Wonder Women "Ladies Only" Screening Brouhaha...

[dudalb]

Dozens and dozens of superhero movies, and how many major releases have featured a female superhero? I'm pretty sure that number is somewhere in the vicinity of zero. Lots of women and girls are psyched that they finally have one, and a private business decides to celebrate this with a private screening.

That's all this is.

The only ones making it "political" are the whiny MRA pussies who throw a fit when everything isn't about them all the time.

The Avengers/Captain America (The Black Widow and the Scarlet Witch)
The X Men (Rouge and several other female X Men.
Guardians of the Galaxy (Gamora)
The Wasp get equal billing with Ant Man in the upcoming "Ant Man and The Wonderful Wasp".
The upcoming Captain Marvel

Always has been, always will be.

Definently a GILF.

ANyway, the story is getting even more attention today from the media.
And the Warners publicity department is giving themselves high fives. They baited the trap and the idiots walked right into it.

Men are idiots.

You're including yourself amongst those idiots right? Your type of hypocritical self-righteous cheering-leading, as pathetically hilarious as it's been to watch unfold on this thread, is giving just as much publicity to the event and the movie as the people who are whining about it.

I can see the conversation between the fat cats at Waner now:

Fat cat 1: Our past DC movies have all sucked, let's do a women's-only event to excite America's gender war idiots into drumming up buzz whining about each other on the chance this movie sucks too.

Fat cat 2: Great idea, all those ugly fat feminists who would usually bitch about wonder woman's sexy clothing and good looks would be pandered to and their typical whining would be directed at the inevitable backlash from the usual groups of sex-less Internet basement dwellers who probably wouldn't see the movie anyway!

Fat cat 1: I love it! Now, wanna score some coke and get some underage prostitutes?

Fat cat 2: you don't have to ask me twice!!


Personally, I agree with others up thread and just hope that DC will finally produce a good film in this series!

Whoah - a business that caters to the public just infringed a protected class and you are ok with it? Selective morality much?

How was anyone infringed? These are two private screenings of a movie that will also be showing on thousands of other screens open to everyone.

The X Men (Rouge and several other female X Men.

So basically:

Women secondary characters in movies about men,
Women in ensemble movies that often focus on the male characters;
Movies that aren't even coming out until after this year.

Which was exactly the point.

Of course, it helps that Wonder Woman is one of DC's biggest names in terms of popular culture, while Black Widow and Scarlett Witch are new characters as far as most people care. And of course, quite a few people *still* wanted a Black Widow movie.

I do know a couple of people who've seen it already, and they gave rave reviews. Of course, they're also SJW snowflake libtard types, so clearly their opinions are wrong.

Chances are you're right. We'll see. I wouldn't trust World Net Daily's review of Passion of the Christ either.

 

[johnny karate]

One article I read on the subject said eight.

You have to really broaden the parameters to get there (who doesn't remember the pop culture phenomenon that was "Tank Girl"?). And even when you do, it's in contrast to hundreds of male-lead supehero movies.

Does that also apply to a couple of christian cake shops (after all, there are thousands of tolerant cake shops, right?)

It's a backwards step.

Men's Rights Activists.

Face it, men are the only minority the world can make fun of anymore.

Someone pass the tissues. Once you've dried your tears, feel free to Google the stats on women in positions of power in government and business around the world.

It's a backwards step.

The cake shops in question were denying a service to all gay people. This theater is not denying anyone a service. These butt-hurt men can see the exact same movie at the exact same theater, just not at these two private events.

Does that also apply to a couple of christian cake shops (after all, there are thousands of tolerant cake shops, right?)

It's a backwards step.

Except that there is no philosophical or religious motivation, the exclusivity lasted only as long as it took to show to movie, and it was only intended to be a one-time event (or now a couple of events).

Otherwise, sure, it's exactly like other forms of persistent, widespread discrimination.

I predict a lot of ******** and shallow appeals to "historical context" and the typical regressive gobbledegook and hand waving. They will say anything and reach for anything that can allow them to settle their cognitive dissonance.

Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. Just look at this thread, if this had been a men-only event, the same people cheering would be whining about it.

Once you remove yourself from their respective ideologies and remove the blinders, it's obvious the "progressive" and "conservatives" aren't really about th values they claim. They are simply two cultural movements trying to secure dominance for their respective groups. That's what "politics" in the US has become. Just like cons aren't trying to "protect the integrity of the voting systems" by instituting voter ID laws. Progs aren't trying to make a truly "equal" or "diverse" society by supporting neo-segregation.

Take a step back and separate yourself from these sad political factions and the whole thing becomes a lot more entertaining. These people are all turds swimming in the same dirty toilet.

Only ones I can think of (if you count based on video games & made up just for the movies) are Alice from Resident Evil & Selene from Underworld. Maybe Cat Woman, but that sucked & the character is chaotic neutral at best.

I'm just glad we're all able to keep our heads and not devolve into histrionics over something as innocuous as one movie theater hosting a couple of private screenings.

"We're"?

Who are you referring to here?

Because right now, there is virtually no group keeping their heads over innocuous happenings. Be it trannies (I wouldn't be surprised if that harmless word triggered some head-loosing on this very forum) in bathrooms, white girls dressing up as Pocahontas, red Starbucks cups, white people with black paint on their faces, black sports players not standing for the national anthem, people liking sexy butts in video games, people using the wrong gender, not "enough" super hero movies with women, and on and on and on. Everyone is loosing their heads over every innocuous event.

This country in many respects is reaching peak stupidity and there is no viable movement standing against it. The only question is how long it will take to plateau. In this environment, Trump is the president America deserves.

I think you might have posted this in the wrong thread.

This thread is about a bunch of crybabies upset that everything isn't for them all the time.

No. It's the right one.

Exactly!

Please,don't upset me by bringing up painful topics like the 2004 "Catwoman" movie...........
