Why were people so angry about Iron Fist again? Because he was white?

I read a good run of Iron Fist comics when I was more into comics so I didn't feel angry about the idea, but that show seemed to get a lot of people steamed.

Not just that he was white, but they hired some scrawny euro who had no martial arts experience leading to some pretty lovely fight scenes.

my god, matrix 4 blew rear end. i honestly don't remember much about the first matrix movie, let alone the rest of that trilogy, but i remember it at least being fun and looking cool. even the action sequences were bad in this one, just marvel-esque boredom and working around the fact that keanu is too old to carry an action movie. that's ignoring the plot which was just 90% incomprehensible exposition and character moments for what amounts to extras. i don't care about - and i had to look up their names - sati, sequoia, sheperd, berg, lexy, bugs or any of those central casting losers.

why would a scene where you fire bullets at a guy whose main deal it has been established is stopping bullets be in any way suspenseful??? why were there cutesy robot sidekicks?

The only actually decent things the "metaverse" can do are AR poo poo that augment jobs and make them less annoying/give you more control and clarity--and that's definitely not VR meeting rooms or whatever bullshit metas peddling.

I thought Barbie was way too on the nose toward the end when the characters started monologuing and explaining all of the movie's metaphors, but I'm seeing a lot of praise online for how those monologues were powerful, so I guess people can still appreciate terrible delivery if they like what it's saying.

I do a lot of entertainment & media focus group type testing for my job and you're vastly overestimating peoples ability to comprehend media. If your message is not spelled out it's gonna go over their heads 9 times out of 10.

People really just shut their brains off when they watch videos on screens--and for something like barbie people arent going in expecting much theoretical discourse.

Thanks, it's nice to get confirmation from a professional that I am actually really smart.

That you bother to read shitposts on a dying leftist subforum puts you higher than you think in the "reading to inform myself and understand this world" category. Most people just want to eat, gently caress and watch TV.

Downside is that for every poster on a dying leftist subforum there are 3 to 5 on thriving far right forums.

Blue Eyed Samurai was too all over the place for me. it never picked a tonal lane and the writing/direction wasn't strong enough to justify the unevenness.

At first, you get this exploration of Japanese geopolitical history not well-known by Americans and the interplay of race and gender within it. But then you have all the actors speaking very contemporary American English and have goofy slapstick superpower fights. I was excited to see them build up the Wolverine Clan but that she could move on in the story without fighting all of them and then end up flopping into a half hour fight sequence anyway.

Even in the puppet show episode people highlight for good storytelling, the creators don't have enough faith in their audience. They couldn't decide between showing or telling and settled on cutting between the puppet show telling Mizu's backstory and then just showing that part of Mizu's backstory.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that Netflix execs were severely meddling with the show. The needledrops in episodes 1 and 5 were pretty grating and reek of an EP going "just make it Kill Bill".
