Disappointing and irritating. This whole thing with actors, writers, and producers having to make antagonistic woke comments is simply stupid, both on the face of it and with alienating their target audience. Had Tim Miller not had a big mouth, likely few people would have made any "worthless broad" comments, or might have had praise for the character.
As we have discussed here many times before: Sarah Conner. Ripley. Zoey. Just to name a few. Bad ass characters who happen to be women, that few guys have a problem with. Mostly because they got to simply experience the character in action, not the woke prologue to the movie/TV series.
As I have mentioned far too many times already, this woke crap is really getting my goat with Netflix and Amazon as well. Two great shows - The Punisher and Shooter, were disappointing to me in their last seasons because of course the writers had to bring in the old white guy villains - Christian militia zealots in one, and deplorable rich conservatives and proud boys (by another name) in the other. This has been happening way more in the age of Trump, where these lefties just have to get their political statements into otherwise enjoyable fiction. They are doing it with Jack Ryan this season as well. The Venezuelan president, instead of being a Maduro/Chavez commie, is alluded to be a conservative/totalitarian, and the left wing socialist female candidate in the election (AOC anyone?) is who will save Venezuela.
I don't care if Netflix wants to have 90% woke content, but for shows that are obviously not designed for woke nagging (movies like Terminator too), can you just stick to the action and not have to include lectures, either before the movie is even released, or else every ten minutes in the movie itself?
