I believe playing videogames was the biggest turn off, or ick, for women in a man. I think there's this problem that, relating to what Disney is now facing too, that there's a vocal minority, who aren't your customers, demanding everything to cater to them. The executives listen to them and end up not catering their core audience. I think someone pointed out that young men haven't been Disney's core audience pretty much ever and now that they bought Star Wars and Marvel, it's pretty obvious that the same execs who know how to cater to young women and kids are making the decisions to to keep catering to young women kids. |
^ this.
And people wont be honest about it, or accept it. Guys apparently cant have anything (or are allowed to) by women. Everything needs to be made over to suit them, the end.
There's even people here that cant accept keeping Star wars and Marvel comics as they were, mainly targeting for men, as acceptable. It all boils down to the same thing, men apparently arn't allowed their own thing.
Anyways good luck to Disney, hopefully another decade from now, they havn't killed off Marvel comics entirely. And Star Wars is still a thing, being made. Hopefully both are still semi decent or have improved as well.

Disney bought Marvel in 2009 and Lucasfilm in 2012, for a while they had the biggerst IPs for young male audience. After the Infinity saga there's been huge decline, although I'd give them credit for actually trying something new and different. The Infinity saga worked because the world had cohesion and you could expect certain quality from every film they made even if it wasn't that good to begin with. Now they're ranging from basically being serious like Quantumania or Multiverse of Madness with bad writing to something complete foolishness like Love and Thunder with bad writing. Basically what they had for young men is being driven to ground either by stupidity or laziness.
I think eventually the get Marvel and Star Wars back to catering their core audience after a reboot or two. Kind of the problem Marvel is, that they already dissolved it and integrated everything with Disney, so Marvel can't operate independently anymore.
