Why is Hollywood systematically destroying older film heroes?

In the equal sense, people can be bothered by messaging in movies and it isn't wrong.
Because you are not, doesn't mean others shouldn't be.
Suspending reality to watch movies is a given. However, a good film maker knows the story needs to be believable.
The example I have used 1000 times - would it matter if Darth Vader's outfit was pink polka dots? Yeah... it would.

As for messaging, it matters. Especially when a film targets a young audience. Kids are very impressionable.
Parental supervision..........

You want to be upset by a "message" in a movie? Go right ahead, I don't have a problem with that.

Sorry.....but this careless attitude is all cool and shit......but the only way Hollywood is going to be able to stay in business is if the government subsidizes them.....and Pelosi had those types of provisions in their bills to do just that. They're using our money to pay for this social engineering crap.

I remember 15 years ago I was harping about the MSM being extremely biased....and everyone said "Don't worry....this is the way it's always been....so don't worry".

Well.....this is what happens when you let the left have their way.

You get Biden in the White House and some lying Muslim chick who came to America to get away from her shithole country and now she's in the House talking shit about our country. Any other country they would have kicked her the fuck out.

Actually most of Hollywood's money comes from Chinese backers. Ever wonder why Richard Gere suddenly disappeared a while back? He's an outspoken critic of Chinese human rights........ The reason Pelousy et al wanted to pour government money into Hollywood is the Hollywood, Chinese relationship has begun to sour leaving producers looking for money elsewhere, they're lobbying for handouts so they can still make movies/TV shows and still keep their yachts and mansions........

If you actually believe you can stop the progression of time and change then good luck, you have my best wishes.

Yes....do nothing and just let it happen.

Good advice.

They thought the same thing in Germany too.

Every country that relaxes their standards and just let's this shit go on pays the same price.

Wait till they decide that you can't have HVAC anymore.
Then you'll be sweating bullets.

Right now they're carting off people in Shanghi that don't follow their God Damned rules.

Ya know, I've been where you are, I've railed at the heavens, been pissed off and fought back only to see it get worse. I'm tired and beat down. If you think you can do better then more power to ya. The world decides, the world always decides.........

Why don't you just off yourself then?

It would be alot quicker.

I get that, I absolutely do. I know for a fact when we retire in a few years... we are moving on some land and to hell with the world. You are a few years ahead of us in the circle.
Now, I have a grandaughter that is 1 1/2 and a second grandchild on the way. So I worry about them.
I understand why you don't care. You can also understand why others still do.
 
Interesting video I ran across... if you choose to watch it, do yourself a favor and skip to the :50 mark... you will avoid a rather long intro.

Anyway, I rarely watch any modern remakes of movies, so I have only seen a few of them. But I absolutely saw, and hated, the Star Wars "The Rise of Skywalker"... who could not notice that two of the biggest heroes of the series, Han Solo and Luke, were reduced to helpless imps to be outsmarted and out done by a 80lb. female "space Jesus" who is unstoppable, and in her first fight, barely even aware she has the force... beats a life long trained Supreme Lord of the Dark Side - Kylo Ren. One of the dumbest scenes in a movie in a long time.
The video goes on to show how modern Hollywood seems determined to destroy the "old heroes" who got to be heroes, through the best of human traits and valor, to replace them with 80lb. weaklings who get to greatness... for no apparent reason... just super awesome without explanation.


Ya know, if you hate women then you'll REALLY REALLY hate that last Avengers movie.
You're welcome.
 
Ya, you keep tellin' yourself that Sparknutz. :thup:

Here, read this........ Substitute World Power for Empire...........

I already know about this.
None of it is new to me.
But you go ahead and just go along being meek and I'll rage until the dying of the light.
That's why they selected me as a Green Beret.
They don't pick us because we follow orders.
They picked us because we took charge and stopped the chaos.

I know you're good-hearted....but you're not helping the situation.
 
Aye... and the point of the video.
Luke Skywalker was like anyone else, could have been any member in he audience.
But through sheer determination, brutal hard work and relentless loyalty to the good cause - becomes a powerful hero.
In the "Rise of Skywalker" all of that was torn down in order to make the audience accept the new hero.
Oh crap!
He some extra little critters running around in his blood.
Of course, none of you bothered that his daddy was Jeebers?

Rise of Skywalker was boring because it was all F-X and no story.
Solo was worse. 110 minutes of George explaining why error in episode 4 was not an error at all.

I just know better than to stand in front of a speeding train with my hand outstretched expecting to be able to stop it. Our world is gone and it's not coming back anytime soon.

Who said I didn't care? I still care but I know there's no stopping change and the world will bring what the world brings and every succeeding generation must deal with it as it comes. It gets to a point where we no longer have any control over it (like we actually think we did in the first place) so I decided to control the one thing I can, me.......... Teach your kids the best you can and hope they can have at least some influence down the road.

If you read up on how communists and socialists get in power....it's because they warp our children and get rid of their principles. If you have no principles you tend to accept anything they shovel your way.

You can't be afraid of being called "uncool". I've never given a flying-fuck what everyone else thinks because I've always been an individual.
It's like the abortion debate that started when I was in school. All the kids thought it was perfectly fine to murder your children before they're born....but I never went for it. But on the other hand.....I have issues with idiots in the GOP that do everything they can to stop others from having abortions. All they're doing is playing into Leftist's hands. My thoughts are that you never let anyone know what you're going to do...till it's too late for them to do anything about it.
