      They've not abandoned it at all. I was forced to watch Mufasa yesterday with my partner's family (the kids picked it and it's Christmas so had to go along with it) and we couldn't help but notice all the evil lions were white in colour with blue eyes. And the good guy lions beat the evil white supremacist lions with the power of diversity when all the elephants and birds joined their socialist utopian collective state. Urgh. It was subtle enough political messaging that the kids didn't notice it but all us adults sure did.

      If they had common sense at all, they would create another division and all the gay and trans would get along and throw all the dei propaganda, identity politics over in that division of series and movies. I agree with Dark hour. They would curse like drunk sailors, scream, yell, threaten and cry victim that they are being backed against the corner and being unjustly treated. The division would show them more clearly how small the number of people care about their dei garbage but impossible to make it happen with bitter, angry tyrannical activists at the helm.

      It's no secret Top-down management has become more and more involved with processes which were once the domain of people hired to do specific jobs as professionals. Films used to have a singular producer - the individual tasked with being the middleman between the studios and the director. Now we have many, MANY producers all involved in the daily affairs once relegated to the directors, writers, and other creatives responsible.

    I think there needs to be a shift at the corporate level, regarding the attitude toward actors. More and more actors are coming in with the attitude of "I am all that matters" and "this is MY movie and MY character and I can do with it as I want" and "I will use MY movie as a platform to push my beliefs". They need to be told, in no uncertain terms, "your job is to play OUR character in OUR movie, THAT is what we are paying you exorbitant amounts of money to do, and you are not to do anything that will threaten our profits of the film". I think that needs to be started at the contract level: add a clause that they can be released from the contract if they do anything to harm the image of the film, ie get overly political, say anything controversial, be Rachel Zegler, insult fans, anything like that. They're allowed to get away with far more than any regular employee can, and that honestly needs to change.

    I actually made a comment on one of Drinker videos about 2 years ago, saying that we would eventually see Disney change course, but it would be done incrementally and only start in about 2-3 years (so right about now). The reason being, they aren't idiots in the C-suite, they can see they were losing money, but they also had the simultaneous problem of having invested TOO much into this crap and there were too many projects underway, with too much sunk costs. Production pipelines for movies and shows is counted in years. If they had stopped and immediately reversed course, and admitting yeah we fucked up, and we are going to have A LOT of losses in the next few years it would have been received way more negatively in the stock market than what was already happening. Trying to spin things PR wise, and recoup some money was essentinally there best course of action, while they finished out projects already announced and in the pipe, and slowly shift focus on new projects .

    I've been trying to make sense of all this, and I have only one explanation:
    - Big investment firm habitually makes loans to Disney
    - Suddenly they require Disney to meet DEI targets before getting more loans
    - Disney hires "diverse" writers and produces "diverse" scripts, which cause multiple commercial failures
    - Disney's share price drops dramatically
    - Big investment firm snaps up the cheap shares
    - Disney eventually halts the DEI policy and slowly works its way back to profitability, and the share price is restored, therefore the investment firm makes a HUGE profit.
    Could I be right about this? I realise it sounds like a conspiracy theory. I realise it's a very long-term plan.... but then, the difference between rich and poor people is that rich people make long-term plans.

    I mean for a good pop culture example, Patrick Stewart plays himself in every role. Picard was supposed to be a Frenchman in TNG but he spoke an English accent, he drank Earl Grey instead of wine, and so on. That's literally just him. The only difference is he's not a bald-headed actor, but a bald-headed peacock in red pyjamas strutting around a spaceship having temper tantrums until someone in his crew solves the Problem of the Week.

    After seeing the outline of what they were going to put in, I think it would make a great independent short. It was well-written. There is value to stories like that... they just don't need to be crow-barred into mass-market media, especially for kids. Think of how much worse The Jungle Book (1967) would have been if they had squeezed in a message about Vietnam? But that doesn't mean stories about 'Nam are invalid - you just don't cram it into The Jungle Book. If you want to make a movie about that topic, you make a movie ABOUT that topic. Political stories are fine, self-inserting political activism is bad writing.
