      Damn I never thought of that! But so true! See...... They claim race is this giant fucking thing and it's the furthest from the truth... A good movie is a good movie. A good actor is a good actor. It doesn't matter what race they are to 99.99% of us. It's only an issue for those that are hiding their own racist beliefs and feel the need to project their own issues outwards so they won't have to take responsibility for their own moral flaws

      give it a decade or two and they will reboot those franchises as soon as they think there is a market again. just look at how many times the batman franchise has been remade. you have the corny live action batman from the 1940s, the movie series from the 1990s, the animated cartoons from the 1990s, the dark knight trilogy, etc.. same thing happened with X-Men, Star Trek, and many others.

    We had a woman present the pre-ANZAC day speech at my daughters school today.
    ANZAC day in australia is specifically about the men who died in gallipoli during World War I.
    The first 3 minutes of a 4 minute speech was about women in the army in the 80s and how they aren't allowed to be in combat situations even though, and i quote, "women can do all the things men do in the army". She spoke about how women would need to leave the army if they fell pregnant. Regardless of validity of any of what she said is, ANZAC day is not the vehicle to use for gender politics to a primary school with kids aged 6-12.
    This is essentially what Disney is doing. Using the wrong vehicle to spread a message. It's messed up.

Also writing a great character matter way more than their gender. Yor (from Spy X Family), Maomao (from Apothecary Diaries), Rishe (from 7th time loop) and Aileen (from Villainess Taming the final Boss) are all amazing and badass because of who they are, not what what they are.

But White Father was a racist... Not a caricature of one... A reasonable person with flaws. Flaws that didn't came out of nowhere - his world view became like that because for years he was social worker in ghetto and was dissapointed again and again by deeds of local black people. And MC's Black Father calls him out on it, reminds that every person is different and they MUST put their prejudices aside and work TOGETHER to find their sons and just BE BETTER for the sake of their sons even if their life experiences make it hard for them.
      And it wasn't presented like preaching - it was exactly presented like one parent talking to the other. Heck, racist White Father was specifically presented as a very decent person aside for his flaw not as a BAD person. Just a man who had actual reasons to have a worldview he had and reflected on his actions by the end of episode deciding to be better for the sake of his son.
      You can even argue that moral of the story was not just "Racism is bad" but "Parents have to try to better themselves for the sake of their kids" using "Racism" as the example of a "flaw" one can have.

      The biggest issue is Hulk's entire development was about controlling his anger allowing him to control his power but she hulk's power is amplified by hatred of men with complete control without any character development with the added excuse of "women have had to deal with men therefore they've been controlling their anger since the beginning of human history" kind of BS. The core value is literally "women strong, men weak."

These people are unpleasant to be around because it feels like you can never tell a joke and are constantly walking on egg shells. Then companies like Disney go out of their way to cater their movies to people like him, and what it results in is just an unpleasant movie trying to cater to unpleasant people. Largely speaking the vast majority of people don't have an issue with diversity or inclusion.

After that, instead of relaxing and having a great time I was always trying to be careful about everything I said, walking on eggshells. Even with me being so careful, because I said 'hey guys' to a group of people, an Ernest in that group added me to some sort of blacklist of people.

    Strong Female Characters always existed, not as many as male to be fair but they were there. They just get badly writen in the current time.
    One of my favorite examples for a strong female character is to this day Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter from Stargate SG-1/Atlantis. This woman kicked ass and was inteligent without being a power trip. One of the best moments was when she had to admit that she needed help from Ba'al to read an Alien inscribtion while he was riding his superiority complex. She wasnt above admiting she needed help but she also punched him in the face afterwards to signal that she doesnt take shit from him.
    This is not about female or male - this is about well writen or not. And suprise suprise a lot of those woke activists dont know shit about character writing.

    The question to ask him here is a simple one "Why is it important to have a diverse cast?"
    Why does it matter? He'll respond with "to identify with the characters we need representation."
    You then respond with "so you're saying minorities cannot identify with characters that don't look like them?"
    Because that's what the source of this is on the face of it - it isn't the actual reality but that's an aside - the point that needs t obe made is that these people are saying "I can only identify if I see someone like me on screen." and to do it to as big an audience as possible while saying you are the opposite. "doesn't matter to me what they look like, white black blue yellow green pink it doesn't matter, it's the person that's important not what they look like, you can identify with John MacLane equally as much as you can Mike Lowrey or Ip Man. If you think you can't do that without them looking like you, I'm sorry but you're the bigot." and let that be the end of it.

    Stories are about challenges that force characters to make decisions. Decisions reveal who a character is. The tougher the decision, and the more novel their answer is, the better the character. This applies no matter what demographic the character belongs to. But, we're lucky to see a lot of these new characters make any decisions at all and if they are forced to make one, more often than not it's a brain dead easy one to make or they just shrug until something happens to make the challenge go away. All the while you're being TOLD either by some side character, the character themselves, or marketing just how awesome they are.

Then when it shifts over to the conflict between Suri and Nemor you will find yourself questioning a lot of actions and choices, even for a superhero movie.

