Captain Marvel and social justice's corruption of Hollywood entertainment.
I have no interest in these.
But I am quite interested in Alita Batte Angel. The lead character happens to be a girl, but that’s not the point. The big question is: what does it mean to be human? That’s a decent question and does not have anything to do with SJW concerns.
SJW are guilty of the crime of being boring.
I’ll go see Captain Marvel; only because I’m a Marvel fan since I was a kid, 50+ years ago.
I dunno about Star Trek. Was never a big Star Trek fan.
“They” said the young Han Solo movie was full of Leftwing crap to the point I wasn’t going to pay to see it.
Later I watched it for free on a airlines flight—both me and my 18 y.o. son—and we both liked it and noted we didn’t see any of the supposed SJW/Leftard elements in it.
So sometimes people over exaggerate that aspect.
Like so much in today’s culture, conservatives learn to tune it out or ignore it.
Defintely not nerds. “Nerds”, or rather fandom of such things as comics and scifi are increasingly becoming conservative in response to being told in their beloved franchises that white males (in other words, them) are toxic and terrible. They are the ones who are criticising Captain Marvel and Star Trek Discovery as being too SJW centric.
Star trek discovery is made for those who wish to boldly pay where no man has paid before.
I don’t know what to say about Captain Marvel, but Star Trek Discovery is for SJW types and diehard trekkies who would watch a fish tank if it had a Star Trek background.
OGRE!!!
I’m an Alpha Beta fan.
You can’t call Star Trek or Star Wars science fiction anymore. They’re social justice fiction that explores gender orientation and skin color. Boldly going where no one wants to go.
A dystopian vision of leftist SJW’s who will always have the mentality and emotional well being of a 13 yo girl.
Can you imagine the sheer hell on earth that would be for anyone? No need to imagine it any longer. A high percentage of Millennials are living it. I just hope Gen X doesn’t follow in their footsteps. We would have a nation of cisgender paintie sharing.
I outgrew superhero movies a long time ago,
while Star Trek: Discovery is made for feminist
snowflakes and beta-males.
Real men watched the reboot of Battlestar Galactica.
What real women watch, I haven’t a clue.
“to boldly pay where no man has paid before.”
This is why I won’t watch it. Like the new Star Wars offshoots - They are available, but I have to pay MORE every month for it ?
I’m not doing it. I won’t march to that beat. I already pay too much to watch this stuff. I did learn that if I wait long enough, I can buy a used boxed set off ebay for a fraction of the price.
It works out better.
As far as the new cinematic epics - My biggest problem is the Chinese. The Chinese have more control over what we watch than we do. They made these movies seem like the Chinese are the best. I can’t stand it.
True.
Actually, the Chinese see an opportunity.
Hollywood is embracing a new progressive socialist SWJ narrative that is unpopular to the bulk of America. They are remaking Die Hard with an all-female version and rewriting history to fit the progressive narrative(s).
Meanwhile, the Chinese are engaged in movies in both English and Chinese, using both English and Chinese actors. They take place in futuristic settings with decent CGI and follow the age-old adventure story line. They do not use any of the SJW narrative, and instead have traditional families (even if dysfunctional) and good hard-working leadership roles. Roles that people would like to emulate.

“What real women watch, I haven’t a clue.”
The stove.
China’s making a lot of war movies now. The kind of stuff we used to do. Chinese troops in Indochina and Somalia. Scary.
Not me, I know that much.
Star Trek: Discovery is STD <- yep
Awful show with an angry women who caused a war with the Klingons yet gets promoted. No warp drive but stupid spoor drive... Not one character you like in the show. There are fans films done better but cbs exec Les Moonves who used women stopped new fan films from being made.
The show is made for liberals who want to destroy popular shows.
Captain Marvel ain’t no girl, but I’ll watch the movie anyhow, with the volume turned off.
