See, I actually really liked Annihilation. It wasn't nearly as good as the book which goes into detail as to why the team is all women (the government have been testing different combinations of team members to see how Area X reacts) , which makes perfect sense in the context of the book. The problem with the film, as far as Dobson and his ilk are concern, is that the film isn't about Grrl Powah! It's just four women doing stuff like adults instead of mouthpieces for some half-baked ideology. It's not on the required reading list because it doesn't check all the boxes. It's too equal and not empowering enough. The movie is good, but gets ignored for the same reasons. (I'd still recommend it though).couple of things to unpack
-the fact they're saying it implies they do care.
-two of those three failed without the help of the white man, if they want to blame anyone blame Women.
-plenty of good movies featuring LGBT, woman or minorities have been showered in praise by the white devil, for example Moonlight or Anihilation-maybe the movies are just mediocre or bad on their own terms
-Speaking of Annihilation the fact none of these sort have either seen or it or comment on it buries their credability. I know they havnt has because no ones seen it and Dobson never watches anything for grown ups.
-whose this 'we'? a reviewer has enough to success to carry clout then clearly they have relavence to the dialogue.
-By this logic why would anyone listen to the posters about more succesful movies such as Iron man or Batman.
-Are they seriously saying they enjoyed Charlies angels? because hahahaha holy shit.
-Dobson complaining about a lack a diversity in movie critique is absurd because the movies themselves are either rehashes or repeat performances of other movies. Charlies angels is particulary bad because it's the third remake of a franchise over 30 years old.
EDIT-
It's pretty pathetic that Dobsons quoting teenagers telling tall tales because they like the attention. Although I feel bad for them because they truth is they never left wonderland, they just entered the spookey dramatic bit to distract them from the true horror of reality.
Its far far worse than you can ever imagine in being upset at lack of black people in capeshit. Far far worse.
I sort of like the early 2000s Charlie Angels but it may just be nostalgia and Lucy Liu. Would it qualify for diversity today since they replaced a white lady with an Asian lady, but nobody makes a big deal about it?
