Ep. 38. My Thoughts on the "Woke" MCU and its Toxic Fandom

[@PatriciaMaroney]

I agree that whatever he meant by saying that was very bad timing. Since he didn't actually tell us what he thinks that means, we can only assume and that doesn't look good for him. Seems like the PR folks would have to be doing some clean up.

I know

Good rant. Seems like the problem is clarification so I wouldn’t hold too much against him at the moment. Woke is a term much like Black Lives Matter, patriarchy or Nationalism. Means different things to different people. To me, it’s pushing a certain agenda rather than making a point. X-men is obvious about what it means but it’s not overtly telling you to believe something. If you don’t catch it you just enjoy a cool comic/story. I think that’s the area where everyone can enjoy whatever thing you’re creating. That’s the fandom area I wanna live in.

The problem isn't that there is inclusion that makes people upset and against Marvel movies being woke. It's the co-opting of existing characters to do so, AND the BAD scripts created to push it over a good story. Having characters of different races, genders, sexuality is fine, just create a new character that is such AND don't make the movie JUST about that one facet of the person. And for many of us it isn't that Sam is Black, BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE THE SUPER SOLDIER SYRUM and the powers that come from that. Ergo he isn't Capt America.

@@VigilanteVibesPod SSS never introduced in the MCU movies, (even current Sam Wilson lead movie). And that is what we are talking about.
