How woke it is?

I havent watched the movie,but the impression i had from the clips i watched,it seems like the umpteenth movie with a strong female character and two weak men simping for her. Seriously,they vibe i had from the body language of the two male characters in the clips is that they are 100% simping for her,in they way they move,they way they look at her,etc. meanwhile she scolds them all the time. Zendaya is a good-looking woman for sure,but isnt all that simping just "too much"?? But maybe the movie is totally different,i dont know.

Zendaya is a good-looking woman for sure

She is?

Compared to the stars of yesteryear she’s thoroughly meh. DEI has led to extreme pussy inflation, but in real terms Zendaya is a low-level mid.

As for the wokeness, I have no idea, but a diverse female lead in today’s climate suggests high levels of woke.

THANK YOU MELTON! For looks, Zendaya isn’t remotely comparable to Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Hedy Lamarr, Vivian Leigh, etc.

Well, then who? Who is there? You are talking about stars who were born almost a hundred years ago. I can’t see Elizabeth Taylor playing professional tennis like Zendaya. And you forgot the greatest beauty - Ava Gardner. This movie is about an athlete.

She looks like shit for a woman.

She is ok as a still growing teen. Problem is, she is not a teen anymore and is done growing.

I haven't watched the movie yet but is there really a threesome that involves her and two dudes? Its pretty fucked up that she's the masculine one with two dudes simping for her.

From what I heard - there isn’t a three way. They start off like they’re about to have one by kissing. But it just leads to Zendaya walking out and the 2 guys kissing each other (ick)

That's even worse.

It sounds little like Y tu mamá también. Don’t you think? Done 20 years ago. One of the greatest Alfonso Cuarón movies. Did you see that one?

[–] redban (6770) 9 months ago

I saw that one about 20 years ago. It’s not a bad movie, though a little gratuitous at times

[–] letess (1803) 9 months ago

There was a huge sex scene in that one. It’s not in Challengers. Challengers goes in a different direction. There are lust and eroticism, but not much sex. The two guys are focused on her and only her. It’s one of the best movies I have seen this year. The ending is nerve racking. As a viewer, you are smacked around all over the place.

Actually by the end it is a throuple. So even more Woke than you could have thought. Also, the umpire was queer. Like not the most realistic.

I can tell you that the judge is black and gay. Which we all know could NEVER happen. So this movie is extremely woke. Don't watch this if you don't want anything woke in your life at all. If you are anti gay or anti black or anti anything that isn't a white male hetero alpha male, you should pass heavily on this one folks.

I am not anti-diversity,i am just against stupid writing with stereotypes

In case you couldn't tell, this was sarcasm. 😁

omg it is SO WOKE. Firstly there is a BLACK WOMAN in it. Could it not be a white man??? Also, it's about TENNIS. Not football or a manly sport, but fucking TENNIS??? Might as well spray the audience with rainbow and glitter cum! Woke as hell.

Disgusting! I hate woke so much! Please, God, don't make me see this movie!

[–] Thaisticks (3277) 6 months ago

"I haven't watched the movie" but just hear me out. Sure, lots of "critics" have actually seen the movie, but that doesn't make them any more legitimate as "critics." Having not watched the movie, in fact, puts me in a better position to criticize it. First of all you can't have two buff males competing for Zendaya, when either one of them is more attractive than her (she's not bad, but only in a first grade crush sort of way). It appears from the clips that the two buff males will lock horns and engage in that most intimate of animal endeavors, performing a threesome with the female in estrous on a queen-sized bed. Apparently there follows a steamy sauna scene with the two male aspirants (both having a BMI higher than their IQ), and the finale is their championship tennis match with the winner winning the match and the girl, poor baby.

Really, if you have to ask, it's too "woke" (enlightened) for you.
