lol. I knew this too I just thought you guys had no problem with it by your silence. lol.
Like I said I don't have a problem with it. It's how fast and WILLING they are to go for it when they have always been so reluctant any time else when it comes to them including black men in their diverse films. They have rarely been so quick and motivated to campaign black men in prominent roles in film and television any other time.

That's exactly what happened. They fucked badly by giving Robbie creative control over this movie.
She totally screwed up Harley Quinn's look because of some bullshit about wanting to "deconstruct the male gaze."
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/how-birds-prey-deconstructs-male-gaze-1277232
This is coming from a woman who deliberately requested to go nude in Wolf of Wallstreet for greater effect in the scenes.
For the life of me, I will never understand these Hollywood idiots screwing up established franchises in order to make half-assed political statements.
They also fucked up by making it R-rated, so a lot of teens couldn't go, and the pissed off people who care about the source material.
Casting was terrible. There was no Barbara Gordon/Oracle. They ruined Cassandra Cain's character by making her a kid who can't even fight. There was no reason whatsoever for 60 year old Rosie Perez to be in a movie like this.
...and the entire premise was ridiculous because it didn't even make any sense whatsoever for Harley Quinn to be teamed up with BoP.
Hollywood is investor-driven. There's going to be a forced market correction at some point. In the past year alone, Charlie's Angels, Terminator Dark Fate and BoP were major failures that went out of their way to cater to this non-existent, uber feminist audience. There's also the failure of the "the force is female" incarnation of Star Wars.
At some point, they're going to get the message that they can't keep insulting the audience and have to produce what people want to see.

I don't get it. When was Harley Quinn ever on the list of comic book characters that male fans found sexually attractive in a way that could be considered a "male gaze". I mean she wasn't even that way in Suicide Squad. They just made shit up. lol.
I seen it yesterday and I don't agree it was as terrible as folks made it out to be but it was really bad. It made Suicide Squad look like a classic! I mean the plot made absolutely no sense. They tried to make it a male versus female movie. Even with the Colonizer line in BP Marvel didn't try to make it a black vs white movie to appease all those "woke" black people going to see it.
And I did not like what they did what The Huntress character. One of my favorites and they made her very cheap.
But again it must be pointed out that the audience is mostly male that STILL made up the majority of this film and I'am willing to bet also made up the majority of Terminator: Dark Fate. So can't blame men(even though they will and are).

The visual effects are rather impressive for a tv-show, unfortunately, the writing on the show leaves a lot to be desired. It's like the writers of the show never watched TNG at all, the amount of contradictions to previous lore is substantial.
For example......
- Television as a means of entertainment and information was supposed to have ended in the early 21st century (about now in the current timeline) Yet news networks and the old tropes of having TV's in store windows are still a thing.
- Money and status through ownership of private property (homes, vehicles, businesses, etc.) is not supposed to exist on Earth anymore, yet in episode 2 Picards old first officer is giving him grief about the fact that he lives in a palatial villa and she can only afford to live in a Star Trek version of a trailer home, there is also a scene with a bunch of blue-collar maintenance workers who are griping about working on a holiday and eating shitty food (if there is no money why would anybody work a shitty blue-collar job?).
- Humanity is supposed to have evolved past base-vices yet Picard's old first officer smokes some kind of space-weed out of a space-vape pen.
- Star Trek had an acclaimed episode about the dodgy morality of creating artificial life to act as a "slave" force yet that's exactly what the federation does with its new synthetic people.
- The show keeps acting as if Picard and Data were super-close best friends, but anyone who watched the show regularly knows at best they had a mentor/mentoree relationship.

Gotta disagree these ghouls love their money more than life it self. They're listening to some expert who points to social media trends as reasons to keep investing in these flops. They all think theyre one hit away from making a string of hits. They were right when it came to female lead properties like Hunger Games Twilight and even Divergent to some degree. Female lead but without the heavy male bashing undertones.
Oh goddamn. I missed this.
As per fucking usual, they shove this shit onto a Black male character.
Brothers never got anywhere near women in any of the other MCU movies, but they can't wait to make a brother gay.
These motherfuckers won't shut up about "representation." They do realize that the vast majority of Black men are straight and "cis-gendered," right?
This is why I can't fucking stand these fake woke SJW types. They only care about tokenization and superficial representation.
I really have no hope for the MCU in phase 4 and 5. Now that Kevin Feige has full creative control, it seems like he's going to fuck this shit up for his agenda. Trying to replace Iron Man with Captain Marvel as the new lead character in the MCU is going to be suicide.

Wait is that the plan? No thanks. Just like the rumor to replace Tchalla with Shuri. Again I say let them have it. I'll watch what brought me joy as the franchise flops.
