    Well, the entire Board of Directors are all personal friends of Bob Iger. So the shareholder representation in the C-suite that is supposed to oversee and check the power of the CEO are in fact in the pocket of the selfsame CEO. So the giant corporation that controls a disproportionate share of the entertainment we enjoy(ed) is run by a power-mad dictator with a rubber-stamp committee to provide a veneer of legitimacy. While Kathleen Kennedy may have put the idea of "expanding the fanbase" in Bob Iger's head and encouraged that decision be made, Bob Iger and his lackeys (I may have misspelled Board of Directors there) had to sign off on the plan. Though considering the Board includes some of the main enforcers of "stakeholder capitalism," including BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, I think those seats would have signed regardless. And don't forget what happened after "The Last Jedi" spawned The Fandom Menace, and "Solo" subsequently bombed. Bob Iger swooped in and said "The buck stops with me."

    What’s also funny about the cast member trying to paint blowing up the Death Star as morally gray is that it was literally getting ready to destroy Yavin the same way it did to Alderaan while the battle was going on in space, since the empire now knew it was the planet where the rebel base was located. Had nothing been done, millions more would’ve died along with another planet being destroyed. Only a stupid amount of brain rot from moral relativism and post-modernism could even conjure up such an absurd idea that destroying a literal doomsday weapon mere moments before it was about to wipe out another planet could be considered “morally gray” just because there were people aboard the Death Star. By his own logic the allies were morally gray because a lot of Nazis died, lefty morality is wild.

    Pushing a particular ideology rarely succeeds - right or left. Developing diverse characters with nuanced motives inside great story telling is absolutely possible - look no further than The Expanse. A mature show with mature themes that explores the grey areas of morality with a staggeringly diverse cast of actors inside a well written script. I read the Expanse books as well and even in there it looks out at humanities future and paints what I believe is a believable story that is full of people of extremely varied backgrounds, orientation and outlooks. It elevates no one group or set of characteristics over the other. Even the main protagonist Holden has serious blind spots and weaknesses as do each of the crew members. What Disney is doing will not work because it’s simply not reality and not believable.

    I agree with the core of the video that modern feminism and the manosphere group are equally insufferable and ultimately driven by ego, resentment, and lack of accountability. However, I have to disagree with your takes on the Barbie movie. While the movie is a feminists film, it is definitely also a satire that points at how ridiculous patriarchy is as well as a hypothetical matriarchy. The reason why barbieland is portrayed as perfect in the beginning is because from the perspective of Barbie(a woman), it would be. She and the other women wouldn't notice the issues with their society and how it is affecting the kens. The same men in the "real world" are unphased by the issues that women face. The whole point of the movie is that no society run by one group people (men or women) is a perfect society. The movie doesn't act like barbieland is perfect. It just shows you that Barbie thought it was. Still agree with the main points about the whole men vs. women, tho.

    I think that westerners just need time to get used to the African style of storytelling. I definitely feel like in the past before action films took off, build up in movies were the norm. We have gotten to used to things happening fast and not giving ourselves enough time to immerse in everything. Honestly, I feel that's why are movies lost so much substance.

  •  Před 6 hodinami

    pre-prequel could have been so good. The whole idea of the prequels is that the jedi lost their ways. From a religious force for good they turn(ed) into war generals and get entangled into politics. Which made palpatine win, cause he controlled all the politics and war. Why couldn't they just tell a story of jedi (faithful and idealistic) losing their way and falling for sith schemes, that turns them into the jedi we know from the prequels (arrogant and gullible). Would have been great. And yes, they can have their women leads, no problem. Just make the story a good one :;)

    Episode 3: "The Force is LITERALLY Female"

  • @TheNuclearGeek
    @TheNuclearGeek Před 6 hodinami

    I want to know why men are not allowed to keep anything where they are the primary audience? What's really ridiculous is they are operating under a false premise at best, and maliciousness at worst. They talk like there is no shows, no movies made with women as it's target demographic. Kathleen Kennedy and the rest of them act like they HAVE to force an audience change to women because women have nothing for them, but everyone should know that is absolutely ridiculous. In the end, it only seems a malicious attempt to destroy anything that has a predominantly straight male audience regardless of the fact that men have NEVER actively kept women from enjoying these things too. As far LGBTQIABCD/?&, it would be idiotic for a company to target that demographic and that demographic alone because it doesn't make up a large enough population to support anything. This has typically been solved by targeting women and "queer" audiences to the same shows. Representation is fine. OVER-representation as some kind of means to "fix" an (non-existent) oversight of the past is also ridiculously stupid, because, again, they are too small of an audience and as much as you want to bitch at people, you can't make people watch what they aren't interested in. So, by all means, let them scream "bigot, bigot, bigot" all the way to bankruptcy. I fail to see how a group of people can be so "oppressed" yet simultaneously seemingly have carte blanche to make and release anything they want regardless of how many failures are racked up and how little experience they have in creating anything. Again, the ONLY goal seemingly is to drive men AWAY or destroy what men are interested in.

    You know why they never fired her yet! The "Force is female" and all that garbage was simply to let the HORDE (SJW groups SPECIFICALLY the Feminist movement) in TO protect her! She's a Female HIGH LEVEL EXECUTIVE! Those movements WANT someone of her influence on their side! So it's a MUTUAL using of each other that they are doing and they both KNOW IT! The Higher ups and Bob WANT to can her or remove her. But they can't out of fear of a the Feminist organizations backing her! But as they SLOWLY lose influence and power (because all they've backed is blowing up on them and people are leaving in mass) Kennedy's prospects are looking GRIM! The moment she is asked to "move on" is when you KNOW they've lost enough control or Disney and Bob are desperate and the Shareholders go "FUCK WHAT THOSE SJW WANT, GET RID OF HER AND FIX THINGS NOW!" Either way, looking at them padding the numbers as always (seriously they never learn! A Lie doesn't work again IF YOU ALREADY WERE CAUGHT DOING THE SAME FUCKING LIE!) we know the inevitable is coming and so do they! Prohibition showed that groups can use their NUMBERS to influence decision making to their advantage! It's how that happened in the first place! The Anti Alcohol crowd used their numbers to get the "right" politicians into power and showed those numbers can get them UNELECTED next election that they got what they wanted, and it's only once Prohibition didn't work and they started losing their numbers to THREATEN politicians with because the ones they COULD control started losing influence and the ones they couldn't un-elect or control started to gain traction that we ALSO learned that method doesn't have much STAYING Power if nothing but failure are the results! They just don't THINK because they assume they'll have their high numbers Forever! The point of that WAS to not have to rely on it forever! Which is why they are HORRIFIED when they lose influence because "shocker" turns out the only reason POWERFUL PEOPLE entertained them was because they had SOMETHING to gain from the affair, now that their a NOBODY, why should they entertain a LOSER anymore!

    As a regular viewer of sci-fi familiar with Star Wars but not super invested in the franchise, the promotional media told me right off the bat this was not a show for me. I’m not interested in that agenda or those political views. I see them enough outside of entertainment and being told this was entirely focused on that was an instant pass. From the various reviews, including yours right now, it seems that was the right choice.
