Isn't that why they bought Starwars and Marvel ? because it was too female focused already?
And what did they do once they got Starwars and Marvel? Franchises that were probably like 85%+ male audience ?
They gave us Boss Babes, Marry Sues, all men = bad and root of evil, ect ect.
They did the entire feminist dream situtation, to appeal to women instead (ei. get more women watching starwars and super heroes).
Disney need to come to terms with it being okay to have masculine males leads, that go on to save the day.
Like let boys have their thing, instead of trying to appeal to everyone.
(turning male audience stuff into stuff that's supposed to get more women (at the cost of men dropping it)).
At the very least they should try to get rid of men hating, leads (actors), directors, writers ect.
Just don't hire them to work on stuff, where the audience is like 85% male. The Multiverse Saga (phase 4 and 5) hasn't been great.
I'd say the quality started dropping before then too.
And yes, at this point, I have super hero fatigue.
I don't want to see a mid quality, poorly written super hero movie, if I can avoid it.
I think what they did to Starwars was arguably worse though.

Yes, this is the crux of the problem in all of its ridiculousness. Pre-woke Disney was still in the business of making money, so they bought the two biggest boy franchises in history in order to broaden their base, to get the larger male audience into the fold. Then they were infected by woke along with the whole industry, and decided they need to get rid of the boy things and make everything "future is female"/"modern audience" and in many cases even openly hostile or at least dismissive to males.
So they printed money with the Marvel universe for a good while, and then they pissed away their keys to the kingdom in a blunder that will be studied in business history for aeons to come. Now they pretend they don't know what happened, and wonder where all the males went. It's a mystery indeed.
