That whole exchange blows the whole "posters making shows political" angle out of the water

It goes both ways, though

The anti-wokes went from recognizing woke, to calling everything woke.

I have woke fatigue

But also anti-woke fatigue

I knew that episode was going to be not well liked. I find it heavy handed with the "black in America" stuff. Like yeah we get it. Times were hard and shite. We know. I don't want it in my scifi or superhero movies.

Yeah, times were hard back in the '90s for black people. Remember those shows that shite all over black folks, with The Cosby Show and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air? White people hated black people so much that those sitcoms were the most popular shows on television. Then there was A Different World, Family Matters, Martin, Living Single, In Living Color, Moesha, Kenan and Kel, etc., etc. Whatever happened to the girl who played the little sister on the last one? That's right, she grew up and had to tell us and the space people just how racist the '90s were.

The odyssey's casting was 100% woke retardism, that isn't a question. black helen and trans character insertion for no reason.

black captain america casting is 100% woke. Never watched it but are you just ignoring the "do better senator" cringe line?
quote:

"You've got to change the room, Senator. Stop drafting mandates for people you refuse to look in the eye. Reopen the borders, halt the forced relocations, and put the displaced at the table while you still have a desk left to sit at. Because if you keep treating refugees like statistics, the next Karli won't just fight back—the whole world will help her. You have the power to feed millions with a phone call. Use it to build homes, not more walls. That’s how you do better."

oh yeah nothing woke about the black man scolding the white senator over refugees

animal farm
again, did not see this one but it was widely reported the source material was changed from critique of communism to capitalism/corporate greed. pegging the woke meter

you're failing pretty badly at this already

Even Andor had the very on the nose "no human is illegal" story

I posted an article awhile back where it was either the director or a showrunner confirmed the whole thing is about Trump. A couple people insisted it wasn't even after I showed the proof

There is so much thinly veiled racism in all the criticism in this thread. Just stop watching the show if it bothers you so much. Damn.

Oh, no, not thinly-veiled racism. You should be specific about what you're talking about and who said it.

lol it's so funny to watch yet another thread where posters are chastised for predicting a show to be a political woke shitshow only for the show to turn out, as usual, to be a political woke shitshow.

it was obvious as hell on this one too. did anyone truly believe that a show with a black protagonist in 2026 could avoid going in this direction?

Would you describe these vague accusations of racism as thinly-veiled? We should all know who the racists are so we can shame them. That phrase reminded me of a song, actually. No connection to this thread, just a song.

But they don't. I'm not saying they're batting 1.000 but most shows don't involve those criticisms. If everything was considered woke we'd be talking about the woke Boroughs and woke Widow's Bay and woke Mission Impossible. Most shows steer clear of that stuff.

Ok I watched E3 and the "privileged white man bad" shite is exhausting. Hopefully that goes away as this was just a backstory.

But it was so dumb.

Which one are you? The type who takes on the victimization of generations past to cloak yourself in it while claiming to be noble for somehow weathering whatever they had to endure or are you the type who is so desperate for meaning in your life that you seek out groups to knight for even if you have to exaggerate them into needing you?

This place is weird. People bitching about bringing politics into something even when the show makes it a point to bring up BS that doesn't support/improve the storyline.

I know people just want to watch a show and not get political but Hollywood is cramming it down your throat and some of you are actually defending this shite.
