The same tv that told you about the “firey but mostly peaceful protests”? The same tv that claimed Trump said Nazis were very fine people? The same tv that said Rittenhouse was a murderer?
Suspension of disbelief.
Both, though more often in comics.
A lot of the time, Batman and Robin just use their fists. There’s plenty of instances where Robin literally takes down guys by punching and kicking them, whether it’s hitting them in their vital spots or using flashy acrobatic moves.
Evidence like that makes the violent footage look all the more suspect. The violent footage looks staged, like it was filmed elsewhere, maybe even filmed beforehand, but aired at the same time to make it look worse than it actually was.
Eh, I grew up with Batman and Robin, with Robin being a 9-12 year old kid taking on adults much larger than him. Not to mention various other stories and franchises where tiny people are beating much bigger opponents, whether they have powers or not.
"equally well" is debatable, and based on past black-washing efforts, it's unlikely. If people defending this are gonna complain that a Hawaiian actress isn't Hawaiian enough for Lilo and Stitch, it's only fair to ask that a white girl play a white girl.
Does she hate herself and/or her race by any chance?
Then why bother getting her in the first place? Just hire an actual white girl.
I love his earlier works, but having every movie and show feel like his gets old fast, especially when writers do it poorly like you said. And when they're not copying Whedon, they're copying the edgier James Gunn, who pretty much filled the void when allegations against Whedon destroyed his career. Funnily enough, Gunn beat his own allegations.
Their styles are not a one-size-fits-all for nerdy IPs, it doesn't work on all of them. I don't wanna see Lord of the Rings or Star Wars with that style; that last DnD movie tried it and it didn't work for me. DnD should be an epic like LOTR, not some Avengers/Guardians/Suicide Squad wannabe.
Modern writers are copying Joss Whedon and James Gunn and they suck at it. They think they're funny and clever when they're not. But the MCU has dominated the box-office for 10 years, so studios think that's what everyone wants to see in every movie, TV show, book, and video game, and that's why they now only hire writers with that style, even if they suck.
