2 That’s the part of fandom I’m most attracted to.

As they say, your appeal became very very selective.

3 Wasn't the Marvels a '60's girl group?

5 Iger has vowed to "quiet" the company’s culture war measures and, more recently, downplay the studio’s left-leaning messages on screen.

Too late. We know who you are and what you want to do. We won't be watching anymore.

6 ...For what it's worth - Ms. DaCosta split from the movie as soon as it was decently possible to do so and was curiously unable to supervise any of the reshoots Disney demanded.

A director not doing reshoots on their own movie is, to put it gently, unusual. I've seen a couple of possible explanations for this - one is that she was actually the victim here of Disney meddling in the production and said that if they made their bed, they could lie in it.

The other is that she knew perfectly well what was going to happen when it opened, and wanted to distance herself from it as far as she possibly could.

7 Ah, thanks to the director's deeply thought out explanation of the fan base, I understand why her movie underperformed: they're all Nazis.

9 As of June 2023, 8 Disney flops costing almost a billion followed by Marvels and Wish. Multiple series flops. Sexual deviants in the parks. Interfering in state politics to the benefit of sexual deviants over children. The purpose is the destruction of Disney as an iconic global image of America for Americans and the world. Similar to destroying Southern heritage imagery, to destroy Southern identity. Who would be behind such a thing? Probably the same entity gaslighting conflicts across the globe to spread US capabilities too thin to react to a major attack on ally.

10 Wish, after 10 days in theaters is already a flop with weekday take averaging about $200 per theater.

The Marvels took about 20 days to crash to that approximate level. Last Thursday, they averaged under $100/theater.
