Take a look at the more notable diverse roles of the last decade:
- Rey
- Captain Marvel
- Ariel
- Falcon "Captain America"
- Black Panther
- Female androgynous terminator
- Girlboss Galadriel
- Tranny in the new pre-canceled Star Wars show
- Korra
- Zendaya Mary Jane
- Jyn Erso
- Indian Velma
- Natalie Portman w/hammer
- Corlys Velaryon etc
- pregnant zombie apocalypse survivors
- practical outfits Lara Croft
- female Black Panther
- golf club tranny
- Mandalorian Mary Sue
- black April O'Neill
- da Woman King
- Finn
- Phoebe Waller-Bridges
- several black female 00 agents
- pregnant blue aliens
- feminist Barbie
Only ONE of these is fat (pregnant women aren't actually fat) and she's in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cash grab that won't even get the hate publicity of Velma. Despite making up 70% of the American population, not a single fat person, man or woman, has headlined a summer blockbuster or even been on the movie poster. There has never been a fat Avenger. Fat Oppenheimer has been airbrushed from history. Fat people have never been cut in half with lightsabers. The combined mass of Tom Holland and Zendaya does not equal even one fat person. The erasure of fat people is very real, unlike the erasure of their fat.
Meanwhile Hollywood is content to laugh at fat people like Kevin James, Melissa McCarthy, and Jack Black. They are truly jokes. It's time for the delegitimization, victimization, and discrimination against fat people to end. A fat posh British brunette must star in the next pre-canceled Star Wars trilogy. The next Jurassic Park must feature a fat T-Rex. Actors like Colin Farrell should stop practicing fatface. A fat woman should be allowed to compete for Miss Netherlands. Swimming records (not displacement) must be broken by fat people. All a good start, but there is much more to be done.
Honestly, it's a good setup for a movie (if done well, obviously).
Hero who's in shape, etc, fucks up and gets millions killed, gets ptsd, and has to cope with it.
Basically a more serious and obvious version of Tony starks arc in the movies.
Yeah, which is shit. But in a different world with competent writers and the desire to produce movies that address issues in a well thought out manner, it could have been done.
No, we are not installing cranes everywhere to get past stairs..
Great, now I want to ride a glass elevator being moved by a specialized crane.
What else are we going to do with building cranes now that everyone is moving to the suburbs and has no use for the city?
"We have nothing to lose but our chins!"
~Actual fat liberation, through caloric deficit.
Fat people must be liberated from the fast food places that oppress them by making them heavier. You have nothing to lose but the chain that weighs you down, but can't actually be broken.
At this point, fat people are a higher percentage of the population than black people; soon they'll surpass women.
Where's the representation?
Don't encourage them.
Movie poster alone would be worth it
Does The Whale count? Lol
That's fatface
