100% guaranteed said execs won't be watching South Park: Into the Panderverse, which is literally directly about them. You couldn't pay me to watch that Disney crap.

I highly doubt that most of Disney's fan base is actually fed up because their movies aren't "edgy" enough. Perhaps some of the Lucasfilm fans, but Kathleen Kennedy (the target of the South Park ribbing), seems to be doing fine. I believe at least one of her Star Wars movies is the 2nd highest grossing Star Wars movie ever.

  You're confusing quality with gross revenue. First thing that comes to my mind: Marvel movies gross an absolute shit ton of dollars, but the quality of the story is absolute dogshit. Yeah, she won't lose her job, but the quality of said movies lacks.

    You moved the subject, not everybody cares about 'quality' of movies like movie buffs (like me) do. Marvel is popcorn fun, sometimes better, sometimes worse. These are not even planned as some art-aspiring movies, so as long as expectations are managed everybody is fine, earnings at least says so and if you don't like whole genre then simply skip them. Actually, snobbish bashing of Marvel became such a cheap 'look at me' desperate attention grab attempt of teenagers that I don't take it seriously. In same vein as globalization protesters focus on McDonald for some reason. You have endless line of say family movies that are absolute nauseating crap from cinematography, storytelling, character development etc., among other fails of hollywood, anybody wanting to be actually taken serious would start with those 'gems'.

    Sure, but the thing that "Into the Pandaverse" seems to make fun off (according to the description in the GP comment, I haven't seen it) doesn't lead to better quality. Edginess doesn't equal quality, even if some people seem to think just dialing up the edginess-meter would make the films magically better. It can be part of a quality experience, such as so-called "woke" content can be, if it's done in the right way. But that needs good content creators, with enough leeway and time to make a good experience, same as everything else.

It's exclusive to Paramount+ so I expect that a lot of people, Disney or not, won't be watching South Park: Into the Panderverse
