out as Iron Man; his replacement was a young black female named Riri Williams (they had to change the character name to Ironheart). Spider-Man was a Black/Hispanic named Miles Morales, instead of Peter Parker. Sam Wilson had replaced Steve Rogers as Captain America. Ditto with Jane Foster and Thor. The Hulk was no longer Bruce Banner; Hulk was now an Asian guy named Amadeus Cho. Now in principle, there's no reason why alternate versions of characters can't work. Before DC too went woke, they had introduced alternate -- and sometimes non-white -- versions of characters like Flash, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, et al. But these diverse replacements weren't selling comics at Marvel, because the SJW comics writers working there were _clearly_ laser-focused on "representation" and pushing a political agenda. When good stories and interesting, relatable characters take a backseat to that, the result is inevitably bad. And Marvel Comics' sales reflected that. Woke Marvel alienated longtime readers, and it turns out the most strident voices on social media _weren't_ interested in buying comics and replacing those alienated customers, no matter how much the writers pandered to them. Funny thing is, at the time, I figured Disney, being a business, and (I thought) being primarily interested in _making a profit,_ would jerk the leash on Marvel's comics division and say "alright, knock that off; get back to telling the kinds of stories fans are actually interested in, so your branch of the company stops losing money." Boy was I in for a surprise! Instead, the suits at Disney looked at the money-losing, woke comics division, that was busy turning out products that _weren't selling_ and said "YES! Let's do _that!"_ Madness. But fiscal reality can't be denied for ever. Two centuries ago, Adam Smith observed "there is a great deal of ruin in a nation," meaning an established nation is so large, wealthy, and stable it takes a lot of ruin finally to bring it down. Well, that's also true of huge, century-old, multinational mega-corporations. But Disney is finally proving that "a great deal" is still _finite._

Cat-calling is bad,but twerking at work is juuuust fine....

Those woke executives need to feel more pain. Vote with your wallet.

It's all for the ESG scores

parents, JUST STOP BUYING DISNEY. stop paying them. let them fail

I remember the days when most characters did not have to identify if they were not romantic with an opposite sex. They were just part of the show.

We have 6 kids in our family. We cancelled Disney+, Hulu and cable. We do not buy any Disney products. We vacation elsewhere. Disney continues to go harder and harder woke.

They are trying to make up their movie losses by gouging visitors at their parks.

Boycott Disney. Simple and effective.

no one is 'nonbinary' or trans

No doubt the entire company is staffed by DEI appointees … Disney is screwed.

Cinema's were places of escapism. Places that took you from your plain house to a glitzy cinema where you would watch a movie that would help you dream. Now they're bland places where you get lectured at

Walt Disney himself would vomit if he could see what his company has become.

I have Autism, and my main “special interest” has been Disney my whole life. I learned whatever English I know from reading Leonard Maltin's The Disney Films with a dictionary at a very young age in the Eighties. Disney's current insanity is a catastrophe for me. I can watch and enjoy the worst of classical Disney: Victory Through Air Power, The Million Dollar Duck and any cheap straight-to-DVD sequel. But I cannot watch anything new. It is intolerable. I am left wing.

It's not just about the movies; many of these 'woke' actors and actresses are repellant as people. For me, personally, I want to have some degree of assurance that the person on screen representing a character is not a total A-hole. For this reason there are many 'stars' I refuse to watch because their self-entitlement and sanctimonious attitudes leak through the screen. Alec Baldwin, Tom Hanks, Will Smith etc. ugh. But I'd watch Michael Cain, or Morgan Freeman or Anthony Hopkins in anything they care to be in.

A hulk lawyer. Something tells me courtroom decorum is going to suffer.

They’re currently pounding away at the fetid, rotting rump of Doctor Who. Another franchise on the way out.

Disney are in a death spiral. Would you lend Disney money? Well blackrock and vanguard will but only if they keep the DEI, ESG and bridge scores high enough. At this point only the parks are keeping their heads above water, but as parents are getting wise to the political grooming even those profits will evaporate. End game? No idea, but blackrock and vanguard will be left with the remaining cash.

Disney is essentially Hollywood’s version of Gondor

'Superficial diversity' - nailed it in 2 words.

We don’t watch anything Disney in our home, and I refuse to buy their products.

Im more interested in how investment in disney has recovered and growing, with the question of losses their making from bad movies, lack of theme park attendance etc. Is this woke investment quota? Blackrock, vanguard etc, pushing the agenda? Jobs being cut, selling assests, balancing out revenue? What could be the reason in the confidence in Disney stock?

RIP Disney. Good thing too. 😂

I have a friend who has worked on Disney productions. She said that they’re so paranoid about lawsuits that they micromanage how every communication is worded. You can’t even send an email to another person on the team without someone from management telling you to resend it written with the following words included… (insert string of very specific terms.) She said it’s exhausting and takes up so much time and energy that there’s hardly time left to actually make the film or show.

