Darth Vader has double his screen time and is the villian. He’s not going to have the screen time as the hero’s.
Othe Emperor is a secondary character. He’s not even the main antagonist till the last part of the third movie.

Is screentime important to how major a character is, or isn't it?
I show that Vader had little screentime, and you want to add caveats.
Seems like you are obfuscating.

The Emperor is revealed to be the main villain early in the first movie.

Important.

You showed he has twice as much screen time.

Then say Landonis as important as Han Luke Leia and Darth Vader. Say that. Don’t say “he’s a major character”
Says he’s equally as important as Luke and Han.

Sammy’s people are working hard to change that. You’re not supposed to notice. If you notice, they’ll tell you you’re wrong. If they can no longer deny that it’s happening, they’ll tell you that it’s a good thing.

He’s complaining about human women in space.
Is our country not roughly 50% human women?

Less important than the main Protagonist, sure.
Only "secondary" if everyone who isn't Luke is secondary.
You are big mad, and I am digging it. :nb4noImnot:

I don't watch them.
I cancel my streaming subscriptions.
That's how I deal with it.

Now you contend that if the series lead of a show is white male, it is a failure of representation?

Posted on 9/4/22 at 1:01 pm to SouthEasternKaiju
You forgot the part when you cry about them online
Posted on 9/4/22 at 1:03 pm to SammyTiger
Yes Sammy, I trash them online and point out their absurd canon destroying nonsense for flaccid minded normies like you.

As far as bad-arse females characters go, I'm not bothered watching a slight 120 lb female kick the crap out of five pumped up males but in the larger scheme of things I think it has become too pervasive. I think females are becoming more and more aggressive irl and movies play some part in that. This is a net negative for society. My wife and I talked about this last night, how males are being portrayed as timid, cowardly, and stupid while females are intelligent, strong, and courageous.
Heck one WOT episode had a female in active labor go Hidden Tiger, Crouching Dragon on at least 7 huge male warriors. Fantasy is just that - fantasy. It can be fun to watch. But the goal appears to be the demasculation of males. It's no longer fantasy, it's an intentional objective.

It annoys me when the break their own universe to fit in political narratives that apply to our universe.
For some reason a few things from Season 1 of Designated Survivor are popping up in my head.
1. In the re-election of congress, an absolute ton of Independents were elected (100+). This is immediately ignored and the rest of the series is typical D vs. R commentary.
2. The first piece of new legislation passed is a gun control bill. Their world has just seen all three branches of federal government decimated by a then unknown terrorist organization, and a subsequent assassination attempt. Passing a gun control act in that world would be like passing a law abolishing airport security pm 9/12/2001.
In that world even progressives are lining up to lock and load.

Sorry, I asked a question about 12 years a slave being woke. Your comment did say it was about woke movies centered around black trauma, not just black trauma.
I guess I was trying to clarify how stupid something was, but then you went and clarified that you're an a-hole (who wasn't aware of his own words).

No reason for name-calling, ya prick. And what was stupid about my statement? Am I required to watch movies made by the woke, and starring the woke? What do you find enjoyable about black trauma films? We get it, slavery is bad. No reason to carry dead people's baggage from over a hundred and fifty years ago. The same goes for revenge porn movies like Django and Inglorious Bastards. Boring, cliched films.

If it's the focus of the entire film, I probably won't watch it in the first place.
The "one woke scene ruined the movie" excuse is usually bullshite. The casino scene didn't ruin that Star Wars sequel. Mystique saying "X-Women" didn't ruin that X-Men movie. They're already shite movies, just with woke moments.
We had "woke" moments in classic films. If they were released today we'd hear bitching and moaning about "modern woke filmmakers". I don't think that anyone walked out of or turned off Jurassic Park because of Ellie's repeated feminist jabs and eye-rolling at chauvinism.
