I used to enjoy movies, but lately something is wrong, its a lot of politics, and bad stories, and its getting boring, so why would I pay for that? Or even waste my time?
And one of the things that is really getting on my nerves is the social issues that have been brought up by the actress portraying She-Hulk, who says she is Canadian in fact.
I'm against Raisin, sexisim, or predijuce in general, its wrong, simple as that, I'll add that in the case of a police officer using police brutality and hurting someone based on their skin color, even if they are not dead, I believe, are guilty of a capital crime, treason, and should be executed, not giving an inch of leniency, this stuff has to end.
But I also believe that those words can be weaponized and must not be allowed to be used to as a throw away, or to hurt someone for no reason.
I've read the arguments made About Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds, from Tatiana Maslany and the more I watch DeadPool and Wolverine, and then the She-Hulk series, there are several issues.
- Movies and TV should always be created for the audience to enjoy, so they can escape reality and enjoy a period of time to escape into a different reality and just get lost in it, and Media should never be created for the audience to learn politics and push your personal beliefs on others, this is going to fail, there are other ways to do this, but forcing us to sit throw this when we are wanting to enjoy a film is absolutely discusting.
- The more I read and listen to the argument it feels more like Tatiana is throwing a temper tantrum as she doesn't like the word no more than the ability to actually listen to what the criticism for what the problem actually is.
- Don't walk around saying your better at something just because your a female, that is the wrong attitude if you wish men to say they are better just because they are a male, the double standard doesn't fit, and really makes the feminist's cause look weak, and fraud.
So what are the issues that I have with all of this?
- Titania isn't on the same level as Ryan, Ryan has made a lot of block buster movies, and has a long standing reputation, Tatiana is a relatively new player, so, yeah , she has to earn that, and this should mean she should make an effort to be easier to get along with backstage, not hard to deal with, honestly here it is,.. Knock Knock,... Whos there? Tatiana, Tatiana who? Exactly.
- The basis for She-Hulk being created is sexist on its own, (And a man probably created her) Why, as a way to girls into reading comics, so.... (Personally I think making a girl version of Spiderman or Captain America would have been better)
- Telling the Hulk shes better at changing because shes a girl, well, that destroys your credibility right from the start.
- Deadpool's 4th wall breaks work as they are funny and come natural, when She-Hulk did it feels as if it was done just to do it so Tatiana could claim She-Hulk does them too, they are not natural, not funny and a waste, and no one is going to just give her the credit for it the way she thinks she deserves.
- No one wants to see a lawyer twirk to some unknown song, not saying I wanted to see Deadpool twirk or dance either, but as a metal head I still knew the song that was presented in Deadpool and Wolverine, and it seriously added to the film, while She-Hulk's dance? added nothing.
- Tatiana apparently trained for 2 weeks, just 2 weeks for a fight scene vs Wolverine, and it got cut because she wasn't performing up to standards, when I googled how long it takes an actor to train for a fight scene, many sites gave 6 to 8 weeks, and Tatiana gives 2 weeks, and is taking a hissy fit because it got cut? From what I understand it is more of a star who doesn't want to commit to their craft and isn't smart enough to understand why their lack of commitment got their scene deleted.
- A reported scene were She-Hulk was going to lecture Logan and Deadpool on how to be gentlemen? No one wants to see that, and Ryan would have ever right to demand it be out right removed, even from directors cuts, maybe we need Captain America to have a scene to show the She-Hulk to be a better human being.
- She-Hulk as a lawyer doesn't make her more of an intellectual than the Hulk, Bruce Banner is a nuclear scientist.
At the end of the day I think the powers to be in Disney need to sit down and get rid of a few people, Tatiana Maslany being one, Kathleen Kennedy and bring people in who care about the brands, people who care about the audience, and start to write films (Even re write She-Hulk being re written and done more appropriately could work) Ryan's formula worked, Disney's and the woke movements failed, if Disney wants to stay a float, they need to make changes, and gender and race swapping isn't going to do that for you, write new an inventive stories, stories that people want to watch stories people want to loose themselves into.
Kathleen Kennedy recently stated that she didn't make Star Wars for a certain type of fan, well, you didn't make Star Wars, and this is the attitude that I'm talking about and the attitude that is going to bankrupt Disney, when your making a movie, your making it for the fans, not you, or your politics, your making it for the fans.
If you can't make film for the fans, the audience, then you need to stop making films.
Tatiana Maslany, I don't know you , we've never met, and not likely we ever will, not likely I'll ever ask for an autograph, and I doubt shed take 2 seconds to read this, but if she would this is what I would ask of her.
Please Tatiana before lashing out at Ryan, Disney or anyone else, please take a moment and be objective and think about the things people are saying take them to heart and then work on the issues, yes your not going to be seen as Ryan Reynold's equal, you got some work to put in for that, but whos to say in 10 years you can get there? Positivity and honesty goes a long way, stop with the sexist garbage and lets get real, I'm old enough to be your father, and when I was young, the racisms sexisim and the other garbage was seen as a bad thing to, will it ever end, I wish it would but who knows, I believe in the best person for the job, not the best man, and not the best woman, the best person.
If we can't take criticism and take the time to improve our negative traits, we can never grow, and it would be so easy to to just throw Tatiana away say she sucks and that she's an idiot and just be done with her, it would be very easy, but heres the thing, we all have our bad moments, and who knows one day she could make some changes and become a better person, a better actress, and one day could be one of my favorite actresses, and be in some of my favorite films, heck maybe she would be the one to change my mind and its worth going back.
Right now, I'm just tired of her temper tantrums.
