First step would be to rid all politics, social or otherwise, from their company. Let it be an artist-driven company, not a business one. If they would do these two things, you might see the return of their glory days.

You can have a message to your films, but if that message is hostile or patronizing to a large share of your audience, or delivered in a way that feels preachy and tacky, that's when it becomes a problem. Nobody likes being lectured or talked down to.

It baffles me that they even thought that they could release that many projects back to back antagonizing, patronizing, humiliating and guilting men, and that somehow we would just keep giving them our money. Like, they can't be that stupid, right?

But who knows? Maybe they thought that if they were able to attract enough women into Marvel and Star Wars, they would not need men at all.
