Barbie, HoD, and Last of Us all had elements of "wokeness" and were wildly successful. i liked all 3.


The only thing anywhere near “woke” in House of the Dragon is Corlys being black but his race isn’t some social commentary inserted into the show. If anything it helps confirm a big rumor from the book by changing he and his children’s race. If anything, it’s the rare example of good race swapping in media.

It’s their ideology. It’s not a productive one. At its “best” or rather least destructive, they just co-opt the success of others and claim it as their own. Usually they destroy something and then say it was bad to begin with.

Yep, they steal a popular IP then go “psych, this is really a soap opera about me and my narcissism and if you don’t like it you’re an ist-phobe”

i've got no complaints about this race swap tbh. fictional characters and it actually leans into the targaryen lore of the show with the blonde hair no matter what.

i'd say casting a "them" as a lead (it's a chick. she knows it. the showrunners know it. we all know it.)along with casting other random colored people that weren't written that way could be "woke," but i repeat, it's well done so most people DGAF.

"alt-right" and "hyper conservatives" are the boogeymen responsible for every bad thing that has happened to this woman.

Yeah it's almost like everyone of a political party don't all think and act exactly the same.

The people who don't subscribe to the streaming services, the ones who don't pay at the boxoffice to see the movies, THESE are the alt-Right monsters who are causing projects like hers to fail?

Hmmm.....

I live in the bubble of my own reality but for those who aren’t aware there has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced ... when it was still just a concept and no one had even seen it.


This is because they sold it on woke bullshite rather than a coherent concept that would fit inside the Star Wars universe. They also mentioned how they were making it for new fans rather than old fans.

The show was realistically a 5 or 6. It wasn't awful but not really intriguing or good either. its the girl you would take home but you aren't taking her by your buddy's to brag about her.

How dare people take interest in my show and learn about what I'm doing before it gets released! They should just consume my product blindly!

No way dude. You're describing a slump buster. This show was not good enough to be called that. Its more like a 3:00 am last call drunken disaster. It's not at all like the girls you tell your buddies you are looking for. Its one you wish you could take back.
