Nobody has a problem with a woman being the hero of a story. Why can't Disney just make original movies about original women characters who are heroes? At this point, shitting all over existing male heroes just looks like snark. And snark is nothing but an unintelligent person's idea of clever.
shareHave you seen the movie yet?
shareYou expect him to pay to see a dogshit movie, just to confirm that it's dogshit?
shareHow would he know it's dogshit?
shareCos all the other shit to come out from Disney in recent years has been, without fail, DOGSHIT too!
Eh. Mixed bag.
shareALL dogshit! F-ck Disney!
Nah. Rogue One and Andor are top-notch.
shareRogue One was a mess. Some good parts, some bad. The CGI space battle at the end and the shoe horned in Darth Vader scene highlights. Hats off to the CGI team for the CGI space battle, and whoever came up with the Darth Vader ending for the reshoots.
The rest wasn't good.
Quite the imagination you have for something you have not seen. The hero is in the title, bub!
shareDo some reading about the movie. There are articles everywhere. It's really not that difficult to think before posting!
shareI have been following closely as I love this series. I have heard about lots of behind the scenes information and screenings that have had a muted response and things like that but nothing that says Indy takes a backseat to a woman as the hero lead in the film. Can you link me to an article that refers to this? I must have missed it!
Hopefully this response was thought out enough for you. 😉
It's because they can't not do that. And they also can't not revive things. Same happened with Star Wars, National Treasure, Willow even. I don't have a problem with a female hero, only the obviously forced nature of it.
In fairness, Mutt was awful, so try a different direction I suppose.
Waller-Bridge will likely get a series on Disney+
Mutt was pretty bad, but they still should have found a way to bring him back. It's very disrespectful to one of the last great/truly original blockbuster filmmakers, Steven Spielberg, to render the ending of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where Mutt picks up Indy's fedora, a deadend.
I don't care about Shia's personal life, but the story and continuity should ALWAYS take precedence over off-camera politics and other bullshit.
What's weird is that Hollywood is persisting with Ezra Miller in The Flash, when that's a movie/casting that really *didn't* need to happen, and wouldn't have hurt any continuity if it hadn't existed (if anything its existence messes up existing continuities).
Continuity is way overrated. Bond franchise has never been strong in continuity and it has managed just fine. If the makers of Indy5 were smart, they would just pretend Crystal Turd never happened.
shareUntil the Craig run of films, the Bond films basically worked by simply putting out films that were self-contained stories with little direct reference to past or future films, and that was perfectly fine.
But to the credit of the Craig series, that didn't leave many loose threads unlike KOTCS.
There are two ways to go: either you do what past Bond films did, and treat each film as a self-contained story, OR you commit fully to continuity and refuse to leave loose threads dangling. The middle way simply doesn't work. It's not only an admission of failure on the filmmakers' part, but it discredits the film in question by leaving things unresolved. The film feels incomplete.
