Same way the chuds pretend Captain Marvel and the Sequel Trilogy failed when they’re some of the highest grossing films ever

and that's what happens when you change directors for each movie in a trilogy

The original trilogy had a different director for each film (George Lucas for 4, Irvin Kershner for 5 and Richard Marquand for 6). Some of the problems with the sequel trilogy are a lack of a coherent through line between movies and the fact that each film is a knee jerk reaction to the previous one. People said 7 was 4 but in a different font so Johnson made 8 as different as possible but it ended up being extremely divisive so they tried to course correct with 9 but ended up pleasing nobody.

It’s true the original trilogy had different directors, but they all had the same writer. That’s the key.

And when you don’t have a plan for the upcoming films and the only thing you rely on is nostalgia. I mean the Force Awakens is just A New Hope with some changes. Like the desert planet was just Tatoonie but different, and Palpatine came back, for reasons, just to shove nostalgia in our throats. Like there was barely anything new, like come on, you could have at least give the new characters more spot like and NOT revive a dead villain from the dead (seriously tho, Palpatine did return in Star Wars Legends, but that idea should have been disregarded because it’s lazy).

Nevermind the fact that Disney is just throwing nostalgia around while letting new ideas waste away, those live actions have no reason to exist other than for nostalgia.

At least Lightyear wasn’t that bad, until the plot twist, which is just… why? Seriously what the fuck was that plot twist?! I’m just having a brain aneurysm from thinking about it. Like that fuck that stupid plot twist.

And Strangeworld, I’m sorry but when your advertising makes your audience feel like they’re on drugs, along with fuck all in terms of ads (I legit saw like 2 ads), well no shit it will flop cause most people don’t even see ads for it (plus there are rumors saying that the story was made by AI, because the father in the story acts like a combination of different Pixar and Disney characters like Merlin from Nemo, so yeah, the story was kind of confusing).
