With all of the recent flops, I feel like it's time to update the list. So far I have (in no particular order):
Concord, Dustborn, Ghostbusters (2016), Matrix (edit) Resurrections, Terminator Dark Fate, Watchmen (HBO), Joker 2, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Acolyte, Willow, Rings of Power, Saint's Row, Forspoken, Starfield, Unknown 9 Awakening, Flintlock, West Side Story, Charlie's Angels, Onward, Turning Red, Luca, Soul, Elemental, Lightyear, and Wish.
Edit: add Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Borderlands (2024), Cowboy Bebop (Netflix), Resident Evil (Netflix), Witcher: Blood Origin, Wheel of Time[?] (Amazon), Agatha All Along, Star Wars Outlaws, Velma, and The Marvels.
I doubt that anyone buys that pitch. By now everyone knows that agenda driven products don't sell.
It's more like do what we tell you to do or we'll make sure that no one invests in your company anymore.
The New York Times was running pieces saying that it works as recently as January of this year. In the last month or so, they've been saying that it doesn't, true, but admitting that is a new development.
OK, but that has to go hand in hand with at least some profits. Colossal losses time after time are not what anyone had in mind.
Part of the agenda. We see failure after failure after failure. One bigger then the other. And still they tell us that it works.
As long as Wall Street continues financing them, the CEOs don't give a fuck. They get their fat bonuses regardless. Even if Ubisoft collapses they just get bought out by a bigger fish and then they'll continue on their course.
Besides this agenda is not about making profit. It's about brainwashing the population.
Until recently.
Works best when people actually watch your propaganda.
Well, we're getting bombarded with it literally everywhere. Hard to avoid it. Just look at any advertisement. But yes, people are getting tired of it.
