If you’re one of the thousands of former Star Wars fans who have all but given up on the franchise — especially after its “woke” makeover by the Disney crew — we don’t exactly blame you. Forget milking a dead cow — this poor animal has been beaten, eaten, regurgitated, set on fire, and milked again for good measure.
But, we watched the first few episodes of the new Disney+ series The Mandalorian, and we have to say — it isn’t nearly as bad as you might think. Sure, it doesn’t have the feel that George Lucas’ original trilogy had, but of course it doesn’t — the series will never catch up to those legendary offerings ever again. But, Disney is a corporation, and corporations want to make money. And since slapping “Star Wars” on just about anything guarantees a steady income, they’re going to keep releasing titles bearing the name of the timeless films.
One thing that’s absent from The Mandalorian is the sequel trilogy’s obsession with “wokeness.” If you watched The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi, you know exactly what we mean. The films go out of their way to not only display ethnic and gender diversity, putting aside the fact that this a space fantasy with aliens, the script writers make a point to make this diversity part of the narrative. By contrast, the Mandalorian is just a Disney ride: there’s fighting, explosions, space magic, and some more fighting for good measure. We’re not going to pretend that it’s an intellectual masterpiece, but it does break the painful pattern we’ve seen from Star Wars titles over the past few years.
This isn’t just us geeking out, either. Forbes is reporting that, after just three episodes, the show has taken the top steaming spot away from Netflix’s Stranger Things. People really like this show…
Apparently, that’s a big problem for politically correct social justice activists on the internet. One of the most infamous feminists on Twitter apparently just watched the first few episodes as well, and she had more than a few problems with it.
We’re not going to lie — the fact that this radical leftist is so upset by this is making the fact that we bought a Disney+ account much easier to justify. Here’s Tim Pool with the full story:
I agree that we should just not respond! Having said that, I have never been one just to leave things alone… LOL
These “activists” that believe that their opinions be heard because they are the voice of “fairness and diversity” forget a few things.
First of all, there is no Constitutional Right that you “Not be offended”.
Second, there is no Constitutional Right that you be heard!
Third, if you don’t like what is there and you believe that someone or some view is under represented, go make your own show that provides what you desire and see if it is successful… who knows, maybe you will hit it out of the park! But don’t start crying if it is not successful claiming it is because of something out of your control!
People need to understand that we don’t like agendas shoved down our throats!
It isn’t “fair” to tell others what we should be doing, watching or paying for… it is an individual decision! The market place is a fickle thing, stop trying to tell us what is wrong with it! Produce your product and see if it flies… if it does, awesome… but don’t say we are wrong if it doesn’t!
Female liberals seem to have nothing better to do than make waves against anything & everything…….They have a desire to destroy the USA with their inane and leftist attitudes…….
So according to feminists, everything on this planet is supposed to revolve around their desire to be men. If you want to be a man get a sex change and then you can stop bitching about EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
Amen to that Mr. Harston
Misfits of our Society? Sad!!
Oh dear. All of this is so sad. Be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want to do. Just don’t expect others to do it with you because we neither want nor need your opinions. Stop shoving things in our faces. Accept who and what you are. Disney is Disney for goodness sake. Don’t like it? Don’t watch it!
But … wait …
Feminists? Is that term even allowed, under their new Woke presence?
Sounds like gender bias.
Gonna call the social media police.
I’m offended.
With all their crying. It reminds me of them being that time of month. The problem here is. It never ended. Everything offends them. So, I want to say. Pull the plug out or change the pad. It’s time to stop bitching about stupid things. Women like you make me sick. Try something good for a change. Like being a women instead of a bitch.
