I was watching ESPN+ the other day and the same commercial popped up over and over about a new woke movie called "The 355" that featured a diverse cast of female spies.

I was watching UCF, and they have a limited number of advertisers because of limited viewers, and the same commercial for "The 355", a shooter with women in expensive dresses, came up over and over. I wasn't interested in watching a group of women that specialize in pointing guns and posing in fashionable clothing. Just didn't seem like my sort of thing. I don't understand why they would want to advertise on a station that attracts mostly male viewers, but maybe they were trying to make a statement.

Anyway....the movie tanked at the boxoffice.




"Diversity and representation.
Oh, yeah, that’s why we go to the movies, for two hours of diversity and representation.​
Good grief.​
Here’s an action movie that offers five fairly big stars — Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, and Fan Bingbing — and with no serious competition at the box office, it dies a humiliating $4 million death.​
The 355 does deserve credit for not pulling a Ghostbusters, for coming up with an original franchise and not hijacking a male-driven one, but does a single second of this trailer make you want to go out in the cold, drive to a movie theater, and plunk down $40?"​

Everything Woke is crashing and burning.
 
Totally Spies..........all grown up. LOL

Actually, this concept was put out about a decade ago to counter all the male driven spy movies that had come out. But as usual, it was one that got shelved.

They picked a very bad time to put this out.

As "progressive" and "forward thinking" this country pretends to think it is......it's still stuck in the era of sexism.

It's not sexism....because it's not realistic.
I spent alot of time carrying weapons.....and learning how to kill people.....and the only jobs women in combat seemed to be good at was either flying jets or firing a sniper rifle.
If your average woman were to get in a fist-fight with a bunch of bad guys she's going to get her butt killed.

They should be ashamed of themselves!

None of those woman have a penis.

The thing is a successful "re-imaging" with a female cast in place of males can be done, just look at Ocean's 8.
