Imagine a world where the owners of an IP actually appealed to the fans of the IP. I know sometimes you can expand your customer base with certain products but certainly not when you try to do it at the expense of loyal customers.

The trouble is that the "good" movies have woke in them, just not much compared to the shit. So it's just another way of advancing the dialectic. It's either a lot of woke or just a little.
There's actually nothing wrong with having woke in films, it matters how it's portrayed
One of my favourite films, Demolition Man ,is essentially set in a woke world, but because it portays it as an authoritarian suffocating society just with a nice coat of paint, it works really well.
There is because it's an admission that the messaging is ok as long as it's entertaining.
That recent rom com with two white leads that did really well. Anyone but you or something. I saw about 5 minutes of it as I walked through a room . The background characters were walking progressive billboards.
Speaking of Deadpool, in the sequel the pedofile bad guy (very non diverse henchmen btw) in the ending confrontation's first phrase was "they will not replace us" something which was so obviously a progressive phrase referencing Charlottesville despite making no sense in context or the movie or other characters even reacting to it. Then immediately after Deadpool overtly fellates another Man but that's ok because haha woke indoctrination funny.
"Entertainment" is not the deciding factor for woke propaganda, drag shows are not magically ok for children if they're just really entertaining. They're wrong period.
