How woke is this?

I haven't seen it yet, but first few minutes in there's a Black woman boss. Looks pretty intersectionally woke to me.

Black women can't be bosses?

[–] OvertonPendulum (4026) 2 years ago

Less likely due to IQ. And it's not just this movie, it's an increasing pattern.

Do not watch it.

[–] OvertonPendulum (4026) 2 years ago

I already have. It's not too woke, but still a bit overrated. I give it a 6/10

[–] actionkamen (23176) 2 years ago

It's just a high-budget Toxic Avengers. Both are overrated.

was the toxic avengers movie highly rated? it only has a 42% on metacritic.

Speaking of IQ, how are you not embarrassed to be like this?

Why should I be embarrassed for applying data and logic in my thinking?

[–] Burk48917 (10998) a year ago

because you didn't provide data or logic. That's why you should be embarrassed.

I heard it was surprisingly not as woke as people were worried about. They didn't have quite as much forced diversity as some films, and they actually had some white men as the "good guys." The guy who made this was allowed to focus more on telling a story than badly-written propaganda for a change. Guess the studio wanted to earn money instead of losing it for a change.

Yep, that's becoming increasingly rare.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (12365) 2 years ago

Of course, the term "good guy" is relative in this film ;)
