PopCon #59: Disney’s Woke-to-Broke Backpedal
Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew to see if Disney and other studios are starting to learn that listening to fans might be the best way to go.
Disney’s “The Acolyte” has been canceled. It seems that the show’s focus on “communist lesbian space witches” just didn’t resonate with the Star Wars fanbase. We wonder why? In contrast, the success of “Deadpool 3” might be a sign that Disney is starting to steer away from injecting “woke” content and getting back to what fans actually want.

Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew to see if Disney and other studios are starting to learn that listening to fans might be the best way to go.
