I don't have any problem neither with all the movies from the 40s and 50s that made black males the main characters.
It isn't difficult not having problems with Lucius Fox being played by a white when that hasn't ever happened (not even in the animated series) and has zero chances to happen nowadays.
So we'll see Black Panther recast as a white guy, isn't it?
Ah, no, we won't.
I have a problem with the percentages of archetypes played.
• White males you have as positive Batman himself and District Attorney Gil Colson. As negative archetypes Riddler, Falcone, Penguin and Commissioner Pete Savage. Alfred, played by Serkis, won't be the usual positive character but something nastier and more negative.
In a nutshell, <b>white males: 28% positive characters</b>, 57% negative characters.
• <b>Black males</b>, you have Jim Gordon: <b>100% positive characters</b>.
You could make the same calculation for every Hollywood movie and the outcome would be similar: black males play almost 100% positive charming smart characters, white males play mostly nasty psychos or cucks. Even in the Joker, when you think about it, most black characters were positive, and most white ones were negative. That's becoming a rule of this new racist Hollywood.
Well, then we have black Seline Kyle and black Lt. Gordon in the movie (and black clone Alfred in the series).
Not to say Alfred in the movie is played by Andy Serkis, an actor that gives a nasty and vicious chill to his characters. It seems they're gonna make good old Alfred the usual white cuck archetype in modern Hollywood. And not to say the villains are all white males: Riddler, Falcone, Penguin... here there's no blackwashing, no femwashing.
It seems that the only decent white male in the movie left is gonna be Pattinson.
Wokeness rising.

So... what's the difference with the rest of Hollywood?
<blockquote>Now keep in mind, dear readers, that a "demisexual" is a normal, healthy, functional human being who sees sex as an emotional experience and therefore doesn't have sexual feelings for people unless they have a strong connection to them. But apparently, Mrs. Autism thinks this makes you abnormal. </blockquote>
Indeed, if you're a man, it does.
Most men don't need to have any strong emotional connection to have sexual feelings.
Nothing in particular. I was curious.
40s
How old are you? (if that can be asked)
Nope. It's a lot of effort and you're raising somebody else's kid. That's not being a father, that's being a baby-sitter.
It would have been quicker just answering 'movies from 1982' :P
<blockquote>people that will flock to this</blockquote>
Not likely. People wanted some crazy sexy fun movie about Harley Quinn. Instead, this is a cringey feminst covered up Harley Quinn movie.
Well, it's comedy, an a xmas movie, and a romance, all the genres perfectly balanced.
I like both of them, but as you, I like TSaC far more than IaWL.

Roddenberry's view had some logic: the Enterprise was the jewel of the fleet, and the crew were the best among the best.
Roddenberry was part of a very meritocratic culture, Ancient US, and concept of discriminating people according to their merits and qualities was widely accepted in that culture.
Of course, modern world don't share the points of views of these ancient cultures and has moved on from meritocratic values, so having a selected crew which is not greedy or lusty or toxic could seem naive. But in the mind of Roddenberry, the Federation was the ideal representation of Ancient US, and it fitted inside its cultural values.
The old movie lacked the modern political agenda.
