That's fuckin' weird bro. Fuckin' weird. Back in my day we used to call those kind of people flunkies and bootlickers.
Today we call them simps and glazers
Updates Millennial vocabulary...
Update failed! Storage space unavailable.
I feel like bootlickers has a more negative connotation to it.
I feel ‘dick rider’ is appropriate
I don't believe negative connotations should be applied to riding dicks. Usually it's a win-win.
That's a good one.
And yes, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Mr Musk. He has my loyalty for LIFE, and I don’t say that lightly.”
Ok fucking what? Did this dude implant Neuralinks in half the US population without anyone's knowledge?
What an insane fucking thing to say.
I don’t say that lightly.
I love it when randos say shit like this. I don't know you. Nobody knows you. Your judgement carries no weight.
Or it could be another of Musk's sock puppets. Kissing his own ass is one of his favorite hobbies.
That’s the bottom line, isn’t it? Everyone deserves one's respect, no one deserves one's worship.
I would argue the work we're looking for is "dignity". Too many people disagree on what "respect" means.
Even if true, how fucked up in the head do you have to be to make death threats for an actor to play a role in a movie that is pure fiction.
Don't like it, DON'T WATCH IT!
Fucking neck-beards ~~paladin'~~ peddlin’ the dumbest things for "canon".
EDIT: Fucking autocorrect
This sort of thing is frighteningly common. The first two instances that come to mind for me are both Star Wars films: Ahmed Best after The Phantom Menace and Kelly Marie Tran after The Last Jedi.
Not to detract from your point but did you substitute "paladin" for "champion"?
It also has an apostrophe at the end like it's slang for "palading". And I don't understand either move.
peddlin', probably. Autocorrect is that 'friend' that acts all sweet until your back is turned.
the problem is that they don't believe in "get woke go broke" themselves. if they did they wouldn't have fucking conniptions every time they saw a black person or even a woman on screen. they would just sit back and watch the woke movies bomb. but they don't. the rate of bad "woke" movies is just the rate of bad movies.
Actually changing Jack Sparrow to a female would be an amazing change. Why? Because it's different.
Imagine a drunk, female Jane Sparrow sailing around having grand adventures. Throw in some cute but sexy outfits. Sign me up.
Regular reboot with some guy? Probably skipping it because it doesn't excite me. It's just a reboot.
Wasn't that Penelope Cruz's character, more or less?
Not judging your expectation of sexy outfits. Only saying us gays didn't get them with Depp. I don't even remember him shirtless. 🥲
Kinda want her to get the role now just so these assholes don't see Depp or somebody else in the new movie and think that they had a hand in saving Hollywood from the evil forces of woke. Satisfaction is not permitted.
And give full credit to musk and his sad little fanboy. "Thank you for this idea, we would never have considered her, but now we're all in!"
The level of utter derangement people have over mainstream cinema (marvel, star wars, franchise, action slop, disney remakes) being 'tainted' by a raceswap, or being 'woke' in some way is off the scales.
There are genuinely people crying themselves to sleep over the perceived quality of the entertainment equivalent of happy meals. There's an entire caustic critic industry over it. It's honestly pathetic how so many people have MCU Derangement syndrome.
I suspect many of those same people do not have healthy relationships with women and are quite rude to their mothers.
Right? Imagine if The Wiz came out today.
People like to say, "you couldn't make that today" when they see something that they perceive as being "anti-woke" (they're almost always wrong, of course).
I feel like they literally could not make The Wiz today without people like this losing their shit.
As opposed to sane death threats against her?
She's a successful black actress, they unfortunately come with the territory. I imagine they hit differently when they're coming from actual Nazis though
(This was meant to be a joke but it kinda just made me sad as I was typing it)
They want a movie reboot but with the same actors?
Pretty sure Depp has said he's not willing to take on the role again. Obviously Disney would have to cast someone else.
Sending them death threats is insane. Grow up people...
Maybe do it like Furiosa - take one of the interesting female characters and make a prequel about them.
It’s just not worth it. So why? Just know the big studios will always fuck with you. You’ll never be happy so don’t entertain them with feed back and don’t give them a penny.
