And about this topic as a whole, it's actually so annoying because I don't even like most things Disney puts out. I think Star Wars has gone down the drain. Marvel had a big slump and lots of shitty movies, and now they seem to have "recovered" into making enjoyable enough but ultimately average movies. They've gotten around to Alien now, one of my favorite franchises, and we're already seeing Alien projects that rely on heavy nostalgia and don't do much to push the series forward in meaningful ways.
I think so many of Disney's projects have poor writing and they rely so heavily on retelling the same old stories in the same old ways, just with a little thing changed here or there. I am critical of them, they've made me stop caring about a number of franchises because the quality has dipped so hard.
But then, consistently, if you ever try to engage in criticism of their stuff, you end up amid this circle of deranged bigots who think the problem is in having female protagonists. Who will literally see a woman on screen and go like "great, they just had to make it political". Brother in christ I think the Disney Star Wars movies are probably the least political Star Wars has been. They're not shit because woman. They're just shit.
