Woke movies keep on coming

So if it ain't white (male), it ain't right?

reply

Your strawman is noted and dismissed, loser.


The point stands. This shit is getting sooooo old and tired.



I LIKE, action girls. I have ALWAYS liked action girls, since the days of the Xena Warrior Princess, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Sara Connor,


But, when it seems to be the only story being told, it isn't cool. It's tiresome and insulting.


reply

It's hard for anyone to argue against anything other than a strawman when OP provided nothing of substance to reply to. Besides,

I have ALWAYS liked action girls, since the days of the Xena Warrior Princess, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Sara Connor, But, when it seems to be the only story being told, it isn't cool.


But it's obviously not the only story being told. Homepage of this website is proof against that. So you're being insulted by something that you've invented.


reply

It's being told too much. It has gone from a cool twist to an overdone cliche.

reply

Aren't movies with white male actors an 'overdone cliche'? Or is that different?

reply

White male actors were believable action stars, usually of the apex-maledom category. Many males saw them as archetypes of what peak masculinity looked like, hence the body-worship of the 1980s where people wanted to look like Arnold, Lundgren, Van Damme, and Stallone.

It wasn't an "overdone" cliche because they represented the typical male fantasy since the dawn of time. Men will never stop wanting to be alphas, nor will they ever stop wanting to achieve peak perfection so long as they have testosterone coursing through their body. Those movies were great escapism to allow men the catharsis of vicariously living out their fantasies through the heroism of the 80s/90s action heroes.

Today's feminist schlock is the complete opposite of that; a cache of subversion designed at no particular audience and used only to undermine male masculinity. The average woman does not want to be a gun-totting killer; the average woman couldn't care less about over-the-top martial arts escapism, and the average woman has no desire to be a testosterone-driven badarse. All of that is subversive feminist malarkey.

reply

Yep, the biggest problem is the idiots in Hollywood have forgotten that their goal is to make movies that get the biggest audience which equates to success. But when they make movies that cater to the smaller niche audiences they are never successful. It is why black centric movies don't do as well as white ones. Whites are the largest part of the American audience and people tend to prefer watching characters they can relate to. So making a movie that focuses on a minority like blacks is never going to be a good move. Just like making movies with female action heroes isn't going to win you any huge audience figures. The only way doing it can work is when you get a female star with big titties that fulfills another part of the male fantasy like when Jolie was in Tomb Raider... but in this movie the woman had a boyish figure which isn't going to be the typical straight male fantasy woman at all.

reply

So you two only watched action movies so that you could be all like:

"Wow look at the muscles on this guy , and he's white like me , I want to be like him"

It doesent follow that white males will only watch films with white males in
and white girls only watch films with white girls in
and latino men only watch films with latino men in
unless you're a xenophobe


I (a white man) can enjoy a movie like Kate , without thinking
"Shame she's not a man , then i could pretend its me"


reply

The way you have to restate what we say, in order to address what you say instead of what we say,

shows that you yourself know that we are right.


Woke movies do more than just have a strong female character. They have a strong female character that generally is a mary sue, AND they have to present any male characters as weaker, if not completely weak.


Sarah Connor made Terminator Two. But not at the cost of undermining either the memory of Reese, or the future John Connor.


Even the actual John Connor, while still aN adolescent was shown as growing into his future leading role, and providing real support and even leadership to the small group.


Contrast that to later films, where he was just killed out of hand and the womyn, was doing it for themselves.

reply

Exactly.

Even if we go back to the original Underworld or plenty of Michelle Yeoh flicks, they weren't aimed at undermining their male co-stars. Even in Cynthia Rothrock films she avoided having her male co-stars depicted as completely weak and emasculated.

These days it's the opposite, the men are weak and emasculated and the women are the Mary Sues doing everything a man does, like Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, where Poe and Finn are her generally goofy sidekicks rather than her equals/betters. In fact, I don't think Finn did anything useful or heroic on his own throughout the entire sequel trilogy.

But not only that they also make sure that they portray these women as being just as masculine as men and even being lesbians, so they have no interest in men. It's literally like feminists are saying that women can't be strong, accomplished, and tough without literally being men in women's bodies. It really speaks volumes to how misogynistic feminists and their Leftist male allies really are.



reply

The underworld movies are great examples of a strong main female character that does not need to have the male characters being weak around it.

