The Black Widow star

No one goes to an Avengers movie to see the Black Widow. Not even little girls. Johanssen is a token who gets overpaid.

Looks like a guy, but claims it is female. Really rotten scoundrel.

Scarlett Johansson is not guilty. While her good looks have saved her from my righteous judgement, she can still ligma balls.

Many people who aren’t paid what they are worth . . . should be happy!

world’s highest paid actress in 2018 and 2019, 20 ish years in the industry and disappointed she’s aging out of the leading lady role into the mother or aunt supporting actress role, while married to a commedian. The jokes write themselves.

People don’t go see the women, in most cases.

It doesn't matter because Hollywood has gone mad. Why? Simple. Harvey Weinstein destroyed it. He excesses were well known by everyone - male and female - and many women took advantage of it. When he fell from grace it was highly embarassing. First, that so many big female stars got there thanks to a man famous for helping women who slept with him (that embarssed the actresses who all were on record praising him like he was Jesus) and it embarassed the industry that they ALL knew and were caught with their pants down for being silent.

So the embarassed actresses decided to cover for their time on the casting couch by accusing every man in Hollywood of being a rapist (#metoo) and all them men in Hollywood responded by rushing to hire female creators and making every movie about flawlessly perfect women who effortlessly (and boringly) dispense with any conflict.

It all became an ever expanding circle of who could virtue signal the most. And profit was not important.

If you want to get paid what you think you are worth, lady, produce your own movies.

If you just want to collect a big paycheck while other people take all the risks, good luck with that.

I’ve seen her in a couple of movies, but couldn’t tell you which ones without looking.

Was that her in “Kill Bill”?

OK, now I’m going to go look up her filmography.

She got Best Supporting Actress for her role in the wonderful JoJo Rabbit. I hate Ho-wood movies but this was made by a fellow from New Zealand. Terrific satire on Hitler.

So she’s talented. And also highly paid. I really do not know or care about others’ salaries in H0-wood.

She’s done a lot of films, TV shows, and shorts. I count 68!

I’ve seen her just ONCE in “The Prestige” (2006).

“Scarlett Johansson Says Women Are Underpaid in Hollywood...”

And just how did she arrive at that conclusion? Who sets the minimum for female actors vs male actors? There are many female actors that get paid much more than their male counterparts. This isn’t a base-salary issue... it’s all about the actors ability to sell ticket at the box-office! A private sector issue that is negotiated at the private level. Making claim that ‘women’ are underpaid in Hollywood is no different then claiming men are underpaid in the escort service.

Complete nonsense because ‘pay’ equals exchange for labor, a negotiated exchange and not an entitled exchange. So if she feels women are underpaid in Hollywood, then the whining women should learn another profession that pays on par with their male counterparts like RN’s in California that get paid an average of $120k/year, same for both male and female nurses.

Just because you work acting rolls in Hollywood, doesn’t mean you are entitled to the same contractual rate as Brad Pitt if you are a male... or Scarlett Johansson if you are a female actor.

You get what you successfully negotiate for that is weighted on your star-power that the producers are gambling on that will translate to ticket sales.

Scarlett Johansson isn’t very bright and is a brainwashed equal-outcome advocate of the Marxist left.

To put it in Hollywood terms she could make more money on her back, working two hours a day than she makes making movies.
And that’s how, I assume, Feminists judge women’s pay.

Beautiful woman.
Shame she’s in a terrible movie from what I read.

I’ve heard of her, but no way I’d be able to pick her out of a lineup.

Men in lead roles in action movies are usually fighting a set of villains who are villains based on their individual actions.

Women in lead roles in action movies are typically acting like all White men are evil oppressors, even maligning the men cast as their allies for allegedly being sexist.

As a White man, I prefer movies that don’t portray me as a dehumanized monster because of my immutable characteristics.

Being a good socialist, she should split her salary equally amongst other female actors and crew on the movie.
