Unsurprising

It was apparently made to be a misandrist, feminist power fantasy. The Director says she wanted to avoid playing to the male gaze, so they made even Red's signature armor unflattering, and she immediately gets rid of it after being forced to wear it (obviously by a man because lefties hate sexy women. . Just look at the downvotes this post will get)

I remember, a lot of the dimension films from the 80s.
They were all pretty terrible, but funny.

Since when are sword and sorcery movies not made for the male gaze? That's the primary audience. We've all read Heavy Metal magazine, right?

Oh, I see. None of this is supposed to make sense, it's some twisted personal tranny shite disguised as a lousy movie. It will fail miserably, of course, and it will be our fault.

I never said the overt political nonsense is why it is bad.

However, you appear to think that overt leftist politicization is the only thing about bad movies we shouldn't criticize.

So I am guessing this is a bit of projection, on your part

Either that or he’s saying it doesn’t exist at all which is kind of wild

I think this movie will fail because they used a low rate trans director and desexualized an explicitly sexual character.

I’m not screaming “WOOOOKKKKEE!!’ But that’s why it will fail plain and simple.

I don't think a tranny director is why it will fail.

I think the tranny director's inability to understand and faithfully depict the property is a big reason why it will fail.

So the remake of a shitty box office flop will be a shitty box office flop 40 years removed from people actually caring about the property.

Had they leaned into the core audience, they may have made some headway

If we're going by Rotten Tomatoes the remake of the movie is twice as good as the original. The cartoons with giant boobs never goes away.

Let's be realistic. You are going to have trouble finding a girl who looks like the first picture.

Yea, that’s definitely true, but they could have done better.

Ultimately, the big thing here is that a show like this COULD be good if done right.

You need to play up the sexiness angle though, while also having a strong female protagonist.

Those concepts aren’t mutually exclusive, a fact which is lost on feminists.

If they just hired Nikki Benz to be Red Sonja it would be 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

Reaching for a win, I guess?



First movie sucked, bad. Not sure what your point is. . .

This new one is going straight to video. It might do ok on VOD for a few weeks then end up getting dumped on tubi. I doubt netflix or Amazon will have any interest in this. Could still turn a profit due to small budget.

Making these kind of movies is literally as easy as marketing beer and our ad and entertainment morons still frick it up. Just go to any big city strip bar. Ask the three hottest broads with the biggest tits if any of them played volleyball or softball in high school (so you know they have a modicum of athletic ability to swing a sword). We know from their pole routines they can handle some light stunt work. As far as acting ability, every stripper can make an overweight insurance salesman with a receding hairline think he's Robert Redford. That's better than Meryl Streep can do. Add an extremely revealing costume - only exceeded by its impracticality - and you've got a low budget winner*.








*BTW, my movie idea runs circles around OML's Superman bullshite
