The Woketards have destroyed the Charlie’s Angels franchise, just like they did Ghostbusters, Terminator, and Men in Black.
We now have four lucrative franchises that were originally created to appeal to everyone — men, women, young, old… Then the strident feminists goosestepped in, took over, and abused their power to exclude men, demean men, humiliate and mock men. And each time, the result is the same: box office catastrophe, the death of a golden goose franchise.
Based on a dismal opening night, and the fact that at the first screening of Charlie’s Angels in my local theater I was the only person there (something that hasn’t happened to me in 30 years), it seems safe to predict director-screenwriter Elizabeth Banks has doomed her Angels to box office oblivion.
...
Charlie’s Angels isn’t about fun. Instead, it’s about cheap, unearned cheer moments, about preaching to a choir that hasn’t smiled since Anita Hill was proven a liar.
And then there’s the movie’s opening scene where Androgynous Bisexual Angel (Kristen Stewart) kicks a sexist pig’s ass while lecturing us about how “Women can do anything.” Soon she’s joined by Diversity Hire Angel (Ella Balinsk). Although together they weigh less than 89 pounds, both are able to take down more than a dozen 200 pound bodyguards.
This $55 million piece of exhausting garbage delivers 119 minutes of insufferable GRRRRRL power cheese… And other than one somewhat clever scene involving a wig, nothing works. Forget the ham-handed man-hating… Nothing, and I mean nothing works.

Are Thor and Bond shacking in their slippers yet ?
Yep and all this cheese leads to only one thing besides going broke. Constipation.
The woke crowd is nothing more than a bunch of constipated weenies.
Never heard of that one, but it sounds like it encapsulates the decrepit and lethal Women's Movement which I loathe and despise.
The Doll Squad (1973) predated the entire Charlies Angels franchise.

Big mistake in making this movie, was in not having Charlie's Angels be transgendered biological males who think they are female. Then the Angels would be capable of taking down a dozen 200 pound bodyguards! Of course it would still be a box-office disaster, but more believable.
I was in a women’s rest room today in a traditional diner in Western Mass, and the sweet little powder room had all these inspiring plaques on the walls about how much better women are than men.
Odd.
I think the Terminator simply ran out of feasible plots and premises. I mean, how many times can you go back in time to kill John or Sarah Connor? The franchise should have stopped at T2 (well, maybe T3, because T3 was almost as good as T2 IMO).
James Cameron is known for having butt-kicking female leads in his movies, so the wokeness doesn't apply here. Just that the franchise simply ran out of gas.
I've seen men's rest rooms that have inspiring messages on the walls about women. Not odd there.
To be fair, it was a really bad franchise to begin with.
Not if it were a comedy! I'd pay to see a movie about that dangerous gang of granny-hoodlums from Monty Python!
Who cares— is Hollyweird so bereft of ideas It has to continuously reach back into shows from yesteryears and do a botched up reincarnation?
Won’t get my $$ forked over for such tripe.
... I’ve seen men’s rest rooms that have inspiring messages on the walls about women.
Classic, for a good time, call 555-1212 (or some such)
Thor will be played by Natalie Portman in the next film. No, not joking. Her pal Valkyrie, who was made queen of Asgard, will be searching for her co- queen or whatever the title would be. No, not joking.
Oh, and James Bond won’t be a woman, but the next 007 will. No, not joking.
And then a big bearded person in a wig and dress walked out of the stall, looked at the plaques, and said, “Yeah, but I can pee standing up.”
Eliminating John Connor completely and making the new savior of humanity a woman of color is reasonably woke.
yep that’s what I’m talking about ,are they worried yet
everyone left after I said that...
Hit Girl would lay them all to waste.
To make women look strong, you have to make men look weak and pathetic. Says a lot about women.
