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.

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)

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

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.

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’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.

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

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.

[-] valkyre09@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

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!

[-] TransNeko@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

don't remind me of that abomination. that 2016 movie doesn't exist. erase it from my memories.
