Iunno, I'd say Rogue One had proper respect for it still, if only because it acknowledged cannon and didn't fuck with it, merely thought to elaborate on a throw-away statement from New Hope.
ffs, they're doing it to their own animated movies
>Be super secret organisation
>Exist for hundreds of years
>Keep every single thing you do a secret
If I want to watch Aladdin, I'd rather watch the far superior animated version
Will Smith was like the only thing good in the new one
you people still care about starp warts?
Rogue one didn't need to exist, but it at least managed to stay true to the OT art style and didn't go insanely hard with the woke virtue signalling
I mean I am glad I didn't give a fuck prior, but the franchise would be dead to me at this point
The most woke thing about it was the simple fact it had a female lead, otherwise nothing sticks out in my memory
Honestly it didn't even feel like virtue signalling. I didn't realize the casting for the heroes had gone full "muh diversity" until others pointed it out.
'cause they didn't really flaunt that fact
they just did it
They didn't have Holdo or princess leah telling all the men to shut up, so that's nice
goddamnit
Kinda hope that this becomes the new Loss.
no you see, new star wars is virtue signal-y because the wahmen and minorities are depicted as epic awesome heroes despite fucking up just as bad as they do irl
I actually liked the new Aladdin
here's the thing, I actually wanted Jin Erso being a woman to be more of a factor, which you CAN do that without coming across as feminist (although Hollywood writers apparently can't fathom this concept). As it stands, Jin Erso could be a male character and it would have absolutely no effect on the plot.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
saw this quote somewhere, it's 100% right IMO: feminism makes otherwise happy women miserable by turning them into inferior men
yup
U r bogit
ratsis
you can apply the same thing to a lot of the other "female empowerment movies" Hollywood has crapped out
that one, thx
np
That's an interesting point though
Most women I've met just want to be put back into their vanity filled prison of marriage because they see all this freedom they have and it legitimately terrifies them that they don't know what the fuck to do with it
The reason capitalism works is women want things and men want women.
In my vision of contemporary feminism, the doctrines of masculinity, femininity, and the roles we play?
Many of them simply want petty vengeance
To turn men into sissified 50's stereotypes of women
And to take their positions as elites.
It's funny. I have this absolutely radfem political science prof. She finds a way to inject feminism into every contemporary thinker ever... Except the day we did Mary Wollstonecraft.
Her views are based on things that are so far apart from modern day feminism that my prof couldn't find a way to shoehorn her ideology into the lecture