If we have to stare at something for hours at a time, it might as well be appeasing. Gamers DO NOT CARE about representation we just want something fun to look at. Whether it's Kratos godlike physique and tattoos or 2B's greatest assets. We DON'T care about seeing ourselves in games as long as the main character is good looking or well written.

    I personally like musicals but I understand they aren't for everyone, I think those that happen to like them most often are people with a background in the arts like myself, so who have an understanding on the bar of talent and work that goes into making that such a thing work, and thus pleasing for us to watch, but we also think about everything that is going on at that moment and we disect it. In music, I love picking out the different instruments, Dog fights in songs especially, the closest rock gets to this is dueling guitar solos.
    Much like how a dark souls player enjoys learning timing and move sets, they have patience beyond measure at times, take those same players, would likely hate playing the cokefuel run n' gun fest that is the latest CoD. Whilst both are gaming, we can appreciate the skill and talent knowing what goes into each of those respectively whilst also knowing it isn't for us.

There was soooo much source material there from books written after Return of the Jedi that all the fans really enjoyed and they used none of it.

    Identity politics doesn’t attract mainstream audiences. If you divide your audience don’t expect your audience to grow. If you cater for one group, especially if it is a niche, don’t expect a mainstream success. If in addition to this agenda pandering you suffer from a serious lack of creativity, talent and passion, you should not be surprised if a lukewarm reception is the best you can expect and in general you are pushing commercial AND creative flops. If you have an agenda, fine, if you want to target a niche audience, fine, but do so with new material, do so with creative storytelling. Create NEW epic heroes and tales, but if you fail don’t blame the audience and (grassroots) critics. In a way the customer is always right and customers, in general as a mainstream audience, are rejecting the identity agenda driven movies and stories. The people who push this are suffering from an extreme case of denial. It is a culture war, don’t be fooled. It is not a matter of taste if it is structural. There are always flops, but this is not what is happening in the entertainment business right now.

      @@ChrisDeebo We don't really know the numbers, but 859 mil is aboslutely not that great a number, when we consider how much the cinemas take, and the fact the actual cost of the movie nowadays is about twice its budget (marketing and all that).
      Estimates put profit at 260 mil, while 170 mil of that is from streaming. Money that Disney gets to decide how to attribute, as the whole system is theirs. So, anywhere between 90 and 260 million dollars. Not terrible, but not a milestone either.
      Compared to previous years' movies, it absolutely underperformed, and that is the best outcome from that year. It's not a good look.

Neither of those movies were my cup of tea but they succeeded. Unfortunately chance of Disney or WB getting money from Superheroes movies is growing slim. Hell Dune 2 was fantastic but so far only made over 600 mil 😐

    18:41 I was practicing my Super Metroid speedruns earlier, and got that bleed over effect where I could of sworn you said "Down-back", haha. But to the subject: I honestly think I live with a very tiny amount of fear in the back of mind that Hollywood or Netflix will one day do something with the Metroid series, and our beloved Samus. I'm very surprised it hasn't happened already, considering the temptation to turn a true and strong Female lead into some kind of bi-sexual Feminist monster. There are very few things that I enjoy that have not yet been attacked. I think the recent Dune films may be the only example that has been decent.

Even if you have those, if these companies only hired depending on your competence at the job that you are applying for, then those things don't have as big of an impact as you think they do. You could have all the money in the world and have the best teachers for something, but if you aren't interested in it and/or just aren't good at it, then your competence at the job just won't be that good. I've worked with a lot of people and usually the people with the lowest competence are those who have been spoiled rotten and those who have no drive to do anything, they just want the money.

    To me, it boils down to this... I don't watch a movie to be "taught a lesson" or be "educated". I watch a movie to be entertained, period, end of story. If entertainment (ie story) value in a movie is sacrificed on the altar of a "cause" no matter how just it is, it kills the engagement for me.

      If they really have a cause they should make it a documentary rather than some fictional movie. then they can go all out on the cause without ruining what they are doing by putting it where it won't get as much attention or get negative attention because its not an entertaining film.

      sad part is the could teach a less or educate, but that requires good writing, good direction and attention to detail. They don't do any of the three. they need to go back to writing a full script, a good script review, storyboarding and using a plan and not a bunch of reshoots to try and duct tape scenes to a movie without a plan.

    Disney has a problem hiring people for their actual qualifications in terms of skill and knowledge, and instead they prioritise people’s identity.
    If you want a good movie, hire people who make good movies and ALSO know and love the source material.
    Disney instead prioritise the person who will get them the most DEI, when that should be a secondary consideration.

    Here's the thing. Representation is a good thing. But again, it's a momentarily happy impulse and that's it.
    Fast & Furious 6, the last Chris Pine led Star Trek had Indonesian representation in it. Indonesians were riled up for a moment, but that's it. At the end of the day, it's about what the movie brings.
    That's why Stuber wasn't really quite popular to Indonesians, even though it has an Indonesian actor as the villain. It's about the movie itself at the end of the day.
