I saw the trailer and...it's not winning me over. Maybe it's the music? Maybe it's because the actors are kinda ugly? That poster didn't help either. I'm starting to wonder if the interest in getting this film created have anything to do with America's increasingly sensitive climate as of the past few years, Oscar so White and all that.


Anyways, I'm reminded of the Ghostbusters reboot and how the entire internet homed in on Angry Video Game nerd and his wife after he made a Youtube video.

Of course. And anyone who criticizes any aspect of the movie at all is a racist.

Lmao at all the threatened people in this topic.

"Oh no, a movie about a black superhero that appeals to blacks as well as mainstream audiences! Better shitpost about it"

Like I get that there's people that don't like superhero movies or the MCU. That's fine. But I'm sensing that a lot of people are doing the whole "read between the lines" thing about it.

lol this topic perfectly describes how drama like this starts. No one pro-black panther has said a thing. No one has been called out. No one has been attacked for not liking the trailer...but threatened people ITT have created this narrative where it's totally happening or totally going to happen...and if they keep pushing that narrative it is likely to happen. They're starting it and setting it up and if even one person does what they claim will happen they'll play innocent and say "see I was just minding my own business and they all attacked me!"

it wasnt the fact that people were criticizing the ghostbusters remake that got them labeled a sexist

it was because they were criticizing the remake before it even came out just because it had 4 female leads that got them labeled sexist

why is that so hard to people to wrap their heads around?

People who disliked the film specifically because it had women in it were likely sexists...or just tired of the obvious pandering. But also likely sexist.

People who had legitimate gripes over the film thanks to screenshots and trailers weren't sexist. People criticizing the Director's behaviour weren't sexist. And I very highly doubt James Rolfe was sexist.

How many people were slagging on Charlie's Angels back in the 70's and 90's?

the biggest thing i saw happen with WW were people like you crying about the Women only screening. Wonder Woman was critically acclaimed. not sure what point you're trying to make bringing that one up. not to mention the same shit happened with GB

"An all women cast? Ouch right in the child hood!"
Why not give it a try before you knock it?
"Nah man MUH CHILDHOOD IS RUINED"
*arguing commences, then the trailer finally comes out*
"Ha, see i was right"...

...No, all the people throwing a fit before the trailer even came out were just as bad as those who attacked AVGN for not liking it.

Steel is a bad superhero movie.
Blade is a good superhero movie.

If I like this movie, I like it.
If I don't, I don't.

I have nothing to prove one way or another.

I could see that being a real thing

"The characters were completely unrelatable, couldn't sympathize with them"

As you could a billionaire philanthropist playboy, a super soldier who was frozen in time, a norse god, and a man who turns into a raging green monster? Or maybe the teenager with superhuman powers that can shoot webs, the guy with deadeye accuracy, a girl who has cosmic powers, a guy with a shrinking suit, or maybe the person created from an otherworldly stone??

I genuinely thought the whole "I can't relate to the protagonist" thing was a big joke until well into my 20s.

Maybe it's because I so rarely saw myself reflected in said characters, but I had no idea that people had a habit of projecting themselves onto the protagonists. I think it's okay to identify with a character that really reflects you every now and then, but it's kinda sad and very selfish if you feel like you have to be the star of every show you watch.

it's more of a "well this guys not white so I can't relate" which is just as selfish.

I mean it's a movie... it's not going to be relatable to 99% of people it's just supposed to entertain you. How many people can relate to being a Jedi, or getting raped in prison then escaping?

Which is funny, because other races have no problem projecting themselves onto Batman or whatever...You won't hear a black guy say "I mean I really wanted to like the Dark Knight but...I just couldn't IDENTIFY with Batman"...

The Trailer, while short, looked really good too so i don't see why this topic would be made...the only 2 reasons would be a Troll attempt, or a preemptive cover for when he attacks the movie regardless of if he liked it or not.

I'm tired of superhero movies in general. Movies are too over the top and just keep releasing the same stuff. They don't have to do every superhero. I think it's more marketting I don't like and how mindless it is how these corporations try to target audiences.

So because I found some actors ugly, it can only be because of their race!
