"Simply having characters that aren't white or leads that are female doesn't make a movie "woke""
Yes it does, when the original leads are White or male.
I saw Wish also, not nearly as egregious as its being made out to be, Nothing like the classics. It actually demonstrates many parallels with todays society; give your wishes to the government for safe keeping and they will provide all you need. Those we trust in positions of power are not who they appear to be. When people stand together they can defeat the levers of control. My only real complaint was a bunch of R rated previews before a PG movie. What I did see was potential positive trend, many of the previews lately and trailers for upcoming movies seem to be much more wholesome content, far less wokeism.
Well when the whole point of all the remakes is to completely diversify every old movie that was too "white", then it is in fact "woke". If you are going to remake a movie it should closely resemble the original. Not, for example, take white little mermaid and make her black. That is woke. What these companies can fucking do is make some original content however they see fit and not ruin or bastardize the old classic movies. The fact that they insist on re-doing all these classics is part of the woke agenda. I am white and dont mind movies with "diversity". What i dont like is when it is forced, unnatural or one of everything in the movie with the white male portrayed as the retard and the woman or minority as they witty smart hero. This is what is now done in every woke shit fuck movie hollywood puts out now. Same thing with every commercial nowadays.
I understand this is not relevant to movie being discussed but woke was discussed. I dont think it's being over used because unfortunately our whole society, thanks to Marxism, has gone woke. All by design.
