>>67662108
It's a movie made specifically for the SJW market and SJWs are already mad about it before it gets released. It'll probably flop pretty hard.

It won't. Normies don't care about critics or what happens on the internet.

Nah, its not the same.

BvS has chars with some international appeal. Affleck is know outside the US at least.

Almost NO ONE cares for modern-day the snl cast internationally. Its a comedy remake of a classic featuring literally nobodies as far as anyone in Latin america and eurasia is concerned.

It won't do well outside the US, and wont do very well in the US either.

Have you seen the trailers, even the trailers fuck it up. Sure its SJW bullshit and that's a draw but that crowd is bag of cats volatile.

Its a nostalgia destroyer, and people will want to remember the original untainted so they'll avoid the shit out of it.

>>67669365
It'll survive for a few reasons. I think most amateur internet commentators are past the point of caring about appearing sexist except for progressives on Twitter and certain subreddits. Check out some of the comments for the trailer on Youtube. Feminists will gloat over the fact that it exists but I don't think normal people will take much notice.

You're right about the political implications giving it free press, but I don't think the "progressive market" will be enough to bring in a crowd. Slacktivists generally pay lip service to their causes but will rarely put their money where their mouth is (see every black movie remake ever).

Like Star Wars, it'll get by on aggressive marketing and franchise popularity, and progressives will hail it as a victory even though it would've made twice as much money if it had been made with quality entertainment in mind rather than liberal pandering.

I guess there's also the slim chance that it's not horrific but the trailer doesn't fill me with hope. It would take a lot of (independent) positive reviews for me to watch it. I'm not sure who the target audience is but it isn't me.

This flick is relying on the SJW crowd.

They'd be neglecting their duty to their clients. It's common knowledge on other boards that they're regularly spammed with products (see /v/, /ck/, /fa/ etc). There even used to be an option on the report form to report for "advertising/marketing," and that was when 4chan had half the traffic it has now.

I wish 4chan really was still just basement dwelling NEETs. It was more entertaining before the normie horde and the parasitic shills that feed off them showed up.

This will be a "success" in every way but financial. People won't see it because it looks shit, and once word gets round after the first weekend it'll bomb harder than a terrorist on holiday in Belguim.

It'll be a "success" because if anyone doesn't like it, for whatever reason, it's because of soggy knees and patriarchy which supports SJW agenda

He's been busted for this before when he did it with 2chan. Now thatb he owns 4chan he can mirror it's content on "Sheeky Forums" and make it look popular. Generating all that phantom traffic means he can con people into buying ad space there. At least I think that's how it works. The actual content itself doesn't matter, but I reckon Hiro probably goes to /qa/ every now and then since they sometimes get their way.

/qa/ is pretty pointless though unless you want to laugh at all the newfags being triggered about the existence of /pol/ and all the nasty words used by literal children on /v/.

They will but there are already too many split factions between older girls that love it, and the overly annoyed at everything crowd that have already denounced the film totally because the black one isn't a scientist too.

> On what board then
Honestly probably /pol/. Sure it's pretty vile board but if it's a popular and current enough topic you will have input from all different flavors. Sure they'll eventually scream at each other but it can be fun and has a way of weeding out impossible-to-back ideas and facts.

>4chan

It's all constantly rotating user input so threads wax and wane with everything from the hour of the day to the weekend. Quality is always hit or miss. All my threads die.

> I've never been downvoted besides once going to a feminist board

But here even a shitpost is visible for anyone that wants to read it. There is no encouragement outside of getting (You's) which is really none at all. But that's what makes it a discussion-oriented medium instead of some online placard pillared up group think and countless deleted comments.
>>
>>67672059
Reddit's good for funny/weird/interesting gifs and videos as well. 4chan used to share the best content from around the web but I genuinely think Reddit does that better now, because on some subreddits you get genuine quality being upvoted so you don't have to wade through as much shit.

It's not as good as 4chan for OC and discussion because only "hilarious" or "right on" content (puns, references, virtue signalling) gets upvoted and "controversial" opinions get censored/downvoted, which makes most of it predictable and stale. They do have some great video repost subreddits though and there are some "red pilled" subreddits out there. The popular forums have definitely become much less "progressive" in the last year or two.
