Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

[Deleted member 577981]

The Captain marvel movie was really good and the character was great and I've never understood the hate towards her or her movies.

Kudos on bumping deviantes retarded thread so we can all bask in his faux smug stupidity once more

I love how you have to resort to sarcasm because you CANT REFUTE WHAT I JUST SAID.

Its a one off an not a repeatable strategy

Baldur's Gate 3 is literally bisexual trans (Body Type 1 & 2) With GirlBosses coming out the wazoo. As is Cyberpunk 2077.

Barbie was a special case because enormous numbers of western women grew up with the toy

Lets also talk about Captain Marvel the epitome of girlboss man hating feminism that western women absolutely didn't grow up with because Carol Danvers wasn't even Captain Marvel (she was Ms Marvel) That movie also did a fucking billion.

So talk about how that one off was actually a two off, before I smack you about with a third example.

It was before the huge MCU movie and it fell off as expected with the second one.

Hang on, what is the argument? Was it not a woke movie? Is Brie Larson not a girlboss? Were her comments about 'white men in movie reviews' not PUBLIC knowledge when the film was being marketed?

You're gonna sit here with a straight face and say that go woke go broke...unless it came before another movie?

Wokeness really not much of a factor if it can be overridden so damn easily.

I do not use the word woke often. I also do not use the word girlboss.

It was up its own ass bland college prog stuff.

It;s go woke, stagnate, go broke in a lot of cases. Not in all.

MCU was the juggernaut of the last 18 or so years.

What about all the non-woke movies that stagnate and fall off?

Surely they should be more successful?

They are not in general depending how you define woke?

You missed the first reply then

Lol

Captain marvel came out between Infinity war and end game at the actual peak of MCU when everyone wouldn't dare miss a movie

The Marvels proves the point that these things aren't repeatable

The marvels died on its arse, no?

Go woke, go broke is not refuted by the fact there are other crap movies. That's an absurd argument

To use a karate forum analogy that's like saying Jon Jones isn't the GOAT because Fedor isn't the GOAT. The logic just isn't there

No, you didn't refute shit, dummy.

It's all coming to an end now anyway.

Add Dragon Age: Veilguard to the list.

Add Dragon Age: Veilguard to the list.

Veilguard was generally positively received by reviewers and had a decent launch.

according to you and @SuperAlly 'going broke' is breaking bioware's cocurrent player base on steam and knocking off Black Ops 6

Dragon Age: The Veilguard tops the Steam charts, breaks BioWare’s concurrent player record | VGC

EA’s latest has knocked Black Ops 6 off the number one slot…

Personally i always felt its not "wokeness" itself thats the problem , its that writing usually fucking sucks on average

Like heres some succesful stuff that can be considered "woke"

Expanse was diverse as fuck with characters of every race and sex yet S1 to S4 were peak goat level scifi and show overall was good

Arcane has female lead who is a lesbian and show is one of the best in recent years.

Original alien trilogy with ripley as main lead, strong female character written well

Sarah connor in T2,once again strong female lead written well

No one would have problem with galadriel in ring of retards if it was same character as in Lotr trilogy, but writing sucks so character is a moron and whoever writes it should be thrown into fires of mount doom

Ya went through this when these lunatics all wanted to scream at me about that LOTR show. Which sucked because the writing and characters were ass, not because there was a black ranger or whatever.

Maybe writers were more concerned about the ethnicity ratio on the show than actual writing. Like one of those games that got cancelled quickly and people defended that it wasn't woke, it was just plain terrible. Well, no shit. Game developers just made a diverse game and called it a day. Why can't people attach wokeness as being terrible?

It's always the same dumbass argument where some retard ends up getting mad at me for stating simple facts. These companies are gonna keep rebooting all this stuff forever. Because they paid big bucks for the rights, and they have no originality or creativity.

A lot of these IPs are old as dirt, so damn near everyone is going to be white. Because that was the only demo that mattered back then. Now when they reboot LOTR 20 times? Every single character isn't going to stay white except the cartoonish villains.

They're going to mix it up more to appeal to more demos. This is the same reason the comics have like 15 different versions of Spider-Man. So they can try to sell one to every demo. It's purely a decision based on trying to maximize profits but people get BIG MAD thinking it's some sort of social engineering agenda.

Is it though?
