#2its a tired cliche but Disney really did run right into "get woke, go broke"
I've seen interviews with the directory of She-Hulk where she seems to revel in the fact that the "fandom" was crapping all over her show...
"this will piss off all the right people!" is not a business strategy
they really did kill Star Wars
Marvel too
its probably too late to save either, as Disney thinks more bad, woke content is the answer to too much bad, woke content
its not clear to me why they can't replace Kennedy...its like she has an envelope with compromising photos and can't be fired or something...they should have exited her out long ago but keep protecting her

#4The new trilogy killed my interest in the franchise and I was a lifelong fan.

She's 70, so she'll be able to retire and never have to face the fact that she's an Adam Neumann-sized net loss to the world.

Yeah but its fun is done. They already spent the last season setting up Mando's departure from the show.

She-hulk is a comedy series on a streaming-only platform.
Their Star Wars movies consistently make >$500M, and that says nothing of the merchandising, amusement parks, and other tie-ins.
I think they're going to be okay.

#9> “The problem isn’t Kathleen Kennedy.”
I am not entirely sure that matters. Pissed-off fans undoubtedly want to see metaphorical blood for what, to their eyes, was a forced, ideologically-driven tarnishing of their childhood memories. At the end of the day, the buck stops at the top. Chapman was already punted as a general scapegoat, but is it enough?

#10The movies have been quite profitable even after Hollywood accounting. Without even talking about licensing and merchandising, how much more money were the movies supposed to make?
