I'm genuinely confused as to who they were trying to appeal to with the direction they decided to go with this film. It's almost like they wanted it to flop.
shareFor girls to get a fleeting, false sense of gender superiority.
shareDo you think women really need that or is it something that just a few kooks on the far left and Hollywierd think is necessary?
As a woman I know we kid around about women being superior to men, but no more than men who do the same thing.
At the end of the day, why can't women be women and men be men and be happy there is a difference?
I think most this stuff is political and not motivated by consumer wants. Race, gender, sexual preference, etc. is mainly used these days to enhance one's profile and power in a very cheap way. Most women don't even describe themselves as "feminists" because of the ugly connotations it has garnered (probably because of the political subtexts).
shareWe can, but a small, vocal and powerful minority that controls mainstream media wants otherwise.
shareIt's a certified flop, yes, but why is it so popular on RT?
looking at the stats at imdb shows that currently females voted this movie 0.5 points higher than males. on the other hand, only a 10th of the voters are female. so they basically made a movie for girls, but marketed it to men...
shareUnless they are on a date do you really think most women go to see this type of movie?
shareIt seems like they're trying to tap into some mythical demographic of women who don't exist. At least not an any significant numbers. I mean how exactly is an androgynous action girl in men's clothing supposed to appeal to the general female audience? There is no audience demanding this formula as the box office numbers are showing so why do it? If they were trying to appeal to women, why not throw in a love story arc (historically most popular with female audiences) instead of a going out of their way to avoid it?
shareBecause the people making these movies want to push an SJW agenda, regardless of the cost (cf. Star Wars). And they have the deep pockets to be able to do it. A love story arc would send the message that men and women are equal and complementary to each other - the opposite to the SJW message.
shareMaybe companies will wake the fuck up and stop hiring SJWs to make their crappy campaigns that the American people don’t want.
Gillette lost 10 billion this year because they let SJWs run their super bowl ad campaign that called all men rapists.
Now they’re facing bankruptcy.
Left wing communist democrats don’t care about profits or productivity. They’re brainless lemmings who worship at the alter of woke.
The folks that have no money to go see it.
shareIt's like they're making these SJW updates on existing IPs because the feminists on Twitter have been stamping their feet for it. But they end up not bothering to go see it, maybe because all they wanted was to checkbox their "reprethentaythun" quota and wreck everything the males like? I dunno.
