Hollywood's war on its own customers continues as the star of the upcoming 'Supergirl' movie has apparently decided to flame her fanbase ahead of the film's premiere, because nothing says "box office success" like insulting the people you expect to buy tickets.
While specific details of the actress's comments weren't fully detailed in initial reports, this follows the predictable pattern we've seen from woke Hollywood for years: lecture your audience about politics, call them names if they disagree, then act shocked when your movie bombs harder than a Biden press conference.
Remember when actors actually wanted people to watch their movies? Those days are long gone, folks. Now we get entitled millionaires who think their job description includes being America's moral compass.
The Pattern Is Clear
This is the same playbook that's destroyed franchise after franchise. Disney's been bleeding money with their woke remakes. Marvel went from box office gold to audience rejection after injecting identity politics into every storyline. And don't get us started on what they did to Star Wars.
But here's what these Hollywood elites don't understand: Americans are done being lectured by people who live in gated communities and fly private jets while telling us how to think and vote. We want entertainment, not indoctrination.
"Go woke, go broke" isn't just a catchphrase anymore - it's a proven business model for failure.
The timing couldn't be more tone-deaf. President Trump just returned to office with a decisive mandate from the American people, Republicans control Congress, and the country has clearly rejected the radical left's agenda. Yet somehow, Hollywood still thinks alienating half the country is a winning strategy.
Fans Fight Back
The good news? American consumers are smarter than Hollywood executives give them credit for. They're voting with their wallets, and woke movies are consistently flopping while audiences flock to content that doesn't insult their intelligence or values.
Maybe it's time for these actors to remember they're entertainers, not politicians. But given Hollywood's track record, don't hold your breath. They'd rather virtue signal to their elite friends than make movies people actually want to see.
How many more box office disasters will it take before Hollywood learns this lesson?
