2019-03-07 "US Congressional Candidate calls for Government Legislation in Response to Internet Trolls Attacking Captain Marvel" -

[Cyber Bowling]

Thank god someone is willing to stick up for this little move project that would otherwise be destroyed by negative reviews. I bet nobody even heard of it/was planning to see it before these trolls started trashing the movie.

In all seriousness, Disney could have picked the most obscure superhero possible and still had a box office hit on their hands for no other reason than the movie is loosely tied into the next Avengers. Even without that, it's not like Marvel movies are struggling to make a profit. It also isn't the first time a Marvel movie was slammed with negative reviews. I know it happened with Black Panther, and a bunch of angry DC fans slammed Avengers too because they were convinced Disney paid off reviewers to say Justice League was bad. Anyone into the MCU is going to see this movie no matter how many negative reviews it gets. There might be a small percentage of viewers on the fence about it and swayed by negative reviews, but I sincerely doubt it will be enough to make even a barely noticeable dent in the movie. It is also bound to get positive reviews because the majority of reviewers aren't going to want to risk saying anything negative about Marvel's first female superhero movie. At worst, it might get compared to Wonder Woman and not hold up as much, but it's still going to be a commercial success.

yeah it's all about female lead and nothing to do with the message they are trying to push. it's the same shit as gillette did and paid the price for it.

strange how there have been many great movies in the past with female leads that didn't have this problem.

Wu is an idiot.

Were there any doubt?
I mean, s/he's still the same person that sent a glitched campaign mail with the <<first name>> format, but wasn't able to use the code correctly and instead of the actual first name any kind of idiot that would support this lolcow got a mail saying "<<first name>>,today is a very important day for our npc campaign".
And she got triggered by the #learntocode hashtag, only a complete disfunctional moron would take that personally. But then again, only a cretin could've taken 4chan seriously.

Also why the fuck should the government dictate what's entertaining or not? Do we really need Orwell's 1984?
PSYCHCRIME!

This is a real article that someone was paid to write.

And they wonder why journalism is dying.

Nobody should be able to say they’re not going to watch a movie and get away with it.

But this is the first female superhero movie (released by marvel in current year+x)!

At least Halle berry and Jennifer Garner are probably very happy everyone seems to have forgot about Catwoman and Electra.

I like how a supposed progressive is seriously arguing for legislation that would give powerful mutl-national media conglomerates the ability to squelch consumer complaints of their products.

The most pathetic thing isn't really Wu, it's the media for giving him attention.

 

[DatSpicyBoi]

I saw this and I honestly thought it was a parody article. This is real. Please, make it stop.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

How is Wu a real person?

 

[ToroidalBoat]

At first I thought a typical politician was claiming that people should be penalized for not liking a movie because it's too Current Year.

Then I open the thread, and thankfully it's just Wu.

Sorry, friend. This ride never ends.

Antidotes to the effects of this fact are served at fine bars everywhere.

If John Flynt can run for congressman, then I have a high likelihood that Christian Chandler might try for presidency.

we could do worse

How is Wu a real person?

Well when you’re a man who thinks he’s a woman, it’s not a stretch to also think you’re the greatest woman in tech cyber security game development journalism engineering.

 

[CervixHammer]

why is this article written as if Wu is actually a politician?
sure, John thinks he's a Congressman, but nobody else has to indulge his delusions except maybe Frank.

at least it looks like they managed to cut away during the snarls and other facial tics.

 

[fortunecookie]

Doesn't "candidate" imply there's a chance she could win? I think "local laughingstock" is more appropriate.

Its not even local

If I had to I'd vote Chris over Wu, yes.

this is what 'progressive' means these days - just look at the woke and 'progessive' censorship enforced by Google, Twitter etc.

In an age where shitposting can make or break a political candidate, Brianna Wu realizes that he's a long ways away from having another moon rocks moment.
