Anyone could feel what this movie was without having to see it. And that probably scares Disney a lot more now, knowing that without the crutch of social justice, they have nothing. No path forward.
Remember, when pro-woke people and anti-woke people use that term, "woke", they're talking about two very different things. I know someone who is one of those anti-woke people, and he loves star trek. He loves the X-Men. He's left-leaning. Because to him, as well as to the other people in the anti-woke camp, the term was never about muh politics, it was about the systematic manufacturing of pseudo-sociopolitical shit to cash in on the socially-minded millennials and zoomers, as well as to cover for the fact that their best talent left years ago with no one to replace them.
They thought they could take the propaganda out and it wouldn't be trash. They were wrong. Because the intent remains, as does the feeling of superficiality that anyone with a working brain can pick up on in half a second.
