It's peak lib shit.
I know we've had the meme for a long time that while Repubs want more concentration camps, the Dems just want more female oppressors staffing the camps. Then Hollywood went and made a movie about exactly that.
There's even a line in the trailer, "We put ourselves in danger so others aren't."
And the team is international, too, just to check off a few more boxes. An American, Brit, German, Colombian, and Chinese woman walk into a bar... Let's all work together as woke queens to do the bidding of our shadowy handlers!
Fuck all the way off, Kinberg. And fuck everyone who signed off on this.
there's always been CIA shit movies, but it seems like it's an even bigger push now. Most obviously jack ryan, but like, the plot of Mission Impossible: Fallout is good fed agents stop bad "anarchist" baddies from blowing up the world for the evuls. the plot is thinner than capeshit, and this is a well-regarded movie? how long until they adapt Trigger Warning or True Allegiance for the screen?
popular entertainment has convinced everyone that anarchists are just unscrupulous bad guys who like killing people and blowing stuff up just for the sake of doing so
Anarchist, like communist, has come to mean "anything I don't like."
There's some honestly baffling spy/operator shows and movies coming out at the moment, there's one with immortal spec ops and another about a coven of witches who are tier one operators or some shit
Oh, you mean Old Guard? did you see it, cause I want to see if its everything its chalked up to be?
Yeah, that's the one, I haven't yet but I may check it out for the laughs next time I have weed, haha
I'd be so hype if they pull the rug out from under this premise half way though by acknowledging just how fucked up this first world secret agent saviour fantasy is. It definitely won't, everyone loves taking the deals with the military to get free access to whatever locations and set pieces they want.
If anything, it will be a feel-good "if we just work together, we can defeat THE TERRORISTS!" kind of theme with a side of gurrrrrl power.
1000% but with the addition of painting certain countries that aren't China in a better light with the Chinese agent deciding her homeland doesn't fit the liberal buzzwords of the movie and defects to America after.
"We are alike because we both love our country, even if my country is not as perfect as your America."
