Hate to break it to you but here's a reality check ... Hollywood is WOKE. Always has been, not sure what fantasy world you were living in where James Cameron (maker of the biggest Hollywood hits of the 90s/2000s) is a conservative, lol. Or DiCaprio is the biggest movie star in the world and really the only person left who can carry a movie (like Once Upon A Time in Hollywood) on his shoulders, is very woke.
A lot of the examples you're using are old as fuck to boot, most of these 80s/90s franchise retreads of the last 5-6 years have bombed. Because it's a NEW generation of kids. You're old dude, you're not the primary demographic for movies, just like once upon a time you displaced people of the 50s/60s.
These kids don't give a shit about Schwarzenneger, Stallone, I mean even Twilight now is "retro", that was 10 years ago, Kristen Stewart is 30 and old, she's not the "It" girl of Hollywood, not even close. "Retro" to kids is Fast & Furious, that's a retro franchise. Terminator and Rambo are fucking ancient.

Terminator was 35 years ago. So for kids watching it then, 35 years before that would be 1949. Imagine Terminator era kids identifying with 1949 cinema.
Samson and Delilah? Pinky? Come to the Stable? Sands of Iwo Jima? I Was a Male War Bride? Twelve O'Clock High? She Wore a Yellow Ribbon? Neptune's Daughter? In the Good Old Summertime? On the Town? 1949 Top 10 Grossing films. Loved by 1984 youngsters. /s

Exactly, I mean I remember talking to the neighbours kid about Charlie's Angels opening ... not only did they have no clue what the hell that was, they didn't even know who Drew Barrymore was, when I tried explaining the "recent" 2000s reboot, lol. I realized even the early 2000s are ancient to them.
The only movies from the 30s/40s/50s that I related to as a kid of the 80s/90s was Wizard of Oz and Disney animated films, but anything else .... fuuuuuuuuuuck no.
