>In the aftermath of the opening weekend on the female-led film: "What I was most disappointed in was this idea that perhaps it proved that we weren’t ready for this yet."

>we weren’t ready for this yet."
A superhero movie with women? It could make bank.

Why can't these people just own up to making a shit movie?

>No, the movie wasn't shitty
>it's MEN's fault it bombed
Sasuga.

The funniest thing is that more men watched it than women, so what gives?

I find septum nose rings gross and this movie was hard to watch because of it

>we weren’t ready for this yet
Feminist bullshit will never find a large audience.

lmfao you asking a woman to admit she's wrong lmfao okay senpai

>in this case the audience who didn't watch my propaganda is wrong and should be punished by my next film.
fail up faggots

I feel the casting could have been better like Rosie Perez is old and gross and the you need sexy women to fill the seats in comic book movies

Because women never take responsibility for their mistakes, where have you been? That's why women should never be given any form of autority or leadership. They have no concept of responsibility. It's a recipe for disaster when someone can do whatever he wants without suffering the consequences. Kathleen Kennedy is still CEO of Lucasfilm despite driving the company into complete bankrupt. Right now they're only making novels, very low budget cgi cartoons and one very low budget TV show.

People like this just make it harder for legitimate female filmmakers

>The funniest thing is that more men watched it than women, so what gives?
These aren't men. This is the audience Hollywood producers believe is granted. But that audience has been reduced to the most pathetic nerdboys who would watch literally anything related to comic books.

Yep.
The main difference between this turd and WW is that I doubt that anyone went to Patty Jenkins and told her that even though everyone wanted X, Gald Gadot wanted Y so they should've done Y. Which is what Margot did and admitted that.

Also, Jenkins isn't as insufferable as Cathy Yan.

>t. Weeb

Yan is a newbie compared to Jenkins though, so I bet WB didn’t let her have as much of a say as Margot/another executive

>People like this just make it harder for legitimate female filmmakers
I would think it would encourage female filmmakers to do better because now they now see that audiences don't like this preachy bullshit, but hey what do I know. If they want to do the same thing over and over again, that's their loss.

But do they even exist? As a matter of fact do you see women criticizing these diversity hires as being forced just based on their gender? No, they just want this to be generalized in every workplace. women don't give a shit, they have no shame. I've never seen a woman actually complain about affirmative action for women.

I just wanted to look at tits and ass and this movie had none

kek

>Yan is a newbie compared to Jenkins though
Jenkins has barely done anything except an oscar baiting violent lesbian flick with the classic meme "let's take a hot woman and make her ugly"
Jenkins just had less creative input in WW, it's a studio film, it looks like it was made by Znyder and they just slapped Jenkins name on it to make a politcial statement. BoP wente full retard by making it an all female movie front and center by hiring women in all aspects of the film, script, direction, costumes etc... This is what an a feminist film looks like.

Don't use a bunch of ugly nobodies for your literally who ip

yeah im disappointed they aren't all naked and scissoring

BOP wasn't even a movie about the actual Birds of Prey. It was Harley Quinn (or at least, Margot's version of Harley) plus a bunch of literal whos who had nothing in common with the characters they were supposed to be.

>someone can do whatever he wants without suffering the consequences
Nassim Taleb in his book Skin In The Game calls this concept "symmetry"... the idea that missteps have highly personal consequences as well as the normal successes having personal profit. Or else it starts to look like you are fucking things up deliberately knowing a bailout is always coming.

A staple of modern law is that (the chance of) justice must be fair and the process must be SEEN to be fair. We don't see or get fairness with forced diversity as it's a revenge fantasy capitulation.

Ready for what?

Women like 50 shades of grey not this feminist shit.

How do you know this? Are they giving men and females different tickets at the theatres now? Did more men review the movie than women? Sounds like you are spouting bullshit.

All you watch is feminist bullshit.

ill watch her shitty movie if she lets me fuck

As a black nigga I have this latent hatred for white women because they're the only ones that benefit from this diversity bullshit. I can write better stories than all these blue haired pansexual bitches named Hannah.

> taleb

They did a survey.

>we weren’t ready for this yet
yea learn how to do a proper movie first

How is it possible that every movie directed by female director is a complete shit? I honestly don't get it, is female way of thinking really unfit for this?

The bomb disposal film was decent

Feminism was invented by jews at the begining of the century to put women in the workplace, but they only kept "female jobs". After the civil rights movement in the 60s, white men realized that they will have to compete with blacks in the workplace and those blacks will acquire wealth and politcial power. That's why they invented the second wave of feminism by 'liberating women' as if they had been enslaved. They let women in the workplace take "men jobs" that should have gone to blacks. White feminism was only to undermine black men. White men though white women would be grateful for keeping white supremacy going. But it had an unexpected effect, those empowered white women aren't grateful or loyal, they don't feel like they have to preserve white supremacy, they just want more power to women and white men right now found themselves discriminated in favor of women. White men are now the niggers of white women. maybe there is a justice.

Frozen was good though.

A nigga jealous of white people even when he gets more pity gibs than any other person on earth, how shocking.

Is this a fucking sarcasm or what?

>no cute redhead batgirl
DROPPED

I wouldn't go that far. Mary Harron is great.

This

Women suck at pretty uch everything, it's just that when they're movie directors it's very apparent. Like it's difficult to know how shit a woman is at her job if she's working in advertisement, communication or law. How do you evaluate her unless you've examined her work? But you can't cheat with movies, it's either good or bad and everybody knows it.

>we're not ready for a superhero team-up action comedy
Bitch we're sick to death of them

My nigga

Black people have such a self obsessed Imma victim view of everything. You think women were pushed into the workplace to displace black men? Are you high? Blacks only make 13 % of the population to begin with, even less back then. White feminism is the ONLY reason you have your gibs and everyone else is pushed to second class citizen status to begin with, you should be thanking these white women for betraying their own kind. They know white women would be dumb enough to feel sorry for negros and fall for the civil rights marxist garbage and vote in Democrats and their agendas. They even admit they target white women for black agendas because white men aren't stupid enough to fall for it.

>WW makes nearly a billion 2 years ago
>"we just arent ready for a female driven superhero movie"
ITS NOT MY FAULT
ITS THE AUDIENCES WHO ARE WRONG

we were busy being ready for sonic

Maybe they should have marketed to everyone instead of just feminists and woke Twitter. Also goddamn the time for a HQ movie was 2 years ago when she was red hot not 2020.

>As a non religious right wing jew I have this latent hatred for schizophrenic liberal jewish men and women because they're the only ones that benefit from this diversity bullshit. I can write better stories than all these blue haired pansexual bitches named Hannah.
fixed

It being a female film had absolutely nothing to do with it. It looks boring as shit, and is a spin-off of the extremely shitty Suicide Squad.

Exactly right, but as long as there's a victim card to be played, then they're gonna play it.

That's what Kathleen Kennedy and her supporters said to rationalize TLJ's week-2 collapse.

>not ready
But Wonder Woman made a huge box office

> lot of people — especially a lot of women and younger people — really felt like their voices, their type of people, they themselves… were represented for the first time on the big screen.
No they fucking didn't. I'm convinced this woman isn't even a feminist, this is just such a blatant lie. she's totally aware that she's just cashing on representation narratives rather than actually doing anything progressive

SS did good, though, because it appealead to a large demo. This one was literally tailor-made for the Twitter woke crowd, and we know they don't go to the movies or buy anything.

WW was shit as well. I didn't even see it, webms posted here was enough to make an opinion.

I believe it. They've completely brainwashed themselves.
