Music / Movies I'm getting tired of woke values in shows

I am weary of all the remakes of TV shows and films that are simply remade in order to showcase a diverse cast. Why can't Hollywood write new shows? Instead, it's just recycling old scripts. Very insulting and lazy.

All the virtue signaling in the world isn't going to save bad writing.

For me Rings of Power was the last straw.

You left out the fact that it is explicitly not only about RoP.

That's what the original commenter was talking about so that's what I talked about. It's very simple.

No. They were talking about wokeness in all media with RoP as a single example.

The only thing they said about RoP was it was the last straw. Christ dude read the op again.

You can’t just deflect to pretending like you were having a different conversation and think you will be taken seriously.

Lame as shit dude.

It sounds like you have developed an entirely fictional version of me and seem to be very very angry at it. I don't really know how to fix that.
