I'm worried this won't be woke enough


Smith has worked the subject before, like Chasing Amy, which was handled well in my opinion.

However with woke pressure of current times the demand is higher to the point where logic takes a back seat, which characters will come out as gay or trans?

He better have a trans in the movie or else I would never rate this movie higher than 99%.

Did you also miss the Reboot?
One of the most diverse movies ever made. It had:

- black (and deaf) girl
- Muslim girl
- white girl
- Asian girl (later Russian)

Smith has been blazing the Woke Express down the track at full steam ahead.

I worry that he will force some woke shit into this like he did with Jay and Silent Bob. Politics and Smith's movie don't jell well together.

reply

The sad reality is that it will have the edges sawn off. Is he really going to have Dante shaming a woman for having 37 blowjobs, or Randall joking about a ‘nigger knife’?

I hope Smith maintains his edge but in recent years he has completely bent the knee to woke bullies, and he even made She-Man. If he’s smart he’s learned from the fan backlash but I fear he has become yet another Hollywood woke drone.
