In the years past, woke elements in movie trailers and whatnot would just make me feel rage. They still do, but there is a silver lining of shadenfreude of knowing that for the next year to two years, the stuff they wrote, they were making with the thought that Kamala was going to be president.

LIke there's this movie trailer about 2 months ago that Anthony Cumia made fun of, of this black woman president who's an action hero. It's like Air Force One/Die Hard type premise, except the hero is a black woman who is also the president.

You KNOW it was greenlit and written with the thought that when this movie releases we will actually have an Indian err I mean black woman president. So to see the entire reason for this movie existing having the rug pulled out from it is very satisfying. It doesn't even get to serve it's proper purpose of being a demoralizing humiliation ritual.

If anyone sees the trailer while Trump is now president, they laugh and go "man can you imagine....what a bullet we dodged".

Whereas that trailer would have a much different weight of frustration given if Kamala was successfully installed.

So I get a bit of delight seeing the woke trailers (another one being this movie called "one battle after another" by Paul Thomas Anderson...look it up it's woke) because I can envision the writers and directors angry at how "this wasn't supposed to be the world my demoralizing 'vision' got released into!"

I wonder if in 3 years we'll start seeing if movies have a different tone, ones that started their production cycle after Trump already got elected.
