Women executives have wrecked The Walking Dead and Ghostbusters.

Let’s see what else they can wreck.

People want good stories and production. Make a good movie and people will show up. Make crap, and people go elsewhere.

It doesn't seem to be about producing a product people will pay to watch, but about making a movie they themselves can watch to get the warm fuzzies.

Scott Gimple screwed up the Walking Dead by turning their arcs into a monotonous formula. He’s a dude.

The special effects nightmares have run their course. PC will kill the Franchises. Time to go back to basics—Do the gritty Green Hornet film. An anti-Hero that just fights crime with fists and feet! (The Fan-Fiction on YouTube is rather good). Disney was a fool to buy Star-Wars—Why buy a dead horse? Beating it more will not bring it back to life. Idea Hollywood: Try making new things?

Wonder Woman had history: one of the Big Three, dating from 1941. Ocean’s Eight was a contrived and inferior offshoot without history.

If the Future is (strictly) Female, then they - Marvel Phase Four and Disney, and all their Femmes - will be going to the box office dance Solo, like Star Wars.

The commies do not understand that there are plenty of guys who enjoy an action chick [note deliberate wording choice, just to trigger any leftists] as long as it is not simply a character and narrative being exploited to force feed them propaganda camouflaged as inferior entertainment.

Looks very good. It certainly wouldn’t be anywhere near as costly as the mega budget franchise movies Hollywood keeps churning out.

Thank you. I have entered entered it in 3 more contest for this year. I figure that the more I do the more chances I have to win or get some notice on it. The slide show is not perfect, but it is the story and it is all true except the part that one of the Black soldiers survives and joins Lt. Wood.
