> What audiences really need are great, original stories.

Not mutually exclusive.

> The only cases when films by underrepresented people/about underrepresented people succeed is when their actual focus is to tell a great story.

They all try to be good. No one just casts a nonwhite actor and then stops trying.

> Regardless, this wave of wokeness shall pass sooner or later.

All of your favorite movies are woke as fuck. You didn't notice because you grew up with them so it seemed normal to you. They'd all be called woke if released today. Stop watching YouTube con artists trying to rile you up to get your clicks. This is not a real issue.
