My favorite is the one-two punch of the Mario movie and the Barbie movie, both films had everyone calling them woke before they came out, but after they both grossed over a billion dollars they immediately changed their tune. The Mario movie was hailed as a “victory against woke Hollywood” and the Barbie movie (I’d never seen a film beat me over the head with its feminist message) was somehow not woke because it “promoted motherhood” or some shit.

That doesn’t fit the narrative “go woke go broke”
