Utter WOKE garbage.


A bunch of white dudes dressed as Nazis terrorizing a galaxy that happens to be primarily made up of every person of color, gender and sexual orientation under the sun, and oh yea, ONE weak, pathetic, white man who serves no purpose whatsoever except to make his female companion look like Brock Lesnar in comparison. I lost all respect for Zack Snyder, and I had such high hopes for a compelling and original narrative but all he can muster is this boring, racist, sexist, lets crucify the white man, propaganda shitshow, what a colossal disappointment.

IMO, I always hate the opinion of “utter woke garbage”.

If material sucks, it just simply sucks! It doesn’t matter if all the boxes were checked.

Just give me a good story with good characters! I’ve seen great movies/series with all kind of characters!

IMO, the Netflix series of One Piece was a fun and engaging series that “checked all the the boxes” without even thinking about it. For me, it was simply fun and engaging.

I just want an entertaining journey not unlike something like The Goonies, but to say “it’s woke shit” come across so lazy and simplified. How about “it just sucks”?

You hate the fact that something can be two things at once? Rebel Moon does suck, it blatantly rips off numerous film narratives, is unoriginal as well as incompetently written but it is also terribly woke, and if you read my post I explain exactly why it’s woke. Have you even watched Rebel Moon or are you hating my opinion (which seems a bit excessive if you ask me) based on an assumption as well as bias that you’ve developed from critiquing film criticisms without even having watched the film in the first place.
Since you brought up the word “hate,” I’ll tell you what I hate, shitty material that is part of a propaganda machine. I can stomach poorly written films as long as the film has a heart, take Prometheus for example, the writing was excruciatingly bad at times, but the concepts were wholly original and the only agenda was to tell a unique narrative, and because of that, Prometheus will always be a film I admire.
But when a director tries to sell me cat shit packaged in a socio-political agenda, I have every right to call it out as such.

Of course, this movie can be both things at once, but I don’t think it sucks because it’s woke. It just simply sucks.

Like, being “woke” didn’t make it suck. Simply saying “The Movie Sucks!!!” is sufficient.

IMO, new Star Wars simply sucks. They could replace every “woke” character with a “traditional” character, and it’ll still suck.

Inclusion never bothered me. What bothers me is shitty writing.

Agreed.

I mean, if they just showed Hitler and his goons you would be complaining it's woke as well, right?

reply

Left, right, republican, democrat, it’s all the same, for most of us, good people doing the best they can living in the grey, or middle or a little to either side. Being woke is no different than being a racist or sexist or all around shitty human being. Grow up and read between the lines of what I’m saying instead of looking for any reason to engage in passive aggressive behavior.

Nobody had a problem when Nazis were the bad guys in previous movies and games and stuff, and they still don’t. Everyone agrees that the Nazis were evil.

But portraying people with different opinions than yours as evil Nazis, that's an example of being woke.

Also, it's played out to the point where I'm starting to root for Nazis in media now.

It can have an opposite effect where you're beaten over the head so much with "muh ebil nahtzees!" that people become desensitised to it all and just clock out. And that's what I've been doing lately; clocking out.

Nazis haven't been an issue on the world stage since the 1940s. The fact that we're now 80 years removed from that and still painting them as the most "evil ever!" while Islamic terrorism, grooming rape gangs, illegal immigration, cartel killings, and military-style police states have proven to be way bigger issues over the last decade, just goes to show how much programmatic propaganda is being peddled out of Hollyweird and adjacent media companies pushing this nonsense into Western media.

The grounded realism of a film like Sicario dealing with actual evil people in modern society is one of the reasons it stands out so much amongst the other dredge of Hollywood. Now if only we could get someone to make a film about the 13 - 50 stats in places like America, or the Islamic grooming gang epidemic sweeping through Western Europe.

Watch the 'greatest story never told'. Everything you think you know about WWII is a partial and/or full-on lie. The US did Germany rotten.

reply

You snowflakes will cry about everything.

White folks like to remind minorities, but don't like to be reminded.

reply

Damn.... I don't want to come out as a hater, but I am around 1 hour into the movie and that's exactly the vibe I'm getting.
For a moment I thought this was a Disney movie,and had to run a quick web search to find out that apparently it isn't, even if it has all the markings.

Sooooo.... 100% agree. Woke garbage.

reply

Well, white people are known to colonize. LOL! Anything that reminds us Nazis = bad, is good. But the fighting in the show is not believable. Every villain just waiting around for the girl to take them out one by one. They don't fire at the same time, gang up, etc. Just bad choreography.

reply

Laughed out loud at "a galaxy that happens to be primarily made up of every person of color, gender and sexual orientation under the sun." I hope you were trying to be funny with that. A fucking GALAXY with people of different colors and genders, woah weird.

reply

Active listening or in this case, active reading, is a fundamental skill needed when one is wanting to take meaningful part in a discussion.

You conveniently left out the last part of my statement which like The Dude’s rug, ties the room together.

“…….. under the sun, and oh yea, ONE weak, pathetic, white man who serves no purpose whatsoever except to make his female companion look like Brock Lesnar in comparison.”
