its a tired cliche but Disney really did run right into "get woke, go broke"

I've seen interviews with the directory of She-Hulk where she seems to revel in the fact that the "fandom" was crapping all over her show...

"this will piss off all the right people!" is not a business strategy

they really did kill Star Wars

Marvel too

its probably too late to save either, as Disney thinks more bad, woke content is the answer to too much bad, woke content

its not clear to me why they can't replace Kennedy...its like she has an envelope with compromising photos and can't be fired or something...they should have exited her out long ago but keep protecting her

She-hulk is a comedy series on a streaming-only platform.

Their Star Wars movies consistently make >$500M, and that says nothing of the merchandising, amusement parks, and other tie-ins.

I think they're going to be okay.

huh? Solo LOST money
Yes, of the 5 modern star wars movies, Solo "only" made $213M. The other 4 made over $500M each.

And Solo lost money because they claimed it was ludicrously expensive. $213M is a solid amount for 99% of movies. Anyways, was it actually that expensive, or is it just Hollywood accounting?

She's 70, so she'll be able to retire and never have to face the fact that she's an Adam Neumann-sized net loss to the world.
