    To be completely honest, I didn’t even hear about this movie at all until like 2 weeks ago and I just assumed they’d release it as a Disney+ exclusive or something. I even went to a movie theater like a month ago and I heard absolutely nothing about it. Anecdotally, this tells me their marketing team had no faith in their product, so why should anyone else?

      Which is sad, because apparently they spent quite a bit on marketing. I think their problem is they’re trying to get other markets to watch like women, lgbqt, kids, ect. But in doing do they ailenated like 90% of their core customers, then they’re shocked about it.

      And you’re right, the problem with this movie is it wasn’t really “bad” but it shouldn’t have been made a full blown theatre move. It should have been a Disney+ $20 rental or something then make a season 4 for normal steaming.

        Why would anyone make a movie to cater just to get the ~20% of the population that are white straight males? Movies are hard enough to make profitably. Why would you focus on such a miniscule market as straight white males?

        Or, you know, Just release it on Disney+, for Disney+ subscribers, who already pay for it by subscribing to Disney+, instead of being a cunting multi-billion dollar company thats trying to double dip on customers during a financial crisis, and expecting them to pay more, just to keep getting the shit they’ve been watching, because you decided for no good reason to switch platforms for no justifiable reason outside of corporate greed.

        I fucking hate when they do this shit. Disney is also guilty of it with other properties, like Kingdom Hearts… Oh, want to know all the story? Go buy 10+ platforms and twice as many games to understand what the fucks going on…
