Gee John, tell us what you really thought.
To be honest, his descriptions make me realize I would agree with his take, if I paid to see this trash.
I won’t.
One day it will come to a medium I can view it on for next to nothing. And when it turns out to be next to nothing, I’ll feel like I got less than my money’s worth.
Sad.
I could already see some of this coming in other films. In the second Charlie’s Angel’s film, they had the women taking down men who were obviously not going to be taken down by them, but I dismissed reality to enjoy the show.
In truth we do that with men too. The things they try to convince you are possible, is way beyond believable these days. I might buy it from a well chiseled special forces type, but a girl that looks like she couldn’t survive a paper cut, not happening.
One of the new (to me at least) Marvel characters, oddly enough know as “Marvel”, is another character that is quite laughable on the screen.
I didn’t get the impression they were trying to put down men all that much, but the fact is she was supposed to be able to put down the previously invincible male Marvel characters. (so I may be wrong with the comment starting this thought off) It was incredible what she was supposed to be able to physically accomplish.
Used to be men took their dates to the movies. What’s it going to be now, a guy taking his date to a movie that depicts women could kick his ass in three blows? (Let’s ignore the Millennial Male jokes for the moment. We’re watching an industry in self-inflicted death throws.) What guy is going to foot the tab for that nonsense. The Football franchises are being harmed. Movie theaters are being harmed. What’s next, the apple pie and ice cream franchises?
If this keeps up, we can watch the ole movie theater go by the wayside.
It’s more than just killing movie franchises now.
Yes, and this has been going on for half a century now. In the old days, in movies and TV, men were depicted as strong and knowledgeable while women were the weaker but nurturing ones. As in "Father Knows Best", "I Love Lucy", "My Three Sons", etc. Then slowly, men were depicted as buffoons while women were the smart strong ones. As in "All In The Family" with Archie Bunker, "The Flintstones", etc. It has been downhill for men ever since. Pretty much killed commercial TV.
Apple pie is made with apples which are grown on carbon intense farms using slave labor to harvest
Ice Cream (real) comes from cows whose feeding is carbon intensive and who gas pollutes the atmosphere; fake ice cream is made using evil petroleum produces.
So yep, they are next ...
