Apparently the Red Sonja actress crapped on the source material and said it would be very female empowered and then said something about the “male gaze”.
I love 70s through 90s Conan comics and would sometimes buy Red Sonja along with them. Also there are some great books as well as the original Robert E Howard Conan (which I read a few months ago). Goes without saying that the audience for Red Sonja is male and in the lore (not sure if they have changed it or not) she said she would share her bed with the man who can beat her in a fight. So I’d personally end the movie where she meets the man who defeats her.
Honestly a Conan or Red Sonja series with violence and sexy women would do great. Which is why they would rather give us butchered Wheel of Time or Rings of Power
Meanwhile John Cena has to walk onto stage naked at the awards show as the camera pans to all the harpies in the audience clapping like seals. Almost like feminazis love double standards just like any other Marxist-flavored mind virus.
Its never about equality. It's about taking something away from the target group.
Yep. Or I heard plenty of women who said they watched Superman or Aquaman because they thought Cavill or Mamoa were hot. Which is fine so don’t get mad at me if I check out a show or movie because I see a hot female lead
Stunning and brave!
You monster!
Ha! I’m ashamed to admit it but when I was 19 I bought Fiona Apple’s music because I thought she was hot
Now she looks like a relapsed crack addict. Which, I guess she is
Britney Spears for me. Had one of her thot posters on my wall and everything
Say what you want about Britney Spears, but she was very posterable.
Absolutely. Britney in her "hit me baby one more time" phase was top-tier. Christina Aguilera was up there during her Genie In a bottle days, but she went full "fat bitchy Latina" the last decade or two
Crazy bald made her hotter
She was SO drugged out.
u wot?
Aquaman. Sorry bout that
I have no hopes in modern times. Would be nice to understand from this harpies why the male gaze is so wrong? Why is finding beauty in a woman evil?
I honestly think it’s jealousy. I’m an average looking guy at best. I’ve never whined because some guys are very successful with women. I have no hope either so that’s why I tend to watch stuff before 2014. Those free streaming platforms like Tubi or Pluto have a ton of older content as well as British, Australian, NZ shows from 80s and 90s that I’ve never seen
You made me very curious. I don't think I can name an Australian or NZ show. Thank you for the idea
Anytime. I’ve always loved British stuff but never thought to look for stuff from Australia and NZ. There is a murder mystery show from NZ called Brokenwood Mysteries. Overall a good show but you can tell when different writers come in.
If anything, it inspires me to get up and at least attempt to improve myself. Even if I never get jacked, I can be better
Women only want to be leered at by high status males. Nerds they'd rather fuck off and die.
It's about power. They know men have power and believe that a man looking at a woman is subjecting her to his power. It's no different than the blacks who see racism in everything except for the things they like.
I see the silver lining here. Any company that sinks resources into things like this will inevitably go bankrupt. The ones that don't will survive and thrive.
It is nice that Hollywood and the AAA gaming industry have gone full mask off, since the normies are forced to finally pay attention and vote with their wallets like the rest of us.
Lots of frogs are jumping out of the pot, and the coming collapse of all of these institutions is going to be beautiful.
I hope you are right but GGv1 kind of fizzled to be honest.
Gawker, Buzzfeed News, and VICE have all declared bankruptcy. Media corruption and wokeness itself are household topics, as is the idea that a worldwide cabal of elites is behind this.
Gamergate 1 won harder than we ever imagined.
Not to mention that previously untouchable companies like Disney and Warner are completely on fire for the same reasons. And Trump was elected President, and will be again. The culture war has gone mainstream. That's a whole lot of sunlight.
Except all media turned hard left and stayed there. We live in clown world, what exactly did we accomplish? At most we've weakened the leftists for this round.
This is only because it turns out that a powerful cabal is funding and pushing them -- a fact that we were instrumental in exposing, and that is now on even normie lips.
The fact all these sites are failing at once is a sign.
When the gov't effectively funds everything, you can absorb any losses... until suddenly you can't.
This should send warning sirens across all markets, but so far people are acting like it's an isolated fluke.
Good point
The funny thing about this is all these losses get absorbed by the ponzi scheme that is the American stock market so nothing fails until everything collapses all at once.
