@SirBylHolte They are trying to take masculinity out of society.
Not on my watch…!!!

In case you're not getting it yet:
Hollywood is systematically removing both the SUPER and the HERO from the superhero genre.
The subtitle of the next Spider-Man movie, “Brand New Day,” is code for “we’re no longer making real superhero movies the way you like.”
Superman (James Gunn's version): a conflicted, alienated immigrant struggling with identity politics.
Peacemaker: a crude, broken man-child whose "heroism" is mostly drugs, orgies, and daddy issues.
Hollywood is systematically removing both the SUPER and the HERO from the superhero genre.
Wonder Man: Simon Williams, once the WHITE son of a rich industrialist, now a Haitian-American actor dealing with family trauma and cultural identity crises.
Black Captain America: super-empowered to save the country but still crying about racial inequality.
Ironheart: Riri Williams is a genius inventor but still has to steal and is burdened by ILLUSIONS of systemic racism and personal grief.
Daredevil: now a depressed, guilt-ridden lawyer whose arc drowns in moral ambiguity, depression, while being overshadowed by diverse sidekicks lecturing him on privilege and anger.
Lanterns — Hal Jordan and John Stewart reduced to substitute teachers and grunt cops investigating a murder in the American heartland, while a female detective disrespects them and the black Lantern lectures the white one on doing the job better.
And now comes FAILED Spider-man: bungling, constantly falling and crashing into things, getting hit by a van…the list goes on.
These aren’t the heroes we want to see.
They’re "humanized" (read: weakened) versions designed to make today's modern (read: lowbrow) audience feel better about themselves.
The men are sad, angry, depressed, unfulfilled, incompetent, or outright toxic.
The women are corrupt, masculine, infallible girlbosses who outfight, outthink, and out-lead every man in the room.
They no longer live in their own specialized, larger-than-life worlds where they thrive as gods among mortals.
They live in OUR angry, gritty, mundane world where they FAIL, struggle, and get knocked down to our level.
No more soaring capes, no more unapologetic power, no more aspirational icons.
Just unrelatable losers with OCCASIONAL super-powers who mirror our own mediocrity and resentment.
Hollywood isn't dying.
It's killing itself.

The problem began when they tried to make the superheroes easier to empathize with by giving them incredibly mundane problems. It snowballed into what you see today. Heroes were supposed to be an ideal; a perfect representation of everything right that we could aspire to be even as normal people.
Now they’re normal people who just happen to be super pieces of shit.

I find it interesting that everyone is quick to shit on The Simpsons voice cast sounding different with age, yet hardly anyone has an issue with Cusack's Jessie voice here.

@Bl4M3TH3M0VI3S Are you just plain dumb? It was contracted by the studio, with Kevin Williamson only allowed minor dialogue rewrites. Based on your posts you’ve been mad and going to stay mad. Funny. Thank goodness it’s already surpassed Scream 6 and every film in the entire franchise $$$$. 💅🏻

@nightcrawlingxx We? You fucking loser. You’re giving Scream fans a bad name.

Scream 6 stans are way too brave we just demolished them in the box office yet they still think they can use rotten tomatoes or letterboxd scores to upset us and when it doesn't bother us they just resort to calling us racist. It's time to put them in their place.

No big announcement ... not yet.
Still. Great cause to celebrate ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is one of the greatest experiences I ever had while watching a film. I’ve had the luxury of watching it at home for the first time and seeing it on the big screen.
The greatest live action depictions of these characters to exist and it will be hard to replicate the greatness and energy these films produced.
Zack Snyder might have peaked right here because this is his Magnum opus in my opinion.
Happy 5th year Anniversary to the Snyder Cut.

@Ahmed_hassan_za There was an evacuation order before the strike as I saw on the news please don’t start another propaganda campaign against Isreal

@Variety To see Val Kilmer back on screen with his family’s blessing is incredibly moving. If this is what he wanted, then it’s a beautiful way to honor his final creative wish.
English
FIRST LOOK: Val Kilmer has been resurrected via AI to star in the new movie "As Deep as the Grave."
Kilmer was cast in the movie in 2020, five years before his death. But he was too sick amid his throat cancer battle to ever make it to set. Now an AI version of the actor is appearing in the film, with the full blessing of his daughter, Mercedes: "He always looked at emerging technologies with optimism as a tool to expand the possibilities of storytelling. This spirit is something that we are all honoring within this specific film, of which he was an integral part.”
“He was the actor I wanted to play this role,” says writer-director Coerte Voorhees. “It was very much designed around him. It drew on his Native American heritage and his ties to and love of the Southwest... His family kept saying how important they thought the movie was and that Val really wanted to be a part of this. He really thought it was important story that he wanted his name on. It was that support that gave me the confidence to say, okay let’s do this. Despite the fact some people might call it controversial, this is what Val wanted.”

@MooreWm251019 It’s apparently impossible to praise 7 without talking about 5 & 6. 7’s final act was shit by the way.
English
This 3rd act was great. Sidney didn't waste any time getting down to business after Tatum knocked Jessica down. Unlike in 6, where it took too long because of some stupid decisions. Sidney always finishes her fights quickly. #Scream7

@nightcrawlingxx When I got out of my last viewing, I also put 7 solidly in third place. It’s just so visually striking and emotionally satisfying.

5 years ago today, ‘ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE’ released worldwide on @hbomax. A global phenomenon and a movie that changed my life. One of the best DC films ever in my opinion.
A movie loved so much by fans that some to this day still push for a sequel. I would love to see that happen. While that’s not guaranteed, their passion and love for that movement perfectly represents the drive they had during the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement. Raising over $1M for AFSP and getting the film that didn’t exist, to be released.
What. A. Movie.
