I can't speak for Disney's Princess films, but for SW and Marvel the issue is two fold.
First, there is a big quality issue. They've just been churning out crap for awhile now and it's caused a lot of the fans to burn out. Not much more to say here.
Secondly, they aren't appealing to their core audience. People can ***** about it all they want but films do appeal to certain demographics more than others. Boys and young men are those most interested in MCU and SW movies. But instead of targeting their core demographic, Disney has been trying to expand it and appeal to others. But it rarely works. And worse, the core audience may also not turn up.
The Marvels is a clear example of this. This was a movie very obviously targeted to women but they didn't watch it. In fact, the vast majority of audience was men. Or course, many men didn't bother to see it because it wasn't "meant for them" and so now the film is poised to become the biggest box office bomb of all time. On the other hand, movies like Barbie and Top Gun Maverick (both the biggest films of their year) focused on pleasing their core demographic and were massive successes.
A big company like Disney has a statistical research department that does a series of analysis and research on various factors to determine what is relevant today.
I was mostly talking about their characters being lack of development. And women don't want to see the movies because of them. They usually prefer good looking guys, and Prince Yan got like 3 mins?
And yes I don't think they look good enough as superheroes.
Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
Not superhero fatigue for me personally, bad Marvel media fatigue overall probably. It's not the same Marvel as it was before the Disney buyout. Everything is mostly boring now compared to the chaotically unfiltered fun mess we used to have.
