Actress Vanessa Kirby confirmed that Marvel Studios’ upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps explores gender politics with her Sue Storm character.This Substack is reader-supported.
If this turns out to be what all indicators suggest it's going to be, this damn thing can't flop any harder. Disney is controlled by dark malevolent principalities.
Kirby seems to have taken a page out of Rachel What's-her-name's playbook (the one who destroyed Snow White). Chalk up another movie I won't be seeing.
Well this killed any interest I had, another crap marvel offering incoming I guess. Absolutely par for the course these days, I can’t believe they’re still hoping this magical new audience they still think Is out there will one day actually turn up to save the day 🙄
I was trying to be open to this (and gritting my teeth), in spite of insufferable Pedro "I get hired everywhere" Pascal, Doreen Radd instead of Norrin Radd, and the slight foppish vibes coming from Ben Grimm. But this is ridiculous. Non-Buynary.
About 40 years ago, someone told me something that explains a lot about women:
"Women don't belch, fart or snore, therefore they must bitch or they would explode".
Since then I've been much more understanding about their emotional outbursts because I understand them to be necessary for their survival.
Women think that the fact they feel the need to constantly express their emotions to anyone and everyone at each point of every day makes them somehow more emotionally mature than men. Personally, I just think it's a demonstration of their emotional instability. I've learned to say "sorry to hear that" a lot. Someone said something that hurt your feelings? Sorry to hear that. Someone cut you off in traffic? Sorry to hear that. The cashier at the grocery store didn't smile and thank you for your business? Sorry to hear that.
Regarding the comments about the upcoming movie: If you have to "demonstrate" to the world how strong and independent and full of leadership you are by pretending to be so in a make-believe world...you aren't any of those things. When someone possesses any of those qualities, they don't have to tell us about it; we know them by their fruits.
I have to say, though, I do appreciate them coming right out and telling us up front that the movie isn't about entertainment, it's about political messaging. I appreciate the head's up. Saves me time and money.
If I never see another "strong female lead" who wants to take on "gender roles" in a movie ever again, it will still be too soon.
Add this to Pascal's blathering about Snow White and the "Nope" is strong with this film.
This is killing what limited interest I had for this…
Surprising to only the double digit IQ people. Disney will push woke in all their products.

Women aren't very emotionally intelligent. They are however more emotionally stunted than men and there are a lot of immature men in the world.
