@silentchief: Wakanda Forever was a big hit despite having to replace dude with chick (and not releasing in China), Mario Bros was declared woke pre-release for having Peach wear pants but the Youtubiverse changed their tune when it did well, The Last of Us was a huge hit even will Joel's "race lift", added gay stuff, and positive depiction of a commune.
I had to look up Strange Worlds, forgot it happened. Jogged my memory about the terrible marketing. I heard nothing about it before seeing reviews, and skipped it because the reviews were bad.
Why do you think Wish bombed? There wasn't anything that "woke" about it, unless just having a mostly brown cast is all it takes. If that is the case, then I will conceded to the anti-wokes if Moana 2 fails.
But back to superheroes, fatigue doesn't mean no one will see any new movie. People will show up for Batman and Spiderman. But the days of C-listers making a billion are probably done. The fact huge hits were made out of Guardians, Aquaman, and Antman is the anomaly (seriously, Ant-Man. Millions of people watched a movie called ANT-MAN). Going forward, they should focus on a smaller number of bigger names, and not dive too deep with the supporting cast either.
