I think 51% of our audience is female, 28% of our audience is Hispanic. If we don\u2019t represent the people that watch what we make, eventually they\u2019ll go elsewhere because somebody else will figure it out,\u201d Executive Vice President of Production Victoria Alonso said during a \u201cWomen In Animation\u201d panel at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, according to trade publication <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/06\/marvel-victoria-alonso-what-if-annecy-1234774597\/\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alonso went to expand on her hopes that Marvel\u2019s move toward more progressive storytelling will continue:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFor the longest of time, we heard a woman-led film will never open. I say, \u2018Please check, Captain Marvel made a lot of money.\u2019 Then they always told us that \u2018Black Panther\u2019 was never going to open and that nobody wanted a completely black cast, and that made $1.3B. So you can look at it from the social point of view, the cultural point of view. But truthfully, this is a business. From a fiscal point of view, you are leaving money on the table by not representing. I think 51% of our audience is female, 28% of our audience is Hispanic. If we don\u2019t represent the people that watch what we make, eventually they\u2019ll go elsewhere because somebody else will figure it out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Alonso also shared that when she walks into a room she does a \u201chead count\u201d to ascertain how many women present versus men: \u201cIf there\u2019s only three women in the room and there\u2019s 17 men,\u201d she said, \u201cI usually make this comment, \u2018Oh, there\u2019s a lot of men here today.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She then admitted that viewing the world and her work through a constant political lens that tallies the representation of every room can be draining. \u201cI also don\u2019t want a room full of women,\u201d she says, \u201cI truly believe balance is good. The male, the female and the other, all of that is good for us. Is it possible? Yes. Is it erosive and tiresome and an every day chore? Yes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The numbers don\u2019t necessarily bear out Alonso\u2019s assertion that \u201cinclusive\u201d productions equal earnings, however.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to some<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/boundingintocomics.com\/2021\/04\/07\/new-rumor-claims-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-viewers-turned-off-the-show-after-blm-messaging\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=new-rumor-claims-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-viewers-turned-off-the-show-after-blm-messaging\"><span>reports<\/span><\/a><span>, audiences began tuning out of Disney+\u2019s last Marvel series, \u201cThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier,\u201d when it became clear the storyline would mirror Black Lives Matter\u2019s worldview that police officers are generally biased against black men. And, as Alonso pointed out, despite having a mostly-African-American cast, audiences of all races and genders flocked to Black Panther.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On her premise that representation is purely a matter of good business, Alonso also did not address why,\u00a0 given that a 2021<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/329708\/lgbt-identification-rises-latest-estimate.aspx\"><span>Gallup survey<\/span><\/a><span> found that LGBT individuals make up only 5.6% population, they make up more than 10 percent of characters<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glaad.org\/whereweareontv19\"><span>on TV<\/span><\/a><span> and were present in 19 percent of major studio releases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
