Black Panther was woke as hell. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't actually understand the term and is just being intellectually dishonest so they can complain about "woke" in products they dislike, but will ignore it in things they enjoy. They literally refer to white people as "colonizer." It's written, specifically, for the African/African American diaspora. The female characters were strong and showed up some of the male characters at times.
Since when is being a "Mary Sue" a component of "woke" anyways?

Lots of deletions, so let me clarify.
Woke: having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities.
That's the definition of the word.
Others use it to disparage people, which is not permitted here.
There is no 'woke agenda,' and any further comments in that vein will be deleted and bans may be forthcoming.
Had Disney actually made less money? I mean, in total, not just box office. I haven't been going to see Disney movies in cinema since before the pandemic, because I usually buy the DVDs anyway and I don't particularly want to spend that much time among screaming children. Now that I have Disney+, I just wait for the movies to be there, same with Marvel movies. I suspect many families do the same, especially those who have more kids and would pay horrible amounts for tickets for the full family. Disney also makes a lot of money on merchandise, parks and other stuff that is based on the movies, it's not just movie tickets.
I find it funny that when the topic was the strikes, the general consensus was that streaming companies, the greatest evil of current times, were supposedly making billions of profits that they refuse to share with the creators, but when it's time to complain about "woke agenda", suddenly Disney is losing all of that money left and right because they dared to show some diversity. (As if Disney movies were particularly woke, lol.) So, which one is it?
Slava Ukraini!Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred
I personally think the idea that streaming services are losing so much money is overblown/ludicrous. If they were then every studio wouldn't be rushing to create one.
I don't go to theaters anymore. The last movie I saw in theaters was Lone Ranger film starring Johnny Depp as Tonto. I am averse to crowds. And whenever somebody open their mobile phones in front of you, the light from the phone monitor is so distracting. It's hard to ignore the food-munching noises or noises caused by crushing of candy wrappers.
Er...didn't he...die at the end of the last movie? I didn't see it because, let's face it, Bond is a very tired franchise. It started to bore me in the later Brosnan movies, not his fault, just that they ran out of new things to do. As for the skyscraper thing...lol, I've seen that one a hundred times in different movies. I just chalk it up to bad writing.
