MAKE SOMETHING NEW FFS!


I am all in favor of good roles for BIPOC/LBGTQ+ actors, but how F’ing LAZY and performative is it to just “reboot” the 100th movie/series/whatever apparently for the SOLE purpose of race or gender swapping the lead roles??? It actually demonstrates that you DON’T CARE enough to put in the effort to create a new vehicle with diverse roles. It’s supposed to be creative industry! F’ing CREATE something!!!! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

How about not having any fucking more of this DEI ticking boxes shite anymore at all, because quite simply the overall massive majority of people are fucking sick of it.

You'd think someone with some sense of self-worth would decline such things.

I though Donald Glover was better than a re-hash. Guess not.

LMAO...THE "ORIGINAL"...WAS ALSO A "REMAKE" OF SORTS...THIS NEW REMAKE CAST A WOMAN AND A MAN....SEEING THEM AS COLORS OR ANYTHING BESIDES HUMAN IS YOUR DEFECT.

Remake of a bad TV show. Don't think that really counts. With very few exceptions, I dis-like and find pretty much all re-makes lazy at best. But for many recent ones, there appears to be even less reason to do it other than to race or gender swap. Spend the time and money to develop an *original* project with a diverse cast. Anything less is, I'm sorry, performative. As has been mentioned earlier, there are a LOT of great scripts languishing out there.

MINUS YOUR DIVERSITY HANGUP...THE REST OF YOUR COMMENT IS SAME AS IT EVER WAS...EVERYTHING IS IN SOME WAY A RIFF OR PLAY OR HOMAGE OR STRAIGHT UP REMAKE OF SOMETHING ELSE...SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

aaaand on "ignore." I have no diversity hangup; rather the opposite. I want new/better roles for diverse casts, not lazy re-hashing.

reply

SO ASK FOR BETTER ENTERTAINMENT I GUESS....BUT YOU KEEP BRINGING UP DIVERSITY...WHICH HAS ZERO TO DO WITH YOUR ISSUE.


DO YOU ALWAYS IGNORE ANYONE WHO HAS DIFFERENT THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS THAN YOUR OWN?...YOU REALIZE YOU ARE CREATING AN ECHO CHAMBER THAT WILL OFFER YOU NOTHING BUT YOUR OWN THOUGHTS FED BACK AT YOU?

reply

YOU ISSUE IS REMAKES AND FRANCHISE THINKING....EVERY OTHER WORD YOU SAID ABOUT PEOPLE DIFFERENT THAN YOU....HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR ISSUE...UNLESS YOU HAVE TWO ISSUES.
