Disney's Decline Due to Woke Strategy and Decline in Quality of Creative Output
Disney's recent box office flops have been attributed to their prioritization of identity politics over quality storytelling. Criticism towards Disney's woke strategy has increased as major franchises like Star Wars and Marvel have faced failures. The overemphasis on identity politics, a decline in storytelling quality, and prioritizing quantity over quality have collectively contributed to undermining Disney's once successful creative output.
Critique of Disney's Approach to Diversity and Inclusion in Films
Critics argue that Disney's strategy revolves more around appeasing the woke movement than producing great movies. The underperformance of films like She-Hulk or Elemental is seen as a consequence of prioritizing diversity over storytelling. The push for diverse characters without a solid narrative foundation has led to disconnection with audiences and a decline in success for major franchises.

The focus on beauty and femininity in media, along with the portrayal of attractive characters, reflects a societal preference for aesthetically pleasing content.
