So it’s just captain Mary Sue, or Rey-Sue in SW, or Thorina Jane Foster, or Lady 007,or NurseWho, ... but it’s not everywhere?
Huh
That’s funny.
I'm trying to not include Stumptown, but technically it might be included. But it is really working well.

Try and consider the marketing and $potential of opening up a new genre. Super Hero movies were getting pretty stale, weren't they? How interesting is another white male super hero? So...how did Female Captain Marvel do? Just a tad over $1,000,000,000 (1 Billion) USD worldwide. You think the studio was happy with that? When something $works the gimmick goes viral, lots of people want in on it. Is Apple the only one making smart phones? They were for a short while - then, boom. Same thing with movie genres. We had western revivals for a while. Lately Strong Female leads. Everyone talks about it, it's part of society's conversation, it's big frellin' money. They'd be stupid not to mine it for all it's worth.
Uh-oh! Better plug your eyes:
Captain Mary Sue did well for one reason and one reason only... it was effectively a prequel set up for End Game. It was almost guaranteed a box office bang. But look at the aftermath since then.. Brie Larson has gone in full melt down. She was basically written out of End Game despite being pigeon holed to come in and save the day. The follow up movie ? Yeah, not on the radar at present, despite the 1 billion dollar party ...gee, why is that? ( I guess you didn't notice the interviews she did w/ other Marvel stars, where basically they ALL despised her, as a person ? That hilarity has its own *threads )
But it's not just about the MCU. It's, as I said, the wokeness of Star Wars, Dr. Who,
Basically the only folks who don't see this as a real issue are choosing NOT to see it.
For obvious reasons.
* See Woke Star Wars thread in ' other sci-fi series ', and Alita threads in Cinema forums.
** adding this for funs.

We just don't care? We got bigger problems?
Serious question: if this woke thing wasn't making studios money would they keep doing it as you say?
M-O-N-E-Y

You're not paying attention. This is Hollywood projecting their politics and LOSING money, and they're doing it anyways.
Star Wars attraction Galaxy's Edge @ Disney is a colossal failure.
Batwahman opened to the lowest premier of any SHEro show of its kind
Dr Who is failing miserably.
They even removed Rose Tico from SW merch !
These once profitable franchises aren't just suffering from fan fatigue, they are taking a nose dive because woke political nonsense is being shoved down the throats of fans who refuse to accept it.
Look at Gillette, and it's ridiculous ad campaign which has cost them millions in dollars. They thought they could take a small hit then force people to accept their anti-Male garbage, and it didn't take. So they had to walk it back. Sorry, too late.
It's massive miscalculation going on in Hollywood, big business where these pin head suits think they can just roll out something and have it immediately be viewed as ' new and edgy ', when instead it's just lazy and pathetic.
You watch how Birds of Prey does, and compare it to Joker.

It's not really an issue anymore, because it's ironing itself out.
Just as I've been predicting for quite a while, God Money is stepping in to fix everything. There's a very long and growing list of SJW-ism being removed from things because they're losing money.
Any sports fans out there may have noticed that ESPN only talks about sports now and ditched the political commentary, for instance.

Unfortunately, the damage is already done. Destroyed are the franchises of Star Wars, Dr. Who, The MCU ( now mSHEu ), DCEU, Terminator ( which c'mon, was already dead ) and Star Trek.
Looking back, it's a miracle that Firefly ever got made at all. Never could have that 'verse appear in any recognizable form from here on out. Not for a very long time, I hate to say.
Honestly... Space whores? The LACK of Chinese characters in a show where everyone speaks Chinese ? OMG, the SJW's would go insane!
Surprised it's not been banned already.

So..... Money. These movies and series take time to conceive and produce and make, so there can be a long time cycle to any trend. Sometimes it takes a while for a new trend to get through the system and see if it survives. Yes, they gambled. They can afford to do that. It only continues if it makes cash money though, as you seem to indicate with removing merchant and cancelling programs.

Again Money. Their social beliefs haven't necessarily changed, just the realization that it looses them money to use it in programming, check.

Yup. Money.
And a lot of jobs too.
The people up top don't believe any of this bullshit. They just heard the Twitter outrage mob for years and assumed this was where everything was all heading and were trying to capitalize it, so they hired a bunch of wackadoos that lost them a lot of money. Said wackadoos are either already fired, are in the process of being fired, or will eventually be fired.

Honestly though, how much of that was really any good in the first place if not looked at through Nostalgia glasses?
Nothing Star Wars ever remotely lived up to the original trilogy long before the SJWs took that over. My personal opinion on Dr. Who was that what little I'd ever seen of it was just decent enough to watch if nothing else worth watching was on. I've also never been a fan of comic book movies except for a few that were surprisingly good. Aside from Sarah Connor Chronicles (which, just like Firefly, was cancelled because of corporate greed), the Terminator series has been DOA on everything since T2. As for Star Trek, the only series that I actually found thoroughly enjoyable was Deep Space Nine (imagine that... Black Captain and female number 2 was my favorite by far, with great storytelling minus the wokeness bullshit it's yet another example that it can be done).
I dunno man. Most of this stuff has been dead to me since my early 20s or even earlier than that. Even when I was a kid I knew that Ghostbusters II sucked. Ghostbusters 2016 was just disappointing to me because it was purposefully made to be a shitty movie instead of actually making up for how bad the sequel was.
