. . . No one left at Disney knows how to write decent characters or good stories . . .
Perhaps the ones who DO know how to write competently have received direction NOT to do so - the "woke" management may be demanding that the characters have a certain flavor. This is something that's been going on for a while - for example, in the
Battlestar Galactica reboot, Starbuck got a sex change. (I've read this happened to one of the characters in the new
Dune movie as well.) In the
Fantastic Four reboot, Johnny Storm was black, Susan Storm was white - they were siblings, so this was explained away by saying one was adopted. And on TV, especially on the CW network, there are all kinds of gays, lesbians, interracial couples, and such being made central to the stories. (see
Supergirl, Batwoman, the new
4400, etc.) In the comics, Superman's mission will no longer include "The American Way."
My late mother used to watch a TV show called
Designing Women. It gradually became a vehicle for attacking conservatives and conservative values - and when challenged on that for being the reason for declining ratings, the producer said she HAD to make it political because too many people were voting the wrong way. (Mom quit watching it before it was cancelled.) Most of us are probably old enough to remember the decline of the TV show
M*A*S*H which devolved from comedy to thinly-veiled political commentary. (Even Paul Harvey commented on that shift.)
Get copies of your old classic movies now while you still can -
Gone with the Wind has been targeted for racism, it's nearly impossible to find the original
Star Wars (Han shot first), in
E.T. the agent's guns have been digitally erased and replaced with radios, and just wait until the libs find out the dog's name in
The Dam Busters.
The media entertainment industry has become permeated with political correctness and woke crap to the point where much of it is no longer very entertaining.
