> Disney is simply not making movies anyone wants to see.

Disney just released Avatar Way of Water which made $2.3B at the global box office and became the third highest grossing movie of all time.

Also considering that every MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) movie made since 2008 is a Disney movie it's hard to agree with that particular statement. According to [0], the budget for all MCU movies since Disney purchased Marvel has been a little over $6B and the "worldwide box office" sales have been over $28B.

To be fair to the parent commenter, however, "Disney is making movies nobody wants to see," (the converse of the actual statement) seems like a less controversial statement which may be closer to their intended meaning.
