The act of hollowing out an existing white male lead franchise, by disgracing and/or killing off the original lead and secondary characters, to be replaced with women, people of color, and/or another identity, but in a horribly political way to ruin the movie and potentially the entire franchise.
Social Justice Trope Examples:
1. John Connor was killed in Terminator Dark Fate, to make room for Dani Ramos to add diversity to the franchise, and the franchise was ended due to this and the other identity politics introduced.
2. Star Wars episode VII and VIII systematically disgraced and killed off both white male leads to make room for a totally non-white male cast, and suffered greatly for its subtle identity politics. Such as the, almost, off screen death Admiral Ackbar to make room for the only purple haired hunan woman in the universe Admiral Holdo.
