I think the bigger problem is that those same brain trustees need to be even HARDER on their employees from the get go. Pete Doctor is the defacto head of Pixar after Lasseter left but honestly even though I respect the guy as his own film maker, in regards to actually leading a studio filled with hundreds of fucking faces he is probably hands off for most of it, and so when a pitch comes into his door he probably doesnt want be known as a fucking hardass for shutting ideas down and get cancelled as a response for "Pete looked at me weird one time :(" and decides to just greenlight shit and leave these fags alone, therefore making shit movies.
Like look at Pixar's history in comparison to its contemporaries, when was the last time you heard a "Pixar passed on the most amazing film [insert movie here]" You see WDAS pass on good movies all the fucking time, Sony Pictures passes on good movies all the fucking time,Dreamworks cans films all the time, but you havent seen Pixar follow suit, you never hear a pissed off animator say "Dude there was this sick as fuck movie idea with guns and sex and violence" or something cool like that, but if thats the case then you also have to consider that you havent heard any recent stories of Pixar cancelling any BAD ideas either. What you instead see is Pixar greenlight a shit idea, waste millions of dollars on it, and THEN have the heads going "Oh wait this sucks we need to change this." You need to call out a shit idea for what it is ahead of time, and while you may lose a good idea in the process you can find another one but you need to weed out all the shit ideas first.
Although like anon said >>149964908 this movie was set up to fail, a fucking studio that was literally FOUNDED off of making original IP and you have an exec saying "stop asking for originals" is fucking corporate horseshit. KPOP Demon Hunters is one of the fucking hottest names right now and quality of the movie aside it is no doubt original
