With regards to The Little Mermaid most of the family movies that have underperformed largely due to the pandemic are animated which this isn't. Also the anti woke idiots will not harm the film's box office success.....online negativity from a minority really doesn't count and should stop being brought up as a barrier. Also I feel TGM 's pro military theme,like American Sniper 7 years ago,is such a huge factor into why it's done so well I can't see the next Indy movie,however good it turns out to be, emulating it's success given it obviously doesn't have that in it's side.

At the end of the day presenting non white people as villains in fiction wouldn't even be that much of an issue if it weren't for the current reality of the rise of white nationalism in the States and elsewhere plus the fact that Stallone in particular HAS made movies before, and especially within the Rambo franchise, that cater to and play upon certain insidious beliefs held by bigots and certain kinds of right wingers. The brutal truth of Mexican cartels is an irrelevant argument for this when what we have is yet another white saviour narrative that does nothing with the premise compared to what Sicario was able to do without any critics/ppl complaining 3 years ago.

Mulan is my pick for DOM and WW next year. Those trailer views suggest to me that potentially it could steal WW 84's thunder in the way BP did with AIW last year domestically.
