F.D Signifier | Why Wonder Woman 1984 Has A White Feminism Problem (a breakdown of what went wrong):Light Work #7 @FDSignifire | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Wonder Woman 1984 is a pretty bad movie for a lot of reasons. It's a bitter disappointment for me as a man with a healthy love for the character. However, DC's newest stumble out of the gate is bad in a way that is a bit more concerning that it's other failures. Either Patty Jenkins, or the studio, or someone really didn't sit down to think about the optics and concepts that were being displayed on the screen, and because of this, the movie's "woke" subtext really really comes off wrong.
On this episode of Light Work Fiq reacts to what was going through his head as he turned on his HBO GO account to stream this movie. He breakdown what really happened and what with wrong, including the worst type of "easter egg" a movie can have (when you find something you wished you wouldn't.) He watched Wonder Woman run through the greatest hits of irresponsible white feminism and neuvo wokeness, and breaks down why this doesn't work and why the movie is worse for it. Pour one out for the DCU stans.
Also special announcement at the beginning for a contest leading us to a celebration of hitting 200 subs!
