I see a lot of people make the mistake of thinking Disney is trying to take "boy franchises" and turn them into "girl franchises". If only.

Fact is, it's not about getting women to watch, and never has been. Hell, the whole reason they bought MCU and SW was to increase their low male viewer numbers. That's still the goal.
But Disney? Make something targeted at men? Nah, they don't have the interest or staff to do that.

What we've seen with SW and MCU is an effort to take a franchise men are interested in and then twist it so they "fix" what men enjoy.

If they wanted more women to watch Marvel, they'd have gone harder on the romance plots not strip them out entirely. We may look back negatively on the "will they/wont they" elements of both of the first two Spider-man franchises - but they were plots that drew in a lot of women. Especially Gwen in the ASM. Why strip out a proven method of drawing women in?

What else do women like? Fashion. Cool creative costume designs. Seems counterproductive then to remove any and all flair from the costumes. Make every female wear frumpy military coded attire.
Because they're not trying to get women to watch shows with these costumes, they're trying to get men to stop enjoying sexy designs.

You think butch aggressive Captain Marvel is for women viewers? They don't watch to see some bulldyke stomping around punching things. Cap Marvel is to teach men that "Look! Women can be badsass too!"

Of course this doesn't work. Men like what they like and if you dont make it, they'll leave. Same with women. What then ends up happening is a product that appeals to no one. AKA. Modern Marvel and Star Wars.

The rant in She-Hulk about how much harder women have it than Bruce? That's not to make women "feel seen", its to teach men in a way Disney thinks "they'll get".
>You want to know how heavy a woman's burden is? Heh... lets just say even The Hulk couldn't lift it

Women want romcoms and office dramas. You think they want to watch She-Hulk either? They're equally repulsed watching a muscular green woman shake her ass with Cardi B - a woman who's entire persona is being sexy to ratchet men - and turn it off.

Then there's the question of why do this? Why try and twist and shape men's interests through (ex)popular male oriented media? Maybe its purely ideological, but I think its just to sell this "new crowd" on all their other content.

If that all sound tinfoil hat, let me simplify it for you: "Where's the most potential for money?". It's not bringing women viewers into the already at capacity Marvel, its bringing the male viewers already there over to their other stuff.

The pitch is "Well we've just bought all these male viewers. Do we just leave them in the MCU pen or do we shift them over to all our female centred animations, shows, and films?"
But instead of going
>Wow, I love Marvel! I guess I really don't need sexy women to watch something cool. And wow! I never knew how hard women have it, not even The Hulk could carry their burden! What are some other shows and films about living-for-the-weekend women just trying to get by- Oh! Disney+ is lining up "Freakier Friday", what are the chances!

She-Hulk was so toxic they made up male characters just to shit on them.
Remember her Stoner Cousin that bought the shit with her name on it?

Autistic? Maybe. Schizo? I think you got that backwards brother

These people are lunatics who still don't understand that women went to see these movies to see the hot men not other women, it was the best of both worlds and now it appeals to no one but fat xitter users

They are selling to their imaginary concept of what the audience should be like, not an audience that exists in real life.
