But also, it'll make the people who hate this kind of dead-balls, spot-on satire because it makes them look ridiculous:ĪV Club - he long-running series can kind of sneak up on you sometimes, meaning that something like the new trailer for South Park: Joining The Panderverse, released earlier today, can hit you with no time for preparation and, woof, yeah, this one is a lot. They've simply delivered with way too high a batting average for it not to be. First and foremost, because you know it'll be hilarious. So the timing couldn't be more perfect for Parker and Stone to wade into this nonsense. But requiring that every cast of every movie represent everyone of every backround just for the sake of doing it is anti-creativity. No one's stopping anyone (except during the writer's strike, I suppose). All the Jordan Peele films, that are elevating the horror genre. Everything, Everywhere All at Once, which was complex and layered and a little hard to follow, but an objectively good movie deserving of all the awards. Write orginal characters and cast them however you wish. To be perfectly clear, making movies with diverse casts is a great goal. Where the Oscars have made it clear that unless you check the right number of social boxes with your cast and crew, you can't get nominated for awards. Where Jennifer Lawrence claims Hunger Games had a hurdle to jump over because no female character had ever been the hero of an action movie. Where Helen Mirren and Bradley Cooper are put in heavy make up to make themselves look just like the famous people they're playing (Golda Meir and Leonard Bernstein), and get accused of "Jewface." Even though the Meir and Bernstein families each approved their respective casting. Where Gal Gadot is asked to apologize for playing Cleopatra, instead of the role going to an Egyptian, despite the fact Cleopatra was Macedonian. We live in an entertainment landscape where Bryan Cranston gets ripped for playing a quadriplegic, since that supposed took work away from one of Hollywood's many famous quadriplegic actors. Or to take the LucasFilms IP they paid billions for and make the hero and old, crabby hermit who gets saved by a girl boss in order to fight the Patriarchy or something. Even if that means the dwarfs aren't dwarfs and the titular character hates the original. At a time where Disney Studio's only reason to exist seems to be to take their classics and do live action remakes to promote representation. ![]()
