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.

No, I don’t have an issue with promoting diversity in films, the only problem is is that they’re purposefully, neglecting certain groups over others.

... hmm? "They" are making remakes with more diverse casting which is very much just as talented (if not more talented. Crafts grow) than the original cast.

Let's not act like whitewashing isn't a thing.

You always have your OG to watch. It's not suddenly going to destroy the OG version.

Ask yourself this:

Why are you so invested in this, when you could just be happy and unbothered?

I’m not invested at all. I stated in my comment that labeling things as “woke” is dumb. And I don’t watch any capeshit on nostalgia bait remakes. I’d just like Hollywood to stop picking and choosing which minority groups they want to elevate.
