    Thanks for watching everyone & let me know what you think. I will never bend my knee when it comes to Robert Downey Jr as Kurt Lazarus or anything else I find funny.
    So screw Hollywood & their woke identity politics, I’m tired of them & the post woke era is coming.

      I don't care what anyone says, as a black man I, and everybody I know who watched Tropic Thunder, found Robert Downey Jr's character to be the best part of that entire movie.
      Not a single person I know was offended by RDJ playing a black man, hell I was even impressed how well he pulled that look off tbh.
      That movie is pure gold and is considered a damn comedy classic as far as movies are concerned.
      Fuck anyone who tried to say that movie is racist, RDJ's scene in the trailer was the reason my entire family even went to the movies to see Tropic Thunder.

    One major problem with strong women in modern movies recently is that they are badly written, Rey and Captain Marvel are perfect examples of strong female characters who are badly written in movies. A good example of a badass female character that's well written is Rita played by Emily Blunt from Edge of Tomorrow and The Bride played by Uma Thurman from the Kill Bill films.

      300 doesn't change history, it enhances true events and shares the same message the real Spartans acomplished.
      Few marched against many, few stood against Tyrany and through mathyrdom helped unite Greece to drive out the invaders.
      The Mummy is comeplete fantasy, so is tge rest.
      The Woman King glorifies one of the Worse Kingdoms to ever exsist. And conviniently hides all the dark Aspects of said culture. Like Slavery, being a provider of black slaves to the white invaders, and practicing human sacrafice.
      300 for example showed you how they leave babies to die if unworthy, let children beat and kill each other. And how one of said outcastd is treated despote his loyalty.
      So despite 300 being based on a comic thats based on history its even more accurate then the woman king who tries to base itself on history.
      And like it was mentioned, its like a movie about the Nazi rule but we leave out all the Holochaust and dont talk how you had to obey or your family and you vanished etc. Just good flurishing Germany at that time.

The word woke means your third eye is open and you have knowledge of self.

      I think part of it is how America gives so much emphasis on race. Every news piece and every study and report has to involve race like black and brown, Asian, Hispanic, etc. compared to white. Movies and TV shows featuring Chinese families are celebrated as "Asian" representation instead of Chinese Americans. South Asians are grouped with East Asians as just Asians while Middle Easterners and North Africans are grouped with whites on the census. Race division in America has nothing to do with culture and heritage at all and that's what makes minorities overlook their heritages. Now everybody wants to dress in European costumes in American productions about historical European stories and fantasy because if white Americans can do that so can we. Lupita is from Africa so she is different. I've read comments by black people from Africa and they are perplexed by the race swapping trend in Hollywood. People across the globe are perplexed too. Like why would Asians be in like Bridgerton or House of the Dragons for example. Only minorities in America don't see anything wrong.

    Every writer on literature from Aristotle on has said, in one way or another, that art is about instructing BY delighting, by getting the audience to identify with complex characters and follow the arc of what their actions lead to, and the WORST thing to do is to privilege ideas and lecture the audience instead of persuading them through plot and character--because life is more complex than any ideology.

    Truthfully, as a biracial person, I would’ve loved to have seen the true depiction of the Agoje warriors and Dahomey in film format. It could’ve been an interesting way of depicting and sharing history that most probably aren’t aware of. It could’ve been from the perspective of a slave taken from their village by the Dahomey and the terror they faced by being enslaved by people who they assumed were on their side. There could’ve been a very real, visceral, fearful and human perspective and take on this portion of African history that most people don’t know or don’t want to know. Much like how 12 Years a Slave showed the horrors of history. Stories are how we learn and grow to never make these mistakes again and take those who committed them accountable so that they can improve and grow.
    Instead we are being spoonfed agendas and history os being chickenscratched and overwritten to satiate the needs of people who want to believe that they are right.

Women should stop trying to be warriors, and be mothers! They should stop running laws and countries and they should run a house! Women always had immense decisional power through their men. Man always listened to women. Man always simped for women... It's in our nature to try to offer them the best we can...

    I can tell you one thing: while I'm not a movie maker, I am a writer and I have no intention of changing my characters just because a certain group may find them offensive. And if my publisher tells me otherwise, I will take my business elsewhere or find a way to self-publish my work. I'm not going to change a character unless it has to do with improving MY story. And if they don't like the characters, they don't have to read it. Simple as that.

    I'm glad you actually mentioned The Batman. As a guy who loved the Bale Batman I was initially sceptical towards this new version. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Pattinson's performance, the style and vibe of the film, as well as its esthetics. I loved all actors.Batman, Gordon, the Riddler were all portrayed in an amazing way. In the terms of personality, this Jim Gordon felt more like the original and I couldn't care less of his race, because it wasn't there to push some narrative or make him the main hero. The film was a action movie with a lot of detective elements and I felt like I was reading an original Batman story from the 40s. Literally DC- DETECTIVE comics. The Batmobile had that old look with the taillights being bat wings. It was slow at times and Batman was basically wearing Mandalorian Beskar armour but it looked cool and it can be easily overlooked. It is definetely one of my new favourite movies and I will watch it along with the Bale trilogy.

    Something else that arose recently and was super controversial.
    Hogwarts legacy. We all saw how batshit crazy people got trying to ban the game, ban people from playing it, dox people and so fourth.
    Yet, for all their screaming they had almost no impact. Sure they caused some streamers to stop streaming. But it made a large amount of sales.
    This showed these companies that these people with the loud speakers have little they can actually bring to the table.
    Furthermore like you said. People are just done with identity politics. People are tired of being told that because they have pale skin or identify as male their opinions do not matter. It matters so little that even people who ally with them will be stepped ok the second their pinky toe goes over the line.
    I have come to the conclusion that any time a studio even gives a whiff of "if you oppose this movie or show or comic. You are racist" since they are watering the word itself down. Seriously. They called the game "forspoken" racist because the main character apparently was not called a derogatory name for her skin color. That is right they said the game was racist for not being racist. How the hell does that work out?

The same bad actors or a waste of talent (Downey Jr) doing the same character for 13 years. There’s no innovation in movies anymore. Like practical effects in the 80s pushing new grounds and VFX in the 90s and early noughties. And the same with stories there’s hardly anything new or interesting. The last really novel entry was John Wick with the “gun-fu” and its shadow society. Now horror and small production houses like Blumhaus luckily taken this void of poor stories. But most only have a limited theater release because theaters are generally owned by studios. So these days I buy a lot of B-movies and arthouse movies online and watch them at home, also more comfortable and affordable
