Maybe you don't.... But it shows that there are thing way worse than anything Disney does.

Disney needs to step up its Story telling game… it’s weak right now

Last Jedi killed Star Wars momentum. Spin it anyway you want but that was worse than the Superman 4 trash. Rain Johnson is a solid filmmaker but Last Jedi killed the Skywalker saga. Lucasfilm has been trying to dig themselves out of that hole ever since.
No spin-offs with sequel cast, no movies on the horizon and it feels like no direction with Disney+ Star Wars. I did like Andor, cool prequel to Rouge one.

Mando 3 has been a great season but everyone has opinions to what they like and what they don’t.
It hasn’t been. Show has lost its mojo. It’s been average. That’s unacceptable for the future of Star Wars. Feeling more like B. J. and the Bear from 1979. It’s boring and the audience is turning away. Why? https://www.sportskeeda.com/comics/the-mandalorian-season-3-ratings-signal-worrying-future-disney

Again what you are saying is called an opinion and not a fact. I can attach a link to what that means but I’m sure you can look it up.
It’s not an opinion, audience is leaving the show. Why?

Well I assumed you knew what an opinion was but clearly I was wrong. So here you go:
Definition of OPINION
a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter; approval, esteem; belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge… See the full definition

“The show's total minutes viewed dropped by 200 million, representing a decline of about 20%. This trend concerns Disney, as the Mandalorian is their flagship show that helped launch Disney Plus.”
You are a huge fan… why is this show losing traction?

I don't think there's one answer but perhaps a combo of many reasons
First I can think of is Season 3 is 'off-season' from previous releases. Not only has there been a 2+ year gap between Season 2 and 3, but the previous seasons were released in the fall/winter. Unless you're following closely, casual fans may not even know it has been released.
Similar the post-Endgame films being hard to top Thanos, it's hard to top Luke Skywalker showing up in the finale. Coupled with the mixed reception for Book of Boba Fett and Grogu/Luke's story being resolved in that show, the causal viewer perhaps isn't as interested to go back to the contained episodic serials of Season 1.
And then you get to the content of Season 3 itself. Everyone can like what they want but unfortunately I find this season to be extremely boring. I say unfortunately because as a fan of the characters the last thing I want is to not like it. But with 3/4 of the season complete, it's like we're just doing side-quests after the main show has finished.

Again, there are plenty of writers of new stuff. The execs don't write the material, they reject or greenlight it like any other studio. They just don't want to greenlight anything that will automatically or most likely fail. That pretty much encompasses any new material unfortunately. They NEED more new material on D+ is what they need. The D+ new material is way too kiddie as if the entire streaming service is Disney Channel.
So it's not laziness at all. It's a reasonable fear of failure and loss of hundreds of millions on movies that are almost certain to bomb because the studio will not foot the bill for things the public almost certainly will reject.

I agree with your points. I think you nailed it
Agree Disney+ for the most part is too kiddie. Great comparison to Disney Channel. That needs to turn around fast.
Hopefully Indiana Jones, Guardians, Haunted Mansion are all fan favorites on the big screen and elemental soars at box office.
This looks awesome
capitalism joke is typical Hollywood/Disney B.S.
that’s not gonna play well.

I disagree. I think Eternals is better than The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, the First Avenger, Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Iron Man 3, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Spider-man Far From Home, Avengers Age of Ultron, Avengers Endgame, Thor: Love and Thunder, and all three Ant-man films.

i thought the last few animated outings haven’t been that good either. watchable, but not memorable. mandalorian is still good but not as good as seasons 1-2. i’ll admit i felt the storytelling seems to have weakened a bit. i do have better expectations for what they have coming out this year. i hope they can turn it around.
I’m worried but Indy looks great. Crosses fingers. Haunted Mansion looks promising. Guardians should be good.
I’ve lost faith recently with Disney animation. See what Elemental brings to the table.

The trailer for Haunted Mansion does look good. I feel like Elemental is just a reworking of Inside Out. Seems like Disney animation lost it's luster when John Lassiter was forced it. And I can totally agree with why they forced him out. Luck was pretty good, a movie that he did. I think the harassment that he did was awful though.

Everyone has their own opinions but Elemental looks great. Hopefully it’s a huge hit.
