The female empowerment droid's NAME


L3-37

That sounds to me like the old Leetspeak for "ELITE" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet)

So the droid thinks she's above everyone and everything else, ie. part of the elite?

Whoever proposed that name for the droid must've given Kathleen Kennedy a SJW orgasm.

:(

That's hilarious, somehow I hadn't noticed.

reply

I think nobody noticed. It seems like a hidden joke from Lord and Weisz that Disney didn't notice either. Otherwise, they would have changed it.

We're not against women, we're against men being pushed aside and belittled in favour of women only.

Yes, thats why we like Ripley. And dislike, like any sane person, a Mary Sue.

reply

Hey, blame the overseas market. They are the ones shelling out cash for women these days, and have gotten bored of white male leads.

At the end of the day, it's all about making money. Notice how Solo isn't being saved overseas. Deadpool 2 is getting stomped there as well despite doing well early on.

So now Disney will just go back to putting women as the leads of Star Wars movies. You can boycott all you want. You know damn well you're gonna see IX. Well, it doesn't matter. The rest of the world will see it and more than make up for any domestic loss.

Please stop feeding the sammy.
The guy uses "incel" (don't care what it means) thinking he is a grown up man.
He is just a propaganda tool.Please don't take him seriously.

@diancer

Deadpool 2 "is getting stomped overseas"?

You might want to check your facts before posting next time.

Just a friendly tip. Don't let your agenda get ahead of reality.

reply

No agenda required. It's getting stomped recently is what I said... not early on in its release. It had sequel hype to get it going, but the drop-off is severe, here as well.

There's no need to whine about nonexistent agendas just because you disagree.

reply

@dancer

You have an obvious agenda about "white make" leads. Also, it is ahead of where DP1 was at this point internationally by quite a bit so your argument is null and void.

reply

No, you just want me to have an agenda about white male leads. Deadpool was a hit, of course DP2 is going to do well early on.

reply

It's not "early on"...it's been three weeks and is way ahead overseas than the first one. It's going to final out AHEAD of the first one at the end of it's run.

reply

China is the #2 box office market in the world. How is it doing there? DP2 had tons of sequel hype. It did well where it needed to. You're so caught on my Deadpool 2 comment that you sound like a rabid DP fan. Honestly, DP2 shouldn't have issues because as white male leads go, he's either covered by his suit or covered in prosthetics.

Even Marvel is avoiding the white male lead poison. Thor Ragnarok was a team-up. Black Panther was based in Africa. Infinity War was a team-up. Even the upcoming Ant-Man sequel is teaming him up with a woman.

Hmm, that must just be MY agenda. Lol.

reply

I actually don't like the Deadpool movies.

^^^^

quick Queen hurry up and Make A "Will it Remain Fresh" thread on the Jurassic World 2 board....and While your at it be sure to had ....how its "NOT LOOKING GOOD"....

and Maybe compare it Jurassic Worlds RT score to DP2 to get your point across .....

I Mean Your not biased or anything right?

you made a thread extremely quickly after reviews starting coming out and Solo's RT score was 72%, You instantly made a thread to suggest and ask would it even "Remain Fresh" and you talked about how its "Not Looking Good" and then compared it to Another Sequels RT score to rub it in a little more...

So I say to you...Quick Make the same thread for Jurassic World 2....reviews just hit for JW2 and there not good, Its got an even lower RT score than Solo at 62%....If you questioned if SOLO would remain fresh, certainly you should now question if JW2 will remain fresh too?

I mean Your not biased right? you were simply making the "Will it remain fresh" thread purely out of concern right? you were worried that SOLO (A Movie you deeply were anticipating) may in fact fall Rotten, there was no ILL Intent or Trolling going on there right?

So, I think you should also be MORE concerned about JW2....I think you need to quickly make a "Will it remain Fresh....This doesnt look good" thread about JW2....I just dont see any reason why You wouldnt be MORE concerned about JW2 now that it has WORSE reviews than SOLO

wait, there is 1 reason....and thats you were trolling on SOLO and Just rubbing in the fact that it wasnt getting great reviews....but WAIT...thats crazy you wouldnt do that....nope, I think you should make a "Will it remain fresh...it doesnt Look good" thread for JW2 JUST LIKE YOU DID With Solo....

reply

Well...the thing about JW2 is that I'm sure it will be a piece of crap just like the first one. You have to realize that Universal makes critic-proof movies(Fast and Furious and Illumination Animation spring to mind) that packs theaters.

Usually when I see that a film is from Universal I already know I'm not going to like it but that it will still be a massive hit.

I made a thread on Solo because I wanted it to be good(I loved it btw) but couldn't care less about the RT for JW2 because I already assume it will suck.

reply

Tell that to the creators behind the Mummy that it was a massive hit.

This just proves my earlier point. Tom Cruise is arguably the most popular white male lead in the history of white male leads, and that movie was not saved by the Chinese market. China is the #2 box office target, on its way to becoming #1. Fast and the Furious kills it there. Dinosaur movies too. But you center a project around a white male lead and it gets crushed in that market.

reply

Yep, doing a Mary Sue movie is indeed anything else then "I hate women" :) .

reply

Mary Sues aren't a problem outside of Star Wars though. But in Star Wars where a powerful source of energy exists such as the force, she better not be too strong with it! Mary Sue!!!

reply

Except L3-37 wasn't advocating female empowerment. The droid was fighting for equal rights for droids (male, female or other).

reply

Strange when they are basically just utilities.

reply

WTF did the writers forget that years later R2D2 and C3p0 are being baught and sold as slaves and even given to Jaba the hutt in Return of the Jedi.

reply

Not so much slaves as they are tools. Machines that can fil a purpose, like serving drinks on the maters sail barge!

reply

We saw disobedient droids being destroyed in Jabbas palace. C3p0 in episode 4 even admits they will be dismantled for sure when they snuck out from the farm. They generally wear restraining bolts (That rob them of free will) when in service. They are slaves bought and sold. I think droid emancipation must occur before a droids civil rights movement yet the writers seem to have gotten this back wards.

reply

Slavery doesn't extend to droids - they are purpose built. Any 'free will' they have is programmed.

The are bought, sold, traded as appliances - not slaves.

reply

My god."Equal rights for droids (male, female or other)".I never laughed so hard at some random post.
Hope they don't get mad and blow their fuse box. :))
I hope that was sarcasm.
Next star wars movie."Droid f*** another droid (male, female or other)".

reply

Not really sure what your point is. My point was that it is inaccurate to say that the droid was advocating "female empowerment." The droid was, in fact, fighting for the right for droids to be free and had nothing to do with males or females.

reply

Fair enough. I apparently misunderstood your point.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Sorry if my comment seemed harsh.
If you want, I will delete it.

reply

No biggy. I was just confused.

reply

Yeah I'm sure I let out an audible groan when the name was revealed ... then the wookipedia entry said that she is passionate about droid rights ... And it was true lol.
