Captain Marvel and Ghostbusters had this tone as well, Atomic Blonde and Fury Road notably didn’t. Why are you addressing me like I’m a misogynist in need of reeducation when I’ve already paid money to see this movie headlined by women? 

I don’t think you should be so dismissive of that criticism. I recently saw the new Terminator movie, and they did something similar. I was thrilled at the new cast, and being mostly female was fine by me, but the script really shoves it down the audiences throats in a really weird way. It’s like, I’m already here…

“The trailers made it seem like it was forcibly “for women” rather than being a good movie with women in it.”

No they didn’t. You’ve managed to confirm your incel nature though. 

just to be clear, there is literally nothing a black man could ever do that would be good enough for the White Feminists™ at Jez. and there is nothing that will ever motivate them to confront their own privilege or racism. 

You’re literally saying what you wish was true. While it may be true that there are more true progressives in the Democratic electorate than ever before, look at the polling. Warren and Sanders are competing over less than 40 percent of the voters. Translation: More than 60 percent are reluctant to vote for the most…

The recent vilification of Obama by the same people who declined to vote in 2010/2014 midterms and shrugged off Supreme Court concerns in 2016 and went third party or stayed at home (like Pereene and other former Gawker writers) is not surprising.

Or it’s possible Obama knows firsthand that the majority of the country is moderate? A majority of the Democratic party even. So he thinks that getting the votes of a) moderate Democrats, b) independents, and c) Trump voters who voted for him in 2012 (about 13% of Trump voters) will take a more moderate candidate than…

Oh my God. My mom told me she saw a guy crying on TV because of taxes and basically that he might lose part of his millions. I didn't realize she was being literal.

It’s one thing to see the misleading NTY’s tweet misquoting him and then firing off angry reactionary tweets, but it’s another to have the full context of his statement and still decide to sit down and write about it and pretend he said something he never said.

Reality bites. This is our reality. Either you vote for the person who is living in reality or you vote for the person who is selling you a pipe dream.

I blame asinine romantic comedies, the same things that ruined weddings and engagements.

All of these people are simply finding their own ways to leverage the monarchy to achieve their own goals, whatever they may be. Which is probably what any of us would do if we had intentionally put ourselves in a similar position, as they have, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are basically doing business.

And who’s lazy fault is it that the showrunners didn’t have enough finishing material? Mr. I took the money and didn’t hold up my end of the bargain RR Martin himself.

Thank you for mentioning what this entire debate is about. It’s not simply the old directors not liking Marvel movies. It’s about the business of movies and how Marvel, through the growing Disney hegemony, is eating up screens at cineplexes and killing the adult-oriented drama.

I like Nolan a lot, but I think The Dark Knight is better than Inception.
(Also, The Prestige may be better than both, but that’s an aside).

Agreed but at least DC and Marvel consistently cast women and minorities in their movies. 

I think the problem is you have situations where a movie like Inception never gets made unless Christopher Nolan agrees to do The Dark Knight first.  Studios are sacrificing good films for corporate greed.  My kids will be watching Transformers 26 and some Adam Sandler movie when they are older simply because they…

They are not completely wrong. Most superhero movies are trash. There is a total of 5ish good ones that out in the last 10 years. The best two aren't even marvel movies. Logan and Spiderverse. 

Yes, lets mock and make fun of the people who created Apocalypse Now, The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas for not liking movies like Ant-Man.
