Go woke, go broke is such a stupid expression. I hope people finally stop using it now.
shareStupid to you, perhaps -- not to millions of normal people in this country.
There will always be those who support "wokeness" just like there will always be normal people who don't.
Nothing is absolute.
Have a nice day.
Barbie didn't "go" woke. Barbie has always been woke. It was completely expected to see female empowerment in a Barbie movie.
Go woke, go broke refers more to taking a traditionally masculine property and emasculating it for girrrrl powwwerr.
Lol no you are changing the definition. You are also moving the goalpost. You guys are the first to brag when a film that is diverse doesn't do well. Funny thing is you ignore when a cast full of whites tanks. Moonlight is woke and did not flop. As did many other woke films.
shareWTF are you talking about "you guys?" Tribalism has become the death knell for any sort of meaningful discourse.
shareDon't change the goal post and expect me to respect you.
shareJust ignore moviefanatic505, he is on a mission to piss people off and get attention. He's a very empty person and I hope he can find himself some help. Also gotta love how he not only admitted that this movie is "woke" (I personally haven't seen it as I am nowhere near the targeted demographic), but he selectively cherrypicked the one movie that apparently defies the "go woke go broke" mantra while ignoring every other "woke movie" that lost money.
shareThanks for the advice. I get that we all have different points of view, but I can appreciate some level of nuance in every discussion. There are different merits for different contexts.
A movie about Barbie should be different than a movie about Indiana Jones. I'm not sure what's so hard about this.
Yeah he's a really pathetic loser. Indiana Jones and Barbie literally have nothing in common with each other. Heads up, he also referred to Candace Owens as an "Uncle Tom" so hopefully that gives you an idea of what kind of a deplorable scumbag he is. You're doing a great job at putting him in his place, keep it up.
shareA fucking doll was woke? Lol, you people are a joke.
shareSo what you're telling me is that Barbie has not been about female empowerment for decades? That's your contention here?
Interesting.
No, a white, blonde, skinny doll with no opinions of her own was not representation of female empowerment. In fact, she represented a patriarchal idea of feminity.
shareI'm not sure about the "no opinions of her own" part, but she was certainly an idealized feminine figure. At least early on, before diversity Barbies entered the market.
shareDisney has lost over $1.2 billion this year.
You were saying?
Deflection. Barbie is woke as are many other successful woke films. Woke films like any other films have the chance to fail or succeed. The northman was a box office bomb. Starred all white cast. Everything everywhere all at once is a woke diverse film absolutely destroyed it. Any excuse for that?
shareLol I’m sure Disney is sure kicking themselves in the ass for passing on sound of freedom
shareThey have more important things to focus on. Like pushing the Democrat party agenda of policies that encourage the mutilation, rape, and murder of children.
shareSeriously, and I have seen videos of "detransitioners" who were depressed as children, a "gender specialist" told the parents that they are really the other gender and that they needed to have puberty blockers and "gender corrective" surgeries. A few years later the child totally regretted the transition and now there is irreversible damage to their body.
This shit should literally be illegal, this is child abuse. Children just like they can't consent to having sex shouldn't be allowed to consent to changing their gender. It's called wait until they are consenting adults, children do not have the maturity to make such life altering decisions, it's just like how they aren't mature enough to drive cars (at least until 16), join the military, see R-rated movies in theaters, have sexual intercourse, drink, smoke, etc.
Depends on the customer.
Bud Light went woke and lost money.
Barbie had feminist fans to support it so, it made $$$...
A classic female brand was correctly marketed to it's audience and Barbie and Ken were not race or gender swapped is what happened. Huwhite Supremacy has won.
shareYour point still fails. Catwoman is not white in the batman and it was a success. So um what happened? Oh and look Gordon also was black. You were saying?
shareWRONG. "Da Batman" wasn't much of a hit. If it ever gets a sequel, Pattinson will take a backseat to James Gunn's new DCEU Batman actor and be relegated to Elseworlds nonsense.
https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a39353052/robert-pattinson-the-batman-sequel/
"Sadly, Pattinson's Batman will take somewhat of a backseat to Gunn's eventual DCEU Batman—whoever that ends up being. The sequel to The Batman will exist as an "Elseworlds" story, according to Gunn, meaning that it takes place in a timeline completely separate from what he's creating in the new DCEU."
