Blaming men for the "Marvels," movie bomb....John Nolte points out the truth....

[2aguy]

The "Marvels," and all the girl boss movies fail because they are pushing leftist, woke B.S. When they fail, they blame men for being sexist.......this is a lie.....

John Nolte explains this in detail...

Whenever a girlboss movie like The Marvels (2023) or Ghostbusters (2016) flops, no one ever blames the quality of the movie. It’s always our fault, and by “our,” I mean normal people.

How are we MAGAtards all sexists when we love a whole bunch of filmdom’s badass women? Here are a few and a look at what makes them awesome…

Sarah Connor: Terminator 2 (1991)

Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) earned the audience’s respect largely because of Hamilton, who buffed up for the role in a way that made us believe the Sarah Connor from The Terminator (1984) had evolved into a deadly, angry, determined fighting machine.

Director/writer James Cameron ensured this evolution made sense. At the end of Terminator, Sarah’s character arc went from damsel-in-distress to survivalist.

We also love Sarah because she never tries to be a man, and the movie never pretends she’s a man by having her 99-pound frame toss around 210-pound men. Instead, she uses her wits, like a syringe full of cleaning fluid or a big freaken gun.

Ripley: Aliens (1986)

Writer/director James Cameron took Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979), a classic haunted house/creature feature, and juiced it up with Space Marines and non-stop action.

In Aliens, Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) earns our respect in much the same way Sarah Connor would six years later. Ripley never tries to be a man. She only takes over a leadership role after the Space Marines fail. She is driven by her maternal instinct to save a child. And again, she’s not throwing around 210-pound men. She’s surviving on grit, brains, and resourcefulness.

Alice: Resident Evil Franchise (2002 – 2017)

These six films grew in popularity over their fifteen years, and no one complained about having a woman play an action hero. Why?

To begin with, Alice (Milla Jovovich) is sexy, and when you’re talking about a woman as beautiful as Jovovich, men find that sexiness equal parts appealing, threatening, and intimidating. Classic femme fatales — from Barbara Stanwyck to Kathleen Turner to Sharon Stone — are always sexy. That sexiness makes them feel like a threat.

Not to mention the audience was 65% male. White men made up the biggest demographic.

Where were all the women viewers? Where were all the blacks?
Looks like none of them wanted anything to do with this pile of garbage either…

MGM+ ran the newest Transformers Rise of the Beasts movie the other day.....Woke as fuck.

This pretty much sums it up.

Rise of the Woke​

When will these studios learn. Stop giving big budget fx movies to unproven diversity hacks with no track record. It doesn't' get more woke than this. The entire cast is made up of minority hires.

The female lead is horribly miscast, looks like a swollen gopher and can't act at all. The only white people are bad cops or those in positions of power who take advantage of and oppress minorities.....

Super Hero movies are for kids. As you were.

Same reason the WNBA fails….women are not that into it
Women are not that into Superhero movies

That is why they have Chick Flics

Some points.

I'm not sure why Disney went forward with this movie, as Captain Marvel wasn't a popular character. The only reason why the first movie did well, was because it was sandwiched between Infiniti War and Endgame and they implied it would have relevant plot points in it. (It didn't, which no doubt pissed off the fanboys even more.)

The Ms. Marvel miniseries flopped on Disney Plus. That should have been another clue.

But the reality is, the audience has superhero fatigue after 33 "Official" Marvel films and all the unofficial ones for the X-Men and Spiderman movies. People are just tired of seeing the same movie over and over again.

Second point, you list a bunch of movies with female leads, and frankly, that's fine.

But Ripley wasn't the star of Aliens, the Aliens were. By the third and fourth movies, people got tired of her.

Linda Hamilton wasn't the star of Judgement Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger was.

But these movies were not made on huge budgets compared to today. The real problem here is that movies have become too expensive to make their money back. If "Dial of Destiny" had been made on "Raiders of the Lost Ark"'s budget, it would have been considered a smash hit.

Final point. the movie theater has become a thing of the past. I had no interest in watching this movie at a theater, but I might watch it on Disney Plus.

Linda Hamilton, Sigourney Weaver, and Mila Jovovich were all smoking hot crotch burners. They portrayed strong ladies, and that is a sexy thing. However, their strength did not depend on humiliating white males. Men want to fuck the first three mentioned. The wokie chicks makes real men's cream curdle. Imagine lowering and demeaning yourself just to get a taste of some cooch attached to a white woke chick. That would be horrible; a real existential abortion. I would start fucking blow up Asian dolls if trying to bang woke chicks was my only alternative. But today's cucked young lads who have been brainwashed by media and college do this daily. It is absurd. The first time I ever referred to a chick as a "bitch" in front of a Gen Y/Z kid his lower jaw hit the ground. He was offended, at me! The last time I ever uttered the "N-word" in front of one of them (jokingly, of course) I thought I was going to have to whip his ass for acting like a humorless twat.

Times are much different today, and not for the better.

