Over the last decade or so it has become obvious that Hollywood and specifically, Disney is more interested in producing content that adheres to a social justice message than they care about making money.\u00a0 Examples of this are plentiful.\u00a0 Every recent installment of the Star Wars movies and their spin-off television series has suffered heavily from this policy.\u00a0 And recently the fans have reacted to this decision by abandoning the franchise.\u00a0 And to a greater or lesser degree similar results have been seen in the other Disney entertainment franchises; Indiana Jones, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and even things like the Toy Story movies.\u00a0 It\u2019s gotten so bad that Disney has been forced to fire directors, cancel series and scale back earnings estimates.\u00a0 Which is something no CEO wants to do.<\/p>\n
I have heard that Hollywood is claiming that they\u2019ve heard the message and they will rededicate themselves to producing entertainment that is actually entertaining to regular people.\u00a0 Now if that happened, I would be ecstatic.\u00a0 Seeing Hollywood learn its lesson and focus its significant talents into putting out original and entertaining movies would be phenomenal.<\/p>\n
But it won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
The people who run Hollywood are social justice extremists from the soles of their feet up to their eyebrows.\u00a0 They would rather see their companies go broke than give up their message.\u00a0 They will keep pumping out Star Wars movies that feature lesbian space witches of color as the main characters until Disney has to shut down the studio.\u00a0 The idea that the ticket buying public wanted to see Luke Skywalker rescue Princess Leia with the assistance of Han Solo and that all three were white, sexually normal characters is completely unacceptable to them.\u00a0 They have the same message as the Harris campaign, \u201cWe won\u2019t go back.\u201d<\/p>\n
So that means the future of entertainment won\u2019t be Hollywood.\u00a0 And we\u2019re already seeing the alternatives.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been informed by one of my grandsons that movies are being made based on the fiction produced by YouTube influencers who write stories based on video games.\u00a0 So, a space video game has an audience of tens of millions of boys and young men.\u00a0 And one guy writes a narrative story as an adventure in that game and millions of these gamers read the story and because of this immense popularity a movie studio (Amazon or Netflix) produces a movie from this story.<\/p>\n
Well, there\u2019s nothing wrong with that.\u00a0 Eventually that will replace Hollywood nicely.\u00a0 Someone said to me that this won\u2019t avoid the social justice activists because all the studios are the same.\u00a0 But there are indications that isn\u2019t true.\u00a0 A couple of years ago Netflix produced Dave Chappelle\u2019s comedy series that was pretty strongly critical of the transgender agenda.\u00a0 When Netflix employees protested the series, they were told overtly by Netflix that if their consciences wouldn\u2019t allow them to work for a company that produced the Chappelle series, they should work somewhere else.\u00a0 And that put an end to the protests.\u00a0 I suspect that a home will be found for content that has an enormous built-in audience even if there is an extreme shortage of lesbian space witches of color in the script.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019ll be Netflix that steps in or maybe it\u2019ll be a new company that an entrepreneur like Musk founds.\u00a0 But at this point it\u2019ll happen because people are still people and they want to be amused and message fiction isn\u2019t entertaining.\u00a0 It\u2019s boring so something will have to give way.
