Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
What sucks is that she is supposed to be in the lead role in the upcoming Alien: Romulus movie. Looks like she's yet another one that's going to appear in all the Disney movies.
I seriously wonder if Disney just enjoys destroying franchises that were mainly and primarily enjoyed by men in the past.

Heh, that thread was actually started by me. It's pretty much the unofficial OT thread. Pretty crazy.

Yeah i am not seeing any more movies with her thats for sure.
Ford was okay, the least of this movies problems. That script though

I'm retarded?
Ill watch it when it hits Disney+ cuz I need to rewatch the whole things. Nostalgia can be a bit of a bitch and people might remember the og's much better than they actually were like Temple of Doom being kinda meh, but it's been like 10 or so many years since I've seen them

I heard some people say they liked it. But didn't this movie bomb at the box office? A lesser known movie about child trafficking made more money.

I wished they made a movie about indy finding and then exploring a lost kingdom, like Agartha or something.

Agartha: A Culture at the Center of the Earth - Historic Mysteries
We humans have been driven to explore throughout our history, but we have not always looked up. Ancient legends tell of Agartha, at the center of the Earth.

The writing is so awful for her and her young friend (but especially for her). From minute one she is responsible for pretty much everything that goes wrong for Indy, and double so for his friends and also innocent bystanders.
I guess the little guy is a reference to (or a lazy and bad copy of) Short Round? They completely botched it by progressively raising the silliness and "cartoon-iness" of what that guy was capable of.
Indy is just old. (But still tries to do Indy stuff and inconsistently succeeds and fails as the bad script wants him to).
How many times do you think they re-wrote this thing? Did they want to explore the Indiana Jones as a woman but not really a replacement angle that bad?

I get not liking phoebe wallers character (I think that was the point for most of the movie) but saying crystal skull is better?
Dial gets extra credit for what happens to Mutt's character. At least we can all agree that was a good plot point?

Mutt was better than that terrible woke woman

Hard disagree. Swinging in trees like Tarzan disqualifies him

Dial being super woke movie disqualifies it even more.

This is like arguing if you'd rather be shot or stabbed.

Yay. Another Ripley rip-off.
Ripley was a great character, but after Alien Resurrection every Alien movie has tried to copy Ripley. It's become a trope that an Alien film needs to have a strong female lead. The only problem is none so far have come close to Ripley.

The sad thing is that an Indiana jones movie was at best
Just average
And that’s just disappointing
At least crystal skull tried ‘things’

The whole anti woke movement is becoming more woke than the original creators of woke. The anti woke outrage comes off more whiney and more easily triggered than the OGs woketers themselves.Woke this woke that. Everyone and everything’s woke nowadays. It’s getting lazy now. Break down your arguments and criticisms without labeling every damn thing you don’t like as woke.
Wake up and see the irony!

Hell…even the crystal skull one was Garbo, and that was years ago. I figured this would be trash. I wish producers would realize we want new shit in movies and shows. It’s getting really old seeing forced sequels and shit remakes.
Sigourney Is a one of a kind.

I mean, even Ridley Scott himself is guilty of this, with his abysmal Prometheus/Covenant films.

You don't have to diminish men in order to lift up women. You also don't have to make women unlikable or unattractive or unfeminine for them to be strong. "Woke" means a lot of things, but in this particular instance, I think that's the actual argument and criticism.
