Every villain from Marvel movies. All hellbent on galactic domination but also impossibly boring

Wait, seriously?

Oh boy...how many examples would you like?

Do I really have to bring up 'Velma' which did exactly that and failed horribly? Or I guess since we're talking about films how about the 2020 film 'The Hunt'?

Black Panther 2? Ghostbusters (2016)? They/Them? Nope?

Every Pixar film over the last few years?

Man there are HUNDREDS of examples, I'm barely scratching the surface.

They’re all good to great, but his two so-called horror westerns are really special. “Wraiths of the Broken Land” and “A Congregation of Jackals”.

“I fuck you!”

A really fun, light-hearted movie about family is mom's night out. It has a bunch of silly capers and amusing dialogue with a great story about the value of family.

>I can't stand politics in movies

What's your favorite movie? I guarantee it has a political message

>however in the process it just made everything in the past star wars movies meaningless and pointless, the efforts of the rebel alliance didn't matter because the empire returned in the form of the first order, Palpatine was still breathing, apparently, you could have heal wounds with the force this whole time, they turned Luke into an old bitter hermit etc

All valid criticisms, none of them have anything to do with the gender of the main character. The movies were poorly written, that has nothing to with "wokeism" or whatever

>Doing a piece of media simply for a woke agenda only doesn't work it makes the whole film feel rushed and boring like the Disney star wars trilogy

Do you think Disney was doing that to promote their political message? They were doing it because Star Wars sells. Those movies made billions of dollars.

>These reboots fail every time because the classics are so good you cannot recreate them these are once-in-a-lifetime treasures and successes you cannot make gold out of scratch.

Except for Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049, The Batman and all of the other reboots and remakes that are actually good.

>Sadly it may never stop because despite how cheap and lazy they are they still make tons of money.

This is the main point. Hollywood is a business and they do things to make money. There are plenty of indie movies out there if you're actually looking for some solid art

No, we will not get more from Philip Seymour Hoffman because it will NOT be Philip Seymour Hoffman. That's a very shallow way of looking at an actor's performance and them as a human being.

An AI is not the person and pretending it is is incredibly disrespectful, imo.

Am I crazy? I’ve never heard any controversy with the final scene… most people just talk about elephant feces, the golden shower or how much drug-fuelled hedonism is on display.

I've never seen it and don't know what it's about. But if it's about a war, that can be more broad strokes and not focus on specific events that happened to specific people. It's nearly impossible to make a movie/show about a serial killer and everyone watching not be able to know exactly who the victim was in real life, even if they change names.

Ve believe in nussing lebowski!

TWIN PEAKS

Every now and then I get pissed off all over again that they served sushi at his welcome home party. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Rush Hour 2, and Last Samurai

Goldthwaite Higginson Dorr, Ph.D, from The Ladykillers, played by Thomas Jeffrey Hanks. Just the worst.

You kind of proved my point here, minorities have not had any issue in the last 20-30 years telling their stories. There has been almost no pushback to that from studios, in fact minorities are far, far over-represented in film and TV compared to the national demographics.

Some white people have gotten pushback for trying to tell black stories, but does that really surprise you?

Thank you!

Who are they trying not to offend?

What are the examples of them making a worse story in pursuit of a more “palatable” movie to this audience?

It wasn’t defined at all. “This thing is bad and that’s why things are bad” doesn’t define what “thing” is, only what it causes people to do

Didn't even know that he wrote books. Thank you for the tip!

William Randolph Hearst started a war with Spain for more papers to be sold.

Falcon and Winter Soldier

I mean movies have always reflected their time and the politics of the time. You only have to watch 5 minutes of a Bond film from the 60s/70s to feel the cold war paranoia. Watch the original Planet of the Apes to feel the nuclear war paranoia.

There was a whole 2 decades of American movies licking the wounds of Vietnam.

If anything, the movies of today are reflecting the mood of society, some in a good way, some maybe in a bad way, just like always.

The ending song sequence is great

>the past star wars movies meaningless and pointless

They were meaningless and pointless far before the latest trilogy.

> It’s the woke era.

Funny because the person you responded to already did that.

> Studios walk on egg shells hoping to not offend anyone.

So you had the definition, you just ignored it because you don't have a response.
