Entertainment banks on the audience being inspired in some way. To do that the audience must relate, ie must see themselves in some way, in a character. MORE WOMEN WANT A HERO THAN WANT TO BE A HERO. More men want to be a hero than to idolize a female hero. Female heroes that work have to be really quirky and goofy and be heroes almost by fluke. The original Indiana Jones movies had a quirky goofy female lead who was also sexy.
Good point, and it goes a step further. All males HATE being henpecked by a female. Girl bosses evince that same feeling, and men will respond as such.
I think far more women go crazy in the workplace then men, though the men may be catching up now that many of the real men with testosterone have been weeded out.
My first editor at the Cherokee Tribune was a woman and she was a great manager (tho not such a great editor), and let me roam a lot as long as I brought in stories, which I always did...tho she made some big editorial mistakes -- banner front page headline included "sequal" -- and got canned, then she got replaced by another woman far more severe and I lasted about 2 months after that.
My editor-in-chief at Adweek Alison Fahey could be a bitch for sure, but I have the absolute best things to say about her big picture, because she had my back as a reporter EVERY TIME somebody came at me. EVERY TIME and it happened a bunch of times. So even tho she rode my ass hard and could be cutting (or drunk -- Alison could hang with Don Draper), I would give Alison Fahey a 10/10 as a boss over my 40 year career.
Otherwise, I think I had no other female bosses. All my ad jobs were male bosses, they were varying degrees of okay; the first one in Baltimore was probably the most talented and interesting, but the second one in Bawlmer was the best. My boss at Shakespeare & Co. in Paris was kinda an asshole but also had his moments, and was an indisputable genius to boot. My principal as a high school teacher was a man. Family flower biz (six years!) I was my own boss.
I've seen women in positions of power, they do often seem to be much nastier to other women than to men. Some women do seem to consciously or subconsciously seek the approval of men more than other women (but not all). I think the whole concept of the corporate workplace may be imploding, the bitch boss as aspiration figure seems to be wavering.
You got me going! Are you the Possum I know from elsewhere?
I may or may not the Possum you know from elsewhere, although I am The Possum!
It's funny you're an ad guy, that's my background too. Advertising and tech. When I first got into the business (in San Francisco) you could smoke in the office, agencies had beautiful, fully-stocked bars, and threw epic parties. I can't even count the numbers of drug runs we used to do, with managing partners in the car! Yep, all the licentiousness of Don Draper and none of the decorum 😆. My bosses were mostly creative directors, highly alpha, and deeply respectful of talent and hard work, period. You made your bones by putting up with stupid shit and winning awards. HR basically handled payroll. I miss those days. Tech was similar until it became woke university for no talent whiners, and when HR became more important than the engineers it was time to take the money and run. The women were the worst, gimme gimme on the one hand and victim extraordinaire on the other. Fun times.
I love learning there is a new flavor of vanilla out there for me to try in my coffee: super-vanilla. Move over Frenchie! There’s a new type of flavor out there to put in my morning cup.
Following up on the solid theory that Disney invested heavily in FTX, there was another story that should have been big but went nowhere regarding Disney financials: In 2019, the SEC was tipped off by a former accountant turned whistle blower about Disney's dubious bookkeeping practices. For some reason, the story couldn't gain traction. I wonder why.
Yes! Thank you for this reminder! Another important story that I forgot about in the firehose of information.
He husband committed suicide (or "committed suicide") and then she settled, right? She had the rat kingdom dead to rights, yet nobody would write the story.
I do daresay that a similar scenario would not likely play out the same way in 2025. There are too many iconoclastic entertainment pundits on Spotify, YouTube, Substack. The playing field has shifted. Thank you again for your important comment!
“We’ll know for sure how damaged and toxic the Disney Marvel brand has become this July, when the new Fantastic Four film debuts.”
WTF? Are you an abused spouse? “THIS time he means it when he says he loves me,” only to be punched and then spouse-raped?
Maybe Disney is being used as ongoing MK ultra test subjects (LSD into their water supply), but these people viscerally hate the audience that built Disney in the first place. They are mentally off-balance – how else can you explain a public company that has gone out of its way to produce freakish, money-losing content for over a decade, and has destroyed 3 purchased franchises: Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, plus much of its historical library?
I agree with all this and plan to avoid FF when it comes out unless I'm convinced by enough people it's a genuinely terrific film.
