This movie proves that "get woke, go broke" is a cope of the anti-woke folks


This movie wears it's woke ideology with pride and yet was incredibly successful just like several woke shows and movies like Euphoria, The Last of Us, and modern games like Baldur's Gate 3, etc. The anti-woke crowd like to tell themselves that anything that gets woke goes broke but that is obviously a lie and they just like t say that as a form of cope mechanism.

There are non-woke shows failing all the time and this has been true since forever. A great number of movies and shows end up flopping for reasons other than it being or not being woke.

this movie was not showcased as being a woke movie.
it was a movie about toys...... and a movie kids were allowed in to see, of course it made a lot of money.

after this one we have several woke movies flop big time.
Marvels being the latest one.

JoWilli found this out the hard way with his terrible prediction(before he went back and edited the post!)

It was marketed brilliantly and the women & gays showed up in droves. Those people didn't care if the movie sucked because it was about the filmgoing experience. That's why you say pictures all over social media of people dressed up in pink going to see the movie.

They're clowns.

Step 1: Claim every 'woke' tv show, movie or game will flop.

Scenario 1: When it makes money but gets bad reviews proclaim it a victory as everyone hates it.
Scenario 2: When it loses money but gets good reviews proclaim it a victory because people don't want to watch it.
Scenario 3a: When it makes money and gets good reviews then claim it isn't actually 'woke'.
Scenario 3b: When it makes money and gets good reviews then quickly move on to the next 'woke' media to bash.
Scenario 4: When it loses money and gets bad reviews proclaim it a massive victory and proof everyone hates 'woke' media.

They live in a fantasy world, conjured up by alt right media online, a world where a vicious battle for the fate of society is being waged. On one side the 'woke' on the other side the good guys (the racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, etc)

They stir shit to cause outrage and constantly claim to be winning said imaginary war.

You summed it up quite well and the anti-work clowns are losing as wokeness carries on taking over the culture. They will get more and more unhinged as there is nothing they can do to stop it.

reply

except all woke movies do flop.

this one is not a woke movie, it was a bait and switch.

the plot of the movie was not known, and every woman dragged their man and kids along for a nice family outing.

reply

fantasy world.... hahahahah

unlike people who think men are women. THAT's not fantasy at all now, is it. :D Noice.

How come Scenario 4 is the only scenario that happens?

reply

The extreme 'anti-woke' crowd is just as embarrassing as the extreme 'woke' crowd.

This whole "us vs. them" mentality is childish and needs to stop.

The line mostly stands for established brands and franchises. Star Wars got ruined, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, MCU, Lord of the Rings. And The Last of Us 2 got ruined because it went woke.

Aside from very ambiguous marketing, Barbie was successful because it isn't that woke. It is a lousy movie, but a very good satire. Plus, Barbie, unlike Rey, captain Marvel, She-Hulk etc., doesn't go through the movie unchanged and "always and forever perfect". She learns and grows and becomes a better person, especially to Ken.

25 failed woke movies in the last few years....

1 movie that didn't fail....

SEE?? SEE????? YOU WOKE HATERS ARE ALL WRONG!! SEE?? SEE????


Yeah. Dunce. I ALWAYS allow for the reality of "exceptions"

reply

Now do the non-woke movies that have failed.

reply

Why? None of them are agenda driven political moves swapping sexes and races to check boxes. No one cares.

reply

Woke? How can Barbie be woke with 2 huWhite actors as leads? Barbie and Ken weren't race swapped or gender swapped. This movie is evidence that huWhite Supremacy puts butts in seats.
