Why did they change the title just because of bad ticket sales
I just think it's funny (including this post here, in the world of make believe a Peele movie with an all white cast is funny.) It's only the big menace to society that we allow it to be. These "agendas" I keep reading about online, in movies I watch, mean nothing to me. I watch what I want to watch regardless of cast. Some work some don't. When I don't like something I give it no time. It's pretty simple for me and then I can reserve my anger (or ire, if anger is too strong a word) for things that truly require it.
WB has unleashed the bots:
Surely they shall turn the tide! All those genuine reactions, from actual humans, are a surefire way to influence moviegoers' choices! Boy, I just cannot believe Sonic is a Jihadist! I hear they got Rucka Rucka Ali to make the soundtrack for the Sonic movie.

From my point of view, everyone against me is evil!
Agendas definitely exist, but it depends on the "creative piece". After all, they all exist to pass on the writer's/director's/artist's ideas on some topic, at least on some level. Peele choosing to make his movies with a predominantly black cast isn't an "agenda" in the sense that he's trying to promote something. It's just what he's interested in doing. The films themselves, as all films do, pass on some kind of message that he wants, through the stories and so on and so forth. Wes Anderson choosing the casts that he chooses is also not an "agenda"; he just likes working with those people and finds them working with his directing style. Again, whatever message is passed on through the films is another matter. If we diverge from those two, the casting in, say, the Expanse is not an "agenda". The playable characters in GTA V weren't an "agenda". And so ona nd so forth.
When it truly becomes an agenda, is something like BBC's Troy miniseries, which took Greek myths and inserted blacks in our very central stories. Aside from being historically, or at least canonically innacurate, it was also quite an insulting move. What is an agenda is the recent Mary, Queen Of Scots film where half the Court was played by Africans, Asians and whatnot. What's an agenda is the upcoming Netflix movie (or it could be series) about the Lady of the Lake where Arthur is black. You get my point.
You want to make Vigilante black? Sure, whatever, it's a fictional creation set in the [current year] (sliding timescales and all) and comes from funnybooks. I'll say "why do it" and they'll respond "why not". And I'll say "but why" and they'll say "but why not". And on and on it goes. Because, ultimately, it's not specified anywhere that the American under the mask must be this guy. I'll always think of Adrian Chase as a blonde guy, but if the rumous are true and Idris Elba is playing him in the new Suicide Squad film are true, it makes little difference. But you cannot make Daredevil black, since he's specifically an Irishman with tons of Catholic guilt. You can't make the Punisher black because he's specifically Italian. Even then you could twist them around and just make them generic something-Americans and be done with it.
But cultural myths and stories aren't cape****. When I see a black Achilles and some **** from New York is lecturing me on how "Homer" totes was onboard that ****, it infuriates me. That's an agenda. For what? That's a different discussion for a different type of forum. But I just want to say that Peele's films aren't agenda-driven in that regard. They're the films he wants to make. Same with Wes Anderson or even Spike Lee. Will I ever watch Peele's or Lee's films? So far I can say "not really" because the subject matter doesn't appeal to me. I simply don't care (Inside Man was good though). But that doesn't have to do anything with the people themselves, as they're just making the films they want to make, with the people they want to make.
They don't exist in anyboy's world from the ratings, but still, the "agenda" is there. But like I said, another talk for another thread.
Yes, it was brownface and yellowface, but it was akin to theatre and masks. They were playing Asians and Arabs as Asians and Arabs. This trend nowadays is Non-Whites playing Whites as Non-Whites. It's different. Was that practise not exactly cordial? Sure. But it was different than what's going on now. John McSmith got dressed up and played Xi Wen, as Xi Wen, not as Joxi McWen who somehow is a white guy in China and China is multicultural for some reason. This time, it's Tyrone Daymarcus playing Blackilles.
No, it presents a warped view of reality that makes those people accept said fake history as their own.
It really is. How panicked can you be to set loose an army of bots to try and sabotize the Sonic movie? Even if it worked, it's not gonna make BoP any money.
That and the Harry Partridge Watchmen Cartoon were great April Fools jokes. After those things started not being as fun. I guess it's because we were entering the new decade, and the 10s is when **** really hit the fan.I've never seen that Zelda trailer. I thought it was Jesse Eisenberg on the thumbnail.
I liked Sonic back in the 90's. He was cool. However, my boy Mario is my all time favorite videogame character. I wish Guillermo Del Toro would make a live action Super Mario Bros film, even though he's a Nazi white-devil worshiping filmmaker who gets his ideas from interdimensional elves that secretly influence the human race to do horrible things because they want to kill God/Us. Anyways, Sonic is cool. Harley is lame.

Right side, 2nd down: ''Birds of Prey made me feel safe?''
Well my safe place is between a set of ****s or a set of lower lips.You've got to be kidding me, none of those tweets are real.
