No offense but I honestly couldn't give a shit. I've seen the damage this industry is having. This right wing slant to the industry helped the racist riots in my country recently. I've seen my friends kid come out of school crying as the boys told her she'll never be a vet cause all girls belong in the kitchen. Just today I had to teach my cousins daughter not to say the N word as she just randomly dropped it on her sister and she said he learnt it from the Andrew Tate stuff her brother showed her.

You can feel it's bleak. Personally I think a world where these people are being given relevance is what's actually bleak.

As for those that fall into billboard category, I mean I kinda don't know what to tell you. Their job title is influencer. They take sponsorships from marketing departments to influence people to buy stuff. If this isn't the case they need a new name because it's literally the title.

not much better

they took a mutant whose power is to NOT DIE under any circumstances, made him a Black man, and then they killed him in a really stupid way

and then the only other POC mutant ended up on the "bad guys" team leaving the "good guys" looking like this

yeah i fuckin hate First Class

From Alita:

Not as different, but I consider whitewashing infinitely worse.

Actually, throw in Ido too:

Changing Daisuke to Dyson and casting a white man to justify is it literally the "John Washington Kaneda" meme about the Hollywood Akira adaptation.

So accurate, much faithful.

Whedon openly hating and despising Roma so much that he cast two white people to play Romani people and then promptly killed one of them was pretty bad.

Nevermind the fact that he filmed at least one scene leaning into the stereotypes...

Y'know what I'd like to see? Maybe let women write and direct an Alien movie. I feel like doing the same Alien concept over and over again despite always being filtered through a male creator's lens is kind of holding the franchise back.

I saw the trailer a week or so ago and was just like "this looks like every Alien movie ever", and the reviews definitely lead me to the same conclusion my brain made off of the trailer, heh.

It's time for a different perspective on the concept.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/alien-romulus-review-thread-please-tag-spoilers.953301/#post-127178319

yea uh none of the other movies have been a rehash of Alien, that's part of the problem lol

I would argue the last thing ANY aging franchise needs is a rehash of a movie from the 80s with new actors shoved into the same old roles.

What they should be doing is seeking out new, talented, marginalized filmmakers with distinctly new perspectives on the genre to transform it into something more than "here's the old movies everybody likes and the badly-mangled horse corpse we've been punching for 20 years".

Fede Alvarez is Uruguayan and distinctly providing a new perspective by providing the first true horror-focused film in the franchise since the first installment...how is that now providing a marginalized filmmaker the opportunity to make a film with a fresh perspective?

It honestly sounds like you have a specific axe to grind but chose the wrong place to do it, and are now flailing wildly trying to make it fit. Like your argument makes sense in a vacuum. In an a review thread about an Alien movie with positive reception, made by a POC who wanted to make it, maybe not so much.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/alien-romulus-review-thread-please-tag-spoilers.953301/page-3#post-127183947

Agreed. Maybe the franchise about metaphorical (sometimes literal) rape and forced childbirth should be in the hands of women. Especially in our current political climate. 🤔

https://www.resetera.com/threads/alien-romulus-review-thread-please-tag-spoilers.953301/page-3#post-127184553

Right. As long as the central metaphor at play in these movies is about sexual assault, pregnancy and the horror of your body being destroyed by an unwanted invader feeding off of your life essence, it feels hollow to have a bunch of men constantly be the people telling that story, over and over again.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/alien-romulus-review-thread-please-tag-spoilers.953301/page-4#post-127194153

Kinda seems like reviewers are mixed on what they want Alien to be after Ridley's lore dump duology (which was spectacularly awful). A "back-to-basics" film that shows appreciation for what came before sounds like a good enough palette cleanser for now*.

* As PlaSma and I concurred, a woman's touch is very much needed to bring some life back into the series. Horror is such a boys club, it's ridiculous. (Well, the whole movie industry is but especially horror.)

[Daffy Duck]

FFS, are they really shitting up the alien review thread with their bullshit?

Let me guess, it should be a woman with a dick doing the film too considering they’re the only type of woman.

The reason they are so mad in the first place is because they see it as treason. Someone they loved on their side did a wrong think and refused to back down.

Harry Potter was always shit btw, just because she doesn't believe in the trаnny nonsense doesn't mean she isn't a hack. That Bloom pasta is spot on.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-drew-carey-show-is-streaming-on-plex.953718/#post-127205664

I rewatched this show a while ago and I kind of hate it now. They do almost every bad thing. They had Rush Limbaugh as a guest to show everyone how to be a good conservative about internet porn. They have an episode which laughs about a teacher engaging in massive sexual abusive of her students. They hurt homophobic insults at Mimi all the time.

EDIT: Looked through old posts and found my reaction while I was rewatching it, I forgot about this part.

I've been rewatching The Drew Carey Show for some reason and the first season was kind of telling. There's this little arc where Drew decides to make an office memo more palatable by including an image of a caterpillar having non-consensual sex with a french fry, gets sued by a woman in his office, he starts uses a bunch of ethnic pejoratives (all to white ethnic groups though) to make sure that the people he hires can "take a joke", he can't hire a lawyer because they think the first amendment is powerless and he can't win, he can't get a public defender because he's paid too much and thus "has fallen through the cracks in society", then he tries to flirt his way out with the judge during the trial.

It feels like it's mocking cancel culture and #MeToo, but it's doing it ten years before the MeToo movement actually started and twenty before it was popular.

The movement to actively normalize workplace sexual harassment and mock the idea of being considerate to an increasingly diverse workforce has been at work through mainstream media for at least decades.

Lmao I just love it when they get tied up in intersectionality

"I want this *insert minority to make a movie"

"Oh so you dismiss this *insert minority*??!!"

And at the core of it I wonder if they realize that they're implying that a woman automatically wouldn't make a normal ass Alien movie and that it would somehow be drastically different because I guess she'd rather have all those emotions (because you know, women are like that, right?) instead of making a badass James Cameron Aliens movie

[Besticus Maximus]

why can't we just have a single alien film from the perspective of a woman that kinda talks about women stuff 

[HaughtyFrank]

Prometheus has the main character literally perform a self abortion but I guess there's no subtext to that because a man wrote it.

Álvarez was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. In 2009, Álvarez released his short film Ataque de Pánico! on YouTube. Before premiering online, the film screened on October 31, 2009, at the Buenos Aires Rojo Sangre film festival.[1] A few weeks later, Álvarez made a deal with Ghost House Pictures to direct a $30–$40 million sci-fi film.

And can that man be David? And can it take place immediately following Covenant?

No, that and Prometheus sucked. Though I don’t blame them entirely. If they had been done as a separate IP/SciFi world I would have found them somewhat interesting. Instead it just felt strange.

Plus Covenant killed what… three characters by having them slip and fall via versus methods. No thanks.

I guess the only way Resetera can hate comic book movies is by declaring then racist

[killamajig]

I remember seeing an interview with Dan O'Bannon. He said they specifically went with the facehugger idea because it would scare men. I'm paraphrasing but he said something like men generally don't get scared from horror movies. But if it was something that basically face raped a man it would be more unnerving because of homophobia, manliness, etc.

So I find it ironic that they think a woman should head the franchise because somehow it concerns women more.

[DocWager]

Yeah, it’s usually men getting face raped in those movies.
