Young guys seemingly like big explosive action movies. Their girlfriends go along because they like Thor’s shoulders. They like ripped men in tight clothing acting very male. Take out Thor’s shoulders etc and you lose a big chunk of your audience. The girlfriends. Most Latinos are more traditional gender wise than Lib whites. Gender bend and you will lose some of them. And while guys like hot babes in movies they really can’t get past the disbelief of a woman easily tossing around six guys who want to fight her. Movies require a suspension of disbelief. So they lose a large part of the straight male audience. This trans thing is not bought into by 80% of the population. And to those who do buy into it few really do. It is theatre and virtue signaling. Hollywood seems to think their current thing, while trending, means everyone is in agreement.
Re the suspension of disbelief. Why do guys suspend their disbelief that Peter Parker can become super powerful, but not Brie Larsen? All guys have been bullied. Even Mike Tyson was. Most guys don’t ever get super tough and many harbour some tough guy fantasies. Super hero action movies, even Rambo, plays on this. In addition most guys have a bit of a wannabe hero complex. Just as most women have at least a bit of wanting a hero to save them, (and then take them and ravage them). Most men and women grow out of the most absurd aspect of this by the time they are say 80 years old. And obviously some have these tendencies more than others. But this is what makes the hero flick work. Change the genders and it only works if the script and plot is exceptional. Which almost rules out every action flick.
*** “There are pockets where you go because you’re like, ‘I’m a super fan. I want to exist in the space of just adoration — which includes civilized critique,” she said. “Then there are pockets that are really virulent and violent and racist — and sexist and homophobic and all those awful things. And I choose the side of the light. That’s the part of fandom I’m most attracted to.” ***
When someone makes a movie and ignores what matters, people won't go watch it. It's really pretty simple.
You would think after the "all-female" Ghostbusters they would have figured it out.
However, when you consider that none of these Panderverse movies are actually designed to "entertain," it makes more sense. This current crop of movies are like sad period pieces. Only they are trying to mimic a period that nobody is happy with.
It's like making a Sci-Fi film about how the US gets a fake installed president, and the economy goes to shit. People go to the movies to be entertained, not to be reminded about everything they dislike -- right now!

South Park nailed it. Their "Through The Panderverse" episode trailer ends with a producer [when questioned] saying, "The problem is YOU!"
The article you link to is literally just that! What a joke. She said this:
