@bdrtfm: EXACTLY what I've been saying all along!!! It happened in Spartacus when they took an untrained, 80lb waif of a slave girl and had her vanquishing well-trained gladiators three times her size!! It's happening in Fear the Walking Dead where a 100lb 50yo housewife is now a military tactician, weapons master, demolitions expert, hand-to-hand combat master, negotiator, Indian War Chief, Master Assassin, unbeatable survivor, and able to beat men twice her size with ease! And I can go on!! I'm seeing this more and more in the video games and movies coming out and it's complete bullshit!! I'm sick and tired of it all!!!! We go to movies and play video games to get AWAY from all this cultural PC bullshit!
Wanna know why these new Star Wars movies SUCK (and by new, I'm going back to the JarJar Binks days and everything after)?! Because of their not-so-hidden political agenda and political correctness!! The reason Lando/Billy Dee Williams worked is because he fit the role of a smooth scoundrel who happened to be black! The reason Mace/Samuel L Jackson DIDN'T work as a black jedi is because he was jammed into the role for social reasons! He was a black guy who was a Jedi, and not a Jedi who happened to be black. Nevermind that I couldn't BUY into his role because of his previous work on Pulp Fiction and other racist remarks he's said in the past! That's the same reason JarJar Binks was a disaster! Because Lucas (and now Disney) felt they HAD to fill cultural gaps so that everyone felt included in the Star Wars universe. Just as the "Asian" aliens did. Just like Rey/Daisy Ridley did. Just like Finn/John Boyega did! These characters were/are FORCED upon us because Lucas/Disney felt they needed to convey a message of inclusivity in the universe! I mean, what's next? LGBTQWTF aliens? A lesbian female lead? Look, I don't mind inclusivity....but it has to appear genuine and natural. Not forced by some PC liberal bitch (with the last name Kennedy, what a shock!)! That's why the original Star Wars episodes worked (that, and they weren't released every year)!! We didn't look twice at Leah being a strong woman, because they balanced her character properly. Now you have 80lb females without training killing males three times their size, despite female Jedis never being part of the original concept. I'm seeing this in the videogames that are coming out too!
I'm tired of having politics and social issues forced into every goddamned thing I do/watch/see/read. etc. ! We go to movies and play video games to get AWAY from all this PC bullshit!
@samrvdman: Brother, I CAN'T agree more! I'm just glad I'm not the only one seeing this!! I absolutely REFUSE to see the last three movies they made (four with this one)! My impression is that they're trying to force their political ideals of gender equality down our throats! I'm sorry....but I don't want to see a stronger-than-a-man female, cast into every freaking movie!! Leah was tough but she wasn't about to go around fighting males and winning every time! It's just not realistic!! i'm seeing this EVERYWHERE I go. Spartacus (the 90lb waif and former slave Navea, was seen vanquishing well-trained gladiators three times her size!). Fear the Walking Dead (Madison, a 50yo 100lb housewife, appears to know everything about everything, from guns to military tactics, to explosive ordinance deployment, to weapons management, to taking down men twice her size), and the list just keeps on going!!! I'm sorry, but it's utter bullshit!!!
Kind of annoying banter. Took 21 minutes to talk about the game for what could've taken five. The game looks good. But I liked it better when it was called "7 Days to Die".
