Stars Wars the feminist awakens

[Magic Poriferan]

This actually reminds me of how there were some people that were actually upset that Riptor, a dinosaur from Killer Instinct, is female.

Ugh it just makes me so sick. Like how Samus turned out to be a chick in Metroid.

Man. It must suck to have such a burning hatred toward something that is viewed positively by most that you can't even enjoy a movie without being haunted by a super-imposed narration of that onto a film.

Samus is awesome and badass.

It is what it is, I still enjoy other aspects of it.

netflix is just another head on the communistzionistfeminist beast. feminazi ladies can kick the creepy nice guys into the friendzone because they feel entitled to their vaginas just like rapists, then netflix and chill with the alpha men who are at least open about their feelings of entitlement to dat ass.

The Force Awakens sucked, it has barely a single original plotline and the quality of acting actually made me cringe. The directors will have to lean so much on the previous trilogies to make this work, now Disney has dispensed with the EU (Extended Universe). However, I don't really feel the movie was too brazenly feminist, but perhaps I was too focused on other things which went wrong.

Insofar as cultural engineering is concerned, though, I did notice the tired black man-white woman trope being peddled. It seems to me that more and more, that whenever the lead character in an action film is a white woman, a black man is not far behind. Oh well, it's all part of affirmative action I guess.

actually I find impersonating liberal douchebags even more fun.

I liked that movie. Thought it was fun and in the spirit of the originals. I really like sequels which re-cast the original actors in the same roles, apparently. I think the new independence day might be cool for that same reason.

I actually agree that Rey was "too good" at things without the narrative justifications.

Yes me too, that was one of my main gripes w/the movie.

Like that light saber battle, that would have been so much better if she was just kind of barely getting by. that was the most glaring/unrealistic to me.

Don't even get me started on the all-female Ghostbusters reboot. The problem isn't female Ghostbusters; it's the fact that Sony thought it would be a brilliant idea to take a classic film and swap the genders to make it "progressive." Even the receptionist is male. Who in their right fucking mind thought the director, writer and cast of Bridesmaids would be a perfect choice for Ghostbusters?

On the subject of Star Wars, Kylo Ren's only redeeming quality is that Adam Driver made this parody.

It always amuses me when lefties rant about "circle-jerks." The irony is truly remarkable, especially in light of Obama's supporters.

I don't have a problem with this, however, I think it puts women in a shitty position playing a mere parody of their male counterparts. It makes it hard to take seriously because I have a feeling it's going to come off as trying to be cute and quirky as opposed to just plain funny. It's a gimmick, basically. Of course, I hope I am wrong about this.

Edit: Oh wow, I didn't know who was the director until you mentioned.

I'm going to derail this thread like the Death Star[/spoiler]

Damn I thought you were better than that, I guess not.
