I honestly could not care less if a movie protagonist is black white male female whatever, if the acting, script, plot cinematography are good thats all that matters.
Its unfortunate that for those forcing diversity in to casting, that alone is often not woke enough for them, no they must also deliver a woke politcal message, which involves inflicting guilt and shame on much of their audiance - and yes this takes precendence over things like plot and character development.
So the movie will often be bad. And when everyone hates it, they use that as ammunition / confirmation of how biased and intertolerent society still is and why their work is needed.
(Conveniently brushing aside decades of past great films starring many a great actress and non white actors as if they didn't exist and it was them who were the pioneers of this diversity)
What a joke.
Starwars' Rey is good example, While she is not a bad actress or protagonist, because she is female there is this weird need to over compensate for past female tropes who show emotion and vulnerablility, so they make her a 'kick-ass stong woman' to the point she is invincible and instantly brilliant at every challenge she is faced with, she shows no weakness, she never seems to struggle or screw anything up.
That just makes her unrelatable, unbelivable and boring.
Its like film making 101, how Hollywood types cant see it, I dont understand. I guess this is what ideolgy does to people.
Think this is one of the biggest problems with progressives now, they seem to have this delusion that if they push hard enough they can some how 'fix the past' .... but of course, they can't.
