This persistent belief that people should come out of the womb being 100% Woke And Morally Pure and that there is no possible way to recover from making a mistake or worse Doing A Sin- even if you make a genuine apology, never repeat the behaviour, work to prevent others from repeating the behaviour, and actively make amends for the behaviour- is so painfully protestant in origins that it makes me gag.
Peter Dutton made the bullshit implication that if we bring a refugee from Manus/Nauru onto Australia that takes away the position from someone “who really needs it” going through the humanitarian program which is nonsense because the entire idea that genuine refugees must suffer in indefinite limbo on Manus/Nauru is a complete construction of the government that they maintain for the sake of appearing strong to racists. Plus he wanted to fast track white farmers from South Africa so either his portfolio has the power to create more space for refugee intake or he wanted to take away refugee spots from those in need for the sake of white people. It’s not a “them vs other refugees” situation it’s compassion vs the government’s zero tolerance policy and racism and I know which one I stand with.
can you believe after so many years of using french’s “c’est la vie” because the nuance doesn’t translate, we’ve finally obtained a flawless translation with “that’s just the way it is on this bitch of an earth"
I wouldn’t accept this shit from a movie in 2008 nvm 2018.
this is embarrasing
What movie is this
this from the trailer for Fantastic Beast 2: Crimes of Grindelwald
what the fuck these look like they’re from a fucking ps2 game
trust me it’s worse when you see the actual trailer
Oh no fire the whole studio
gotta throw the entire franchise away
Guys I’m in this movie and I’m telling you do not see it.
It’s badly written, poorly acted – everyone on set was up Johnny Depp’s ass. It’s not a good film, I had to sit through 3 weeks of trying to make a terrible scene good enough for them to want to put it in the movie.
They also cheated us (the extras) out of money that we were supposed to be paid for doing extra stuff (green screen work, having our images captured for their cgi, etc.) I’ll admit I was paid well but I wasn’t paid everything, because they named the other work something else to get away with not having to pay us for doing more than the base requirement of showing up and doing what the director said.
Do not give your money to this film.
well shit then
(and there weren’t/aren’t enough actors of color in this franchise anyway)
People really making posts about Thor hating Tony when we all know Thor is literally incapable of disliking anyone smh
is he really a lesbian ally if he doesn’t hate tony stark, known misogynist
Y’all really still calling the only male character in a committed and healthy relationship a misogynist because he was a slut for the first 20 minutes of iron man 1 okay okay
tony stark literally:
made a woman the ceo of his fortune 500 company
turned to helen cho, an asian woman doctor, for help on medical and scientific advances that he didn’t understand, and explicitly said her ideas to leave his iron man suits in the dust is the plan for the future
like @one-piece-of-harry said, has been in a committed relationship with the same woman since 2010 and is about to marry her
when natasha asked for his impression, instead of physically objectifying her, analyzed her personality and said she had a quiet reserve and an old soul, didn’t say anything about her looks
called maya hansen one of the most gifted women he’s ever met after she told him about her research. when the “glitch” happened with the plant and caused the explosion, he never said anything condescending, just made suggestions on how to improve instead (before happy tackled him to the bed)
but i mean, he slept with dozens of women in his past just like any other guy playing the field so of course he’s a misogynist. totally.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m really excited Lando is back, I love him more than almost any other character in the series, but I am REAL unhappy we had to wait until every single other original trilogy hero couldn’t reprise their role in one way or another for him to be allowed to return. Lando should’ve been in Episode VII, and that’s just the tea
Kathleen Kennedy doesn’t like black characters.
And since we’ve only had one main black character per Disney Star Wars movie since TFA, that’s the tea
Kathleen Kennedy brought back Nien Nunb, a man so inconsequential no one even knew his name, before she brought back the man that destroyed the second death star because she hates PoC so much
While I love all the actresses in Star Wars and I have nothing against them things need to be said.
This is insanity and bad casting. I’ll give Keri Russell a pass because for all we know she’ll be playing a glorified cameo like Simon Pegg and I’m 76% sure JJ meant for Rey to be a Skywalker, but what about the others?
Why would you cast Felicity Jones in a prequel movie when she looks almost exactly like Daisy Ridley?
Why is Emilia Clarke, even though I thinks she’s a wonderful woman, even in the Han Solo prequel? We came to see a movie about how Han got the falcon, met Chewie and Lando, not see another random white brunette that looks like Daisy Ridley.
Now let’s look at the iconic female characters of color
Thandie Newton as Val in Solo? Killed with no character development.
Veronica Ngo as Paige Tico in TLJ? Killed with no character development.
Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico? Rian Johnson literally created her because there would have been no conflict with Finn and Poe. Rose was literally written for conflict instead of a character her own. Behind the scenes Kelly Marie Tran was not defended by Lucasfilms when reports flooded everywhere that she was a victim of racial harassment and and she still has not been confirmed for ep 9 by Lucasfilms.
Well let’s talk about the other woman.
Captain Phasma played by Gwendolyn Christie was marketed, advertised, in countless interviews, and is the highest selling merchandise of all Star Wars characters, but her character is barley given 5 mins of screen time and supposedly killed off.
Laura Dern as Holdo was written as an antagonist for Poe, a POC for no given reason but for the sake of conflict. She is then killed off from the movie and the franchise loses another acclaimed actress.
Carrie Fisher as Leia is given no screen time or character arc in TLJ. She has one scene where she flies through space then she is thrown in a coma till she is shoved out of it to be used in one scene, a scene which admittedly only good because of the nostalgia and acting chops of Mark and Carrie, and then she is shoved back into the role of an onlooker, a passive witness who doesn’t even get to assist her twin brother or say a word to her son.
Bonus
These 3 were kept out of the Lucasfilms approved Comic Con poster because the artist and Lucasfilms by extension thinks that they’re supporting characters with no relation to the Skywalkers, a family that Lucasfilms butchered, or the overall story.
Even though Poe and his family have been connect to the Solos and Skywalkers since the Return of the Jedi. Meanwhile Finn is the literal lead of TFA who is connected, knows, and meets everyone in the movie.
In Summary:
Kathleen Kennedy is a racist, ageist, sexist and I’m happy she’s getting fired. We don’t need anymore white knight liars in the film industry. There is enough.
When I hear the avengers theme music my brain’s like “yeah cool heroic okay” but when I hear the Wonder Woman theme music every cell in my body starts vibrating, I become convinced I’ve been imbued with Amazonian strength and it takes an inordinate amount of willpower to stop myself from punching a hole in the wall out of sheer pumped-ness.
