Bingo. The subtext is not only text, but poorly expressed text. It's unattractive and clearly lacking the draw of older work (Marvel and DC comics attempts at woke did not translate to sales, Phase had the most woke integrated into projects and became a polarizing era for MCU).

And it's an irradiated element now. Ms Marvel simply looks woke on paper and suffered for it despite, imo, being one of the better MCU TV shows. I fear the same will happen with Marvels. Almost certainly gonna happen with Star Wars with what we may as well call Disney SW Phase 2. I'm particularly interested in Acolytes but it might not pull numbers because the cast is a red flag and it shouldn't.

But back to the point, there's a clear difference in story telling and tho people can't articulate it, they can smell it. And they're turning their nose.
