    “Authentically black” gives me flashbacks of being called an Oreo when I was a kid. What does that even mean lol we just want good characters if they happen to be black great but trying to make characters “act/sound black” is not giving what they think. It’s cringe. I wish they would stop.

    The reaction to this movie's failure is just baffling. When it was about to be released two weeks ago, it really felt like absolutely everyone was on the same page and knew it was about to flop. Then it flops, and suddenly the usual playbook of whining about men and -ists etc. is brought out. The internet is weird, man.

      Don't forget that the cringy woke activist keyboard warriors are possibly still funded by some far-left special interest group.
      Right now, that's all collapsing. Take a loot at Media Matter, Musk, Vice, the ever increasing decline of viewership of the MS media.
      The internet has been captured by corporations, governments, activists, alarmists and special ops. It's the greatest tool of control in the history of mankind.
      Just look at the smartphone zombies that wake up and go to sleep with their phones.
      I can imagine going back to life without exposure to the internet. Cutting out social media isn't a big issue. I only use TH-cam and I can feel I've reached the final stages of giving a shit about it. It's all repetitive content, it's mostly a copy of a copy and I'm just bored with it.
      There's so much to learn, discover and be excited about in books, physical media (dvd's/blurays etc) without having to listen to some twat explaining the meaning or the ending of every single book or movie. It's become an insufferable stew of rehashed content and I'm starting to back away from it.
      The reward of discovering a mindblowing book with an unknown plot is priceless. Why o why do we need to have some insufferable TH-camr telling us what to read or what to watch? I truly think this era of social media has an expirationdate. After a decade, I think I've reached the end.

    The thing I read about the Marvels that is so true and sums up everything wrong with it was: "The Marvels is a fun movie that is for 12 year old teenage girls." Problem is 12 year old teenage girls do not watch Marvel movies.

    My first favourite book was The Worst Witch. A protagonist who is INCREDIBLY bad at magic, attending a school of magic.
    Her tenacity and compassion made me fall in love with her (literally, 6-7yo me ABSOLUTELY had a crush on a fictional character that translated to a classmate that looked similar)
    A good character, with flaws. In a young childrens book. (half of the pages are illustrations, so targeted to VERY early readers)
    In my early teens I read Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey.
    The protagonist is a young woman living in her ancestral home as a servant after it was invaded and her family murdered (not a spoiler, it's literally in the opening of the book) An INCREDIBLY strong woman who uses people, commits murder and is TERRIFIED of everything (bc of her circumstances)
    A character with quite obvious mental health issues and rather deep flaws was still an INCREDIBLY impactful protagonist for me (Lessa)
    From Xena to Buffy to Ellen Ripley to Sarah Connor and on (Starbuck from the modern Battlestar Galactica. An example of how you CAN "bring diversity" and make it actually blood work. Cara Thrace was more than just ladybits, dammit!)
    "Strong female characters" are quite literally my favourite things ever... My favourite from XMen was Rogue (followed by Gambit, but still... and I still have a kink for a southern belle accent) I always preferred Skully to Mulder and I even prefer to play videogames as a female character (if I'm gonna stare at a butt... I'd rather it were a girl)
    Why do they fuck it up so bad, when their core audience have ALWAYS been some of the most progressive and nonconformist people.
    You have to TRY and make these themes suck to succeed at it as well as they have.

    I would argue that the lack of character arcs is the "performative diversity" that you seek. Hollywood (and Disney especially) has made the rule that nobody under the DEI protective umbrella can be portrayed with any negative attributes. If a character can't have any downs, then there are no ups to achieve. I don't have to watch this movie to know that the marvel girls are perfect, and the villain is simply misunderstood and they'll all be besties at the end. They literally can't write it any other way (Although the lack of skill present in modern day Hollywood writers is definitely worth discussion. Modern Hollywood writers and directors are simply awful on so many levels that even if not hampered by politics, films are mid at best).

    Great video as usual. Cannot believe I only just got it suggested. The reason "the message thing" is not in the movie is because Disney is getting a little smarter. This movie was short. I bet you the cut Nia DaCosta delivered HAD performative diversity and the studio cut it in the final edit.

    Call me old fashioned, but I like women that are feminine, not masculine.
    After all, 300,000 years of human evolution isn't wrong, nor is it toxic.
    Black Widow, Wonder Woman (2017), The Scarlet Witch, etc... All great characters, all well written, and all Feminine.
    When Wonder Woman says, "But who will sing for us, Charlie?" A truly powerful feminine moment in film.

    So, a couple of things:
    1. I really like that standing desk! I used to have one at work that wasn't as fancy, and I really dug it. I work from home now, but am not sure I have a good spot for it, but that is a badass desk if I were to get one.
    2. I think a point you sort of touched on, but could stand amplification, is the practice I've heard Little Platoon refer to as "reverse gatekeeping." It's where a group/element claims to be a fan of an IP, and demands inclusion/representation. They get in because hey inclusion ftw amirite? Then they push out, or otherwise alienate existing fans by advancing a new narrative/turn that turns off foundational fans in favor of updates for "modern audiences." The IP falls flat commercially, the new group plays it off as "manbabies cry why do they care so much anyway" and move along to something else. But now the IP is trashed, and they're onto something else to either ruin, or be outraged by, thus starting the cycle again.

      Very true, and we’re seeing it in real time. I’m not a comics guy, but I’m informed the exact same thing happened and the industry sales are in shambles. It would be a good idea to touch on that more, and look Silver Surfer is a woman now! There’s another video right there, lol

    • @chaburchak
      @chaburchak 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      They're pandering to the wrong crowd with that one...rather than making Silver Surfer a woman, it's rather obvious that Galactus and the Surfer should be a cohabiting gay couple. And who better to play it than Cam from Modern Family as Galactus and Mitch as his herald. In the end, Reed Richards defeats them by figuring out that while Galactus may eat worlds, he secretly dreams of being an Auguste clown...

    Brie Larson is a great actor, who just killed it in Lessons in Chemistry! Nia DaCosta was in WAY over her head from the start! She had one B-movie to her credit, Candyman and a modest indie movie called Little Woods. A project of this magnitude should have been entrusted to someone with a proven track record for projects like this, not somone without the actual credentials to warrant such a huge responsibility. DaCosta simply didn't know what she was doing and that's the fault of the people who hired her and now Brie Larson, the MCU and Disney are paying for that mistake.
