Frank Miller's The Spirit had Samuel L. Jackson dressed as a Nazi. No one with a rational mind would call that film or the man who directed it woke.Yes, cause the woke is shit.
It's the mentality that gave us black nazis in the Alex Rider TV show.......... no really some-one thought it was a good idea to diversify characters who are literal Nazis..........
It's the mentality that gave us the cringeworth "girls get it done" scene in Endgame. Or will do an episode of a well known and loved Sci-Fi show about the spread of microplastics, then endorse long haul flight holidays during it.
Woke is shit because it creates awful bits of writing like that because it's not thought through it's just done to look good and anyone with half a working brain looks at it and goes "That shit is fucking dumb and nonsensical and comes off as more racist / sexist"

I don't know why the "girls get it done" scene caused such an uproar when we earlier had a fight sequence in which three men, only one of whom had any personal reason to be there, faced off against Thanos.
It was a cheap attempt to stifle criticism that the MCU is just a boys club (which it is) by throwing together every named female character they had and putting them together in a shot. It shone a light on how little these women had actually interacted with eachother, and were really just there as either girlfriends for the men or as side characters. And that right after having killed off two prominent ones on the same damn sacrifice mountain.I don't know why the "girls get it done" scene caused such an uproar when we earlier had a fight sequence in which three men, only one of whom had any personal reason to be there, faced off against Thanos.
While I can agree on most of this, the biggest problem IMO with that scene is that Nebula should have been given the job since most of the movie is about her. Everyone else, especially Captain Marvel should have been her defensive screenDevil's advocate:
Thor, Cap and Tony are the leaders of the Avengers, know each other, have fought alongside many times as a team over the years and have spearheaded every battle as well as every skirmish against Thanos so far. And for all the hero shots the three of them in that scene don't really accomplish much against him. Which I don't buy but whatever.
The girls get it done scene assembles like 10 (?) different characters, most of whom are freshly resurrected from death, have never fought together and don't even know each other, solely because they're female. What an incredibly marketable coincidence.
The girls get it done scrne was pretty bad in The Boys as well. Anyway...Yes, cause the woke is shit.

Maybe, it would still feel a bit forced. It's clearly a photo op scene and nothing more. Besides they'd already sold Carol as the next big thing so they couldn't have Nebula stealing her thunder.While I can agree on most of this, the biggest problem IMO with that scene is that Nebula should have been given the job since most of the movie is about her.

Yeah, they sold her as the next big thing and then didn't do a thing with her. Just to shit on Endgame some more, but why the hell wouldn't she come along on the stupid time heist? They give a stupid excuse about her needing to solve other problems in the universe, eventhough the Unsnapping mission is like the most important thing to be doing right now. They wanted a Superman character, but then were 'well, we can't have her be Superman throughout the whole movie otherwise there'd be no stakes'.Maybe, it would still feel a bit forced.

JoJo is still around. Afaik he mostly cleans up the scambot threads.Note: Since Nick was fired and everyone left, is there even any mods here to enforce policies?
That last line is very true and pedestaling some for future movies to the detriment of previous ones annoys me. It is also dissonant with the Captain Marvel movie where she learns she can be a distraction so others can gain the objective instead of having Main Characteritis like she has at the start of the movieMaybe, it would still feel a bit forced.

I consider Endgame a 7/10 for me. It has it's issues, but not enough for me to be in rage at the movie.Endgame fucking sucks, by the way.
I'm imagining a scenario where they keep this in but remove the boulder-punching scene.I consider Endgame a 7/10 for me. It has it's issues, but not enough for me to be in rage at the movie.
I do hope RE5R keeps this hidden conversation. Chris said something deep, and still applies today. Betcha 5 million to 1, the anti-woke biatch brigade will cry about RE going "woke".
As someone who is anti-woke on video games. I think Sweet Baby Inc. is pretty bad, but the other side wants a total war that would damage the video game ecosystem. They are going after smaller creators which I kind of view as beyond the pale.I consider Endgame a 7/10 for me. It has it's issues, but not enough for me to be in rage at the movie.

I am also now going to wait a few months because, after last time, the truth finally came out it what nothing like what the other side pretended.As someone who is anti-woke on video games.
