They release other movies but the focus is very strictly on finding these same kind of franchise movies aimed at largely the same audience over and over again (young men). 

And a very specific kind of young man, the comic book nerd types. I know many young men who find Star Wars and comic book movies insufferable, me included (though I am maybe not so young anymore, but I was in 2015, and already hated this stuff back then). I got so fed up with Disney long ago, I don't think I have even seen any of the movies they put out since 2018 or so.

Yeah very true, it's basically the type of man who goes to comic book conventions. They've essentially turned their entire business model upside down to cater mostly to that one demographic. 

The best thing that could honestly happen to Hollywood is if comic book and Star Wars movies were banned for the next decade. 

Then a lot of these studios with big money to spend would be forced to try other genres, take chances on younger filmmakers with new ideas, and those types of movies are more likely to also create a new wave of movie stars. 

Comic book movies booming and the resurgence of Star Wars honestly was a the worst thing to happen to the movie business.
