Star Power #2
indie published (July, 2013)

Is there any reviewer that hasn’t commented on 2003’s disappointing superhero adaptation Daredevil? I’m pretty sure you can find restaurant critics who have trashed the film. My opinion: I don’t hate it but I can’t defend it either. Released by 20th Century Fox before it was bought by Disney and renamed 20th Century Studios, Daredevil comes from the Marvel comics that Disney also didn’t own at the time. Make of that what you will.
To celebrate the film’s anniversary Yahoo! Movies’ Ethan Alter sat down with the movie’s director, Mark Steven Johnson, to discuss what happened when making the movie and I thought it would be interesting to go over the interview and compare this with current Marvel productions as well as try to figure out why the film was as bad as it was. How much blame is Johnson taking and how much is he blaming on his bosses and/or the fans for the reception of this movie? We starting with comments by the interviewer in his intro.

It’s only 10 pages. How much pain could there be if it’s only half the comic? Remember, the job of a preview or ashcan or any other comic like this is to sell a potential reader on getting the series. So how does this do?
I could just be doing this to add another Mister Miracle image to the site’s media library.

Look, kids. CAPES!
I know, I forget he’s supposed to be bisexual as well. That’s because of how the entertainment industry is currently approaching representation. Push back against any of it and you’ll be called racist, sexist, homophobic, or some other flavor of bigot even when that isn’t the part you’re complaining about. I don’t discuss “woke” because to me that’s only a symptom of a larger issue in entertainment right now, the same old “not the existence of A but the absence of B” scenario, and it’s not even being done right or for the right reasons…or the reasons defenders of woke media influences think it’s being done.
The Critical Drinker just dropped a video defining what “woke” actually means, something lost in the sociopolitical culture war that’s going on. To quote a certain swordsman “I don’t think that word means what you think it means”. I’ve seen certain people not part of the culture war following the misunderstanding of the term to believe it means simply having a non-straight white character but as with most things in arguments between idiots that’s not so simple. So let this video explain the definition and then I’ll tell you why defenders of this stuff, and even some critics, are being played by the failing entertainment machine for cheap bucks or their own egos.
