No amount of Christopher Nolan being a good director is going to pull this film out of the shitter. This is going to bomb as bad as snow white.

Because you guys don’t understand capitalism: you target markets that studies show have increased earnings potential or may be a profitable audience for your product and hope it translates into profits
Do you mean to tell me, truthfully, that real studies (not ones propped up by DEI analysts) indicated that targeting less than 1% of the population (trannies) was a smart decision in terms of capitalism? That alienating the vast majority of the superhero audience by trying to make it about gurl power was the best move for capitalism? That making every family mixed race was the best way to make more money?

Or maybe, just maybe, they are worried about that stupid diversity quotient score thing (I can't remember the name, but it exists)? Fuck, we've already brought up the "can't win an Oscar without diversity" new rule in this very thread.

I'm sure you'll point to the part about trying to capture a new market and thus make more money, but would a real study actually show that pissing off white people to gain only a percentage of black money is a favorable trade-off? That pissing off "cis" people to gain the tiny amount of trans people (who don't buy the shit anyway) is a money-making idea?

This is literally the inverse of capitalism. If it were purely driven by capitalism, every piece of media would look vastly different. Unfortunately, soon that means it would be all Indians. But until then, it definitely wouldn't be all blacks and gays and trannies.

I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong, but this movie is destined to fail. Ellen Page playing the greatest fighter in greek mythology is so f'n retarded that it won't even be socially acceptable to point and laugh at it.

This movie as a gif....

I don't know why everyone is more mad about Ellen Page playing Achilles when fucking Lupita Nyong’o is playing Helen of Troy AND Clytemnestra who is only a half-sister so it's not like they'd have looked much alike.

i'm guessing the minority characters are gonna barely be in the movie and it'll be 90% Matt Damon (Odysseus), Spiderman (Telemachus), Batman (O's rival and wife chaser), and Anne Hathaway (O's wife).

i think ellen page is elpenor, a warrior on O's team who falls overboard and later meets him in Hades, probably lecturing him about the patriarchy or LGBT issues in hell or something

There is zero chance this is a "masterpiece".
Unless, of course, you're scoring it on how badly someone can disrespect and destroy a cultural juggernaut. In which case it has already succeeded. This will get zero dollars out of me, but plenty of the ridicule and disdain it deserves.

Yeah - whoever said we don’t understand capitalism is gonna have to defend that assertion with this piece of shit.

With Ellen Page, Zendaya, Travis Scott, and whatever that ugly black chicks name is, there is zero chance I ever watch this piece of garbage.

Not like Matt Damon, Tom Holland, or Anne Hatheway have ever had memorable performances. Maybe when Hathaway was 20 in that titty flick. Damon is really only famous for being Ben Afflecks side piece on the down low.
