Brah...so you are inconveniently annoyed by western virtue signalling warrants to perpetuate misogyny. First of all, entertainment is an art form. The main purpose of art is to reflect societal conditions. 70s Hippie culture, 80s Satanic Panic, 90s Gangster Rap, 00s PC culture, 10s Gamersgate, and 20s Woke mobbing. Don't you see the moronic right wing culture war talking points. It's the same BS with a new skin.
Get your facts right, TGM is only one movie you deemed non-woke but the remainder of box office takings still taken by your definition of "woke corporations". Pretty sure Mel Gibson is not making woke movies, do you see him doing big opening at boxoffice. Stupid comparison! So you can forgive Paramount Pictures for putting out TGM but don't chastise them for Annihilation or Scream reboot. Will you go look for Dailywire movies the first non-woke studio by Ben Shapiro. Of course you won't cause they don't have marketing prowess of "woke corporations".
If your think "go woke for broke" is real, then you are an idiot. Netflix and Disney stock tanked because they didn't hit the subscribers numbers and Ukraine war means they cannot touch Russia market. Netflix lost 600k subscribers because of the war and legacy shows leaving the platform as every studio launching their own streaming platform. The shows that retain subscribers for Netflix are Friends and The Office. Also what makes you think these woke film executives doesn't have the numbers that it's more profitable to target emerging demographic than appeasing angry misogynistic trolls?
Mark my words, in few years time the right wing will repackaged the culture war to something else. I do believe you are not a fascist but you are just "red-pill" by moronic right wing BS.
Before you making assumption that people are falling for Right wing bs agenda, why dont you examine yourself and see how neutral you are.
Look, we've talked about this before, women empowerment, diversity, inclusive, if its done right im ok with that (remember i told u about ripley from alien?) BUT NOT BEING LAZY
Take resident evil for example. RE5 (if you play the game) already established a strong black female protagonist name Sheva Alomar.
If they wish to push the POC women empowerment they could have just build the series based on the established asset, sheva against BSAA in africa aftermath for example. BUT INSTEAD, HOLLYWOOD DECIDED TO RACE SWAP WESKER AND MADE HIS BLACK KAREN "DAUGHTER" as protagonist?! And neo raccoon city?? Thats fxcking stupid!
OBVIOUSLY THE TEAM BEHIND IS FXCKING LAZY, DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL, AND ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR AGENDA
Same sh!t with House of the Dragon's Veralyon or The Witcher's black cast, instead of finding black characters, the creative team have to compromise to cast black people and hypocritically celebrate about it to fulfill the checkboxes in the industry, EVEN THE BOOK CLEARLY MENTION veralyon is Valyrian, which has pale skin and white hair..
But they decided to disrespect the origion for their agenda. And whoever criticized the decision is racist? Where is the freedom of speech? What happen to 1st ammendmen? Why the oppression?
That still sounds like Right Wing brain washing work to you?
