See the Star Wars "Convocation!"
The talk of the town is all about “The Marvels” and how the
Marvel Cinematic Universe went woke and has become a girl brand. A lot of men,
while merely “calling it out” by stating the obvious/facts, are getting called
misogynists. Look at the S-Storm Chris Gore got on TwitterX by saying that
Disney is essentially a “Girl Brand” and their films are going to lose S-Loads
of money converting boy-brands into girl-brands. It was clear, long before the
MCU went M-SHE-U, that Star Wars was undergoing gender de-affirming surgery and
went totally “girl brand.” Movie after movie and then show after show became
femme-centric. Mary-Sues filled out the leads and diverse casts seemed to just
be stuck in to fill an agenda rather than a story. And that just didn’t serve
(or offer respect to) anyone very well. And the fanbase can hardly wait to see
what the Acolyte is going to dish out. We already got quite the earful from
Jody Turner-Smith and Leslie Headland at the Star Wars Celebration. There’s no mistaking
they want the (perceived) Patriarchy gone, and queer sensibilities “reflected”
in the Acolyte. And just how did Headland (Harvey Weinstein’s ex-assistant)
ever get installed to helm a Star Wars show? (Thanks Kathleen Kennedy.) It
occurs to most actual fans that she either’s never seen or at least doesn’t
respect the material. ‘time to satirically dish out a little disrespect of our own
in this imaginary Star Wars Convocation which reveals the all-new, brilliant,
female-writer’s answer to the continuous reappearance of the Death Star. We
hope this will underline that this ultimately is not about feminization. It’s
about bad-feminization, misplaced intentions, and really bad film-making,
writing, and directing.
