Lets give this thread a year's time, and revisit it, and see if Disney can stop man-hating, and make more male focused Marvel movies, and somehow revive Starwars, after almost killing it. A year should be enough time, to write a script, and make a movie or two right? Let's see if they actively even try, or are just speaking empty words.
*edit: following thread, hopefully a year from now, I'm still around and remember this thread, and I'll check back in.

Funny how that works isn't it, if you spend years shitting on 50% of the population, they're less inclined to spend money on your products. Who would have thought? |
Your right its 50% of the population... however its worse than that.
Marvel comics and Starwars are both IP were the majority of consumers and fans, are like 85%+ male.
If you berate and belittle and demean that demographics ofc, move goers are going to go down (if they are the majority of your fanbase).
Its basically that "the customer is always right" saying.
Disney falling for the Budlight strategy of going after a non existing consumer group, at the cost of their dedicated fan base (mostly males in these IPs). Sometimes the grow markets strategy fails, if it ends up hurting the existing base (who it was already catering perfectly well too).
