Do you have any actual evidence of this apart from them not re-casting *checks notes* a) the white actor who plays the main character and pushed for that character to be given his own movies and b) the white actor who played the most popular character in the X-men movies AND the only one popular enough to have multiple spin-offs

What exactly do you mean by "celebrating whiteness and the patriarchy", or is that just something you've convinced yourself of in order to save face for funding Disney?

I think he's secretly looking for dudes, seems oddly obsessed with straight white men. Maybe he can "fix" them.

Celebrating non-diversity in a movie is homo-erotic?

I can't just be happy I don't have to suffer through yet another strong black lesbian love affair?

As a straight white male, I will stay away, because this is what I picture:

Why are you now downgrading "celebrating whiteness and the patriarchy" to "celebrating non -diversity"


I actually think Bodhy was a better poster than you

Just about everyone here thinks you're a retard.

What the hell would a non diverse movie be besides white and patriarcle?

says the guy who scored the nickname (not from me) of Bad Take Bald Brah before you hit 600 posts.

Note how you still can't answer the question(s) - how exactly does this movie celebrate "whiteness"?

I'm surprised the critic reviews have this 80% fresh.

I figured since it's celebrating whiteness and the patriarchy it would be like 20% critics.

A movie could have 100% positive but they all agree it's 7/10. Majority of the negatives are in 4-6 and the positives are 7-8 so it's not a grand slam but slightly above average.

I don't mind a diverse movie as long as it's organic. It can't be set in ancient Rome where a bunch of nogs are running the city or race swapping white historical figures. That's bullshit. Sausage fest films are not for me. Even Predator, the most bro movie ever made had at least one girl in it.

Back in the day it was accepted to have a token useless woman who just shows her tits and a token black guy that gets killed off early, while all the white guys do the heavy lifting.

If you a grown man still watching Disney movies in 2024 you really should just keep your mouth shut about DEI. You know what you’re getting at this point and you know you are part of the problem.

not to sound like Chuk or anything but they definitely ramped up the marketing on this one and yeah, it does kinda reek of desperation, like if this movie doesn't do bil+ then they are going to cancel the MCU or something, lol, maybe feige will finally get fired.

The, idk, grassroots? marketing done by Ryan with 0 budget for a 58mil production budget Deadpool 1 film, using basically just his social media presence was amazing but also you could tell it was totally authentic, hyping up a true labor of love project for him. The 2nd film, while not as noble, the marketing was just a continuation of that.

The early stuff by Ryan with the twitter posts and the wolverine popcorn bucket lids and shit was fine...it was to be expected from his style of marketing. but as this movie is getting closer to release it's clear there's a 2nd round of $200m+ marketing spending from corporate douchebags that will lose their job if this film doesn't break some records at the box office and its starting to get cringey af.

you're not sounding like me, its blatantly obvious to everyone but some people are overlooking it because they want to believe all this marketing is somehow genuine. i said this months ago. it feels like they are putting all their hopes and dreams behind this movie because the MCU is in a bad place right now. but this isnt one of those MCU megablockbusters. it's a Deadpool movie. it does 800 million because it has a niche Deadpool audience. it's not to everyone's tastes. it's not necessarily an MCU audience.,
