    It particularly amazes me in the Hollywood movies that cost hundreds of millions of dollars and they can’t bother to get basic facts or their own plot points straight.

      I feel like the Cinema-Sins-ification of online film criticism has raised generations who cannot appreciate anything on a level beyond a checklist of “ackshually” gotchas. At least the crowd who just don’t want to see black actors had an emotional response.

        No problem with black actors. But why not new stories. I’m sure Africa has Ron’s of stories most people haven’t heard. No we get the same European stories and they race swap people for inclusion. It is the most low effort bullshit.

        And then the race doesn’t matter people are bullshit. If it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter bit I haven’t seen another way. Never seen a white of black Mulan. Or a white or Asian Rosa Parks. And before she was real they changed the race of that Queen of England so being real isn’t a factor.

          I recently heard about an effort to grab some of the verbal stories from Africa and write them down, and that seems like a perfect treasure trove.

        I would love a cinema sins channel thats all based on second+ level thematic inconsistencies.

        Literally dozens of us would watch.
