Disney is seeking original IPs to win back Gen-Z Men amid Marvel and Lucasfilm Struggles

Right! These the same folks that watch fresh and fit as well as Andrew tate tell them how to be a man

You touched on something much more poignant when you said how a lot of this boils down to a state of arrested development. Like the fact that people are essentially saying "it's ok to watch and experience the exact same content and story structure and not try or venture out anything new, and it's actually bad if people do change or try and incorporate different perspectives " and think that sounds reasonable

never mind the fact, a proportion of this stuff is either borrowed, tweaked, adapted or in the case of Stan Lee's thieving ass outright stolen. It's just fukkin' absurd.

2nd in command before he sold? So she staged a coup or was her value over estimated? Because everything under her era was ass

Disney thought having someone who has worked with and is in Spielberg and Lucas inner circle would make it a seamless transition. If anyone would know about mega scale blockbusters and have idea on Lucas's vision after say Spielberg it would be her.

It's Over for Disney Originality. They had the Blueprint, tossed it out and it haunts them forever.

They would get cancelled and people would feel personlly attacked if they tried to recreate this movie today

Bro it's bad. Like someone said they want a normal heroes journey. But then you see this same crowd complaining if the lead isn't a white male that gets the beautiful woman at the end. Because it makes them feel a type of way if it isn't the white male winning at the end and hurts their ego and sensibility about how they think the world should work. It could be something as silly as the Lord of the Rings show that folks was complaining because some of the elves were black. Meanwhile there's a whole Orc, dwarf, and talking tree in the back.

But I love Star Wars but hate how they're tied to the Skywalker era and won't move on because the OG fans refuse to let another story or protagonist take the spotlight

True. When you look at the top anime and manga of the past few years... demon slayer, solo leveling, jujustu kaisen, my hero academia, kaiju no8, etc... many have the same basic blueprint: (1) your typical every day (or below average) joe with more heart than ability (2) has an event that fast tracks him from afterthought to chosen one (3) but also puts him at conflict with new-found companions (4) and makes him the target of the big bad he ultimately has to defeat to complete his journey.

And while ths journey typically includes a strong female companion or two, once the mc gets in his bag he'll be on another level in power, ability, and capability than her (along with most everyone else). It's basically a gradually progressing power fantasy with life lessons where, when done right, is the most gratifying journey for a young breh. Obviously some shows like Solo Leveling end up fukkin it up by OD'in on the power scaling lol

Also unsurprising that the most popular american animation aimed at young men of the past 10 years (Miles Morales, Spider-Verse) followed the same blueprint. In retrospect and using that same narrative lens, you could tell Dragon Ball Z was obviously centered on Gohan (not Goku) even if the creator had never spoke on it after the fact.

Remember they said that the original story was that Goku was supposed to be dead and stay dead at the end of the Cell Saga. But the fans were in such an uproar about it the brought him back and put Gohan on jobber status ever since then

They can start by developing male characters that act like men.

Just have better storylines and writing.

Those forever lonely ass n-gga's will complain if they had Ellen Ripley in 86 on the screen.

Somebody this on BX in the F4 thread and they said to go the live action anime route because they're putting up numbers right now.

Vader was ruined long before Kennedy gotten her hands on him

Male Power Fantasy, that’s it. The assignment is complete. Disney cut me the check.

Spoiler: For my bonus

The male gaze

 

[Geordi]

Andor's writing and characters were great. I don't know if they could put something like that into the mainline movies that need to be more popular.

 

[Roid Jones]
