The never-ending battle against woke Hollywood and SJW infused entertainment media [trigger warning]

Indeed. And now they're even coming after the few successes that they actually managed achieve...

 

How the hell is this filth not being censored? I thought this sort of stuff was purely the domain of fanfiction?

 

I would agree in the regard that The Last Jedi's flaws were bad artistic decisions rather than wokeness. The things that wound fans up were superman Leia, killing off Snoke before his links to the Sith of the franchise were unveiled, and turning Luke into Victor Meldrew, none of which were woke, per say, but decisions made to take things in a different direction. Personally I didn't mind Luke being grumpy and realistic, because as most people age they do get less idealistic and more convinced that most things in life cannot be changed. I also liked seeing Leia slap Poe for being dumb, the BSG-esque flight of the Resistance fleet and seeing the Resistance being reduced to a small handful of survivors, but I agree that a lot of the other decisions made were bad moves.

However, let us not forget that the mess was started by The Farce Awakens just being a woke reinterpretation of Episode IV, with a female 'Luke' being able to take on the predominantly male bad guys with far greater ease than Luke ever did, without any training, and the only male characters on the good side being incompetent in one way or another (Finn's character arc being wasted, Poe being the typical pig-headed flyboy, Han playing second-fiddle to Rey when knowing the Millennium Falcon's own mechanics). In Star Wars' case, bad things followed wokeness, not the other way round. Everyone says how Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy were in kahoots to try and sabotage Star Wars, but Abrams was clearly just as bad, otherwise Episode VII wouldn't have been woke and it wouldn't have set a precedence for VIII and IX to be woke as well.

It was J.J. Abrams who began the wokeness in the Star Wars universe, and he is the one I blame first and foremost for Star Wars' downfall (alongside Kathleen Kennedy of course ).

 

I believe that in the vast majority of cases that is simply untrue. The agenda comes first. We've seen it time and time again. They already have that mindset before starting work on a film. These people aren't pretending or putting up a protective facade, they live and breath this stuff. Nothing is more important to them than "the message".

 

I have one theory which may be plausible. They might simply be saying all this stuff before the release of Flash in hopes of recouping some of the huge amount of money they invested in it. Afterwards, they can just as easily get rid of Ezra (or keep him in the highly unlikely event the film is a massive success).

There would be little point of announcing his departure prior to the release of the Flash movie. That would instantly doom the box office hopes of the film. Even if you knew you were getting rid of him, you'd wait until you've made back whatever money you can from the movie. I know they outright binned the Batwoman movie, but I think that was a much smaller investment, and also had very little chance of earning back any significant portion of its money. The Flash likely has more money sunk into it and stands a better chance of earning back a higher percentage of its investment (as compared to Batwoman), even if it goes on to be a failure.


Of course, it could be equally true that my speculation above turns out to be just that, speculation, and they are being honest when they say they are keeping Miller. In which case, that seems pretty nonsensical. People love Henry Cavill. Why keep Miller over him?

 

I think you'd be in the minority. It would be box office suicide to announce that Ezra is being let go.

 

Indeed. That is assuming that they do get rid of him afterwards. If they are being genuine, then it is the worst decision.

The dude is a freak and a menace. Definitely has a couple of screws loose.

Meanwhile, they get rid of Cavill.

 

Misandry is definitely a thing, just as misogyny is a thing. Both offences are as bad as one another, as an egalitarian I can see this as clearly as day. Of course, modern institutions in their enslavement by female supremacist movements wish to inflict a double standard that is the reverse of the 19th and previous Centuries by hiding the existence of one of these offences.

It's time the silent majority made its presence felt once again.