Indeed, the bad guys, were presented as very strong and threatening opponents, which created real drama and challenge and the opportunity for growth for the character.

And thus were good and enjoyable flicks.

reply

LMAO..YOU GUYS ARE INSANE...YOU PAINT THESE IMAGINARY LINES ALL OVER EVERYTHING AND THEN GET BUTTHURT WHEN WOMEN AND NON WHITES CROSS THEM...YOUR EXAMPLES ARE ALL GARBAGE TOO...UNDERWORLD?...LMAO.

reply

Except, as the example shows, it is not "women" crossing lines that we are complaining about.

Were you too retarded to get that? Or are you just a troll throwing shit like a monkey?

How about someday, you address what we actually say, instead of the shit you make up in your own head, leftard?

reply

UNDERWORLD?....THE WHITE LEAD,THE ULTIMATE CREATURE IS THE LAMEST LEAD EVER AND SPENDS THE WHOLE MOVIE BEING PROTECTED BY A WOMAN...HE GETS EVEN LESS EFFECTIVE AND THEN DEAD IN THE SEQUELS...AND T2?...LMAO...I LOVE THAT MOVIE BUT COME ONE...SARAH IS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE NON CYBORG IN THE FLICK...JOHN IS A CHILD,DYSON IS BLACK,ALL SRAHS EXS WERE DICKS,THE FOSTER PARENTS ARE DICKS...SHIT NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT...BOTH KILLER CYBORGS ARE CLEAN CUT WHITE DUDES.

reply

All you just did there, was prove that you are willfully ignorant of what our complain is.

Underworld was NOT woke. That you cannot understand that, despite people discussing what woke is, for years at your head, is because you are choosing to miss the point.

reply

YOU ARE AN IDIOT..YOU CLAIM ONE MOVIE IS WOKE FOR BULLSHIT REASONS AND CALL ANOTHER MOVIE WITH EVEN MORE "WOKE" ELEMENTS NON-WOKE...BECAUSE IT SUITS YOUR SHITTY OPINION...A SHITTY OPINION WHICH YOU DON'T EVEN BELIEVE...BUT IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN SAYING YOURE A FUCKING RACIST/SEXIST PIECE OF SHIT.🙂

reply

What "woke elements" do you image that Underworld had?

I also note that your post, was fucking retarded, and said nothing. Are you trying to make teh case that you are really stupid enough to not get the point, as opposed to willfully ignorant?

reply

LMAO...KEEP SELLING...I'M SURE SOMEBODY IS BUYING...I GUESS.🤔

reply

I asked you a question so that you can explain or support your position.

Instead of answering, you talk shit.

Got it. YOu are just a troll boi, without a brain.


reply

YOU REPEATED A QUESTION I ALREADY ANSWERED...PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU GUYS THINK ENDLESS TALKING DILLUTES YOUR BULLSHIT.

reply

The hybrid guy did have to be protected by the female lead.

BUT, he had potential and was presented sympathetically, not made a mockery of.


Meanwhile other male characters, such as the Victor were presented as strong and thus challenging enemies, not punching bags to be easily swept aside.


Compare that to say, Capt. Marvel, where the big boss fight against her former team leader had all the dramatic tension of stepping on a bug.


My point stands. I LIKE strong female characters. I do NOT like woke movies where they think that the way to have a strong female character is to push the message that all men are inherently weak, especially WHITE men.


That is shit writing. It is not true. It is insulting to the fans, male and female.

There is nothing good about doing that.

reply

LMAO...YOU AREVERY GOOD AT FLIPPING POINTS TO WORK FOR YOU...UNFORTUNATELY IT ONLY MAKES SENSE TO DIPSHITS LIKE YOURSELF.

reply

Your inability or refusal to distinguish between actual strong female characters and shit Mary Sues, is you being stupid.

That you insist on lying about what our actual complaints are, is you being an asshole.

reply

MMM HMM...WOKE IS STILL IMAGINARY AND YOU ARE STILL MENTALLY QUESTIONABLE.

reply

This is Moviechat, We are making a valid complaint about shitty movies and you are being an asshole insulting us.

reply

THIS IS MOVIECHAT...YOU ARE WHINING ABOUT WOMEN AND NON WHITES LIKE A SKIN KNEE'D BITCH.

reply

This is movie chat. I am complaining about people that make shit movies and you are simping for them, like a cuck.


