Powerful female warriors and weak clumsy domestic men


How long are they going to keep doing this?

Gender reversal is no longer refreshing when it is in just about every show.

In this film there is literally a small domestic man complaining he built a home life and his warrior wife was always out, he was always weeping in small hours.

The male lead is basically a useless hustler kept being saved by women around him.

The only decent man of course was of minority.

Kind of feminist/sjw fantasy/daydreaming sort of movie.

Valid complaints, but what an Amazing movie.

If I did not notice the agenda, maybe I would have thought it was a fun little film.

But that small man was too in my face.

reply

Some people look for a political agenda in EVERYTHING. Instead of just enjoying a nice movie.

reply

Yeah, why resist brainwashing? Why can't we all just be compliant and accept whatever fed to us?

I think people like me are really becoming a problem for corporate media propaganda department.

IF PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL VANISHED ...THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER FOR IT.

It is nothing better than the mindless masses, like you, be a happy slave.

Sorry, forgot you are a woman. Now what kind of women enjoying watching the belittling (literally) of men?

YOU SEEM CONFUSED ABOUT...EVERYTHING.🤔

They need it to get to the point when the image we see in our minds of an action hero is a woman, and the image of a weak and domestic support person is a man. Right now, too many people still have the traditional images ingrained in their consciousness. I expect in a few more generations, the gender roles will be completely reversed. In the future, boys who feel like they want to be tough and have adventures will be seen as displaying female qualities and encouraged to have sex changes.

I think it starts working already:

I thought it was going to be the usual emasculating tasteless modern woke nonsense, egg on my face, I thought wrong..

I think it shows constant brainwashing works.

When I played D&D I always played male characters but I don’t ever remember there being modifiers for playing female characters.

reply

This movie felt 0% like playing D&D.

I noticed that too and I usually don't pay much attention to that kind of stuff. But they were pretty overt with it.

- Main lead male: White. Weak. Bad father. Thief. Scoundrel. Spends film atoning for his horrible crimes and getting his wife of color killed.
- Other lead white male: piece of shit liar, backstabbing. Honorless. Greedy.
- Male gay/minority/midget roles: strong. patient. valiant.
- Women: all god-like, virtuous, and infallible.
- The villain *was* a woman, but she was basically a god that could only be killed by a male of color.

Nevertheless, I thought Hugh Grant was very funny. Not a great movie overall (5/10). Special FX weren't even TV-level and very distracting. Better than average start-of-the-year film.

reply

Agreed on all points.

I will say this though - usually, woke films suffer from really crappy writing - it all feels forced. In this instance, I've noticed significant improvements on that end. The dialogue features a lot of wit - the humor is decent. All in all, I'm impressed by the woke writing staff's effort here - they are getting better. Aside from that - a lot of quality actors here - the acting ended up being .... ok-ish, since it did feel off somehow - perhaps it's the whole gender swapping thing - lol

Anyways, if the woke writing staff keeps improving like this, I might start watching more of their BS agenda films.

If it weren't because of that small domestic man, I probably would not have written this post.

The film isn't that great, but it is entertaining enough, just a bit of light fun.

reply

AND? WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?

HAVE YOU FUCKERS NEVER BEEN PEGGED IN THE ASS WHILE DRESSED AS A WOMAN TO KNOW HOW POWERFUL IT MAKES YOU FEEL? HAVE YOU NEVER CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHILE SHAVING YOUR PUSSY AS A CELEBRATION OF YOUR WOMANHOOD? I KNOW MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ WOULD KICK THE SHIT OUTTA ME AND STEAL MY LUNCH MONEY EVEN THOUGH I WHITE KNIGHT FOR WOMEN AND THE ALPHABET BRIGADE 24/7!!! WOULDN'T YOU LET HER USE YOU AS A HUMAN FLESHLIGHT?

Dammit, I need to stop channeling Kowalski!

"Waaaaah, waaah, waaah..."

It is getting a bit played out. Seems to be the norm now. The male protagonists are the comedy relief and utter goof balls whilst the female protagonists are bad ass heroes.

reply

Why can they just make entertaining shows? Is propaganda and the brainwashing of the masses that important?

They even put it before profits, that is saying something in a capitalist world.
