Has this fucking hashtag movement done ANYTHING that resulted in a net positive? Because it seems to just make all of media much worse.

Not to mention the original ending apparently would've had Elio pulling a Steven Universe and solving everything through a hug...
Harvey Weinstein going under. But even that is arguable as his court cases are still ongoing and some of his charges have been overturned. It was also used to catapult the careers of politically motivated talentless oxygen thieves into the upper echelons of Hollywood to shit up movies/TV to an unprecedented level.

“Our movie failed because we weren’t allowed to make the little boy gay” Everyone at Disney needs to be woodchipper’d.

You could show me those images without any context and they'd make me uncomfortable. What the fuck

I saw Elio and it was actually pretty good. I was surprised. I liked it more than Luca, and the beanmouth style was less jarring. Either it fit the setting/aesthetic better or it was improved. I'm really glad the gay shit got cut because that would have ruined it. Maybe I liked it because it was basically Pixar's attempt at Lilo and Stitch, which is funny because they kept the "ohana means family" ending, while the LA remake threw it in the trash. Also, rolling my eyes at the stereotypical bully being the blond white kid. And for anyone wondering about the eyepatch, Elio doesn't just randomly have it for diversity points, you see how he gets it in the movie and it actually plays a role in the plot later. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of horror in the clone's scenes. Some very little kids started crying in the theater. It reminded me of older Disney/Pixar, like Sid's toys in Toy Story or the angler fish in Finding Nemo. So I'm 
hoping this is a sign they might be willing to return to more edge and give us more stakes and interesting scenes in the future. Still, it felt like it was missing something overall, a bit empty and you could tell the film was reworked from its original vision in some way.

Hopefully this stops happening for good, because it's still happening. The latest Transformer show had an infamous scene where a bot and a little girl rant about pronouns that was cringe at best, blatant propaganda at worst.
Nope. Harvey might turn out to be not as bad as they said, and that movement has demonstrated to be an excuse for certain scum to take over, for not to mention the suffering and deaths it caused, even outside of animation. Ie: Alec Hollowka's suicide by Metoo (and then Zoe accused him of killing himself to paint her in a bad light IIRC).

Guess they're right about it originally being gay coded. That's not even coded, it's just really fucking gay.

I had to remind myself just to focus on the aspects of Hollywood here as others have given examples for, because it reminded me there’s an undercurrent of women genuinely depressed men simply will not approach them for any reason more than necessary nowadays and not just in romantic prospects.
Media-wise? In addition to what others have said, we’ve seen too many talentless and ugly hacks catapulted into leading men/lady roles they are not made for. Also hilariously, people are starting to call out Pedro Pascal’s touchy-feely-ness to fellow actresses now, but realizing the hypocrisy that because he’s not straight or white it’s “okay” - while noting men during the height of the hashtag’s movement men would be called out for far less than what he does lately.

Isn't that done already in the latest Marvel slop movie?
That guy is a tool who will be dropped and Metoo'ed the second he's no longer useful or accidentally says something based, or just common sense, and he knows it.

Strange. Is that supposed to be his clone? I wonder what the conflict of the original story was. It looks like the final showdown takes place at the military school, rather than in space. Maybe his clone goes rogue and becomes super powerful for some reason, and Elio accepting him for who he is helps him learn to accept himself for who he is (a gay)? Were Glordon and his dad even in the original movie?

If the resolution of conflict in your story is through a hug than your a fucking hack faggot, like what moral is that setting for kids to just embrace your enemies and hope they don't kill you.

It just seems like Molina wanted to make a movie about himself and used a $150 million Pixar budget to do it.

I feel like John Favreau is literally just his character from Rudy. Don’t ask me why, but I felt like that character was an extension of himself and the director realized that the best way he could use him was to let him be himself.
I feel like there is a huge social engineering push to make little boys and men the biggest faggots possible. You can’t have aggression or work out shit in a manner that usually is how men or boys do shit (physical confrontation or a friend calling you a retard).

That looks like the creators saw Future's finale and wanted to do their own. It gave me that feeling, so I checked the development dates with Wikipedo. Take this with a grain of salt, but I found even more than that.

Judging from this quote:
Director and Elio both grew up on military bases, both felt isolated, both of them go out and find their "people" (aliens and art school), yadda yadda yadda. Much like Turning Red, it's just an exorbitant therapy session paid for by Disney, only funnier because he quit before he could even get his therapy finished.
Can Hollywood please stop giving the reins to hack frauds that only care about working through their "trauma" (read: whining about people not understanding their genius) instead of creating stories that everyone can relate to?

I'm honestly kinda surprised we haven't had stories of what it's like to grow up on military bases. You'd think with the number of military brats there are that some kind of story could be told. Maybe it gets too close to being a pro/anti-military message depending on the person.

It's no different than growing up in a suburb but your friends move away after a couple of years if their parents are enlisted. Maybe after WWIII kicks off we'll see more shows and movies that are pro-military but right now that won't happen.