Refusing to participate in the delusional of others is perfectly correct. No Disney world anymore for me.

Once disney burns down. Will the franchise series become public domain ? You know, The IPs can be produced by the public for their own pet projects

Disney has not ideal the trouble they are in, they have done so much damage by insulting their customers and they will not be forgiven any time soon, if ever.

as a queer person I was initially excited when I saw that video games and cinema were beginning to add queer characters to their creative outputs. I thought it would bring a broader pallet, a wider selection of characters and content into the mix. But I slowly realized it was never about expanding creatively, it was about infecting art with a a soulless ideology and a spirit of censorship. it was about sanitizing the world and art. They didnt create anything new, they just tore down and vandalized existing art. Its weird being queer and cringing whenever i see the acronym lgbtq

superficial diversity. That's a great way to describe this agenda

Watch The Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic if you want to hear more.

The sacking of Gina Carano in Feb 2021 was the last straw for my family. We have had nothing to do with Disney since.

Bravo! A very well informed & excellently delivered take on the current situation at Disney

Agree disney movies are getting worst and what is worse is it has gone WOKE !

I’m shocked that even with there movies not making money that Disney still takes the same woke position… bring back 90s and older Disney

Why is the disney board so lame in continuing this abhorrent practice?

BUT......BUT.......think of all the lives they're saving and all of the "DIVERSITY"! Fun Fact: Last Disney movie I saw in theaters was Endgame. And even in that there was groaning in the audience. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has walked away. Also, if a movie fails, like Mermaid did, then it's not a "Blockbuster". People really need to learn the definition of that word. If it fails it's not one and it can't BE one before it's release because it hasn't made any money yet.

Blame bad writing for these movies

I’m desperately trying to get my kids to watch Disney movies but they refuse. Guidance needed

Cerebus observers that Spiked are fans of the Nerderotic RU-vid channel. Cerebus approves.

I absolutely hate their wokeness. But the bigger problem is that the films have lazy writing, or uninspired, or uninteresting to even look at. Films/ Shows with diversity can go do well, such as Spidiverse, Nemona, Steven Universe. These shows have quality writing, memorable music, and characters that are good people that people actually want to be. Still, Disney need to treat the male protagonists more seriously and with respect. They gave terrible scripts for Thor 4, Dr Strange 2, Indiana jones and star wars

The Marvel's was so bad I stopped it after about 30 minutes.

Disney? Does that still exist?

Basically they got sloppy

The more queerness they add, the lower their box office will be. And the drop won't be linear, it'll be exponential. Meaning ... they'll never make a profit ... ever again.

I feel sorry for Walt, his vision has been polluted and see what they did with the Dr Who franchise when they took it over from BBC.

While I don't have a problem with "wokeness" (whatever that is) I think, it is a stupid agenda to force on the viewers and even similar stupid to build a corporate culture on. Any "agenda" that is based on some political, religious or society believes that are not founded in basic human needs, should not be forced on others being customers or employees or companies themselves. I also believe, that it might be time for new players. Any corporation that becomes too big and too much of a monopoly is BAD for the customers.

I wouldn’t trust Disney to empty a bucket in a field if the instructions were written on the handle…

Frustrating thing is that they know they have an audience after Moana and Encanto. There's no need for forced diversity.

😂 meanwhile disney stock is at a 5 year high, disney 2023 slate is bested only because universal had release over a dozen more movies than disney and Elemental isnt pixar worst performing movie, its Onward from 2020. So much misinformation

A seventy-two years old, I remember when - living at RAF Benson as a child - our week of sequential Disney Films was interrupted by the news of the assassination of America's President Kennedy. I was raised on Disney Films; cartoons and 'natural wildlife' programmes. I despair at what the Communist 'woke' inserts (including the CEO?) have done to this huge American success-story.

... it"s maybe the problem of money laundering ?

Disney is done!!! This is the end of Disney!!! Goodbye and Good Riddance!!

Disney plus ? More like Disney please 🤦‍♂️

"50% of all Disney characters to be LGBT or ethnic minority", because those are the same thing. There's nothing wrong with having gay characters, or different races, where the story makes sense, or if they can write a story that does make sense. The problem is that it's tokenism. Like Token in South Park, was named all those years ago, "Token Black", the only black kid in South Park, to make fun of that. It's done purely to shoehorn in a box-ticker. It isn't genuine, it isn't sincere. It's tokenism and pandering. It's done witlessly and like the audience are too stupid to care. As if the studio themselves don't care. And they don't! Race or sexual preference, whatever, those execs are all rich! There's class issues underneath so much of this. But they don't care about any of that! They just, superficially, want to _look_ like they care, look like they care *so much!* That's what insults people. It insults audiences, and insults the ethnic or sexual groups that they're trying to patronise. Like those groups need Disney's wise and benevolent charity, as if Disney are even *helping* with their merciless, tedious, cash-grabbing films. It's the superior, supercilious attitude. That gets right up people's noses, instantly! We don't need telling what bigots we all are, and how not to racist by Mickey Mouse, because it's all so simple and we're so stupid for not getting it, so what we need is Uncle Walt to "educate" us. That's what pisses me off. I support supporting groups in society who have disadvantages for whatever reasons. But you don't do it just to look like you're some awesome amazing media conglomerate. You don't patronise the mass of the public. That's the problem modern "liberals", which is different from actual leftists, have. Incidentally, Leftists care about things like housing rights and affordability, proper wages, fair treatment at work. Not the Pyramid Of Privilege and this other cheap, performative nonsense.

