Not to talk about the super diverse fat chicks whose first mission in the trailer is to take down... wait for it... some evil white male thugs. Usual woke shit, but that's the cherry on the fat-cake.
THEM BEING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU THINK OF AS HEROES IS KIND OF THE POINT.
Not really. I mean, if you want main characters that are the opposite of the "standard" hero, that has been done before. For example, the main character in Ironside is a guy in a wheelchair who uses his intelligence and knowledge of laws to achieve what he can't through his physical abilities. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061266/
This is not it. This is a couple of fat chicks that only get out of the coach to get to the fridge... playing the physical superhero. That's just ridiculous.

Super powers don't make miracles. One has super strength and the other one can turn invisible, sure, but both would be out of breath the moment they get 10 meters away from their coach.
I used to read superhero comics when I was a kid, I loved the mutants franchise, and I remember how they used to exercise regularly. Bad physical condition cripples you both physically and mentally, no matter what wonderful super powah you have.
Or Buffy, for example, which until season 5 was an example of female superhero well done. And guess what? you had Giles making her train on a regular basis, even though she had superpowers.
WHAT IS YOUR POINT?...BEING OVERWEIGHT CAN BE UNHEALTHY?..YES,OF COURSE...OR IS YOUR POINT THAT OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE SHOULDNT GET ROLES BECAUSE THEY ARE OVERWEIGHT?...OR DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOUR POINT IS?...I SAID ANYONE CAN HAVE SUPER POWERS IN FICTION,EVEN OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE.TO WHICH YOU RESPONDED WITH
"And until all this pandering, PC bullshit stops....Any media outlet that condones this glorification of obesity, will have blood on it's hands"
I say Hollywood should stop pandering to this whole 'body-confidence/fat praising bullshit.
You then, pull out the most idiotic example to try prove a point with (which only reinforces my stance)
Now (likely embarrassed) you've got the nerve to suggest that somehow *I* am the one without a point (fucking priceless)
Hollywood (and the media in general) are trying to push this whole 'fat-is-beautiful' doctrine onto (likewise, lazy) impressionable youth. It plasters people like the cast of this movie (or Lizzo) all over the screen and like most 'mental-disorders' nowadays (LGBT, BLM, etc) the seemingly indefensible is constantly defended, rather than offend those afflicted with the hard truth (look at the crazy 'hate-speech' laws)
The very same media want you to think being this size is healthy (which is plain bullshit) and making 'heroes' (fictional or otherwise) out of obese people is setting a dangerous benchmark. You need only look at the flack 'Adele' copped, when she dare lose weight. Rebel Wilson is another.
YOUR "POINT" IS STUPID...THEIR ARE ROLES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL SIZES WHICH MIRRORS REAL LIFE...YOU SEE A SHOW WITH TWO NON MODEL FEMALES AND START SCREAMING "body-confidence/fat praising bullshit."....NO...ITS JUST A SHOW...A SHOW FEATURING TWO WOMEN WHO HAPPEN TO BE LARGER THAN THIN.

Dyslexia. I can't remember which word spells 'coach' vs 'couch'. It happens something similar with 'east' and 'west', I know what they mean, but I can never remember which side is each one, I have to use a mnemotechnic rule for it.
I saw this... the idea of it was funny for a few seconds until you realize that this is more PC woke agenda-pushing by Hollywood to make obesity seem "cool".
It's pretty disgusting, especially given that the average American is already grossly overweight and the obesity epidemic isn't subsiding in any conceivable way.
It would be one thing if these were films about fat people where it basically goes "being fat is bad and getting in shape is good!" but it's usually the opposite, and I doubt that the end of the film will them meeting a Jenny Craig coach to lose some weight and turn hot. Instead I'm sure they'll waste five minutes moralizing how you should "be yourself" and never let "society judge" you for how you look, and they will unsuspectingly embrace their arch nemesis, Diabetes, who is inevitably waiting for them with pulmonary heart disease and blood clots.
are you really concerned about obesity levels of the population?
... or is it you just dont wanna see fat chicks and you'd rather be ogling sexy young girls?
sexy = healthy. That's how biology works. Of course we would rather watch sexy fit girls than whales on land ... whales are not even supposed to live on the land ...
Oh, and that's valid for men as well.
And what's worse: the ones that are getting more excited thinking about hot sexy bodies are the whales ...
Hey, you know how they say that old people are not obese?
Well, i guess the government wouldn't have to pay for their social and medical insurance if they don't get past retirement age ... and there would be enough money for us, the skinny (and ALIVE) ones.
