Didn't see that movie so can't comment on that. But coincidentally (seems related to the topic at hand), there's another show which seems to cover your dilemma - as in: the reboot of "The 4400" released last year. First things first - here's a trailer of the original show released back in 2004:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389564/
And then, here's the reboot released back in 2021:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9319770/
The original show had 4 seasons - while the latter was canceled after only 1 season (wonder why? π). Now, i doubt you'll see the issue - if you're part of the problem (i take it you get this sadistic satisfaction from triggering people - or at least you seem like the type / not the only one DXP - but hey, i get it - like attracts like). So I'll give a copy cat example - of what they actually did - which end-up triggering so many people. A fictional example (since i doubt you'll ever see in this day and age - impossible), as in:
Imagine yet another reboot of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" - where 90% of all the main actors (including the protagonists & the people of Wakanda) are white. And sure, the other 10% can cover all the other races - for the sake of inclusivity - since by doing that - the movie is automatically... not racist. After all "it's not based on historical events - but fictional ones - so the characters can be part of any race (despite the original movie, some book or a comic - where the characters in questions are portrayed as being black), no? π€¨" Furthermore, now Wakanda is hidden behind a force-field from Yellowstone Park - while the enemies... well, most of them are portrayed as migrants/immigrants - who try to conquer U.S.A. by stealing all the good jobs. π² And thus.... the masses of unemployed Americans keeps pilling up, many turning homeless - as a result... πͺ But hey, all is not lost - because Black Panther & his people found a way to outsmart & fight all the immigrants - even helping the honest hard working Americans to build a huge wall. That's actually how it ends (a happy ending π₯°) - with Black Panther and his people on top of the wall - shouting: WAKANDA FOREVER!! β
That being said (also, as was phrased by the OP), if you find above example triggering in any way or if the plot reminds you of any political agenda (propaganda) - that's obviously because you're racist. π₯΄

The movie industry - is at its worst cause of enforced political propaganda. I truly miss the old days - when they were mainly focused on creating quality content, not.... race, gender or whatever political agenda is trending right now.
To make things worst - they're also taking a huge dump on popular movies of the old days - the ones that made history - by remaking them following the current political trends. For past years - almost every movie released in Hollywood & Co. seems to have this political agendas as a mandatory requirement:
- To please feminism - strong (more like - heavily masculine), independent women are a prime requirement. Equal to men "or stronger" - even in the raw power department, cause hey... they're suppose to influence young girls.
- To please race fanatics - multiple races are also a prime requirement - people of all color other than white (black in particular).
- to please the LGBTQ community - some shades of gay are also mandatory, followed by the recent Trans political trend & whatever may follow.
Not filling any of above requirements - each of its representatives might hunt you down trying to cancel your show - for being misogynist, racist or x'phobic. Or at least - that's the main fear factor revolving around this unspoken requirements.
That being said... i find harder and harder to enjoy watching a movie this days. Just take the latest Lord of The Rings fiasco...
The movie industry isn't suffering because of enforced "political propaganda".
The movie industry is lacking in creativity. The genuine intention for inclusivity should follow a unique and curated storyline.
Maybe poor quality content stems from inflexibility/rigidity π€·πΎββοΈ
That's just it... it's impossible to be creative - if/when creativity is heavily castrated by "woke culture". And this "forced" exclusivity trend is obviously part of the issue. On top of that - the fear of developing new characters/identities - is yet another crippling factor. As it goes with all the remakes of popular shows from the past where the protagonist was a male - where they simply switched gender and now we have Female Dr. Who, Supergirl, Batgirl, She-hulk...
...or the most recent show: Rings of Power:
...where, as can be seen - flexibility (going overboard in all directions) - is actually among the main issues with the show. J. R. R. Tolkien was deemed a great writer - not just cause of his level of creativity but also being highly calculated - while detailing the characters and the world around them. Quite the opposite of the current writers behind The Rings of Power, but also the directors & they choice of actors (where the majority seem mediocre at best). And this TV series is "top tiers in terms of budget (at $ 58 million per episode - a total budget of $ 465 million - Amazon Primeβs The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has become the most expensive television series ever made)" - so there's no room for excuses. They clearly afforded the top of both fields (be it writers, actors or producers).
Even the backlash in question has the same issue at its roots. Personally, i don't/didn't even intend to watch Ariel - no matter how they made/remade it. The original was enough for me. Yet, the issue is quite obvious none the less. Again, fuck forced inclusion - that's BS. You'd ratter see a remake of Ariel where she's now black just for the sake of inclusion - or a new show, a new story of a Black mermaid - which has her own identity.
Here's an example of a show/story done right - where the woke elements fade away even if you point them out - and that's because all the characters have their well defined identity (neither is stolen or enforced just for sake of weakness). A show where inclusiveness is not an issue - simply because it's based on a game with 10 years of continues development - where chars were continuously crated/added - and they filled all the gender & race gaps (if you will). A show which does have strong & independent female characters - but again, this characters already had that identity within the game itself - so it's not conjured of forced simply to fit a feminist propaganda. As in... "Arcane".
But that's just a show which took 6 years in its making, so it wasn't rushed nor were the writers crippled by some woke agenda or remaking & milking the success of some past past show (like the ones mentioned above).
So you mean to say, the movie industry will suffer because they'll have less audience. You think, if they remake movies without the "woke-ism" it'll cripple the movie industry?
The movie industry already suffers cause of poor quality content - while being used as a propaganda tool (each spreading their own flavor of "woke-ism" ). Beyond poor writing, rushed productions & uninspired choice in actors - the investors are another crippling factors - since most avoid taking risks with new content (not generally speaking - at least, cause there's still exceptions here & there). So no, profits are not really that big o an issue (low audience) - since they mainly invest in popular characters/movies from the old days - "same as a brand" - a product that's already recognized by the majority - so enough people will still consume it - even if it's of the shittiest quality (for whatever reason). Marvel or DC Characters, Star Wars, Star Trek , Lord of the Rings & so on and so forth... they're all treated like "brands" this days. Milked for profit based on past popularity or spreading some political agenda.
Why do you think Squid Game - had such a huge success worldwide? Because the story, its production & choice of actors - came first, not woke-ism. They had strong female characters even there - but they weren't written and cast - the woke feminist way (where they put down the male characters - to make the female characters stronger & wiser - just for the sake of woke-ism). Instead, their strength was well defined by their past - especially their feminine strength, but more importantly - they imbued them with relatable traits, thinking & acting patterns (close to a real human being - quite far from "the alien like" personalities of some Hollywood characters). Also, forced inclusiveness was not present there either. Yet, not necessarily a risk in terms of investment - despite being an original take (since that type of intrigues - with captured individuals taking part in some taboo game - were already popular in Korea).
Who wrote squid games?

