but It's pretty clear you can't have a normal discussion on this.

look, i understand and can appreciate your perspective and willingness to give everything a fair shot based on its merits as a stand alone piece of entertainment. that said, i dont see how anyone can ever be surprised when there is a cynical response to movies like this continuing to come out. there has been a steady stream of shitty girl boss movies coming out oh Hollywood for nearly a decade, and that is nearly indisputable. you can argue that they're shitty movies that just happen to have girl bosses or they're shitty movies BECAUSE they have girl bosses or some mix of the two, but the fact is, they are shitty, and they are legion.

then what appears, on the surface, to be yet another girl boss movie gets reported on coming out, and the usuals on this board are, in my opinion, understandably cynical about the quality and intent of the film. then like clockwork, the REST of the usuals on this board act completely shocked and offended that anyone would ever question the pure motives of the wonderful people in Hollywood just trying to make great movies.

so yeah, it is impossible to have a normal discussion on these kinds of movies. but that is not due to the "incel neckbeards". it's due to the ideologues in Hollywood who have dragged us into this reality.

downvote away.
