I thought it was just part of the wokeness, but i did find it odd. Im actually surprised they went with king and not something "inclusive" and "gender neutral" like ruler or leader. Probably part of the masculinization of women agenda.
I believe so, that it was to make women more masculine, for sure. They want them to be just like men! Crazy world we live in. I'm also surprised they didn't go with leader lol.
As with anything woke, all logic flies out the window. Building on that foundation creates a house of cards.This trailer came on the other day. I havent watched the film, nor have any intention of watching.
If the queen of England is now black to appease wokeness, why is this woman king not white? Or even any of her subjects?
But as this article explains, it's historically inaccurate and woke regardless
The Woman King conveniently ignores empire’s slave-owning roots - Washington Examiner
The Woman King is an upcoming historical epic piece centered on Gen. Nanisca of the Dahomey Amazons of the Kingdom of Dahomey. It tells the tale of the valiant efforts of Nanisca to fight off Europeans who were intent on taking over Africa. But, while the movie is advertised in its trailer as...www.washingtonexaminer.com
I've been looking for a thread to post this on!
Women dont NEED femininity to be women. Us tomboys do exist. There are women who are just happier away from forced femininity, me being one of them. Hate make up, dresses, glitter, baking, cooking in general, not a child person, happy childfree, always in baggy trousers and t shirts. The issue with supernatural is the women are arrogant and rude. Women dont need to be feminine or arrogant. Women can be tom boys and polite
They dont know how to write women. women are either ditzy hyperfeminine, girl bosses/arrogant, over masculine/parodies of men, whores, or hyper virgins (that usually need to be sexualised), or the geek (another that needs to be changed).
Exactly, and those are all overused boring stereotypical tropes. It really doesn't seem like they know at all how to write women.

The modern actresses in all of these roles are literally men.
It’s called woman king because it’s the divine androgyne. The aliens have already landed and they are grannies.
I agree with this. Whatever "femininity" is does not make nor take away from a woman being a woman. I have always been on the tomboyish side, and statements such as "ALL women behave/think/feel/like without exception" tend to irritate me to no end.
This seems closer to the truth, and that's how we know that things are wacked LOL
Like one guy always says, the truth is “bitter”.
I don't know anything about these movies, so I'm only addressing the race of the actors pointed out in the above posts. I am totally for diversity in this context. These are works of fiction, and I'm glad roles have opened up to include actors of all backgrounds and races. If they chose the best actor for the roles, then good for them.
there is a new marilyn monroe biopic coming out. the female role is given to a woman who would appear completely ridiculous if she was portrayed with her black hair. imagine how stupid it would be if she appeared as a black woman-- even if, as you say, the black actress` abilities were top notch.
I agree. This falls under the category of historical accuracy as I mentioned above.there is a new marilyn monroe biopic coming out. the female role is given to a woman who would appear completely ridiculous if she was portrayed with her black hair. imagine how stupid it would be if she appeared as a black woman-- even if, as you say, the black actress` abilities were top notch.
the same can be said about the new weird al movie where great lengths were made to make the main actor look very similar to yankovic. oprah winfrey is played appropriately by a black woman
theres a place for merit in film, but never when the race interferes with authenticity.
This is why so many can't handle it.
This reminds me of Avengers endgame/Thor love and thunder. The King of Asgard is a lesbian woman. So completely removed from any male.
I agree diversity is find but when it comes to historical biopics i get annoyed. I also find it troubling when actors are coming out and saying white men are being written out of cinema/entertainment all together.
