Its currently ranked as having the most abysmal audience recpetion out of any TV series to date
Even Velma and Santa INC scored higher than this.
This is what I mean when I say the woke shit is going to die out soon. There’s no appetite for it, it’s leading to box office flops of monumental proportions and now various corporations are starting to fire directors and writers who are pushing this content because it isn’t making money
Netflix is losing a lot of subscribers. They’ve had to make changes i.e different membership plans… integration of advertising under certain circumstances etc.
They might actually go under they keep releasing shows like queen cleopatra to take place/precedent over shows that were popular and well recieved
Who on earth thought it was a good idea to greenlight this show given the reception to films like ‘the woman king’.
I agree. While certain people like it (not Cleopatra, nobody likes that), it is a minority (and likely a small one). It turns off a lot of people.
I am fairly confident that the market can handle this though. Entertainment companies will provide what people want in the long term. Companies that don’t will go under, and new ones will replace them.
I don’t think Disney or Netflix will go under, but there will be changes. If I was making decisions at Disney, I’d tell the crew you better be making something that resembles our successful movies. Like is it that hard for such a huge company to make the next Little Mermaid, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Aladdin, Frozen. They used to be able to repeatably do it. Every couple years they would have a hit and make a shit ton of money. Even the in-between movies were money makers on average. They haven’t done so since Frozen which was a decade ago. It seems they should be able to develop a success formula by seeing what the other successful movies had in common. They also need to stop doing shitty live action stuff. Kids want toys from the popular animated series. Maybe I should apply to run Disney. I doubt I could do worse than whoever is making decisions lately.
You could make a movie set in the 1780s and 90s where a black Russian general is hailed as a conqueror of Ukraine, a black French general commands an army in Italy and where the villain would be “the father of the US Navy” John Paul Jones who rapes underage girls in Ukraine and gets into fistfights with Catherine the Great’s lover.
While it may sound like a fevered dream of Mindy Kaling, the movie would be historically accurate. Why weird and fascinating stories such as these are not being told is anybody’s guess - I suppose blackwashing requires less effort.
Ajvar is delicious, don’t see it too often in the States though. I have had Arby’s once in the last decade, it’s nefariousness was never in question haha
