hollywood proves it basically every day
Ah yes, the franchise that didn’t actually “fall” and has a new film in the works. Gotcha.
You didn’t answer if SW meant Star Wars or Samurai Warriors btw.
True, if by “every day” you mean, again, “precisely never.”
Don’t forget the fall of Marvel comics. I can keep citing more examples.
the more they embrace the woke agenda the less money they make.
the last couple of years haven’t been exactly good for them
lol and keep having them thoroughly debunked! You aren’t very good at this.
Yeah I can definitely see how it’s the “woke agenda” (whatever that is) and not streaming services, overseas markets, the current global pandemic…
Don’t forget the fall of Last of Us 2. I think the list is very long.
Yeah it is like they have created an echo chamber effect where they think everything is fine but year to year the numbers show a decline.
yep. they grow more bold everyday. the one good thing here is they are not economically stable enough if the world decides to push back on them. there entire economy is built on exported goods and cheap labor, both of which they are struggling with.
China economic growth has increased the size of their middle class and also increased the value of the Yuan. China has been actively devaluing the Yuan to make trade more lucrative. My guess is they are trying to get out ahead of the problems this will create. They are trying to flex some muscle, but it’s still to early. The CPC needs to come to an end, how… that’s going to be tough.

You mean the game that sucked because of reasons that have nothing to do with being “woke” or whatever it is you’re mad about?
Protip: stop talking. You’re well past the line of embarrassing yourself.
You two might have just arrived at the first amicable resolution to a serious disagreement in GD’s history!
Seriously, thanks for arguing in good faith and being open to alternative perspectives. GD needs more of this.
they’ve been collapsing for years and you can’t watch new movies on stream services.
also overseas markets matter. but most overseas markets are actually more socially conservative than the us.
so thinking the woke agenda is smart to push overseas is absurd.
and overall their last couple years have been bad. the pandemic has nothing to do with that part
The infrastructure is also an illusion.
Even the major urban city infrastructure is decades behind. The rot is catching up because they lack the decentralized governance needed like a federal system to fix infrastructure.
yep. cities of empty housing. the housing bubble there is massive.
Absolutely not, it’s not for anyone to judge you. Plus, “woke shaming” is a great way to lose people.
I am not trying to jump in on your discussion, but I had been curious actually how successful those films were, so I had looked this up the other day. The new films actually do not compare well at all against the success of the earlier films, when prices are adjusted appropriately for inflation.
Here is a quote from a Forbes article listing the actual numbers:
Rise of Skywalker ’s $520 million projected domestic finish puts it behind Star Wars ($1.59 billion adjusted), The Empire Strikes Back ($870 million), Return of the Jedi ($840 million), The Phantom Menace ($806 million), Revenge of the Sith ($530 million), The Force Awakens ($965 million adjusted), Rogue One ($540 million adjusted) and The Last Jedi ($604 million, yes ticket prices went down a little in 2017 on average). It is ahead of only Attack of the Clones ($477 million) and Solo: A Star Wars Story ($204 million adjusted, yes below the film’s actual $213 million domestic cume).
Cool. So to confirm, you cannot answer why supposed “wokeness” is Hollywood’s problem to save your life.
Free advice, for when you have to use words again:
The problem of performative wokeness is real, and a bad thing, but you have to prove it’s behind whatever it is you’re claiming.
To fall short makes you sound like a lunatic, blaming “buh buh the wokeness” for things that are far, far more complex.
Bye.
right except i gave you a bunch of example of how it is failing in hollywood. like their falling numbers.
and your response is “it’s not failing because my fee fees” or something. anyway
If true, then all that means is that I should have said that the new films are still wildly successful instead of saying they were the most successful. Which still means that Mafic is a clown.
