I don't really have a problem with this, as opposed to say, redefining Cleopatra or Anne Boleyn as black women

Not Hollywood, but...

 

Just got back from seeing my niece in a teenage Shakespeare workshop show of Romeo and Juliet...

 

Did you know that Romeo was a chick, of the LGBTQIA+ Montagues?  And the Capulets were conservative MAGA Trump supporters who refused to let their daughter Juliet enter into a lesbian relationship with Romeo?

If it weren’t for the cartoon flame at the top I’d still be wondering if this was real.

I'm not clever about inserting material, so maybe there is a better way to do this. I write on substack and found this article posted in my notes. It is not surprising, but nonetheless offers sunlight on the fascistic practices of Hollywood defenders of democracy.

Sister: "That's not true, you're reading too much in to it."

 

Me: The Capulets were wearing Trump t-shirts, and the Montagues were wearing pride flags.

I like Downey Jr., I'll watch just about anything he's in.

 

But not this.  You're not even resurrecting the character, you're bringing the actor in to play a different character, playing on the actor's popularity?  It's such a complete dearth of anything resembling creativity...

 

There's really only one way to describe it.  Kamala?

Yes, but seriously. Its a masked character? You have nobody else?

I will bet a large sum of money that it's a bizarro multiverse thing where Tony Stark becomes Dr. Doom instead of Iron Man.

Apparently, there is a storyline where Stark becomes Doom (or Doom becomes Stark?)...

Does not change the fact that "writing for the multiverse" is only about 2 IQ points above "updating for modern audiences."

"Reimagined for narcissistic, retarded audiences."

 

You know what REALLY bugs me about this shit.  You have to steal, mangle, and destroy other people's stories to promote your vision, because you are so thoroughly lacking in creativity that you can't write a unique one.  

 

Same thing with "We need to cast a black female James Bond!"  No, you don't need to recast a post-colonial British symbol.  YOU NEED TO WRITE A NEW STORY!

And they made Alfred fat too! Bastards!

I started watching it and yeah, all that crap takes away from it, but...it's beautifully done. Really has the feel of the old Batman:Animated series.  The voice actor for Batman/Bruce Wayne sounds very much like Kevin Conroy, likely by design. I want to hate it more than I do for the woke crap but it's not all that bad. I feel shame.

Deadpool Wolverine was DUMB.  BUT it was fun and it was very entertaining.  3 of us walked out after it was done and that was all our takes.  Hoping the new Venom movie coming out in October follows that fun and entertaining focus.