YOU MOVED THE GOALPOST...HE SAID BATMAN WAS A SUCCESS...NOT A HIT...IT WAS A SUCCESS...GETTING A SEQUEL WAS NOT PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
shareWow, you're really ignorant about the movie business. You're barely even worth responding to.
shareYEAH...I AGREE...YOU ARE VERY IGNORANT.
190 MILLION INTO 780 MILLION IS A SUCCESS...FUCK...IT'S A HIT TOO.
$134,008,624 domestic is probably why WB has no confidence in future Pattinson Batman trype. And why has moviefanatic505 disappeared?
shareJAMES GUNN...THAT IS THE REASON WHY EVERYTHING DC RIGHT NOW...AND RIGHTLY SO.
shareYes, James Gunn is in charge now since WB has no confidence in Pattinson Batman. Anyway, moviefanatic comparing Barbie to Batman in terms of race and gender was wildly flawed. Batman remained huwhite and Catwoman was played by Ertha Kitt in the past.
shareLMAO...YOU GUYS WILL ZIG AND ZAG EVERY WHICH WAY TO KEEP YOUR SHALLOW DEPTH BRAINCELLS THINKING THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT.🙂
shareLol again you failed. If they had no faith in it why is it getting a sequel? Also I said it was a success which it was. The box office and good reception by mass majority of people and critics prove that. Also if you adjust for inflation it made more than Batman Begins did. Which that often gets credited for the Batman renaissance. So it actually bested Begins. I know buddy it is hard to accept that something you don't like is successful. However time to grow up and face reality. Facts don't care about your feelings. Choke on it.
shareKeeping Batman huwhite is a victory for Huwhite Supremacy, anyway.
shareBut you couldn't keep Catwoman or Gordon white though huh? Shame.
shareEartha Kitt was accepted as Catwoman in the 1960s, but you wouldn't know about that. You think Zoe Kravitz is the first Catwoman race swap.
shareLol fail I actually mentioned Eartha Kitt years before. https://moviechat.org/tt1877830/The-Batman/61cdad1fa8e1e32d6e3c69f5/Pavlovs-Racism
There is an old saying when you find yourself in a hole quit digging.
HUWHITE?...REALLY...THAT IS SO FUCKING LAME...YOU ARE A WALKING EMBARRASSMENT.
shareWhat's really lame is Hollywood race and gender swapping classic characters to gain points with tards like you.
shareI AM STRAIGHT AND WHITE...NOT THAT IT MATTERS...WE ARE TALKING ART...ART HAS NO SET COLORS OR GENDERS.
shareBarbie has been a successful brand name, they could have made whatever movie they wanted and just slap the name "Barbie" on it and people will see it.
shareGHOSTBUSTERS...BATTLESHIP...THE GREEN LANTERN...LIGHTYEAR...THE MATRIX...POWER RANGERS...SOLO...SPACE JAM...THE TERMINATOR...WONDER WOMAN...SOME NINJA TURTLES AND MANY MORE BEG TO DIFFER.
shareThe movies you just mentioned are most either sequels or reboots of franchises people were already tired of. Nice try though.
share"Barbie has been a successful brand name"
AS ARE THE EXAMPLES I LISTED...NICE TRY THOUGH...BRING THE GOALPOST BACK,WEIRDO.🫤
Didn’t move the goalpost at all. The franchises you mentioned were already milked for all they were worth, there has never been a Barbie movie before.
shareNOT WHAT YOU SAID...AND NOT TRUE ANYWAY...GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 WAS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED...BATTLESHIP,GREEN LANTERN,LIGHTYEAR,POWER RANGERS,AND SOLO WERE ALL FIRST TIME OUT PROPERTIES...SPACE JAM AND WONDER WOMAN WERE BOTH SEQUELS TO HIT FIRST FILMS.

shareFake social media outrage means shit in the real world.
shareAnti-Wokesters are the Real NORMIES.
They're too scaredy-cat to use the N Word, so they think saying Woke replaces that.
These are the same knuckledraggers who think skilled slaves is a reason to support slavery.
