He loses his cool in John Q when he takes the hospital hostage. Then he tries to take his heart out to give to his dying son which imo is a pretty cool thing

White feminism is less helpful than political commentary and pisses more people off

But also the majority of people don't give a poo poo because both movies are blockbusters (and Barbie more so)

Actually, Barbie is non-woke because Barbie is named after the Butcher of Lyon.

Barbie is a very fun movie with lots of great jokes and performances, it’s a blockbuster with actual set design in the year 2023, and it’s just very well made and visually appealing. But the “social commentary” is scattershot and its core message is very muddled as a result of not wanting to be too subversive of the Barbie brand.
The big point that the movie tries to make is that women shouldn’t be saddled with expectations of being perfect and excellent at everything, they should be allowed to just be normal, flawed people. Which is a fine message but they don’t actually commit to it, at the end of the movie the status quo of Barbie’s world has barely changed aside from them being nicer to the “ugly” Barbie, otherwise it’s still a fantasy utopia where every woman is unrealistically perfect and excellent at everything.

It's interesting that Denzel really never had interest in doing big IP movies the way Tom Cruise did as that same level of star. Maybe not Marvel poo poo but even something like Mission Impossible that Cruise took over himself and created his own franchise really.

yes this is literally what happens. the movie even goes out of its way to say that the Kens still have no legal or political power whatsoever, it's very weird.

they do restore the pre-ken political regime and constitution but we don't see much of the aftermath after that
