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.

Let's be real here, most of the anti-woke crowd felt "lectured" or "talked down to" when they found out that Gwen Stacy had a trans flag in her room in Across the Spider-Verse, and they found out about it only after seeing the movie through some random Twitter post.

If there is any kind of "woke" messaging of any kind anywhere in any work of art, they'll get mad at the "agenda" being pushed on them, and go on rants about how the industry is "attacking" men or whatever.