Are you a white male?

reply

SIMPING AND CUCK...NOW I KNOW YOU'RE A USELESS LUMP OF FLESH...YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE DICKHEAD VOCABULARY.🙂

reply

I talked a lot about the movie and gave examples to disprove your stupid claims. All you did was restate your premise and call me names. So, we are where YOU took us. You simping cuck.

reply

YOU TALKED IN FRACTURED CIRCLES AND ALTERED FACTS TO FIT YOUR DISTURBING NARRATIVE.

reply

Nah. YOu just pretend that, because of your stupid claim that being against woke movies is being against women or minorities centric movies.

Me pointing out examples of women or minority led movies that were NOT woke, is not me "talking in circles" but me proving you wrong.

Dumbass.

reply

WOKE IS THE PERVERTED CONSTRUCT OF THREATENED WEINIES.

reply

I've already refuted that, several times with examples. YOu are just stonewalling now, like the simping cuck you are.

reply

REFUTED DOESNT MEAN SCREAMING WHICH MOVIES YOU LIKE AND DONT LIKE AND ASSIGNING ASSININE LABELS TO THE ONES YOU DON'T.

reply

Correct. It means offering examples that disprove your points.

Which I did repeatedly.

reply

YOU DID?...HOLY SHIT...I MUST HAVE MISSED THAT.🙂

reply

You are just a stonewalling, simping cuck. Plenty of examples given of movies with strong female or minority roles that were not woke. you are a liar.

reply

I MIGHT BE A LIAR,BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP YOU FROM KNOCKING ME UP.

reply

What are you even talking about, now?

reply

OUR HATE BABY.

reply

I thought this guy just had like, a white muscle-man fetish. But it's hilarious that he doesn't consider Underworld woke even though it satisfies all the woke conditions that he listed throughout this thread. I'm dying XDD

THE WHITE LEAD,THE ULTIMATE CREATURE IS THE LAMEST LEAD EVER AND SPENDS THE WHOLE MOVIE BEING PROTECTED BY A WOMAN...HE GETS EVEN LESS EFFECTIVE AND THEN DEAD IN THE SEQUELS


So true XD

reply

leftard?
I take your a righty then?
what a surprise the woman hating mysogenistic racist is a trumptard.

How about someday, you address what we actually say,
It just gets so tiring anlysing the drivel coming forth
After so much squealing about "wokeness" you get to realise you are all deluded wingnuts ,
and whatever you're crying about this time will be the same shit because a woman or a colored is on the screen.

All that justification about "we dont mind women leads , cynthia rothrock etc" is all total bullshit once you look into any given example .

Case in point - look at Kowalski's answer to your Underworld and T2 cases.
Pwned.

reply

All Kowalski did there, was demonstrate that he is willfully ignorant. Underworld was a fun action movie, with a strong female lead, and was NOT woke.


That demonstrates that all your talk about "misogyny" is just you missing the point on purpose.

reply

KATE IS A FUN ACTION MOVIE ,WITH A STRONG FEMALE LEAD,AND IT IS NOT WOKE.


SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO JUST MAKE SHIT UP ON THE SPOT TO SUIT YOUR MALFUNCTIONS?

reply

I made up nothing about Underworld. I was discussing what it actually was.

That you make no distinction between fact and lies, is a reflection on what kind of person you are.

It has nothing to do with me. So, yeah. That is all there is to say about that.

reply

I AM FINE WITH THAT...THE POSTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

reply

Then why are you even here posting? Seems you think there is something that needs added.

What is clear is that you are able to express your disagreement, but not able to explain it, or support it, except by being a snide little troll boi.


Underworld was not woke. It had a strong female lead, but she was not a Mary Sue, and the film had plenty of strong male characters that supported or challenged her.

It was a good, fun, action film, not leftard propaganda.


We like good films, not crappy films or films that are about propaganda not entertainment.

You are willing to sacrifice entertainment for partisan politics and you are too much of a troll to be honest about it.


reply

LMAO...SO WOKE IS BASICALLY WJATEVER YOU DECIDE IT IS?...NO WONDER ITS SO CONFUSING FOR US NON DICKHEADS.

reply


Dude. YOu are pretending to be stupid, so that you do not have to defend your position.


