It's perfectly for women and POC to have a movie that's "eh fine I guess?". The problem is that tons of critics and people online think minority led films have to be amazing to "justify" the "risk" of having them.
In short, Brie Larson was right.

Imagine how smug you'd be if you were some Chinese propaganda officer who proposed to his commandant in the geek brigade that you should try to convince American youth to publicly say, "Bin Laden was right!" and you managed to achieve it even after comrade Weng called you an idiot for even suggesting it?

From NPR (Nazi Privitized Republicans) they argue that actually lots of movies had women in them (crazy huh?). Somehow Era ignored that when declaring the only reason people don't like Marvels is because there was too much vagina.

Quote:Nuns, pop singers, superheroes. There have been 11 weekends so far since Labor Day, and in more than half of them, the No. 1 film in cinemas not only starred a woman but, for all practical purposes, had no significant male role.
A demonic nun terrorized a Catholic girls school through most of September in "The Nun II."
Pop star Taylor Swift then revived everyone's spirits in October with her "Eras Tour" concert film.
movie heroines have easily out-distanced the male-led No. 1 fall films at the box office. In fact, they've had an impact on ticket sales this year that, if not quite unprecedented, is at least noteworthy. "Barbie," all by herself, contributed $1.4 billion to Hollywood's bottom line worldwide.
Disney's "Little Mermaid" remake brought in another half-billion plus.

Most are economically "right" but simply want to reroute the money to their NGO's, tech buddies and 'green' industries. They just pretend they are looking after the working classes. They use the same MO everywhere. Never touch the corporations or actual billionaires but destroy the small businesses, attack the middle class as bigots and racists, flood countries with illegal migrants who have no hope of finding jobs or education, promote 'dialogue' with the worst representatives of any given minority like Hamas, give the lower classes just enough to scrape by and threaten that the right will take it away. And pander, pander to every minority with an issue that only affects 0.1% of the population.

A one-punch-kill story.
Quote:Witnesses said Mr. Kessler had gotten into an argument with a pro-Palestinian demonstrator and fell during the altercation, sustaining a head injury, according to the sheriff. Mr. Kessler was conscious and responsive when law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, and at the hospital when they spoke to him again, the sheriff said.
But Mr. Kessler died hours later, in the early morning hours of Nov. 6.
I'm awaiting the Era reponse to determine the race of the attacker.

Maybe people just don't care that much about super hero movies and prefer to wait until they inevitably come out on Disney+ rather than spend a fortune seeing it in the cinema?
I know that after they started dumping those movies onto Disney+ within months of their cinema run, I almost stopped going to see them in the cinema.

Fuck corpos.
Also, Dove is backing our project. 
Good corporate is good.
Quote:In September 1929, Unilever was formed by a merger of the operations of Dutch Margarine Unie and British soapmaker Lever Brothers, with the name of the resulting company a portmanteau of the name of both companies. In the 1930s, the business grew, and new ventures were launched in Africa and Latin America. During this time, Unilever acquired the United Africa Company, created from a merger of the African & Eastern Trade Corporation and the Royal Niger Company, which oversaw British trade interests in present-day Nigeria during the colonial era.
Bad colonisers are bad
Quote:Dove describes itself as being dedicated to "help ... women develop a positive relationship with the way they look – helping them raise their self-esteem and realize their full potential". Dove uses advertising to display messages of positive self-esteem.
Axe, known as Lynx in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, is a toiletries brand marketed towards young men between the ages of 16 and 24. Its marketing is a "tongue-in-cheek take on the 'mating game'", suggesting that women are instantly drawn to men who use the products.
Both advertising campaigns make stark comparisons between how women and their sexuality are portrayed in advertising and sales efficiency. Lynx commonly portrays women as hypersexual, flawless and stereotypically attractive who are aroused by men, of all ages and stature, because of their use of the Lynx product.
But wait, there's more
Quote:Environmental record- Mercury contamination
- Palm oil
- Plastic pollution
- Rainforest Alliance
- Salmonella contamination
Controversies- Price-fixing
- Hampton Creek lawsuit
- Pressuring media to promote skin whiteners
- Violence against striking workers
- Trade in the occupied Palestinian Territories
- Trade in Russia amid the Russo-Ukrainian War
Maybe trying to virtue signal by identifying that you use certain products is not a good idea?
Maybe basing your personality on the brands that you use is not a great idea either?

The REAL women of Resetera: "It's only because the men in those women's lives gave them permission to go to the cinema to watch those other films but they obviously wouldn't allow them to go and watch The Marvels because of sexism and the patriarchy (which I was part of until I saw a Tik Tok video/played a video game which made me realise I had been a women all along)."

The big problem is that Trump tends to attract others like him (authoritarian populist) in global politics, and champion each other even if their politics and interests are, supposedly, incompatible. Remember that Trump suddenly was friendly with North Korea and the Taliban.
I’m sorry, but I will take 10 AOC over a Trump as the US president.

 Coldsun rn
I can’t believe no one with a burner shared screenshots of his Hogsharts Leprosy playtime in the TERF BITCH or constructive threads
Am I gonna have to use our shared riotous account to do it?
The word "Fun" was used over 110 times in THE MARVELS |OT| Fury's Angels thread.
The biggest spike of the usage of "Fun" came on Nov 9 with 11 hits of "Fun" on page 10.
Sounds like a fun movie!
I spend two days in hospital and get out and get home and then I see all the new posts to like...

"I wholeheartedly ask that we all work together to keep this thread as one of the possibly few online places were discussion is focused on the movie and its qualities that doesn't devolve into a toxic wasteland."
Fj0823 should follow their own thread rules and focus on the movie instead of devolving the conversation into toxicity with all their talk about CHUDS and Forspoken. It's not on topic at all.