Going to be interesting days ahead.
Investors are driven by self interest. A company may care more about pushing the message than about making a profit, but their investors don't. The only message they care about is "fuck you, pay me". Blackrock and Vanguard may be able to absorb their losses for a while, but they are beholden to their investors too in the long run.
If you don't believe me, just take a look at what Disney's stock has done for the last two years.
In Current Year, I'd be more shocked if the cast of a Red Sonja project didn't crap all over the fans, audience, and source material.
I enjoy that the "male gaze" is as shallow as "men might be attracted to this woman and that's bad" and is part of the reason why the Sweet Baby Inc rocket took off since every game touched by them had fucking Rocky Dennis looking bitches trying to seduce the main character.
If anything describes the push back against and hatred towards western women, its the hubristic assumption that we are superior to our ancestors and brethren. A lot of the implicit value of women is that they can be fucked and make babies, a value that is literally imprinted into our genetic wiring. Certain species will fuck a female knowing that their heads will be cut off and eaten by that female; it is something we all share. It's why we revile and need to be browbeaten into accepting gays, for instance.
If women lost the ability to fuck and reproduce on the whole then there would be no use keeping them around. They build their entire Machiavellian nature around the ability to seduce a man just by suggesting that sex is a thing that you can do to her. If that power was to diminish, they would have nothing.
I laughed out loud at the Rocky Dennis line. I loved the movie and even he met that pretty blind girl. Great points all around
Reminds me of how you can identify when the Californian ''sensitivity / diversity readears'' Intersectional branch had their way, because they insist every remotely intimate scene is re-written with ''affirmative, ongoing consent'' and it's exactly as cringe and fake as you can imagine.
Some Canadian SJWs have been pushing for this too for at least a decade.
If this wasn't so sad it would be funny. There's no amount of suspension of belief that can make me think she could "female empower" herself out of a wet paper bag let alone swing a real broadsword.
So... Bridgette Nielsen? Or is there a new woke Red Sonja reboot for me to not pay attention to?
New one not to pay attention to
So is the Red Sonja 2.0 black, gay, and lame?
I'm so done with it all and I don't know why anyone gets their hopes up these days. It's also why I've practically boycotted anything live action because what I've decided to describe as the 'millennial self-insert' problem. Let's face it, pretty much all of the actors that were any decent and in shape have gotten old now. Which is why they desperately trot them out for the next shitty reboot movie.
No one wants these millennial actors in any capacity. Even just based on looks they do nothing even getting vaguely into shape for the types of roles that they're picked for. They just put on a coloured wig pretend they're a jedi and it makes me cringe. The fat asian is an example of this and so is the spindly cat lady. They almost all look pretty spindly even when they're not going to be overweight as fuck.
Mark my words, they're going to get desperate soon, they'll be rolling in a bunch of fatties as actors for roles that they do not fit for at all and it's going to be extremely jarring for normies. They simply don't have the replacements they need to make anything vaguely interesting. The white male actors of old especially that women would gush over are completely done because Hollywood isn't going to scout anybody fit enough so that's completely out of the window.
It might seem odd that I've dedicated a massive rant about this but this is one of the major things that completely suspended my belief about life action mediums lately. I mean can you imagine some fucking millennial NPC actor trying to play a deep voiced villain? It's going to be ludicrous. I wouldn't pretend I would be good at that either, I'd have to do a different role. Women aren't allowed to be attractive in any capacity either and Hollywood has the exact same problem that the games industry has as well where they keep beating women with the ugly stick so that shit is all out of the window for marketing too.
Agreed. I think I’ll just buy some old Conan and Red Sonja comics next time I go to the comic book store
Yeah, because women can't leave well enough alone, everything must be about them and their pet projects.
Instead of doing things because of the male gaze, they do things for the male gays.
Like.. the actress for Faye for live action cowboy bebop lol.
It will not surprise you to learn that they changed it.
What is it now?
Now she just sleeps around like a slut.
They know the audience, they just hate it.
Good point. Out of spite I still want to see someone make a 50 shades type movie only the male lead is a middle aged balding fat guy. Then lecture women about beauty standards