I suggest the feminists start looking around them and seeing how women are heading for slavery here in this country. First the LGBT whom the feminists back are wiping women’s rights out. A male can go into a female bathroom just by putting on a dress. Where are women’s rights in the bathrooms and changing rooms and locker rooms. Males can win against women in sports. Where are women’s rights in sports. Women and girls are in the sex trade in the highest numbers ever, where are women’s rights being forced into sex trade and landing in jail when freed from the trade because they can be treated as prostitutes. Abortion or pro choice which feminists worship is wiping out more girl babies and future women by women instead of adopting out allowing their babies being tortured to death legally in the U.S. Where are girl baby rights in the abortion/murder buildings. Girls are killed at higher rates than boys. These feminists brought this stuff on themselves to where no body including other women don’t listen to them any more. They have missed the boat and by encouraging and advancing cooperation with LGBT which is a bunch of males using women to advance their male with male lifestyle over a women and male lifestyle because LGBT hates their competition for males and that competition is women. LGBT is behind all these things that are eroding women’s rights and the feminists don’t see it. Us normal women see what LGBT is working on taking women’s rights from women, making us unneeded by males and leaving the males to males.
You are unfortunately so right
TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU. LGBT YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME
The Left’s obsession with “inclusiveness” is pathological– and it’s spread like a contagion– just look at commercials . on television– EVERYTHING is a Beneton ad today. EVERYTHING has to cram “wokeness” in viewers’ faces… and it ends up being, not inclusive, but EXCLUSIVE of the majority. For instance, African-Americans make up just shy of 14% of the population, but watching television, one would think it’s closer to 50%. The Left– Democrats, Progressives, Feminists– are obsessed with their “approved” minorities to a truly insane extent. I say “approved” because only minorities that they have given their imprimatur to benefit from their feverish attention. Take the case of feminism: supposedly concerned with women. But in the world of identity politics, what IS a woman? When genetic men can “identity” as a woman, it broadens the definition to the point that ANYONE and EVERYONE might be considered a “woman”. Therefore, consider “womens’ sports”. It is, to the Left, an uncomfortable and inconvenient truth that men are more powerfully built, physically, than women; hence the creation of women’s sports, since in coed competition men have a natural advantage, so a separation of the sexes was established to allow women to have a level field in competition. Now, not only are transgendered women (still possessing a male physiognomy and strength) allowed to compete with genetic women, now they’re advocating allowing ANYONE who “identifies” as a woman to compete– so genetic women are denied a level field for fair competition. So the net effect of this whole megillah is that these feminists and “social justice warriors”, instead of supporting women, are actually oppressing the very people they very loudly and meretriciously say they support.
AND– “woke”??? The word is the preterite (aka “simple past”) form of the verb “wake”, not an adjective! Another example of the Left’s simultaneous lack of respect for the language and their predominantly addled mental processes.
Feminists getting upset at movies not being as constantly gender-obsessed as they are is truly risible! They’re typical fanatics — everything in their minds is gender-based, and they are as humorless as they are fanatical. They need to be on Ritalin — or in padded cells
If I don’t like a movie? I don’t pay to watch it.
Is it any wonder, that these new “Woke Feminists,” are still living at home?
What makes them, morally superior? Because they have a vagina?
Apparently, there must have been a reason, that bitch slapping, was so well known.
Women who call themselves feminists/women’s libbers are NOT really that. They are women who sit at their computers on a daily basis looking for something to complain about. A real feminist/women’s libber is a woman who can live without the help of a man. Today’s so called feminists can’t live an hour without a man.
Agree with Estell, however must add this….Real feminists realize that they have choices on how to live theirs lives as well as the fact that other women are able to choose for themselves….these “feminists” that bitch about the injustices of women staying home to take care of the house and kids or that they cant always get the same jobs as a man, they need to understand that sometimes that it IS a woman’s choice to be a stay at home mom/wife and if that is possible then more power to you and as for the jobs today…I agree with PG Vangelis….biological women are just not built the same way biological men are, I am sorry if that hurts anyone’s believes that everyone is created equally but the sad truth is, when we were “created, evolved or came out of nowhere from a big bang”, whichever theory you believe in, one gender was made for the hunting and defense necessary to survive and one the other was made for nurturing and caring….look through history and tell me which gender is which….
