There's a fair chance this is all marketing bullshit trying to charm the fans they pissed off back into the fold. They may or may not mean what they claim, though if I had to gamble I'd put my money on this just being meaningless happy noises meant to unpoison the well. My take isn't skip the movies, it's ignore the critics because they're all corporate. Don't go in the first two weeks. Wait until there's a verdict on if the damn movie is actually worth your resources.

The fact they're trying this charm offensive at all IS generating backlash from the noisy social-media yeastgarglers, though. The two states are not mutually exclusive.

It would work for me. If they completely ignore SJW's and make a movie that makes a racist joke, has a sexy woman acting feminine, and is otherwise irreverent and entertaining I'll buy my first movie ticket in many years.

It's not going to be edgy. It's going to be a nerdfest because bugmen love pop culture nostalgia.
