It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.

These days it seems like most things getting called "woke DEI crap" are totally in line with the norms of society, but someone wants to change that.
Pretty sure "woke DEI crap" is universally understood as pandering. And everyone is pissed at stories being written specifically to scream woke crap at you instead of just incorporating diversity in, as it fits the story itself, and moving on with a good show.
Yeah, loopy religious people who want to take society back to the middle ages.
it applied to all SCI fi show both pre-STD(DISCOVERY) thats what really got thier panties in a wad, when kurtzman made all the women have lead roles.SG1 wasnt spared either, as recently Invincible was called woke, just because the female general in coalition took command of the ship (the planet of ragnarrs) to refreeze the beasts.
there was definitely a concerted effort around 2020(thats when woke became super prominent in comments of shows like star trek) around election time to illicit more voters to side with conservatives through propaganda.
And don't forget, Mark first GF is now black! The horror!
the moment maga calls something woke... I embrace that game/tvshow/movie/book. they all turn out to be pretty good (other than a few gacha games)
Its how I pick media these days too. Now that SFA is over, what are we watching?
Please don't make me get a Truth Social account to mine for our viewing list.
the pedo protectors love posting their lists everywhere. hell I've even seen them on rednote.
currently I am watching every yuri and BL coded donghau I can find.
Sometimes they're accidentally right about something sucking, but always for a different reason than culture war BS. Ghostbusters 2016, for example.
i noticed that to, STD was one, the show sucked bad. they almost are selfaware, they said terrible writing but then said it is due to wokeness and having women in the show. SG1 was an oddball it got called woke/lib by both tankies and conservatives. right about lucifer in sandman being casted by gwendoline, shouldve been the way in mythology and comics. but comes up with wokeness as the reason.
I disagree, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call received way more hate than it deserved. I really enjoyed it and I have rewatched it a bunch of times, more than I’ve rewatched Ghostbusters 2. Holtzman is my favorite character and I love the goofy dance she does with Abby. And I love Chris Hemsworth’s character, he does big goofy handsome guy really well.
It was way better than the last 2. I watched Afterlife once and I have no interest in watching Frozen Throne at all.
My only issue with that movie was the timing of a few jokes (they made them longer than they should so they stopped being fun) and that the trailer spoiled half of the jokes. The movie itself is cool.
The newest ones? their only redeeming quality for me is Egon's granddaughter. The kid is really good. Everything else is just the dumbest nostalgia bait ever (even having the mom's boyfriend a literal stand in for the kind of fan the movies pander to).
I can see where some of the jokes drag on a bit, but I’m personally ok with that. I’ve rewatched it a bunch of times when I use the elliptical or stationary bike at the gym. I feel like the extra laughs give my abs a workout 🤷♀️ lol. I laugh my ass off at “The power of Patty compels you!!” and “Is it more or less disgusting if I tell you it came out the front?” every single time. I adore Holtzman so much.
For me, the new ones don’t have a redeeming quality, that’s not the kid actors faults though. Afterlife came out when we still weren’t going to theaters because of COVID. I was very excited for it and I bought it at full price the day it came out on iTunes. I watched it that night and the first thing I remember saying after it was over was “what the fuck was that shit?” All that nostalgia baiting cash grabbing was gross. And the CGI Egon at the end made me feel sick to my stomach, it felt disrespectful to Harold Ramis. I can’t even bring myself to be interested in Frozen Empire.
I often see people complain that a franchise “forgot” what they are supposed to be about and IMO, that is exactly what happened with GBA and GBFE. They completely forgot that GB is a raunchy horror comedy and made a family friendly coming of age “scary” movie. It’s an entirely different genre.
I’m with you. 2016 may not compare to the original, but it was a solid comedy with a good heart. The bloody meltdown parts of the internet had over it was insane.
Meh. Leslie Jones's character was the laziest "sassy black woman" stereotype I've ever seen. Whoever wrote that drivel isn't fit to work on a 3rd rate sketch comedy show let alone a big budget Hollywood movie.
Holy fuck, how many of the things have they made? Jurassic fucking Park over here lol.
JP series with chris pratt is also bad, but i dont see conservative complaining about that, oh becauses the one as the lead, and not someone J Lawrence. i bet they love him even more now that he identifies as a far right christian.
Yeah, that movie was so ass. My perfect summation of it. We rented it, my daughter picked it out. Like ten minutes in, she says something like, "This is so terrible, I am going to my room."
Now, normally, she will just ignore whayever is on and play on her phone or whatever and ignore it, this, she actively wanted to flee from.
It was actually impressive just how bad it was. It's like they were trying to make it unbearable to watch. The fact that it carried the name of an all-time classic made it so much worse.
I was reading your comments thinking, it wasn’t that bad guys. One quick google search revealed I was thinking about the 2021 movie and had completely blocked all memory of the 2016 one. You’re spot on, it was atrocious!
If I remember right, the only good thing in it was Chris Hemsworthbseemed to be having a good time.
Which is of course, an "awful" criticism on the surface because of course "You must think its woke because you only liked the guy's part of it."
I actually think it could have worked with a better cast honestly. I know the original was basically all SNLpeople, but doing it again just made it really bleh.
don't remind me of that abomination. that 2016 movie doesn't exist. erase it from my memories.
There have been a few examples I can think of where they've called something woke and it was legit pretty mid or outright bad. But usually that's down to it being a game by committee by people who only interact with marvel level writing, like Dragon Age: Veilguard which is just shit or Mass Effect: Andromeda which honestly just kinda mid.
I actually liked Andromeda (the story concept) the game play was dog shit. if they had fleshed out the combat a bit more, used a different game engine, and published it not as a Mass Effect IP but as a stand alone game... it would have been golden.
I never thought of it like that. Fuck, that's depressing.
99% of what you hear people like that accuse others of is pure protection. They're telling you what they want to do without realizing it, so "woke agenda trying to brainwash our kids!" could be translated into "we want to brainwash kids toward our ideology."
I remember a coworker saying something about trans people and how we can't say anything anymore because it all has to be about them or something. I never got the impression this person was bigoted. It seemed completely out of character. I said something like ("They just want equal rights and the same respect as you and I. What's the issue?") Maybe people should worry more about weather or not their kids are learning the life skills they need to survive and less about weather or not their kids see two dudes kissing in a movie. Mom and dad need to untighten their buttholes. Even if I don't understand something, I try to be empathetic and understanding to those who are different from me. I wish everyone else did.
They're trying hard to change it. Almost like they have a playbook of some kind...
I did Nazi that coming
