'Superwoke' Superman smashes box-office records, despite conservative complaints
The film is just the third this year to earn more than $100 million in its opening weekend.www.yahoo.com
People in this thread thought so, as did people in the link I posted.
Of course homosexuals are real. Is it the job of the Disney studios to introduce impressionable children to the world of homosexuals or transgender people?
Hardly, I can name you several (or more) positions where I support the Democrats and oppose the Republican view. Let me know if you'd like a list.
Thank you for proving my point.
Swift-- not. Show where the character addresses what you were talking about when I challenged your falsehoods.
There's nothing in that excerpt about tolerating illegals. You're Just pushing more Mad Lib gaslighting with your specialized definition of "kindness."
Nope, what I showed is that Gunn bracketed the two ideas-- America was founded by immigrants, and America once possessed the virtue of kindness-- as if there was a necessary connection between the two. Just the basic correlation by itself breaks down as soon as anyone asks, "What about how kind those immigrants were to Native Americans?" That's a frequent Mad Lib talking point, and the reason I believe Gunn chose to play down the usual "evil colonists" narrative was that he wanted to suggest that in contemporary times we ought to be "kind" to all immigrants, even illegal ones, because that too is a well documented talking point of the Left. Gunn's experiences with Leftie cancellation probably made him too smart to go Full Metal Mad Lib while advertising his movie, but he followed up his confused remarks by acting like the Right has somehow come out against kindness, just like the OP here.

As I said in my previous post, Gunn made money by soft pedaling Leftie issues. LEGACY stresses environment over inheritance, but that's not fundamentally an immigration issue as presented in the film.Gunn can listen to your complaints, or he can listen to the money.

Indeed it is Game. Set. Match point. You are engaging in projection and assumption — stuff you should have learned to avoid in Kindergarten and in high school English class. More over, it confirms my original thesis: being kind and inclusive is not a bipartisan mindset.Nope, what I showed is that Gunn bracketed the two ideas-- America was founded by immigrants, and America once possessed the virtue of kindness-- as if there was a necessary connection between the two.

‘Superman’ director faces backlash for calling the Man of Steel an ‘immigrant’: ‘Superwoke’
“‘Superman’ is the story of America… An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country,” James Gunn stated.
I give him credit for doing a much better job than anyone on this thread of muddying the issues. He managed to throw in little bits of Leftie sentiment but wasn't as in-your-face as a lot of MCU crap, so he's reaped (so far) a pretty decent box office.
You're just bloviating to cover for the fact that you failed to analyze the shortcomings in Gunn's conflation.
IT flopped due to a non white Snow White? How do you explain Wicked’s success then?

I for one don't think SNOW WHITE flopped because of dumb-ass race-swapping, but because of dumb-ass ultra-feminism. It was obvious to many moviegoers that Disney rewrote the publicly accepted version of the folktale in order to subject audiences to feminism lectures. So no one went to see if, any more than scads of female viewers wanted to look at that "female-led" train wreck THE MARVELS. It is an interesting question as to how WICKED may have succeeded with conservative audiences. Lacking any hard data, I would guess that WICKED concealed its wokeness well enough that a lot of people just said, "oh, it's just an alternate telling of WIZARD OF OZ from the witch's POV." And of course a lot of people on both sides of the fence can be-- though not always-- lured into the theater by something that has established street-cred--which WICKED had and Disney's "woke SNOW" did not have.

The character who now bears the name was a support-character from the late sixties, Carol Danvers. Marvel changed her into "Ms Marvel" as an adjunct to their male Captain Marvel, but they both flopped and were cancelled. A couple of other characters used the name for a while so that the company could hold on to the trademark, and then there was a push that made the Danvers character the new Captain Marvel. Despite all attempts to push her as the new face of Marvel Feminism, the character has not sold well in that form either. I have not read those stories so I can't say how much the failure stems from bad writing, but that would be my guess as to why a character who's now had two feature movies can't make a buck in the comics biz.
Perhaps in the eyes of a global audience, it is more important for the audience to see a white Snow White than a black Wicked Witch.
Cute but insubstantial.This is the Superman that right-wingers like. The good 'ol days.
The 20 Greatest Examples of Superman Being a Jerk
"Superman is a d*ck" is a concept originally conceived by the fine folks at Superdickery.com. In one of the earliest great things on the Internet, they compiled over 300 examples of Superman being selfish, needlessly cruel, and an all-around jerk in old comics from the '40s, '50s, and...
Disagree, for the reasons stated. Also, though one can cIaim that "Being Green" is the same as "Being Black," which may be the message of the book that I've not read, WICKED could've succeeded with a White actress in Greenface.
So then how do you explain wicked's success since you're using made up anecdotal bullshit?
So a movie being woke no longer counts because reasons?