You miss the good old days when you could demean women and minorities, but you are upset when white men are humiliated in movies for modern audiences? Seems you are the one with insecurities.

Here's the real problem with movies.

1) They are way too expensive, too reliant on special effects and action sequences, and not so much on story and character development.
2) They keep recycling the same old tired IPs without adding anything new to them. Take the Star Wars Sequels. They added absolutely nothing new, they are just weaker copies of the earlier movies.
3) Entertainment choices have changed. In a world of streaming and the internet, no one has the patience to sit down for a two-hour plus movie (preceded by 20 minutes of trailers for things you do no intend to see.) Not when you can sit in the comfort of your own home, with a big screen, and get the same experience, except you don't have to deal with crowds and can hit pause for a bathroom break.

I do not disagree with your nos.1-3. As far as your preface, I find it laughable. You are an automatonic twat.

The thing about alien, terminator is Cameron didn't say "I'm going to make a bad ass girl movie and I want to empower women". No he said "I want to make a good movie".

His one and only priority was to make a good movie and didn't care about other stuff. The problem with modern movies is their priority is social agenda nonsense, they want to make a tough girl movie first instead of wanting to make a good movie. They care more about checking boxes on what the Twitter crowd is screaming.

It's the same reason thriller a cruel picture, switchblade sisters, I'm no angel, Friday the 13th and a lot more were all great movies despite having female leads. Because they just wanted to make a good movie and never even once mentioned women being in it, they were just in it

Metoo, politically correct, empowered women, diversity, etc have ruined Hollywood because those are their reasons for making movies.

I miss the Hollywood where studios just said "here is some money, go make what you want and bring back more money". Now movies are made around social agendas and lack creativity because they don't want to offend anyone.

Aqua teen hunger force summed up this idea nicely years ago in a short clip.



I miss movies where directors said "I made the movie I want to make and I hope you'll like it also. If not, oh well".

I'm not sure why Disney went forward with this movie,

LOL! Are you that dumb?

Because the Moon Bat assholes at Disney now are woke as shit and they can't help themselves. They are sick in the mind and need to go see a mental health specialist.

They are destroying the wholesome family orientated American centric entertainment that Walt created. Leftest assholes can't help themselves from destroying everything they touch.

Just as part of the superhero and other films using CGI, watching some of them in the fight or violence scenes it seems the CGI is advanced enough where it seems faster than what we comprehend or too much information on the screen.

First, the Terminator was a B-movie. It was made on a very low budget of 6.4 Million dollars. (About 19 million in today's dollars.) It was distributed by Orion Pictures which has since gone out of business. So, arguing it's comparable to today's Disney is a bit flawed.

The Terminator movies made since then have all been flops with much bigger budgets. Dark Fate had a $196 MM budget and only made $261MM back. A flop by most standards.

It's the same reason thriller a cruel picture, switchblade sisters, I'm no angel, Friday the 13th and a lot more were all great movies despite having female leads. Because they just wanted to make a good movie and never even once mentioned women being in it, they were just in it

All of those are low budget, low expecation films. Friday the 13th (the original) was made on a budget of $550,000. That wouldn't pay for the craft services table at a movie today. The other films I haven't even heard of but I suspect they had equally low budgets.

Having a hit movie is like capturing lightening in a bottle. For every cult classic that makes a cultural impact (and sadly, you could argue that about Terminator or F-13) you have dozens of forgettable movies you rented at the video store and forgot about a week later.

Metoo, politically correct, empowered women, diversity, etc have ruined Hollywood because those are their reasons for making movies.

I miss the Hollywood where studios just said "here is some money, go make what you want and bring back more money". Now movies are made around social agendas and lack creativity because they don't want to offend anyone.

Hollywood can't work like that anymore... Movies are too expensive to make, with all the CGI and higher production values and such.

Because so much money is involved, you are going to have a lot more people making decisions. It's safer to make a Franchise movie than it is to try something new.

The ironic thing about the MCU is Marvel sold off all it's gems - Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic Four - to other studios, and the MCU characters were the b-list titles they had left. Seriously, before Robert Downey, Jr., only the Comic Book NERDS knew who Tony Stark was.

So the MCU got cocky. They figured that they could take ANY B-list or C-list title, make the same movie about a hero with Daddy Issues, and print out a ton of money. And it worked just fine until this year, when we got bored with D-listers like Captain Marvel and Ant-Man.

Most of what Walt Created they can't even show because of outdated stereotypes and other offensive material. They lock it down in the deepest vault and won't put it on Disney Plus.

Disney frankly took source material that was pretty fucking grim and gave it more happy endings than a massage parlor.

The Jungle Book ends with Mowgli's animal friends storming the village.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame ends with Esmarelda being hanged and the Hunchback letting himself die next to her tomb.
Mulan's Saga ended with Mulan killing herself to avoid an arranged marriage.
Pocahontas was kidnapped by the British and died at 21 from tuberculosis.
