Online criticism


I have noticed quite a lot of comments on this board about the casting of this movie. The prequel is set in New York in the present day. What is so strange about having the focus shift onto a black woman as the lead. New York after all is a multi cultural, multi ethnic city. That does not make the film 'woke'. That term has been so abused by people who resent the changes that have come about in popular culture.
Aliens proved that a science fiction can have a female lead. I have strong suspicion that some of the critics object to the casting of a black actress, even a talented Oscar Winning like Luptia Nyong'o.

Sounds pretty woke. Pass.

It’s gotten so bad that any minority or woman-lead movie is held under scrutiny now, because most of the time it’s done with a malevolent agenda. The latest Star Wars show isn’t doing the “diversity” movement any favors, especially when its lead actress recently posted a cringe diss track. Furiosa suffered the same fate because of that, even though the few that watched it said it was actually good and not that woke.

Aliens is still a great film, but it wasn’t the standard. Occasionally having a movie or show with a female lead is fine, but all the time? And when most of them cast unattractive women with racist and/or misandrist views? In an industry that has primarily relied on men to keep it afloat? At that point, men and women will avoid it.
Audiences generally don’t care what the actor’s skin color is as long as it makes sense in the setting. But for the most part, men relate more with male characters, and women with female characters. There are exceptions, but that’s what they are, exceptions.

Hollywood has nobody to blame but themselves.

AQPDO doesn't suck because it's woke or because it has a black woman for the lead. It sucks because it was horribly made. It is dull and slow. How can a movie about killer horrifying aliens who quickly and violently rip apart anyone who makes a sound be dull, slow and boring. the main character is dull, boring and uninteresting. She's so damn stupid and unartful that she recited a poem were the focus was on the word "shit". She was horrible; Why would anyone care about her? Moreover, had a dam, boring ass cat on a leash. In a movie that it supposed to be scary and edgy, why? a dumbass character with a dumbass cat, Why? Didn't they want people to watch? Moreover, much of the film was filmed in the dark. Why. People didn't have an advantage in the dark. I couldn't see. the filming was as dull as the characters. Should I explain how the final scenes were so poorly done, or let it go? the damn movie was a disaster. It sucked!
