The state of the box office does not mean that the objective of a media company isn't to (profitably) give consumers what they want. It just means that the last season they were less successful in that aim. But I am sure you can see that. Now you just sound defensive. I am not surprised. Not defensive at all. When I have Lovecraft, Capote, and Brando covering my back, why would I be? Hollywood announced the top paid actress in Hollywood is an Israeli. There's no hiding it. And back to the first point, it is clear that Hollywood sees movies as a vehicle for propaganda first and foremost--thus they phase out the white characters. They have Black panther coming which will die in China -even though they have said Asia is their main audience now. If you cannot see the inconsistency in their reporting I am afraid you are beyond help with it. Next you will be telling me the Kardashians were on tv because people asked for them. An example of the dishonesty by these "business driven" companies. Disney cast a mixed race woman for a character meant to be blonde and blue-eyed, and explained it by saying the mixed-race actress gave the best audition. How did someone who was not fitting the profile of the character get an audition if they did not intend to cast someone other than white? If Hollywood is driven by profit as you say then they will respond to the recent Star Wars negativity among audiences by changing direction. I will bet they will not. Even you should agree that if they care about markets they would not hire a director who said Annie Hall is his favorite movie to direction a science fiction action film. Clearly they were not worried about risks (as they claim when people ask why movies are getting dumber)..
