Frankly, I don't believe that. The series has been getting overwhelmingly bad reviews period, exclusive of all the woke casting.
Reminds me of that awful all-female Ghostbusters remake, that they blamed its failure on “Trump Voters”.
The Critical Drinker addressed that exact topic just recently, and decided that the studios almost certainly are doing this, deliberately, to boost publicity for their films.
I think it used to be a lot worse. New “ratings” are pouring in. (Where have we seen that before?).
JFTR, I didn’t see the first one and won’t see the second.
Or the latest Charlie's Angels. If you don't like these flicks you are a chauvinistic misogynistic male pig! So there! Of course the fact that these were terrible flicks has nothing to do with it.
Everyone knows blacks can’t swim. /s
You are right, but there will always be people online who rush like lemmings to play the parts the studio has already written out for them.
More so than most others
Sure. How would the woketards react to a remake of the Jackie Robinson Story with, say, Mel Gibson in the title role. Or a remake of Lady Sings the Blues with Lady Gaga, or Taylor Swift portraying Billie Holliday.
Could it be Tom Hardy instead of Jeremy Renner?
A few years ago there was a musical called Hamilton that replaced all the white founding fathers with a cast of black people.
If a troupe of white people performed Hamilton, would that be racist?
Liberals would probably think so.
“Could it be Tom Hardy instead of Jeremy Renner?”
*********************************************
Absolutely! They could then cast Jeremy Renner as Wakanda’s Minuster of Science.
Sure, kick the gingers out the door. Everybody knows gingers have no souls.../s
“Why isn’t Ariel Latino or Asian if you really want diversity?”
For the same reason all the white liberals threaten to move to Canada instead of Mexico. Hypocrisy.
:) that works.
Who cares?
Critical Drinker called it.
They're making terrible movies aimed at a virtue-whining audience because no one else will buy such tripe. It's been downhill for the industry for more than a decade and it's not coming back.
Why spend a hundred million making a decent movie when you can spend a fraction of that, stir up controversy and sell the movie to virtue whining losers who want a pat on the head for supporting some anti-fake racist movie?
It's the same with "green energy", recycling, and any other virtue-whining cause. It's much easier to sell garbage to virtue whining losers instead of actually making a real product that can compete in the market.
What the hell? I thought you were kidding!!! But there it is! That is crazy. I must have heard about this cartoon and somehow it came back up, unreal.
