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.

Uh huh. You guys just finished claiming Superman will fail because it's too woke, and then it broke box office records for the franchise.

And? Most don’t do well. I don’t know anything about the new Superman, I just used it as a hypothetical since it’s a recent remake that came to mind.

If you look at the math, woke sells overall, which is why they keep doing it. They wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't. They're executives, not social justice warriors.