That is you being a HUGE DICKHEAD.

reply

WOKE IS THE NONSENSICAL CONSTRUST OF THREATENED WHITE MEN.

YOU SOUND SADDER AND SADDER THE MORE YOU SQUIRM.

reply

You sound like an asshole that can't back up the stupid shit you have been saying.

I've given plenty of examples of strong female or minority characters that I enjoyed and/or supported.

That alone demolishes your position, that this is just me being "threatened".

You are stupid and you are a coward, who is now reduced to stonewalling because further discussion is making it clear even to YOU, that your position is retarded.

reply

RETARDED ISN'T AN INSULT...WOKE ISN'T REAL..YOU ARE A BABBLING CHILD.

reply

Woke is a people like you turning entertainment into anti-male, anti-white propaganda trash. Your denial is just you being a gaslighting troll asshole.

reply

I AM WHITE...I AM MALE...I AM STRAIGHT...YOU AND WHINERS LIKE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

reply

Just because you are a white male, does not mean that you can not be a cuck simping for those that produce anti-white males crap movies.

And you have proven that nicely, Mr Cuck.

Or do you prefer Mr Simp?

reply

YOU SOUND LIKE A MORON...I LAUGH ATEVERY ONE OF YOUR REPLIES THOUGH.🙂

reply

Even the ones where I presented examples that took your premise and crushed it like a bug, or the ones where I pointed out what a simping cuck you are, for supporting anti-white male racism and sexism while being a white "male"?

I don't believe you. I think you are just lying now.

reply

LMAO...YOU CAN SAY THE SAME INCORRECT MUSH IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS...THERE ARE PLENTY OF DENTED HEAD SIMPLETONS WHO WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU STARTED A PODCAST.

reply

Plenty of people already doing a great job of it, such as The Critical Drinker, or The Quartering or even Nerdrotic.

The Critical Drinker has a couple of great ones where he pretends to like Captain Marvel and discusses what a great movie it is. Oh, or the one where he pretends to think Black Panther was a great movie! Pure gold.


reply

UGH...THE CRITICAL DRINKER IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING...NOW I KNOW WHY YOUR SCHTICK SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR.

reply

My SCHTICK? Like where I talk about actual movies and what is wrong with them, or what is right with them?

Yeah, i can see why that would be a problem for you.

reply

You are a white male and probably gay as well which would make Kate the perfect female for your preference as she looks more like a young male than like a woman. But hey, keep trying to pretend that you are the quintessential example of an American male... everyone on this board will simply laugh.

reply

I'm gay?
you're the one lamenting the lack of big muscly men on the screen to swoon over

reply

You say it like its a question. Come on out of the closet and stop trying to project your lifestyle on others.

reply

you still havent explaind why you're outraged at the lack of oiled up steroid freaks on the screen. You can always go watch your WWE i guess ...

Although i believe they have women doing that as well these days so i guess you wouldnt be able to get off properly

reply

As opposed to an underdone cliche?

Welcome to the Department of Redundancy Department.

reply

>But, when it seems to be the only story being told, it isn't cool. It's tiresome and insulting.

There's a hundred years of movies starring men and you have a problem with there being action movies about women? I'm not going to call you anything because you're going to get triggered af.

reply

But we don't have a problem with actions movies about women. That point has already been discussed and demonstrated with multiple examples.


Are you really that dim, or are you just talking shit to distract from the fact that you the woke shit you are defending, is actually shit?

reply

Ok, what do you have a problem with then? Because your kind pops up to complain about every women/minority centric movie.

reply

They want, so desperately, to find an excuse to be racist, misogynistic, jerks. It's amusing to watch them try to come up with a defense.

reply

No, we don't. That point has been discussed and demonstrated with examples.
"
Look at teh examples. Pick one. Ask yourself why someone who you think is "blah, blah, blah, bullshit" liked it.


You are the one that doesn't understand what is being discussed.

reply

>Look at teh examples. Pick one. Ask yourself why someone who you think is "blah, blah, blah, bullshit" liked it.

I read this three times and still don't understand wtf you're trying to say.

reply

You claim to think that our complaint is just having "women or minority centric movies", yet the examples prove that is not what our complaint is.


As us telling you what our complaint is, has not had an effect on you, despite it going on for several years, I thought maybe you should look at the example(s) and ask some questions about why we liked them, despite women/minorities.


