Part 6/9:

A recurring theme in the discourse is media bias and the perception that industry insiders and mainstream outlets tend to spin stories differently depending on the film’s context and cast. For example, some argue that Aquaman 2’s failure is met with open criticism, whereas The Marvels is often defended or overlooked for its shortcomings. This inconsistency is seen as rooted in a desire to protect films that feature women or diverse cast members, regardless of their box office numbers.
