    I already said.
    Her facial expression is all it'll take.
    It's not like CHUDs have had better reasons.

    Save it.

    Says the guy that started a thread about the not-perfectly-white-enough Snow White.
    She's off-white, and not alabaster!! :eek:

    Not surprised that you don’t get why Snow White should be white.

    Well, now you and UA have to love new-Supergirl with all your heart, and spleen, and liver.
    It's the only way to defeat me.
    The power of love will slay my communistic evil.

    Why should she be white?

    There's already been a story told with a white Snow White. It's there any time anyone wants to watch it

    What's the harm in having another Snow White movie with an asian or a who gives a fuck what color main character?

    I hope someone does make a Snow White who is super-nonwhite, just like Curly from the Three Stooges doesn't actually have curly hair.

    Why not tell a NEW story?

    Because it's not about entertainment or even making money. It's about pissing people off by vandalizing beloved classics, then calling everyone bigots when their garbage flops. These are bitter, talentless people who can only get attention when they are annoying and alienating consumers.

    Nah. It’s about making money. It’s easier to rehash something than it is to create a new tale from whole cloth. Same reason we get reboots of popular TV shows and movies like Star Trek and the like.

    Yeah that happens too

    This is incorrect. The classic is not touched or vandalized. It continues to exist just as it was made

    If it flops it flops, who gives a shit. You keep worrying about these inconsequential internet people who say "bigot" when it comes to stupid things like this and it literally affects no one

    Yeah, they're the ones coming off as bitter and are the ones annoying and alienating people :lol:

    Yes.

    Any notion of "this failed because they wanted to stick it to whomever" is secondary.

    James Gunn sticks it to CHUDs just by having his job.
    They tried to get him fired, and he got to do "The Suicide Squad" and "Guardians 3" and gets to be the Kevin Feige of DC.
    Talk about chuddery backfiring.
    Talk about actual Twitter ghouls.
    Attack him some more, dimwits, you'll make him president.
    :lol:

    So yeah, he can make "Superman Legacy" the most down-the-line straightforward superhero movie with zero political content.....but its mere existence pisses on CHUDs.

    "CHUDS" didn't try and get rid of Gunn woke Disney did because of something he wrote on Twitter years prior.

    Yeah, they did.

    And did it fall into their lap through a hole in the clouds from Heaven?
    No, CHUDs made hay about it.
    Then Bautista exposed the guy who dug up the tweets as a swastika kisser.
    Then Disney knew they got played.
    Then Gunn got Guardians back, and had double jobs.
    And now it's triple.

    No, it's definitely me pointing out ridiculously bad writers who take a job they should never have been offered, then proceed to use it to finally "win" the argument with someone who was mean to them as a kid. It's obvious and hilarious.

    "Willfully oblivious fascist dupe" is more descriptive, but it's a clunky mouthful.
    I mean, I guess I could cut-n-paste it to save time.
    But "CHUD" seems to rattle you more for some weird reason.