Underworld has been mentioned. I enjoyed it. The fact that the lead role was a woman did not bother me.


Yet, I do dislike woke movies.


Considering your position, this should prompt some questions from you.


You getting any of this yet?

reply

of course dudes love male fantasy movies, yawn. Let me guess, you like Alien and Terminator too?

reply

Wow. Your understanding actually DECREASES as you read more information. Incredible.

Let me ask you a question. ALIENS had a female lead who kicked ass and took names. Why is it not "woke"?

reply

It would be if it came out today by your standard.

reply

Not if they kept Hicks and Hudson. Those were great, even iconic male characters. Hudson mentored Ripley, taught her how to use the assault riflt/grenade launcher.

Now, if you did a reboot, and you genderflipped Hudson, to be a chick, or non-binary, and cut the scenes where Hicks went down fighting like a man, while making Ripley even more of a bad ass without needing any additional training,


then it would be woke. And suck.

reply

So, action/science fiction should conform to your male fantasies where heterosexual white men are the heroes or at least are responsible for making the woman who she is. Gotcha.

reply

The bit where you have to change what I said, and then address that INSTEAD of what I said, is,

a. you admitting that you know you are wrong, and

b. you being an asshole.


My point stands. I have no problem with female leads, strong women characters, blah, blah, blah, any of that shit that you people lie and say is my "real complaint".


My complaint is what I said it was. I dislike movies that try to make a woman character strong, by pushing the message that men are weak, especially white men.


I have given multiple examples with detailed explanations.


So far, your "rebuttal" has been to ignore my actual points and to restate your initial premise.


That is the logical fallacy of Proof by Assertion, where instead of making a coherent supporting argument, you just repeat yourself a lot.


You want to address what I actually said now, or do you want to play some more bullshit games?


That is a rhetorical question. I have NEVER had a lib that could really defend woke movies.


reply

tl;dr

reply

There's a hundred years of movies starring men and you have a problem with there being action movies about women?


The problem isn't that there are big-budget, theatrical action movies starring women, the problem is that they've come at the expense of masculine male action heroes.

Your next reply will be a list of cape-films to prove your point, when in reality, even those are starting to dwindle down the starring roles of masculine males, especially white males. Captain America was replaced by a black guy. Thor is being replaced by a woman. James Bond is being replaced by a woman. Hawkeye is being replaced by a woman. And Iron Man is being replaced by a woman. So, thanks for proving my point... even with cape films.

reply

Oh, gimme a fucking break. "You will not replace us"

reply

fuck cape films, they are for children .

besides:
" dwindle down the starring roles of masculine males, especially white males."
How can it not "dwindle" when in the "good old days" only white men were allwed on screen?

reply

So if it ain't white (male), it ain't right?


Apparently to the the anti woke crowd (who let's be honest is thoroughly inundated with casual white supremacists/alt right rejects) anything that isn't a white male sausage fest is "Woke", "SJW" propaganda. Nope, everything has to always have a big strong & sweaty white man at the forefront for them to project themselves onto or else their fragile egos can't handle it.

reply

I just don't know why this particular horde chose a movie chat site to congregate. Movies have always been America's most progressive step forward. I can't think of a single film outside of religious propaganda that extols a right wing message so every single movie must just piss them right off.

reply

I just don't know why this particular horde chose a movie chat site to congregate.


Everyone likes movies more ore less, which includes insecure white supremacist/alt right degenerate types who by the way are way more numerous than most people care to admit. You're going to find them in pretty much any lightly moderated discussion board spewing their rhetoric wherever it is tolerated. I only see 10 posts in this thread which means a few of the usual white supremacist suspect trolls on my block list are posting here.

"Movies have always been America's most progressive step forward. I can't think of a single film outside of religious propaganda that extols a right wing message so every single movie must just piss them right off."

Again alt right rejects will always continue to pay to watch these movies just like everyone else even as they complain non stop about "wokeness" i.e. anything that that offends their alt right, white supremacist sensibilities in the slightest.

reply

Examples have already been provided to disprove that nonsense. That you are ignoring what we actually say, to make up shit and then address that,

is what is known as a STRAWMAN.


People use STAWMEN, when they are on the wrong side of an argument AND THEY KNOW IT.
