Interesting if true - essentially, Disney - and it's properties - are stepping away from traditional heroes because they think they've got that market wrapped up, and that the people represented by those more classical heroes simply won't boycott.
To be fair, I think they're technically correct - I very much doubt there's going to be an organised Soccer Mom boycott of Disney ... but at the same time I suspect they'll see that drop they're seeing now because, having focused on diversity ahead even of story, their recent work is trash and so people are staying away for that reason.
I mean, when they have the odd story that actually works you still get the numbers. It's just Disney - somehow! - is pushing less of these than they used to.
Is all just excuses. I bet there are some people higher up that have started to complain about things not working as good as predicted so they had to come with an excuse for it that sounded better then we hate men.

I think a lot of people forget that aspect when they talk about “Get Woke, go broke” failing. It does, on a long enough timeline, because normies do eventually leave. Stuff being woke may not turn off normies, but it being a subpar wreck does. I usually look to my fiancé as what Kurt Schlicter described as the “Militant Normal”, and she has been becoming dissatisfied with a lot of modern movies and games and retreating to anime and video games. Which I have noticed with many of my normie-minded coworkers.
Which is why I still remain optimistic we get past all of this bullshit and get something better on the other side.
