If the diverse characters have flaws, then you don't have woke media on your hands, you just have normal stories.
It would be easier to pull off if they start with animated films. You already have the 3d data, just throw a camera in the middle and attach it to a VR headset!
In fairness, the popcorn is a real event.
Make it at home! 1 tbsp of Coconut oil + 1/4 tsp flavacol + 1/3 cup of popping corn.
There's also nothing interesting to watch, wokeism aside.
Used to be, at any given time, there were a small handful of movies I was interested in seeing.
These days, I scroll through Amazon's new release section and not a single one piques my interest.
Movies from the 90s that have a gimmick or fascinating hook are all but replaced with shitty rom-coms and throw-away horror flicks (oh no the door closes by itself, and look, there's a ghost! How novel!)
The only movies that still got my attention recently were the Marvel Avenger movies. And now that seems pretty well over since they're retiring the A-team.
I got HBO to try out the Snyder cut of Justice League and I can't get fuckin 10 minutes in I'm so bored by the idea. The mishandling of the DC properties were so bad I just can't even bring myself to watch anything related. That goes for the Birds movies and all.
What's left to fucking watch? I don't know. Where did good movies go? I really don't know.
This trend started well before covid, too. Friday nights used to be the night the family would sit down and pick a new release to rent. Now, it's so sparse and padded with low-budget and indie flicks, I just don't bother looking for new releases anymore.
We just watch reruns of impractical jokers now. Only thing worth a damn and it's (thank god) not woke.
My Body is ready.
They're going to have to up their game though. I watched Tron 3d bluray in a VR game called "bigscreen" which simulates a movie theater. It's "3d" but since you're already in a 3d environment it's actually quite underwhelming.
Now if they could make movies where you feel like you're INSIDE the movie with VR. I would fucking pay money for that.
Man-hours is wrong because of MAN. Therefore: Personhours.
Per-SON is wrong because of SON. Therefore: Perchildhours.
Left favors child labor. Checkmate atheists
Or simply put, make them tags.
Kinda like shopping online where you can check off what features you want. But in this one, you can filter what features you don't want.
I'm in the mood for an Action flick with no underage sex and no feminism.
Of course, the real problem is, would any film made in the past 20 years come up with that criteria? LOL
Seriously? Who is like "well I tried it but it's not for me."
It's one of like 3 primary positions that all other sex positions are based on.
Unless you have no sex life at all, doggy is a third of all sex.
Why not have a list of woke tropes and then allow each movie to be flagged for certain tropes.
For instance:
- Major Character sexual orientation featured but not germane to plot + 1 point
- Women overpower men unrealistically + 2 points
- Underage sexualization + 3 points
- Feminist punchlines that don't land + 5 points
Etc.
They can't all be this blind to what's happening.
