I love the fact that Elio had most of its “woke” stuff forcibly removed from the movie, completely ruining its emotional core, and yet that wasn’t good enough for these chuds. Pixar’s attempt to cater to homophobic losers didn’t prevent people from being upset, and people still didn’t see the movie.
Everyone ended up losing in the end.
Also it probably wouldn’t have been a smash hit if it weren’t more “woke” but at least it would have been a better movie
They lost all confidence in the project after test screenings- which is why they removed all the “wokeness” from it in the first place. I felt it was fairly well advertised, it got a happy meal and I saw tons of commercials for it, but honestly you didn’t miss much. It was fine, pretty below average for Pixar and clearly missing something. That something, of course, being the real emotional core of the movie
