What is wrong with having a show that appeals to boys/men, or having a strong male hero?
Thankfully I cancelled Netflix over a year ago, but of course I heard about the bait and switch which is pretty commonplace now. The shill websites are doing the usual fan attacks as well as praising the "stunning and brave" direction. One even called it a "radical reimaging". Netflix obviously should've just openly stated that it would be a show about Teela but they know there wouldn't be an audience for it (outside of the sycophants in media). They knew that people who grew up watching He-Man would want a show about He-Man. Although I would rather market to them because they would most likely have kids and buy merchandise, but it makes much more sense to market to blue haired feminists on twitter.
You would think what has happened with comic books over the last 7 years would wake some people up.
I'm glad Anime and Manga are doing well and I hope that Japan never bends the knee. I recently bought some Conan comic books and novels, as well as the complete Robert Howard collection. I know Netflix is doing a Conan show, but I am pretty sure he will be upstaged or he will learn everything from women.
But I will close with my question from above. What is wrong with having entertainment that appeals to boys/men? Or as Yellowflash put it "nothing wrong with having something that appeals to women/girls but why is it that something that generally appeals to men have to appeal to everybody"
Today I watched 2 things that really drove home to me the answer to your question. 1) I watched all 5 eps of Kevin Smith's MotU. I grew up with as a kid and really wanted to see how it went. Everything you heard about was correct. Even one producer saying he didn't want "Strong White Male" central character. 2) Watched the HBO documentary on Woodstock 99 where the Blue Hairs and some jogger from the NY Times blamed everything on Angry, White Males while this same jogger said Kid Rock stole rap from black people and made it more angry and misogynistic. Next they showed DMX singing My Niggas and the all white crowd signing along and called them racist for doing it.
So to answer your question they want us completely without any heroes as they see us as bad people
Ha! That is funny about Kid Rock. I love his music. Also find it interesting how rap gets a free pass. Even when it was being criticized by black ministers they still defended it. There is good rap but definitely any rap that has a good message will not get mainstream airplay. If DMX didn’t have a problem with it then the moron from NY Times shouldn’t.
The obsession with no straight white marks is absurd. And the diversity obsession is counterproductive. Now if they hype a black, Hispanic, female writer/director I’m already assuming it’s going to be woke garbage. I would imagine a black author who wants to tell a good story or a female programmer who wants to make a good video game would have a hard time. Same with a white male who doesn’t wring his hands about “his privilege”.
