I was under the impression that the ape played by Owen Teague is the lead, or that at the very least, he would be co-leads with Freya Allan. Girls are icky! So you think she’s not attractive because her smile isn’t beaming enough for you? Why do weirdos keep trying to make it seem like Zendaya is ugly? Trump is the one who’s threatening to lock up his enemies. This movie plays things way too safe to even remotely justify anyone getting mad at it. It’s not “woke,” it’s just bland. It really isn’t, unless you just think longer equals bad. You can read up on Colin Trevorrow’s Episode IX script. The draft was completed shortly before Carrie Fisher’s passing. He sued Sean Young for rejecting his advances. It’s a Lolita reference. It passed $300 million. It’s not a flop. She wasn’t the star of Shazam, but people still used that movie’s failure against her. It’s made close to $200 million worldwide, and still has plenty of fuel left in the tank. That’s not a bomb. Hunger Games isn’t a bomb. He’s just another Mr. Plinkett wannabe whose critiques more often than boil down to him whining about “wokeness.” Apple is a massive company. Film and television aren’t even their primary source of revenue. They’re a tech company first and foremost. They can afford to take a financial loss on this if it means building up their streaming service. Apple was never expecting this to make its money back in theaters. They did this for the prestige and the awards buzz. My understanding is that Plemons was never meant to be the lead. DiCaprio was originally supposed to play Tom White. Serious question: were people actually expecting a Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig to not be feminist? It passed $550 million.
