So go woke go broke?


Sorry what happened?

reply

So you admit this movie is woke? Also this is a movie for pre-teenage girls, the fact that you seem so concerned with it is very disturbing.

reply

“this is a movie for pre-teenage girls”

Actually, surprisingly and disappointingly not so. I was going to take my 9 year old daughter to see it, but once I read the reviews I realised it was more for adults.

She still wants to go, but I’ve managed her expectations (Cool Dad Andy).

reply

This movie isn't for kids at all.

reply

It’s a movie based on a toy directed towards little girls, it’s for kids.

reply

there's always an exception to the rule...

reply

Interesting but how come everytime there is a success it gets ignored? Yet when there is a failure it's celebrated. Seems to me people wanting to push a narrative for validation. I have a lot of exceptions to woke movies bombing.

reply

okay..

reply

So let's all grow up and realize any movie can succeed or fail. The northman was a box office bomb despite starring an all white cast and not being woke. Everything Everywhere All At Once absolutely destroyed it and was a woke film.

reply

I said okay to end the conversation, not that I agree with you...

reply

Oh I know. Get educated before speaking next time got it? You initiated the conversation, you are excused.

reply

What happened is the trailers for the movies lie about the actual theme of the movie. The trailers present the movie as the Barbie little girls know and love. The actual movie is pushing women to hate men/demonizing men. They made all that money by tricking people.

reply

Then explain why other woke films succeed like moonlight?

reply

Moonlight only cost $4 million, dude. It only made $402,075 from the homosexuals of the US and Canada. It seems the worldwide homosexuals got it to $65,172,611.

reply

Which means it turned in a great profit. I already proved you wrong about the batman. Quiet down my man you got schooled.

reply

You THOUGHT you proved me wrong, pathetic little woketard.

reply

Lol nope. I said it was a success you tried to say it wasn't. You said I didn't know about Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. I then provided proof I mentioned her years ago. Seriously dude you got schooled. You are a deluded idiot. Let the adults make the films you sit down and be quiet.

reply

You stupidly claimed "The Batman" was woke because it race swapped Catwoman and Commissioner Gordon. You conveniently ignored Eartha Kitt was accepted as the first black Catwoman since the 1960s, so not a race swap.

reply

Lol ok I'm glad we got that on the record. So Catwoman by Kravitz isn't a race swap. Gordon is though now isn't he? Also plenty of you anti woke people cried about the casting of Kravitz so I'm not buying your logic. I think you are attempting to omit the batman because it contradicts your point. I can go all day though. How did everything everywhere all at once destroy the northman? One was woke the other isn't. How about into the spider verse or across the spiderverse?

reply

The Northman was just a shit movie with farting during the first 5 minutes. Spider-man was in both of those Mile Morales movies, he is the most popular Marvel character, that's why they use him to prop up Miles Morales movies. DUH!

reply

Black panther excuse? Also yeah everything everywhere all at once was a huge hit and an original property. No excuses for that?

reply

Black Panther was released at the height of MCU popularity and cashed in on the death of Chadwick Boseman. DUH!

I never saw Everything Everywhere blah Blah blah, so I have no idea what that movie was even about.

reply

Everything Everywhere all at once was woke an original property and it exceptionally well. Boom you got debunked.

reply

Sure, Jan.

reply

Get owned you scumbag.

reply

Just ignore moviefanatic505, he's begging for attention and you totally owned him. Keep it up.

reply

It's a generality that is more often true than not. One movie doesn't invalidate it.

reply

I have a list quite long. It isn't just one film.

reply

You hide the theme of the movies from the General Public. Make people think its going to be a fun light hearted summer movie. than you hit them upside the head with Political BS. Plus people are so Slaves to Brand name. That why Transformers made so much money.

reply

Interesting people knew Kravitz was Catwoman and that Jeffrey Wright was Gordon. Yet people still went to see the Batman. People knew Moonlight was about a gay black man yet it still was a success. So um what?

reply

I'm not even sure this is going woke. I think it brings up a lot of good issues about the product, the good and the bad, and then has something to say about both genders and equality as well.

If anyone's interested, I reviewed the movie on my youtube channel. Appreciate any feedback. Trying to improve -https://youtu.be/PtDw-zgDhPI

reply

I'm not sure what the question is, but I think this movie made money, good for Barbie!

reply

I am showing how that statement is stupid. I agree good.

reply

Anything with woke in the title that doesn't involve the act of actually waking up in a literal sense usually is stupid.

reply

True.

reply

LOlz.
