Let’s call this what it is: a pattern of harassment wrapped in the pretense of critique. Whether it was Ms. Marvel, The Little Mermaid, The Acolyte, or The Last of Us Season 2, projects centering women — particularly Black women or women of color — have been consistently met with a wave of bad-faith backlash from the very people who claim to love the genre.

Not wrong. But it does seem to miss the general slide in popularity of the rest of the Marvel franchise. Very easy to review bomb a movie that nobody else is interested in watching, because the genre and the franchise is utterly played out.

I suspect the "We don't make art at this company, we make money" bean counters at Disney+ will continue to take the wrong message from all of this. Given their rush to cancel a bunch of prestige hits, like Andor and Extraordinary among others, I suspect we're going to see a new wave of cheap, low-budget, heavily AI-driven slop content in the near future. The lesson we learn will be to double down on boring white dude power fantasies, because their standard for art and writing is so much lower than their peers.

I hope we're all ready for everything to become Rebel Moon!

Are you saying ‘their standards’ as in Disney executive’s standards or ‘white dude’ standards?

Unfortunately, its white dudes all the way down
