Disney Wants Ideas For Movies That Will Appeal To Young Men. I Have A Few
John Daniel Davidson
Making original films for young men isn’t that hard, but you have to quit pushing gay race communism and appeal to masculine virtue.
Executives at Walt Disney Studios are reportedly pressing Hollywood creatives for movie ideas that will bring young men back to the theaters. According to Variety, Disney is hoping to get Gen Z men, which it defines as ages 13 to 28, interested in original films.
“The sources say Disney has been seeking new IP and pitches such as splashy global adventures and treasure hunts, as well as seasonal fare like films for the Halloween corridor,” Variety reports. “The calls come as the Star Wars machine struggles to produce any film project and the superhero genre sheds audiences by the minute.”
Disney of course made a fortune churning out forgettable Marvel superhero films and much-maligned Star Wars entries over the last two decades. But thanks largely to Disney’s mismanagement, those wells have run dry. So the studio is looking for something to draw young men back to the cinema.
No one asked me, but I have a few ideas — and some advice — that I’ll throw out there all the same.
First the advice. You know what doesn’t appeal to young men? Girlboss BIPOC heroines who beat up men twice their size. Villains who are all straight white men. Everything being gay. Constantly being lectured to and propagandized about DEI and LGBT stuff. Young men hate that. As Jesse Kelly aptly put it on X, “You cannot appeal to young men with ‘girl power’ crap. You cannot appeal to young men by gaying everything up as much as possible. Those two things are central pillars of the cultural Marxist worldview. Therefore, young men will continue to reject them.”
