John "Half-Woke" Carpenter

How can you fault John Carpenter for not being “woke” in 1978
When all society were all snuggled up comfy asleep and there was none of this stupid woke culture
So said these pansies have taken over what is the supposed correct thought of the modern world

If Loomis had just changed his tactics a bit and spent 15 years teaching Michael about his toxic masculinity, today we’d have an alive tow truck driver and three teens.

Please stop watching the news and social media. It's retarding your delopement as a human being.

All the political labels used by all sides are just ways to keep people separated. A person with leftwing politics, a person with centrist politics, and a person with right wing politics can like similar things and disagree on politics. By using political labels, we put politics and division above the things that we all enjoy. Every person, including yourself, comments on this site because we like movies. Not the same movies but film in general.

If Loomis would’ve given Laurie shooting lessons, today’s crowd would’ve accused him of mansplaining.

I know OP is being facetious, but I do think in picking some of the most iconic slasher movies you can see the evolution of how the final girl is portrayed in horror movies over the span of a decade.

Spoiler for a variety of movies follow.

Let's start with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 1974. Sally Hardesty survives to the end, but basically just by running away. She does jump through a window twice and braves the pain, so she is brave in her own way. But most of the movie she is running and screaming, until she finds a truck passing her who can carry her to safety.

Fast forward to Halloween in 1978 Laurie Stroud is shown to be brave, and is constantly puts the children's safety first. And does do some fighting back, but in the end it's Loomis who turns up and shoots Michael Myers in order to save him.

In Friday The 13th in 1980 the final girl is Alice, who fights back over the murderer and ends up killing them by herself. But notice here that the villain is female. Not yet Jason Vorhees.

By A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984 We say Nancy as a final girl who is forced into facing Krueger alone, and show's her bad-assery by defeating him through brains and courage.

I know that these are not the only slasher movie from that time. And I'm also not holding up A Nightmare On Elm Street as the first to portray women like this. I've just chosen them as some of the most famous/iconic of the slasher movies. And also because they were made of the course of a decade or so. Looking at these iconic movies, it's interesting to see how the change in how the final girls were presented.

woman or minority actor: exists

incels on the internet: THIS MOVIE IS WOOOOOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why does everything get defined today as "woke" or "non-woke". That's like saying that there are two types of people in the world, those who believe in flying saucers and those who don't. I believe it is just the sheep of society following along because it is the "in" thing to do. In my 70 years on the Earth, I have seen this kind of thing come and go. There were some positive changes made, for sure, but most of the "new" ideas fell by the wayside
I am of the opinion that the use of the term, like all fads, will fade in time.

If Myers and Loomis started having sex at the end the movie THAT would have been woke. It would have been very brave film making.
