Disney gets absolutely no credit for Guardians 3.

They let the woke mob bully them into firing Gunn and only brought him back after tremendous public outcry.

Then they let Gunn basically do whatever he wanted in the movie -- which included an entire monologue from Star Lord crapping on the treatment the characters received from non-Gunn directors in the Avengers/Thor movies -- and it was the only Marvel movie in years to not include Disney+ TV show crossover characters and/or multiverse arc tie-in.

You know this is true because despite Guardians 3 being by far the most profitable and well-received movie of the year, we all know Disney isn't going to give us another movie like it.  They haven't even really marketed the franchise that much since the movie came out because they know they can't make anything of this.
Disney should have done everything in their power to stop Gunn from switching over to DC. The man has shown that he’s one of the best when it comes to making superhero projects. Suicide Squad 2, Peacemaker, and all 3 GOTG movies were all massive successes. I’m convinced that the only way Gunn’s DC reset fails is if people just don’t see it because of superhero fatigue.

Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec are the woke mob?

Disney's Wish -- their 100th anniversary special princess animated movie, which should have been a slam dunk for them -- is crashing and burning. Just 19.5 million in its opening three day weekend, coming in third behind the second week of The Hunger Games and Napoleon. Even the five day opening total accounting for Thanksgiving is below The Marvels' opening weekend, and below THG/Napoleon.

Absolute disaster, even worse than The Marvels. And this animated movie somehow cost 200 million dollars!

It's clear at this point that the rot has set in all across Disney, not just in Marvel or Lucasfilm. People no longer trust them or are willing to shell out their hard-earned money to see anything they slap their name on. My how things have changed in just a few short years. It's great to see them finally get what they deserve for their laziness and creative bankruptcy. Turns out just dumping piles of money into uninspired movies won't cut it anymore!
