So as a man who has no hesitation identifying himself as a feminist, I've gotta say... fuck 'em. *shrug*

One could easily argue that the ratio of MRAs to radical feminists is 300 to 1. But radical feminists like allecto do exist and can undermine perfectly reasonable, equality-focused feminism.
And yet completely meaningless. Rotten Tomatoes and their scores are not the gold standard nor the final arbiter of what constitutes a good film. Sorry to disappoint you but preferences and opinions DO vary on certain films. Nothing is sacrosanct.
For what it's worth, I am a member of the Cherokee Nation but I'm a pretty lousy member. I've only voted in one election and that was more than a decade ago. But as for the viewpoint of other Natives, they're out there. As one should expect, the perspectives aren't uniform. Here's a few.
Look at that. You're getting there.
There's no proof whatsoever that he has any Native American ancestry. Is he on the Dawes Roll? Should be easy enough to verify, yes?
You're missing the point. It's bad enough that Jay Silverheel's Tonto has a legacy of racism surrounding it (most especially the pidgin English he spoke). But compounding that with hiring a white guy to play a Native exacerbates an already problematic situation.
Thankfully your insistence on keeping racist caricatures alive "for their cultural value" is starkly transparent for the mountain of bigoted apologism and horseshit that it is. As is your personal belief that we live in a post-racism world.
A cowardly decision in the extreme. Fiction is meant to be read and yes, sometimes, critiqued. Attempting to safeguard ridiculous writing is a crusade on borrowed time.
Christopher Reeve absolutely was a flawless Superman/Clark Kent. You'll see no argument from me on that front. But aside from that and the unsurpassable theme (it and the Danny Elfman Batman theme will hopefully stand the test of time), I find it an incredibly dated film series that continues to age rather poorly.…
How much logic and real-world physics should one bring to bear upon a fictional world? Should gravity work? Should escape velocity?
Posted because it's necessary. Fiction is meant to be inapplicable to the real world.
"And Tonto speak broken English, use strange customs as plot device, save white man's ass whole lot'um. Cliche? Yes, but he's the mold that made it."
I'm dying for someone to do a pulp hero team up movie.
Sorry... the facial structure? You're serious?
Yeah... funny story about Depp's "Native American-ness".
You're missing the point entirely.
There's far too many ifs and maybes in that statement.
In another universe, this movie covered the better written Dynamite Entertainment comics. :( I secretly hate that universe.
