Have you seen Charlie’s Angels?
I have seen all of them.
The Diaz, Liu & Barrymore one was much much better imo.

I agree.
The first one is a classic.

I think with those ones they tried to appeal to women & men.
The new one didn’t do that.
Do you like Commando?
Not as much as Arnie’s other movies.
I don’t hate it though.
My point is that there is nothing wrong with a gender favoured film.
Even a female favoured action film like Wonder Woman or Captain Marvel.
Mrs Wim and LMW went to see Wonder Woman at the cinema. Loved it. First Superhero film they’d been to the cinema to watch since the third Batman. I did not.
And that’s fine.
In any case, we’re drifting again.
I’m not here to argue the quality of any of those films, only whether they were victims of cancel culture.
I’m definitely not okay with the argument that, ‘they were, but they chose one of our special movies so they deserved it.’
I don’t think any art should be cancelled. I’ve always thought that.
im not sure superhero movies or reboots of dead movies from the 80s constitute art by any definition
Visual art.
No matter how it’s received.
arguable
You have to consider the former if you want to talk about the latter.
There is bad art too.
Yeah look youre not wrong.
Re cancel culture, I like it. Always seem to find that things that should have been switched off years ago are the only true victims of it. It feeds off the bottom, gets rid of waste.
I disagree.
If you’re going to trash something because omg they’re girls, and you know what…again we digress, because the trashing is only half of the original point.
The other half was whether or not conservatives get upset about PC culture.
And in the case of both those movies, they really did.
I don’t even understand how that can be debated.
Genuine question.
Why do you think the original Charlie’s Angels was a huge hit?
And why wasn’t the new one?
Honestly I think the second reboot was dead before it opened.
The second one was successful because it was cool action and it was funny.

So in your head, this is how the conversation should go?
“Yeah these movies failed because of cancel culture”
“I disagree, they failed because they were bad movies with bad acting and writing”
“I don’t want to talk about that, only if they failed because of cancel culture”
The hell?
Maybe argue with what somebody’s actually saying.
Again, there are two points being discussed here.
Okay, three.
Four.
And none of them are what you’re talking about.
Who cancels more?
Who gets ‘upset’ about pc or anti-pc more.
Are conservatives doing either a lot less as time goes on?
And I’ve forgotten the other one.
