It's not about them being woke or not, it's about their libraries largely sucking. Like try to find something released before 1990 on any of them.

We are moving towards a situation where if you don't still have your physical media of certain films, it will become 100% impossible to see them.

You just can't admit that Woke has anything to do with it. It's like a mental block. You are so enamoured with Woke politics you can't admit they fail.

We've learned nothing from the 20th century. There's been 50+ communist republics. All of them failed. Most of them had mass killings, but philophers like Sartre could never admit they failed. Never.

Netflix is a woke temple. Many people say that, but you can't admit it had any role in it...

The Witcher is a great example. Beloved franchise. But the showrunner (who's woke af) decided to tweak the story, gender swap, race swap, make it all about identity politics.

I forced myself to watch it (and I even didn't mind the swaps at first), but when writers are obsessed with identity politics over good story telling, then these shows fail.

You can add as much "trans non-binary whatever" as you want, it won't help the show. I can even say that it will sink it.

I have never watched a Netflix show and gone "this is so woke". I have often times thought "this is so bad".

I guess I just don't see every single thing through that prism. 🤷‍♂️

I thought season two was slightly better and more coherent than season one.

But none of these wannabe GoT shows have been great. And I don't expect Prime's LotR show to be either. They are all trying to capture lighting in a bottle when even HBO doesn't appear to be able to do it twice.

Sure, because it seems you agree with Woke. For you, it's just a natural thing to gender swap or race swap roles. You think that males have privileges and it's OK to punish them for it. That's your creed, so of course you can't criticize it. Like you can't criticize CRT. Like Sartre couldn't criticize his Muscovite friends.

But you're a smart guy, so I'm sure that one day (I don't know when) you'll realize that this woke mess is not only divisive, but also a promoter of bad creativity.

Poor quality and wokeness go hand in hand, because one feeds the other.

Prime's LotR is another woke show. It's another gender swap / race swap mess.

Punishing people for their skin color or gender is these people's creed. And lots of viewers hate it.

One of the "The Northman" 's selling points is that it is not woke lol..

The trailers reminds me of season 1-2 of Vikings.  After that they introduced more and more, the fantasy idea of shieldmaiden until there were literally formations of them...  Vikings Valhalla (netflix) has blacks, shieldmaiden etc.

I read all of them, it's good fun. Too bad GRRM will never finish the series.

In my mind I want to do them more out of "seeing what good fantasy writing is" rather than interest in the storyline.  Supposedly Storm of Swords is among the best ever.

I saw GRRM's last blog posts.  It seems like he bit off more than he can chew and is constantly giving excuses, year after year.  He intends on doing side-stories and side jobs BEFORE finishing winds of winter!  This is because he is still getting TV series done based on his work.

Taylor Lorenz slammed as ‘hypocrite’ for ‘doxxing’ ‘Libs of TikTok’ creator

https://nypost.com/2022/04/19/taylor-lorenz-blasted-for-doxxing-libs-of-tiktok-creator/

So, a Jeff Bezos' employee, using her master's gigantic resources, doxxed a simple citizen because she posted videos that made leftists look bad??

I thought they were supposed to be the "good guys", but leftists behave more and more like monsters every day

Now Libs of Tiktok gets death threats, but twitter does nothing about it???

And then they want us to believe that lefitsts are "the good guys"... Yeahh, riiiight

“Under the guise of an armored personnel carrier, the third group entered the administration of the Levoberezhny district,” military commander Andrei Filatov @FilatovCorr reports from Mariupol.

Russian marines, together with the DPR military battalion, stormed the administration building and the hotel of the district near Azovstal, where the firing points of the Azov national battalion were located. Video from April 18th.
