ah yes thats why these woke remakes are so beloved.
just face it, its easier to take something thats already popular and use it as a political vehicle because that’s exactly whats happening. no one would watch that kind of preachy self-congratulatory drivel without a brand name slapped on it.
case and point phase 4 marvel is about to tank itself just the like star wars trilogy. something gets popular and people that give 2 shits about the source material just insert stories that feel like cold war era propaganda pieces & everyone that doesnt like it is a bigot.
when people used to be interviewed they didnt go “yeah the last movie wasnt empowering enough so heres my cool new take on X popular series. I hope we can all learn something from my amazing work of art.”
Its very clearly an agenda and they openly admit this.
If your number 1 priority is race or gender swapping a character go make a social documentary instead of subjecting everyone to your EPIC subversions. But they know no one will willingly watch that.
