Sure - there are plenty of global mega-hits, from the MCU to Star Wars to The Fast and the Furious.
But I don't think you can (or should, really) separate a work from the cultural context that led to its creation.
"MCU" and "Star Wars" has not complaing of "being woke" by the majority of their own fandom? And in compare of Star Trek they are actually more people anti-woke people on the fandom.
As far as I know, people complaing about Rey for being a "mary stu" even with characters as Starkiller without the same complaing the writing just because he is a guy.
I never see women enoying The Fast and Furious.
If there's one thing people need to realize about the "anti-woke" crowd, it's that outside of poisoning online spaces, they don't matter.
They are very loud, but at the end of the day, there's not actually that many of them. The box office numbers speak for themselves.
And it's an anecdote, but the single biggest F&F fan I know is a woman.
I think it does matter in fandoms which are like the 60%, literally every single person I meet which like MCU is like "Dude, you remember that forced scene when all girls are in the same scene only for 'girl power'?"
And the movie still made nearly $2.8 billion.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's important to foster healthy online spaces that are free of that sort of nonsense - I wouldn't be here if I didn't - but that crowd is a drop in the bucket when it comes to the actual audience.
They're just loud, obnoxious, and spurred on by grifters.
ahh yes, as opposed to the scenes where all the boys group up for boy power
Why?
Was there a significant decrease in viewership due to that? or was it because all the MCU movies became fanslop that eventually the fans realized were shit movies?
