Good to hear, maybe the trailers don't do the movie justice.

Do you have a link or the numbers? Curious to see if this movie will be able to break any records.

According to this random broad who writes for The Mary Sue website(Which is a super SJW Feminist Site) Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel aren't for men or women just for little kids to look up too

To all the men who complain about Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, it isn't for you. Hell, as much as I love them and cry, they aren't for me either. They're for the little girls and boys who get to look up and see these heroes and know they can do it too.

Shouldn't art try to appeal to as large an audience as possible?

It's ridiculous to write off these movies as "just for kids" when they're PG-13 and have been appealing to the mainstream audience for years now. It's as stupid as saying video games are just for kids. She's just hiding behind children to protect her agenda by trying to invalidate criticism with her nonsense.

Seems... Strangely contradictory to dismiss concerns about the potential quality of the movie or questionable statements coming from the star, with the excuse that children are the target audience and as long as they (who haven't seen the movie yet either) like it then it's fine. Which of course brings up the question, what if children don't end up liking it? Then what? Who is the movie for if the alleged target audience responds negatively?

That and does anyone seriously consider Wonder Woman a children's movie or thinks Captain Marvel will be a children's movie? Both movies are rated PG-13 in the US, an age rating movies officially get because:
"Parents are urged to be cautious. Some material may be inappropriate for pre-teenagers." or "Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13"
And it's not even like Hollywood movies are made according to the director's vision and given whatever rating it happens to be in line with. Studios spefically aim for whatever rating they think will earn them the best income, they'll even go out of their way to reshoot and edit movies to fit the requirements. These movies, at least officially, meant for people above the age of 13. Not small children.

And maybe the made up half-alien space hero or the also made up literal goddess might seem like something a small child would look up to in a naive sort of sense, but 13 year olds? At that age you'd probably try to find more realistic role models and just think of fiction as entertainment, but more than that your number 1 priority is to masturbate as much as possible.

Thank you for the laugh, neatoman, you’re definitely not wrong

I'm not white. What has been said here isn't wrong either. Doesn't matter who said it.

You realize all of us are not white or guys right????

I do agree this place is a trip. This place has quite frankly become a political arena.

*Andrew NDB* · 03-01-2019, 07:40 PM

Representation is fine... it's this notion that representation in film > quality that is pretty problematic. If you have a vision and your vision is for four friends going on an adventure, you shouldn't be bullied into making one of them black, one of them Chinese, and one of them a trans man... or conversely, you shouldn't get "bonus points" for doing that on your own (unless their racial/identities somehow fuel the plot). It seems like right now a lot of bonus points are being awarded to run of the mill movies that wouldn't be given a second thought if they weren't built up as "important" movies. That's not right.

And I'm not white either.

Only if you have mental capacity of a brick.

And no, specifically saying: "this is what its like to be Black, woman, e.t.c." in a work, which has nothing to do with them is not a good idea, since it will be tacky and out of place and sometimes even offensive.

Last year there was a game called Kingdom Come: Deliverance. A rather good (or so I've heard) RPG about medieval Czech, developed by team from Czech itself, which attempted to stick as close to the history as possible in a video game.

Well, some "progressives" naturally were pissed off that in there were no "people of color" in the middle of a central Europe in Medieval times. "Progressive" game journalists attempted to make this story big, but since they have writing abilities of college drop-outs, which most likely they are, it had never picked up and the game was an enormous success.

Not really, if that's a specific fantasy world based on the tales of specific region.
But I take it, you probably would be OK if a movie about Indian mythos included black people and Asians, since otherwise it is lazy and unimaginative.

I can understand criticism of the men who dislike movie on the basis that it is about female superhero, but what else is there to criticize? You've wanted movie about female superhero - there you go!!
I swear, some SJWs just unpleasable bunch, if you give the movie that 100% aligned to their ideology, they still would rise a stink about something.
