Stop cramming activism into everything and we won't hate the garbage you keep making.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
Damsel was horrible.
One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago "men are bad and will hurt you"
They'd burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that's before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.
Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
That might mean your belief system doesn't hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever but hey, maybe it's the one time in history that someone was offended by questions about their beliefs for a reason other than they're a trash fire.
Is that some kind of projection?
Yes when I watch a movie that hints at a progressive idea, I break my television in anger and then I cry
just like many of the democrat voters did when Trump won.
These comments scream little dick energy. How's that cummins running?
Sorry, all I heard there was “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Good to know you're incapable of understanding the substance of what people say.
Lol that's some serious cherry picking my dude. One is one of the best action movies of the last 20 years and launched a franchise. The other is a middling coming of age story made for streaming. There are plenty of bland action movies just as bad as Damsel and without an ounce of activism that come out every year. Try comparing it to Get Out, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Mad Max Fury Road, hell even Inglorious Basterds might be considered activism now that fascism is back in fashion.
