What all black cast is he talking about? And yes the marvels was all women but... They didn't even fucking gender swap the characters like Ghostbusters or something like that?
And out of all the fucking MCU it's the only movie with three female leads.
Edit- Jesus Christ I'm an idiot. It hit me. He's bitching that Black panther was about black people isn't he??
He’s also upset that the black panther wore a black suit.
Ghostbusters gender swapped the characters? AFAIK, is just a new team of ghostbusters that happens to be all women.
It was a reboot except women this time. So yeah... Gender swapping. Not trying to start all that drama btw... I honestly like the movie. I own it even. It didn't have shit on the originals that's for damn sure but... It wasn't the horror the internet made it out to be.
Was that Ghostbusters really decent? I have the avoided all the new Ghostbusters, not because of the internet outrage crap, but because Ghostbusters 2 was an absolute steaming pile of dog shit. I figured the new reboots / whatever were going to be even worse than that atrocity.
Eh....if you didn't like 2 then you probably wont like these either. Personally I like them all. Girl ghostbusters was absolutely the weakest for me but still dumb fun. Honestly did something i would have KILLED to see explored in a sequel. The feds showing up and basically being like 'yes we know god damn well there are ghosts now will you shut the fuck up about it?' Afterlife was god damn good to me. Something at the end was pretty controversial for some but absolutely fucking destroyed me.
But like I said..I know some people hated 2 and...yeah. if you are one then the new ones probably wont be your thing either.
It was a good movie. Not great, but good enough to enjoy it without a single eye-roll..
In my opinion, there's already a great Ghostbusters movie. I don't need to see any more. I'd rather them do something new than drag that (or any other) IP around for easy money.
