Hey, it’s a prequel so it works.

Wille was originally female but she self identified as male and did a sex change

Feminists are happy cause they flipped another character to a woman and the LGTBQ crowd is in heaven because they control the agenda

The movie bombs at the box office but who cares, its only money

The #metoo stuff is driving them to all virtue signal by spending shareholders money on "girl power" projects that guaranteed will lose money or, for established franchises, underperform.

People don't have a problem with strong female characters that overcome obstacles and grow as all good characters should do (Luke Skywalker was a bored farmboy who dreamed of glory and trained to be a total badass but came to realize his greatest strength came from refusing to fight; Ripley in Alien survived and fled but came back and learned to face her own fears and fight so she could save a child. Modern Star Wars Rey has no training or experience but is instantly the best pilot, best fighter, strongest Jedi ever without ever needing to struggle or overcome... oh wait, that makes her a terrible character). People don't have a problem with female character who kick ass (Ripley from Alien, Sarah Connor, Black Widow, etc). People do have a problem with forcing flat 2D flawless "Mary Sue" characters in that succeed for no reason with no training just because they are female. It's boring and insulting.

Remakes of classics and near classics usually just don’t work. True Grit is a notable exception, and that’s probably because the Cohen Bros. changed as little as possible, but still managed to make it seem fresh. A new Willy Wonka will probably do about as well as the Ghostbusters remake.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hollywood reboots Iron Man in a couple of years, with a tranny Tony Stark. The studios make enough money on a few things to finance their social agenda. I doubt anyone suffered for the Ghostbusters fiasco.

A woman? Way too conservative. The new Willie Wonka needs to be transgender.

The propaganda factory has to keep pushing the propaganda.

Yet another boring flop with a message on the way.

Nooo! I’m still furious about a female “doctor who”. If they wanted a show about a time lady, they should have made a spin off series!

You can be sure that the woman they choose will actually make Johnny Depp look sane by comparison.

I have not watched Doctor Woke but some Geek culture YouTubers I follow says the latest episode claims the original Doctor Who was a black female not William Hartnell.

That’s fine. Let the market decide if it fails or succeeds.

I love diversity. And I love our free market. Go for it.

Johnny Depp played a gay version.
I guess the next one needs to be a tranny or lesbian.
The first one was the only one worth seeing.

Soon to be followed by an article headlined: “New Willy Wonka movie disappoints at box office, experts unclear as to why.”

I could have liked a Romana based spinoff.
