Yes, Batman shouldn't be a rich white man. He should be a rich black man. Everyone knows that.
And Robin should be a Ukrainian transgender lesbian who identifies as a duckbill platypus.

There’s no substance to anything that he or the other Fandom Menace types make. All they do is call everything they don’t like “woke,” and make money off it.

Why was sci-fi cinema better 35 years ago? Aliens, Predator and Robocop. If you grow up with that then you bet we can criticise today’s dreck, especially the MCU.

Your posts would be different if these films were box office hits.

I'm 45, I'd put Aliens and Predator easily into my all-time top ten action movies (and Robocop is also a classic); and while there's some trash in there, especially lately, I still enjoy the majority of MCU content.

That’s fine. It obviously didn’t effect Robocop negatively.

Well I don’t like the majority of MCU content. I like very little of it and haven’t liked anything of theirs for years. They are absolutely squandering the massive potential of the Marvel brand.

Since you also brought up Alien, I would have to imagine that if that movie came out today, you guys would be calling it “woke” as well, what with the fact that it has a female lead who isn’t particularly feminine.

I wouldn’t say that she isn’t feminine in Aliens. Well I liked Daniels in Alien Covenant. I like Noomi in Prometheus. I also don’t mind Furiosa in Mad Max (although I prefer Max). So I reckon you are just wrong about that. It’s not about female leads in themselves. It’s lame or Mary Sues I don’t like.

The great thing about the character of Ellen Ripley (and really, all of the female characters in Aliens) is the fact that they're women isn't made a focal point. They're strong characters, and by the way, they're women. We can all see that, we don't need it explained to us in dialog or subplots. Maybe the lamest thing about Captain Marvel and Black Widow (two movies that I think I liked more than most people did) is that they both have this lazy 'girl power,' post me-too theme of women being gaslit and controlled by men. It's the exact same overarching theme in both films. Just tell a superhero story that happens to revolve around a woman, why does it have to be the same, very gender specific social commentary in both films? Marvel waited too long to make movies focusing on female characters, and we got these heavy-handed overcorrections as a result. And again, I actually liked both movies more than most people did, but Marvel could've done so much better with both of them, for starters by focusing on the characters' personal stories instead of the oppression of women or whatever. Do it once, fine I guess; but twice?

Do it once, fine I guess; but twice? I don’t particularly care for CM or BW, but I don’t see anything inherently wrong with a blockbuster movie that tries to be have themes and actually be about something. CM is a pretty standard superhero origin, though. It pays lip service to some feminist ideas, but that stuff’s hardly a recent phenomenon. Honestly, it’s funny that people got so bent out of shape over it, when it’s possibly the most cookie cutter Marvel film of Phase Three. Actually, the MCU in general is pretty safe and standard when it comes to being progressive. People are just blowing up at it because whining about Disney and “wokeness“ has become a lucrative business model for grifters. The Quartering even admitted that the reason he’s made so many videos about Brie Larson is because they make him decent money.

I think the MRAs were more enraged at Larson's comments than the film itself. I don't think there's anything wrong with throwing that stuff in there once, but when they do it twice, it looks more like pandering to an audience as opposed to character or story depth. It's not inherently wrong to throw in some subtle social commentary, but it comes off as particularly uninspired on the second go-round. No argument about the people vehemently arguing against the MCU. These youtube guys need some self-esteem as well as self-awareness.

You’ve got me all wrong. I may be right of centre, but I’m socially very liberal. Just I don’t like bullshit and the contemporary left who have hijacked the entertainment industry are ruining it.

Scifi wasn't better 35 years ago, a lot of stuff back then would be called SJW propaganda now like Aliens and Predator.

Wonder Woman then. Oh but wait she's a model in a skimpy outfit who acts like an overgrown kid so I guess men can't be afraid of that.
