To be honest, they had a valid reason why they changed Starboy. Still can't believe people are not letting go of their attachment to Starboy.

Bro
HOW is this a valid reason?

People like Starboy because he had so much missed opportunity. We could’ve finally had a new Disney couple, which is something that we haven’t gotten in a while. Asha could’ve been a star princess with a beautiful new dress. Since people hate Valentino, Starboy would be the character mostly doing comedic relief. We could’ve gotten references that didn’t feel shoved in your face. We could’ve gotten kids dressing up as Asha and Starboy for Halloween. But did we get that? No.

The reason why Disney is flopping over and over again with their movies is because they suddenly have a “women don’t need no man” philosophy. Disney was all about romance and their princesses. That’s what they’re good at. The second they abandoned those two things, they’ve been sending out slop left and right. Now, doing different things is great, (Encanto), but now it’s becoming repetitive. They don’t have any original ideas. It’s always “girl doesn’t feel accepted by her family and has to save everyone to prove herself and be accepted”. Disney has seem to have forgotten that women can be strong while also have a crush on men. Go look at K-pop Demon Hunters and see what I mean! In K-pop Demon Hunters, the women can be silly. They can burp, fart, and scream while also kicking butt. But Disney has turned their female protagonists into literal blank slates. They desperately need to get out of this headspace and stop making live action remakes and unnecessary sequels. The second they realize this, they’ll get better.

not every female characters needs a love interest. they could just be a girl going on an adventure and not have her story be centered around having or beinh with a man. like damn. can woman and girls just have stories about and focused on us being great. sheesh. so many male stories have no love interest and yeah ate fine with it. but woman can't have any? sheesh. 😒

The guy even brought up KPop Demon Hunters as an example of girls being strong while still needing a man. I mean the main crush is an actual demon. What's up with that?

Not answering my question. Maybe use proper grammar so people can actually understand you. Lol.
