Disney has always been a female-centric brand anyway, at least half of their fanbase has to be women. I remember even in the late 80s/90s renaissance they had as many girls in my class were into The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin, etc. etc. Lion King was the only one that sorta leaned more towards the boys, and even that was very popular with girls.

In their recent history their biggest animated hits have been the Frozen and Moana franchises. Their biggest movie this year is Lilo & Stitch which has outgrossed Fantastic 4, Mission: Impossible, and Superman easily. The year before that it was Inside Out 2 which was a massive blockbuster for them. Moana 2 was a massive hit. These are all female led films. 

Of course they want to keep printing money from Marvel and Star Wars, but the comic book movie boom is probably over no matter what. Trends like that always inevitably fall off, 2008-2019 is not going to repeat. Sure you will have things like Doomsday do good box office, but the days of being able to just make any superhero with an OK script and make bank are over IMO. People have seen just about everything there is to see (cross overs, R rated superheroes, wisecracking superheroes, charismatic superheroes, multiverse team ups, heroes killed off, heroes brought back, reboots, etc. etc. etc.), there's not much you can do that's compelling and new anymore.

And that's good for the overall industry as I've said. Something else needs to come up and different audiences need to drive box office, you can't be relying on the same comic book dorks to prop up the entire business and having studios only wanting to greenlight movies and take chances on projects for that audience. Outside of the US especially, I get the real sense audiences there are done with the whole superhero craze. They've seen enough and even if you make a good to very good superhero movie (apparently Thunderbolts is quite good, I saw Fantastic 4 and it was more than decent) ... that's not enough.

What do you think the current system is for people figuring out their careers? Because I would argue that it's largely that people do what they feel like they want to do given the options available. In what way is the system I have previously described not what is currently done? 

My goal is that certain sections of the community that previously were shut out from certain options are allowed that option. That they're encouraged to explore that option if that's something that they want to counter heavy societal pressure against it from previous times. I'm sure there will never be just perfect parody between every subgroup of the community within every career, but it is certainly improved and my only goal is not to go backwards in those freedoms. 

Nobody who meets the requirements to be able to work, should be held back from it, but they also have to be able to meet the requirements of the specific role. No weakening the requirements to allow for them to simply be able to do what they would like to. If they can't cut it, then they have to try something else. If they can't meet the requirements of something they like, then they'll have to do something they don't like (as much), or try and start their own business.

Money is also a problem. If we look at work like anybody should be able to do whatever they like, and everyone else should just accept it, then why not pay everyone the same as well? 'Think you're more important and should get paid more? Sorry, not anymore. Just accept it!' Well that will never work, but if there are jobs people really like to do, that pay poorly, many won't want those positions, so then what?

The bolded is fine, and the rest is not anything I stated. Never said we should have the same pay for all jobs or change requirements. My goal is to make sure we don't miss out on the next Frances Arnold, Jennifer Doudna, or Emmanuelle Charpentier because we go back to telling women their place is at the home. Whoever wants to stay at home (assuming finances allow), cool, and whoever wants to pursue a career is good as well. 

I didn't say you stated that, I'm just pointing out that it's not as simple as, "build it and they will come". That's a start, but there's plenty more to take into account beyond that, both potentially positive and negative.

We're always going to end up missing out for various reasons in every situation, but yes, we should do what we can to attempt to minimize that.

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.