My view is not so much the abused spouse as it is the brother of a junkie rooting for the addict to kick the smack & get back to work. But some people, like Bartleby the Scrivener, just don't want to be saved. "I'd prefer not to." Maybe that's the way it's just gotta go. Thank you for your comment!
One objection: the smack addict does it because, despite the destruction it causes all around him, he derives pleasure. The Disney crew does it to give an Everest-sized🖕to the vast preponderance of civilization. Yes, they might get some kind of BDSM pleasure out of it, but it derives from the suffering of others. The bigger the “bomb” crater, the bigger the🖕they believe they’ve delivered.
I'm not sure if that's what's going on or not -- I think at least some of them are "True Believers," albeit stupid and untalented. But the people at the very top, the Igors and the loathsome Disney Board, yes, I think they ARE evil dark occultists, child molesters and other assorted sex criminals trying to collapse the West.
Personally, I lump the True Believers in with the intentionally evil bastards in terms of their effect, because they never engage in introspection re: their adopted “cause de guerre” to see if it matches with historical reality. (The exceptions are so rare they prove the rule.) In fact, these are people who reject history as having been lived by people less interested in “getting it right.” Self-aggrandizing arrogance on this scale subtracts from humanity almost as much as criminals.
I lost count how many times I laughed out loud. But seriously... the "hide the FTX investment in failure in more failures" is a solid gold theory. Not just the money loss but the humiliation. Everyone that took a greedy little chance on Bankman-Fried ended up very embarrassed.
For one shining moment 2 years ago, I had a grudging respect for Taylor Swift who had declined to make the same mistake poor Tom Brady did. Then it turned out, alas, no... she had fully meant to invest but somehow missed the boat, which turned out to be a dinghy with gunshot holes.
Can't decide which one I like better... "Snow Blight" or "Snow Gigli"
Taylor Swift is being subpoenaed for the Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds wife) sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni the producer of the film "It ends with us". And then Justin filed a 400 million dollar counter lawsuit.
A lot of actors are coming out saying Ryan Reynolds is not the nice guy he portrays.
It seems like a Goliath verses David power struggle to me and that something bigger is going on.
IMHO Candace Owens nailed it a couple weeks ago when she put forth a ton of circumstantial evidence Ryan Reynolds is bisexual, leaning gay. That means RR has to live a secret life and that can make some people perpetually angry.
I'd also hypothesize that Baldoni & Blake were banging on set. CDAN has implied as much. She's notorious for that kind of thing.
I agree it is "a Goliath verses David power struggle...and that something bigger is going on." It's a Holly Wood cult magick war on one level already, as both sides seek to control the narrative through the control of language, but it likely goes much deeper than that.
Never heard of that guy. As you may know, Enty was very interested in the Chris Cornell case from day one and pushed the murder, not suicide narrative... almost as if it was personal. I knew someone who was in one of Cornell's solo bands. That person told me Enty is Jeff Cohen, the guy who played Chunk in The Goonies as a kid.
I've liked Ryan Reynolds, but it's clear he's been a Holly Wood "chosen one" for a long time...they kept pushing him at us over and over, but he never really got traction until that first DEADPOOL movie. He's most certainly one of those actors I like a lot more when I knew nothing about him. Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for keeping us abreast of all the Hollywood slop. My JOMO has extended for decades so these tidbits are almost more than I can stand, but well articulated.
You were ahead of the Zeitgeist! I love cinema, it really is Artful Magic when done right. But when done wrong, it taints the soul like a poisoned apple. Thank you for your comment!
Don't discount that Disney has been getting bailed out on the stealth with USAID slush or something similar. I imagine this to be the case for numerous media properties. The goal would be to further debase white males, heroism, and meritocracy, and further promote "female empowerment".
One note on the "girl boss" phenomenon: the reason they inevitably fail in fiction is because they do not exist in real life. It's the Uncanny Valley problem applied elsewhere. An untrained male would be able to stuff a well-trained female into the trunk without too much effort, and we all know this instinctively. Suspension of disbelief only works when our minds give us permission to indulge the notion, and this one will always be a bit too much for most people.
> "Disney [is] grooming the next generation. In 10 years these kids will be more woke than the last."
Maybe? Youth vote flocked to President Orange last election. Gotta remember, there is a significant portion of youth who will simply reject the mainstream because that's what young people do. I know what they're strategy is, I'm just no longer convinced it's going to work. Our greatest asset is that the vast majority of our opponents are stupid and stubborn, which makes them predictable. Thank you for your comment!