Lol because you provided Squid Games as an example, so I asked you who wrote it. You keep complaining about feminism and then added that Squid Games is a huge success but not because of "fake woke-ism". Our society enjoys those type of movies; violence, psychological thriller. The show isn't that deep into with what we've been discussing.
Sigh fake men.
If you didn't see the movie or not aware why it's so popular looked it up. As mentioned above - Squid Game didn't suffer from any woke-ism (as you put it). That's actually a good example - of a impactful female character done right. Somehow similar to the old days of writing a female character like - Sarah Connor (Terminator Series) or Ellen Ripley (Alien Series). You ask basic questions - where the answers are a google search away.
Sigh, shallow woman who always reads between lines. π
So you should have googled remake movies and how much they've made π€·πΎββοΈ.

Lol if you have a wider and more diverse audience, your best best bet to make profit is to make the movies releatable for the audience.

The movie industry isn't suffering because of enforced "political propaganda".
The movie industry is lacking in creativity. The genuine intention for inclusivity should follow a unique and curated storyline.
Maybe poor quality content stems from inflexibility/rigidity π€·πΎββοΈ
That's just it... it's impossible to be creative - if/when creativity is heavily castrated by "woke culture". And this "forced" exclusivity trend is obviously part of the issue. On top of that - the fear of developing new characters/identities - is yet another crippling factor. As it goes with all the remakes of popular shows from the past where the protagonist was a male - where they simply switched gender and now we have Female Dr. Who, Supergirl, Batgirl, She-hulk...
...or the most recent show: Rings of Power:
...where, as can be seen - flexibility (going overboard in all directions) - is actually among the main issues with the show. J. R. R. Tolkien was deemed a great writer - not just cause of his level of creativity but also being highly calculated - while detailing the characters and the world around them. Quite the opposite of the current writers behind The Rings of Power, but also the directors & they choice of actors (where the majority seem mediocre at best). And this TV series is "top tiers in terms of budget (at $ 58 million per episode - a total budget of $ 465 million - Amazon Primeβs The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has become the most expensive television series ever made)" - so there's no room for excuses. They clearly afforded the top of both fields (be it writers, actors or producers).
Even the backlash in question has the same issue at its roots. Personally, i don't/didn't even intend to watch Ariel - no matter how they made/remade it. The original was enough for me. Yet, the issue is quite obvious none the less. Again, fuck forced inclusion - that's BS. You'd ratter see a remake of Ariel where she's now black just for the sake of inclusion - or a new show, a new story of a Black mermaid - which has her own identity.
Here's an example of a show/story done right - where the woke elements fade away even if you point them out - and that's because all the characters have their well defined identity (neither is stolen or enforced just for sake of weakness). A show where inclusiveness is not an issue - simply because it's based on a game with 10 years of continues development - where chars were continuously crated/added - and they filled all the gender & race gaps (if you will). A show which does have strong & independent female characters - but again, this characters already had that identity within the game itself - so it's not conjured of forced simply to fit a feminist propaganda. As in... "Arcane".
But that's just a show which took 6 years in its making, so it wasn't rushed nor were the writers crippled by some woke agenda or remaking & milking the success of some past past show (like the ones mentioned above).
So you mean to say, the movie industry will suffer because they'll have less audience. You think, if they remake movies without the "woke-ism" it'll cripple the movie industry?click to expand
