The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

[Scolenex]

Convert that hurt into rage and anger!

I don't want to sound like too much of a broken record! Even I have to give it a break every now and again.

"... Rey Skywalker is about as popular with general audiences as a treadmill at a body positivity meeting..."

That line was savage

From a certain pov I'm happy.
Even if the horse is dead, it's painful to watch its corpse beaten with maniacal perseverance. If a further beating will finally brings us to the end, then i welcome it.

I big FU in the face of woke Hollywood. While I haven't seen it myself, it is soaring at the box office. It's already making profit.

Honestly the movie looked like typical superhero fare with CGI hero and most likely fighting CGI villains and more than likely a giant sky beam at the end. Having that comment added is click bait. Do I think it's also Hollywood going back to its communist roots and trying to be antifacist again? Also yes. Have to kill off the legacy characters who they consider "problematic " and give us their new heros that "are for a modern sensibilities". I only know this version of Blue Beetle from the Young Justice series so can't say anything other than what I watched there.

At this point, I feel like i'm a sort of Jocker.
I just want to watch the world burn.

At this point I kind of feel bad for the non-Brie people involved. My understanding is that the actresses playing Kamala Kahn and Monica Rambeu are actually nice people and reasonably talented.

More than a few talented actors got their career damage by being involved in Star Wars, and not just the Disney Star Wars Disney movies. Ahmed Best and Hayden Christensen did exactly what they were directed to do.

Everything hinges on the writing. This might be worth a discussion outside this thread because it's not directly related to wokeness. In my opinion good writing can prop up bad actors but good actors cannot prop up bad writing.

Though, off the top of my head, I can only name one movie with good writing and bad acting and that would be Idiocracy.

I always felt bad for Hayden as he was good in other movies and was given a crap script and no direction, felt the same for the kid in the first prequel. As for Idiocracy, I hink the bad acting was part of the plan. I'm still depressed that the movie turned into a Nostrodameus level prophet of the future of the USA.

No point in feeling sorry, at this stage they know exactly what they are getting into. They made the calculation that what Disney was paying them (and the exposure they receive) was worth the potential career damage. Besides, woke Hollywood loves that kind of sh*t anyways. I don't think it is analogous to actors like Hayden and Ahmed Best, who went into well intentioned movies.

Good ol' Chato. I like his clinical, professional, and dispassionate way of looking at corporate media screw ups provided to him by his unique life experiences.

Here's a 30 minute video that provides context to the recent controversial Star Wars films announced.

But I can sum it up in one sentence.

Kathleen Kennedy pushed this through against the wishes of Bob Iger in a desperate bid to extend her contract and the movies are not likely to happen.


Note this is not a fact, this is supposition formed by informed people based on making logical conclusions based on available information.

Here is an 18 minute video highlighting Kathleen Kennedy's many failures and personal faults.

I'm not sure if it's everyone's cup of tea. But I believe this is...

we already knew that race-swapping is a one-way door.
It's bitterly good to be proven right.

Okay, so American media companies are trying to prune wokeness out and some are doubling down on it.

A lot of them are schizophrenically trying to do both. HBO seems to have pro-woke and anti-woke people among their decision makers. Why else would they cancel Batgirl when it was almost finished but greenlight that Velma series?

I am going to guess that most TV writers fall into three categories.

True artists, woke propagandists, and mercenary opportunists.

True artists want to tell stories and are probably threatened by or at least annoyed with woke BS, but if they are smart, they won't come out at work as being anti-woke if any of their bosses are woke.

Woke propagandists are self explanatory. If they have any sense, they are going to want to tone down their rhetoric if any of the decision makers above them are pruning wokeness.

Mercenary writers don't care about ideology and they don't care about art. At least not very much. They want a paycheck and will say or do whatever they think their bosses want to hear.

I suppose you can also judge a writer on a scale of 1-10 on writing talent and 1-10 on schmoozing talent (if you are Hollywood you have to be able to schmooze).

It really doesn't matter where a writer falls. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO MAKE DEMANDS!

The actress that played Luna Lovegood is pretty wise and centered.

The actress that played Hermione Granger has dove into new age BS and lost her mind.
