The rate of likes/dislikes speaks loudly about how this is going to be a failure.
it's hip to be square
This could actually be decent without all GIRL POWAH stuff going on... make no mistake, I'm all for equality, inclusion and respect, and it's good that some effort at all is being made towards that. However, the vibe I get from this trailer in particular (and other movies and TV shows in general) is less "anyone can be a hero" and more "we put a woman as the main character because we're so progressive, and we will let you know; oh, and she's a lesbian, too". To quote an analogy, it's as respectful as the Ku Klux Klan appointing a few token blacks as members...
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
we don't know what it could have been, because we will probably not see another version of this without the girl powerzOriginally Posted by anon
you're a male moderator on this forum, where are the equal female moderators?make no mistake, I'm all for equality, inclusion and respect
not everyone can be a hero (no equality in this case)the vibe ... is less anyone can be a hero
their decisions are to an extent based on movies/showsOriginally Posted by Instab
movies/shows cannot be made without the moviemaker promoting his views or beliefs and therefore influencing the viewers
democracy is generally a poor system of governanceat least that's how a democracy is meant to be.

that's the showrunners' responsibility.movies/shows cannot be made without the moviemaker promoting his views or beliefs
the very fact that you can say this here proves that it's not so bad after alldemocracy is generally a poor system of governance

whatever the showrunner decides will promote his own views or beliefs, just like the moviemaker does in his own field of activityOriginally Posted by Instab
but you could say the same sentence in some dictatorship... and the dictator would agreethe very fact that you can say this here proves that it's not so bad after all
not necessarily. for example it depends on where the show is supposed to air, or which network it's supposed to be sold to, or what the people who finance the show want and so on ...
i think you got what i meantyou could say the same sentence in some dictatorship... and the dictator would agree

thats exactly my point: his choice of channels or networks shows his position/views, their choice of shows to run on their channels or networks shows their position/views, the people who finance the show will push their own position/views, etc. - all of this will have an effect, influencing the position/views of the audienceOriginally Posted by Instab
sure, but the part of your conclusion that 'its due to democracy that this was possible' was erroneous, thus the 'dictator' examplei think you got what i meant
looks like that got lost in translation. a showrunner is one specific person while what you listed are all involved parties.
no. the point is that you can say what you want and not just what the "dictator" agrees with.the part of your conclusion that 'its due to democracy that this was possible' was erroneous

where is the problem? all of them have an influence - you can examine only the showrunner if you likeOriginally Posted by Instab
a democracy, just like any other system, also has laws, some of which regulate what you cannot say without the risk of getting prosecuted or punished, therefore it would be erroneous to claim that you can just say whatever you want without legal consequencesthe point is that you can say what you want and not just what the "dictator" agrees with.
that depends on how benevolent or repressive the system is in practice - a benevolent ruler may allow more freedom of speech than a repressive democracy - in case you didn't notice, our current democracies have relatively steadily been heading towards an orwellian totalitarianismOriginally Posted by Instab
