This coming from a simp for rainbow capitalism is unironically hilarious.

I remember they milked the hell out of Rise of Skywalker having a lesbian kiss in the film and in the final product it’s a blink and you miss it little peck in the background. Which I’m pretty sure was easily edited out in international releases.

That really Owl’s my House

I legitimately laughed out loud in the theater when Rose basically told the gang that she couldn't go play with them because she had homework to do. One of (if not her only) lines in the movie is just to instantly shelve her, it's wild lol

Disney Star Wars can go 2 Hell!

Uhmmm… you are complaining? What happened to all the white guys in the sequels? Evil, old or dead at the end. Or a combination of those. Yes, Rey is white but she is a woman and when I watch Star Wars I want to root for white male hero. That the sequel trilogy wasn’t about Luke’s son becoming a Jedi was total BS.

@@CaptainHindsight-xt9yd "when I watch Star Wars I want to root for white male hero." Boo hoo, you only got 6 movies, and multiple spin-off shows 😢 Keep whining about how everything needs to cater to sensitive ass white men who can't handle seeing anyone else in a leading role though 👍

I'd love for you to name a show that focuses on its diversity.

@@Peasham I gave you a direct example.

@@HalfTangible You gave an example of something not focusing on diversity. A literal blink and you'll miss it moment that was tailor made to be edited out is the opposite of a piece of media focusing on diversity.

@@Peasham Which is one of the problems I highlighted, but go ahead and pretend that we haven't been seeing a thousand projects that push their diversity as the main selling point. Madame Web gets a mention here, too.

@@HalfTangible It's not a problem you highlighted, you specifically cited this as an example of media that parades and focuses on its diversity. Madame Webb, however, never once focuses on its diversity. Please, I would like media that actually focuses on its diversity within the text of the work.

Except that's not actually sensible representation, as black people weren't in Jerusalem at the time. They were, however, in Europe, as around that time the Maurs has control over what would in the future be known as Spain.

@@Peasham Fair observation, even if the character is, so to speak, equated to a Muslim like the others. It is true that Freeman is an African-American actor and not, for example, Moroccan or Turkish, but given his role, we could consider him as a representative of Muslim warriors. At least, it always seemed that way to me, maybe I'm wrong.

@@Toshiro93 I'm not so much complaining about Freeman playing the character as much as I'm pointing out that it would've actually been historically accurate and organic had he, or any other black person, just been in Europe in general, cuz there's a huge stink whenever a black person is depicted within a medieval setting (even if it's completely fictionalized) despite the fact that they were there throughout Europe's history lol

@@Peasham ok.

I’ve been secretly spying on you that’s how I knew 😂 I have yet to finish this season but if it’s good like you say it is, I should make a video on it

So you hate the MCU Nick Fury, right? .. right?

I can't believe Alien had none of those things as it marketed itself through its strong female lead.

@@PeashamYes, it marketed its strong CHARACTERS (it also heavily marketed the mysterious alien monster - that's what I remember about the movie commercials). The marketing for Alien wasn't "Finally a sci-fi movie with a female lead that isn't a Barbarella style sexploitation movie!"

@@liljenborg2517 Alien was literally a cultural phenomenon due to the strength of its female lead to the point where Aliens centered itself around Ripley being a woman and a mother, her outperforming trained men in areas she wasn't trained in. No, Alien and the franchise in general was marketed with Ripley's identity.

@@PeashamI don't know how old you are. I remember when Alien came out. It was not a "cultural phenomena". It was a horror movie that most people didn't know about because back in 1979, Rated R still meant something. That an R-rated movie did as well as Alien did is impressive. It was sold as being reminiscent of old 60s sci-fi horror movies (like It Came From Outer Space) but with the gritty, lived-in "realism" of Star Wars. Me and my friends wouldn't hear of the movie until the Alien toys hit toy shelves (and the ONLY toys were of the Alien, not Ripley or any of the other crew). More people cared a lot more about the first Superman movie and Rocky finally beating Apollo in the second Rocky movie. Even Star Trek the Motion Sickness beat it out at the box office. That's why it would be seven years before Cameron (flush with money from The Terminator) could make a sequel. Aliens was much, much more of a cultural phenomenon with a much broader impact. Yes, it WAS centered around an AMAZING character. That's why I said "When you have great characters, you market the _characters."_ And they marketed the snot out of Ripley and Newt's relationship and the dichotomy of Ripley playing mom to Newt vs. the Queen being mom to her brood. Movies "for the modern audience" like Marvels AREN'T marketed like that. NONE of the advertising for Marvels showed important CHARACTER moments for ANY of the characters. A few show Aman Vellani grinning at how cool it was to be in a Marvel movie. None of the interviews with Brie Larson, Zawe Ashton, or young Miss Velani were about the CHARACTERS of Carol Danvers, or Monica Rambeau. And only a little about Kamala Kahn and her family. Unlike Ripley and Newt, the marketing didn't mention much at all about Captain Marvel, Photon, or Ms Marvel's relationships with one another. (because they didn't have much of a relationship in the movie) They were all "Grrrl Power! Finally Girls get a turn! Look! One of them is BLACK! One of them is ASIAN! The Director is BLACK!! Aaand! They're ALL women!!!" That's not marketing the characters. That's not marketing the story. Why? Because they don't have a good story or strong characters to sell to the audience. (And there was a good story there, if they'd had a good writer and a more experienced director to tell it.) All they have is "diversity" and "If you don't like this movie, you must be racist and sexist!"

@@liljenborg2517 I'm glad you've admitted that Ripley was paraded around for her identity.

I was actually talking about religion as alternative lifestyles

@@TheFirstOkiro Ok, it’s just that most people will assume you were talking about queer people as the media has historically labelled us as leading “alternative lifestyles”.

This is off topic to the video itself, but I’m queer and I kind of like the term? I get why a lot of queer people don’t, especially since that term has been used to describe us by a lot of queer phobic people to perpetuate heteronormativity, like you said. Personally though I think it’s an okay term, maybe not to describe lgbtq+ people as a whole, but to describe queer and like queer-adjacent people who live lifestyles that are alternative to the cisheteronormative, allonormative, monogamous norm, and thus face negative societal and systematic ramifications for that. Like I wouldn’t say that a monogamous gay couple with 2.5 kids and a dog are living an “alternative lifestyle”, but I think a lot of queer people do live alternatively to the norm, and it also includes ppl who aren’t necessarily queer but also don’t fit the norm, like polyamorous ppl or ppl who are single for life. (And of course there are lots of ppl who are in these communities and are queer, and who these identities intersect.) Idk that’s my two cents, I get why a lot of ppl don’t like it.

Surely you are vehemently opposed to every medieval movie featuring no black people despite them having controlled the area which would later be known as Spain for centuries, surely.

@@Peasham are you referring to the cast or extras? if you want authenticity then race color and gender should be correct. but I can understand if that's not completely posable depending on where its filmed and who is willing to be an actor or extra. Or movies about o let's say Jesus, Jesus was never actually white, Jewish.. defiantly yes based on the country and its environment there is a big possibility that he would have a dark color because of the constant sunlight. or let's say the English royal family not until recently was a member been non white/ black.

@@darkhart1275 I'm talking about people in general. There were tons of black people in medieval Europe yet there are barely any in medieval media with staunch backlash if any are present, despite their presence being entirely historically accurate and it actually being inaccurate for medieval movies to not include them. I do appreciate how understanding you are when characters are whitewashed though, that's extremely funny.

@@Peasham it's hollywood the "new" hollywood is just as bad as the old hollywood they just ran to the totally opposite side of the spectrum making the same mistakes in a different way.
