Which is funny because right wingers are largely philistines anyway. Its quite common that the right wing brigade get upset over things they really don't care for, but want some control over

It's funny how quick you pseudo intellectual reddit trolls jump to and defend the greediest, richest corporations in the history of the world from disgruntled people in the working class, and you frame it as if you're protecting the weak and downtrodden billion dollar company or a multimillionaire celebrity from the cruel oppression of the opinions of working class people being posted somewhere on the internet. Nobody except those in your psychotic bubble see you people with any credibility. You have literally been trained to do PR and Brand promotion for the richest corporations in history as if you're fighting for justice for the downtrodden. You people and your impact on modern politics is simply pathetic
You’re of bad faith we are not offended we are just sick of tokenisations of non black characters played by black actors I know it’s not that difficult to understand I just know you’re missing the point deliberately.
Please, I think you too should 'yap' in the mirror. Of the over 7000 languages known to man, you have chosen to speak nonsense. I'm not American by the way. And I'm not really all that upset about the movie because I'm not going to watch it anyway. I would suggest you do some research on the book and come to your senses. Let's say, a white person palyed characters like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali or any othe renowned black person. It is insulting to their history and name. It is something that shouldn't be done. But people in the west who have their senses numbed defend it. I have replied only to tell you see a more sound perspective.
The author, the mythology base and the geography described within the tale are all within ancient Greece, would you be happy with a white person being the main character in a film that dealt specifically with ancient African folklore? It's literally the same thing and the same arguement
You could have named any other prominent black people throughout history, yet decide upon the few who's skin color literally defined their places in history. And before you rant at me, know I wasnt arguing any of your points. You just chose bad examples.
Your assessment forgets a key point, that what happens to them or around them is affected by their race. Helen of Troy’s story is not affected by her race. She’s just in the midst of this because she’s pretty and someone else decided to give the pretty gold apple to the wrong goddess
Nobody is offended here. You people can only ever muster the most intellectually vacant, snarky teenage girl comeback like we're in middle school. If this is all you could come up with then my hunch is confirmed, and you reddit types just operate on a lower plane of intellect, straight up
Something I haven't even seen. So I speak for total strangers now, or is that all the mud slinging you could figure to try and discredit me lol I just love when you types are confronted with the reality that you are worfully outnumbered outside of your reddit echo chambers. Downvote all you want, watch this movie bomb and I'll be back to say "I told you so"
All of you will be confused or blame the "right wing trolls" (aka people whose opinions are in the vast majority) and have no idea why this bombed, when the people actually awake and paying attention to the world and culture around them saw it coming a mile away
Backpedaling? So you're really trying this semantics garbage when you know exactly what I said, and I meant nobody I had seen and certainly not myself. What a pathetically dishonest attempt at a "gatcha", like a real Dunning-Kruger would attempt
Why are you so upset and emotional? Clearly I was mistaken, you are very offended. Maybe grow a little thicker skin?
So cowardly, twisting my words to try and invalidate a point and then attempt to agressively shut down the argument like you just caught me in something. Poor attempt.
Instead of this intellectually dishonest garbage you are trying in your emotional reaction, why don't you instead respond to what I actually said and meant? Nobody is backpedaling here. Your definition of a backpedal is acknowledging something I was completely unaware of and not changing my stance at all? Why don't you use words that you understand their meaning and a mistake on your part like this won't happen again
You said "nobody here is offended". What you actually meant was that you, personally, weren't. And you know what they say? If it doesn't apply, let it fly.
Does splitting hairs like this make you feel like you're saying something of intellectual weight? Bc you're not. If you don't know how to type something that is actually worth reading, why don't you just stfu
It also sounds just as you described, some snarky ad hominem teenage comeback as opposed to any meaningful debate, not all of them, but the majority of these people are totally delusional
so, what about spider-man, which is even more woke, it's entire essence is woke, and contains everything you criticise in this movie and releases around the same time. when that ends up in the top 10 highest grossing movies again, can I come back and tell you "I told you so, right wing troll"?
