Hollywood "Blackwashing" Over Everything in 2024


Ok, here's something the LEFT and RIGHT can both totally agree on: The stupidity of Hollywood in the past 15 years remaking everything with different race actors as an attempt to be creative.

They can't be original in Hollywood or do anything new, so they just recast every superhero as black or a woman. Black Captain America. Because that's edgy , you know?

Even the last Bond had a black woman trying to be passed off as the next Bond. She was 006 or something but still... Basically they're saying that's the next generation.

They did it with Spider-Man. He's not Peter Parker anymore, if you didn't know. His name's Miles Morales now. Because that's originality and creativity in 2024. Marvel can't create anything new or original because they are a company that couldn't make original comics even in 1992 (Which is why all their best artists and writers left).

So what do you do when you're a multi-billion dollar film studio and you can't create or originate ideas? Do what Marvel has always been known for: Exploit.

Replace Marvel with Disney and it's exactly the same.

006 won't work because 99% of bond fans are guys who like to live vicariously through bond's adventures and they won't relate to an ugly black woman as their hero. The same thing happened with disney's star wars movies as most of the fanbase are boys and they don't relate to manly mary sues.
