Probably going to be a flop because they have no audience...

Who is the biggest audience for historical battle movies? Middle-aged white men. I doubt they are going to be too keen on seeing this.

MIDDLE AGED WHITE MEN DISLIKE BLACK WOMEN?

[–] whynotwriteme (7739) 2 years ago

Only when they are used to preach at them and tell them they are evil because "Hundreds of years ago, other white men blah blah blah."

This movie is based on history. Africans fighting against slavers.

Why do you support the Trans-Atlantic slave trade since you don't consider it evil?

$50 mill OW domestic
This is a film for man, woman & child.

When I saw this trailer in theaters I thought it was a knockoff of both Black Panther and Wonder Woman. I'm not seeing it but that's the vibes I got from it.

[–] whynotwriteme (7739) 2 years ago

It's a knockoff of those plus a race and gender-swapped Braveheart.

[–] Keelai (35235) 2 years ago

Black Panther based their female warriors on historical African female warriors like the ones in this movie. There have been many African queen warriors throughout African history.

I'm a middle aged white man and I will likely go see it.

Because you're hoping for some steamy lesbian scenes, of course.

Very stunning and so brave.

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

Thank you. I am stunning and brave.

[–] Miyagido (2944) 2 years ago

Sorry for the late reply, I was just so stunned!

Nah in all seriousness I'll probably watch this too, but likely later down the line once I can watch it at home. Hope it's good! I still want to know why it isn't just called Queen though.

So you're saying middle aged white men are racists. Ok.

[–] whynotwriteme (7739) 2 years ago

If RaCiSm means not liking to have moviemakers try to beat you over the head with a guilt-stick for entertainment, then yeah, I guess so.

[–] TheArgentinian (7175) 2 years ago

Racism is prejudice. So, yes.

[–] asom (6880) 2 years ago

SO not feeling guilty for something that you never done is racism. Got it.

[–] asom (6880) 2 years ago

Don't fall for the troll ;)

It couldn't just be the queen? Jesus

Looks interesting to say the least. Probably far better than any action film based on a comic book. I'm an old white man.