I'm not trying to contradict because you are partially correct, but speaking anecdotally, I work at a place that deals with pop culture. There is a super tanker shipload of doubling down on the part of both the pop culture overlords (of which Disney is one) and the AWFL* Single Mother set (who often also intersect with the AWFL* Public School Teacher set).
We have the potential right now to change culture and help out those kids who are rightfully rejecting the "mainstream", but don't discount the enemy's efforts to salt the earth as much as they can (or even take back the reins by amping up their Election Cheating efforts).
*I know the "A" in AWFL is supposed to stand for "affluent", but I've always used "Angry" because most of them aren't affluent but all of them are angry as a default setting.
I like my own riff: AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals), but I guess there's a suburban subsection of these crazies (though a minority in rural areas).
There's little doubt they will try to double down, it's really all they know how to do, but they've been doubling down for several years now and all it's accomplished is driving the Democratic Party to 27% favorability (and falling).
I think we will see further damage, but it's a loser mentality, Sun Tzu's "A poor warrior will burn down a village to rule over ashes."
Very good chance their mental illnesses also continue to escalate. We're seeing this demonstrably on some of the TV talking heads. But who knows? Time will tell! Thank you for your comment.
The strategy works on the weak minded and the schools are training them not to think for themselves.
Most kids are not buying the BS and the ones who are, will likely not have children so....
"They" (whoever CIA? comes up with the stupid ideas for genders etc. manipulations) are now so far from reality the pendulum of left right paradigm is swinging back to the right.
However, the world is changing and not for the good.
Hahaha! No, he was in that other recent big bomb MICKEY 17. Holly Wood is doing a bang-up job producing films outside the Zeitgeist that nobody wants to see and lose hundreds of millions of dollars.
RIP the old MCU, especially the original Daredevil series. It was a fun way to bond with my step kids last decade. Now we don’t even bother with the new stuff.
I would think most teens would love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Cobra Kai. I mention these because adults get these shows on a higher level.
The “kids” are in their 20s now so might have aged out of the cape movies anyway. But they were big Daredevil fans and don’t care at all about the new series.
My kids are at that magical age where they trust everything I say. (trust me I hold this power with respect and do not abuse it!!!) they keep seeing the trailer for Snow White and asking me about it because they know (the original) Snow White is my favorite. They ask me “why does Snow White look so stupid there???” I just tell them that some other people did a Snow White movie and it isn’t very good. They accept that and then they suggest we should film our own Snow White movie since we have all the costumes and they think we can do a pretty good job. (One of my daughters and I were matching Snow White costumes for Halloween last year.)
This is an excellent example of how Daily Wire walked away from a boatload of cash by not delivering a traditional SNOW WHITE. I think you & your family are far & away the normal silent majority. Thank you for your comment!
You piqued my interest enough when you first mentioned it that I watched a YT video from, if I remember correctly, a Disney insider who talked about the possibility that the company had lost a large sum investing in crypto and the theory was credible.
Since then I filed it away in the back of my mind with the millions of other things that are ephemeral but lead me to believe there are large forces behind the scenes going amuck with inexplicable actions which have huge consequences on society at large. (Well, inexplicable to a mere mortal like me.)
I can’t prove anything, but I can feel this evil force behind almost everything that is promoted in the mainstream as good which 99.9% of the time, turns out to be wrong, seemingly deliberately so in such a way that can hurt people who accept them.
“I’m looking to pique the interest of somebody else who might be able to prove something.”

Women don't like being henpecked either 😉
Which is probably why IRL girl bosses aren’t liked.
Give me an alpha male boss any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Women make the worst bosses (and I do speak for myself 🥴).
I think far more women go crazy in the workplace then men, though the men may be catching up now that many of the real men with testosterone have been weeded out.

Did you hear that you may now also buy breast milk flavored ice cream? Try that in your cuppa Joe. I’m sure Joe would suck it up!!

I've heard & read, but not sure I 100% believe it.

Not sure how old your kids are, but slam-dunks with both daughter & son in their tweens/teens when they were both still living with me were:
1- Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
2- Get Smart
3- Firefly
4- Community (Seasons 1-3 at least)
But LMK what you come up with, even if this isn't one of them!

Excellent article, as usual Tom. Disney even makes failing on purpose look horrible. Can’t they do anything right anymore?

A half century ago, SNL would've done that sketch. It probably would've been written by Michael O'Donoghue.
