 Audiences are tired of movies that shove woke politics in their face. Spider-Man No Way Home is proof. In the middle of another wave of fear-mongering and restrictions, it became one of the highest-grossing theatrical releases of all time, making about $1.4 billion at the box office so far. There are several reasons for Spider-Man's success, including a heavy dose of nostalgia, combined with the fact that Spider-Man has long-banned Marvel's most popular superhero. But while those factors are important, several enormously successful franchises have lost a lot of popularity among fans who are tired of getting scolded by writers who feel compelled to insert their politics into new movies and shows. Spider-Man doesn't do any of that. Instead, it just tells a great story that's driven by Peter Parker's emotional core, and when it brings in heroes and villains from other universes, it treats them with respect and gives them each a chance to shine, even improving on the way their own stories ended. Who knows if Disney or Marvel will learn the lesson here, but the numbers speak for themselves.