They've been in trouble

Disney needs to be dissolved into seperate businesses now, or the entire ship will sink.

We need a new leadership at Disney! New CEO, board, executives, imagineers, ect. that are anti-woke!

The only really good live-action reboot was Cinderella by Kenneth Branagh. Unfortunately, because it was the first one it obviously gave Disney the belief they could all the others and this would be easy money.

Can't believe what I'm seeing ... Spiked is back from being woke and going broke??

All the viewers want is a good story. A story containing a queer person whose life is blended into any exciting, suspenseful, funny events all wrapped in a satisfying ending would retain views. No single subject presentations would retain views over a period. Not even those who feel left out would constantly watch something that is only : look at this (X) person, did you know they were (X)? Remember they are (X).

The Rise and Fall of the Disney

2:11 Queer: strange or peculiar

People want movies to take them away from the troubles of the real world not force agendas onto people and mainly kids

love the title !

Its almost like watching a party political broadcast rather than a deep and meaningful story. Oh...wait...that is indeed what it is. Its about trashing cultures and the heroes of those cultures, so that it can be remade in their image. If they werent so creatively and morally bankrupt, it might have occurred to them that creating compelling characters might actually be necessary. But like said, that would be to miss the point. The destruction of the old, so as to usher in their dystopia.

That why CEO will be returning push woke so fourth which his replacement wanted do away with.

Walt Groomer.

SNOW BLACK maybe a new Title

go focus and engaging with your 1% fans while ignoring the 99% fans who got Disney rich in the first place. go woke , go broke!

We must be thankful to Disney for giving us all an object lesson in how to alienate everyone with patronising, bellicose, politicised garbage instead of the entertainment of good, deep stories. It's an increasingly expensive pastime, but increasingly instructive. Human beings are not blank slates on which any old crap can be written; could I advise Disney to try reacquainting themselves with people rather than PC cardboard cutouts and buckets of "should"?

Gina Carano isn't just suing Disney for wrongful termination, she's also suing them for sexual discrimination based on the fact that male actors made similar (and worse) social media posts and faced no punishment for it. Also Gina didn't compare being a republican to being a jew, at least read her post before commenting.

Everything after End Game doesn’t exist, the same for Star Wars episode I to VI, I won’t let my kids watch any more of Disneys mind washing crap!

My sister went to the same hs as rachel. Rachel went to an all girls catholic high school

Hollywood is largely dead. They either try to remake great movies from 30 years ago (no creativity these days) or they try to shovel lousy stories with woke political messaging down the public’s throat. Disney is the worst offender of the bunch. I’ll get my entertainment elsewhere

Disney showed their cynicism by thinking we'll settle for mere representation and not care about the writing. Disney has never had very good writers and they seem to be quite averse to hiring truly creative people. Writers seek out risk through their storytelling. They tell stories that haven't been told before. Disney hates that, Disney hates risk. Most of what has been blamed on wokeness is basically Disney being cheap and too business centered. To them ownership is the key, not creativity. They paid for Star Wars therefore they own Star Wars, they ARE Star Wars. To them that was the accomplishment: the ownership. The executives are the heroes in their minds, not the writers.

Paris disney is expensive enough without the propaganda 😮never again😊

Hairline NBC

Selfish people are now, it’s all about me me me

Loving the editing on this video guys, fantastic.

Me my family and friends have boycotted disney for over a year and now WE ARE BOYCOTTING DISNEYS SPONCERS SINCE THEY HO HO HOED STAR WARS

7:20 I don’t think you should use this guy to represent all the fans coz this mf is against woke bs for all the wrong reasons

If you've got a message to send use Western Union.

If your audience is mostly straight, 99.999% straight, then cater to them. The statistics matter. LGBT in shows is a turn off for an audience who aren't LGBT.

Protect your kids dump Disney!

Cancelled my Disney+ subscription this month. All these recent woke shows and movies just feel gimmicky, dumb and worst of all: BORING

Snow woke.

Disney will be chestfeeding off Deadpool's teet...and that may keep a few of the execs from getting canned.

You are a more mermaid than it.. 😗

Walt Disney had a very dark past, so it's no surprise his company has chosen the path of the dark side.
