God, go crawl into a hole and pull a rock over the opening “Karen Poppy”. No ome really gives a flying F what you think or believe!! Let the rest of the world move on and laugh or cry whatever THEY want to feel!!
What?? You know, the overuse of calling anyone who complains, a “Karen” is so annoying and cliché. Just like: woke, problematic, grooming,
Transgender debates, and Avocado toast. Enough already! Eat what you want. Love who you love. Worship what/who helps you be a peaceful & better person. Be kind. Clean up after yourselves. Learn to park. Mind your own damn business (and respect others who’s “business” is different from yours!)
Unfortunately, these are the times we’re living in now where not even comedy is safe from the woke mob. We all have to tip-toe around their feelings or face the wrath of the “Karens” (as Poppy mentioned); most likely can come across their rants on Twitter trying to cancel the actor or film of their choosing.
You will always have some one who doesn’t like, or agree, with something. And yes, unfortunately, that includes movies as well. Please release the movie.
Context is everything. I don’t think we can answer should they make this movie or not without knowing the context. What does the movie have to say? Every piece of art carries a message whether it’s intended or not. Downey jr. Is a smart dude… in this case I suspect playing a Mexican guy is probably part of the joke.. the same way having surgery to play a black man in Tropic Thunder was part of the joke. He wasn’t painting his face black and knows the history and weight that comes with doing so. I wish society allowed for nuance. We can’t answer this question.. because we don’t know said nuance here. My guess is that it isn’t a Mexican role, played by Robert Downey Jr… that could have been played by a Mexican actor. It’s likely not that simple and Downey jr. Is smarter than that.
The only people who say “people need to laugh again” are the same buffoons who make fun of everyone else but can’t take it when it happens to them. Don’t forget that white people wanted to cancel White Chicks, comedy specials mocking white culture, Kathy Griffin, and anyone left of Fox News. Now you’re crying about a bad movie you probably wouldn’t even have seen anyway. You’re the sensitive ones.
Jamie Foxx was in Django Unchained, that was quite uncomfortable to watch though a great movie. If that movie can be released, I don’t see why this one can’t.
The big difference is that those white people exposed your hypocrisy & you’re still blind not to see that. You guys canceled all kinds of things & even tried to cancel comedians for talking about trans people. You canceled Song of the south by Disney & the ride. You TRY to slam others still if they bring up something.
Song of the South wasn’t/isn’t racist. It features a nice old black man who was a FORMER slave. He entertains and helps a little white boy. Nothing at all wrong!
We all need to get over ourselves. I am a gay white man, and I find gay jokes and white jokes (the few that I know) incredibly funny. Knock it off with the “I’m offended” BS and learn to take a joke.
Noone ever said White Chicks shouldn’t have been made or released. There was no uproar from the white population… At all. Cuz they don’t care. And as a Mexican/Amerind, I don’t care what Downy Jr. does.
When you’re telling people that a movie shouldn’t be made, it’s saying a the writer should be silenced. Why? Becuz feelingz. Then you say that everyone else is sensitive? Riiiiight.
That’s a very small amount of sensitive white people. Most of us don’t care. I love ‘White Chicks’ and white people jokes are hilarious. I just think it’s so silly to get offended over some jokes and then turn around and think it’s okay to be offensive to others. Everyone needs to take a chill pill, learn not to be so offended and laugh again. I’m a 40 year old virgin and you don’t think that I don’t have to deal with offensive virgin jokes all the time. There’s a whole movie on it (hilarious movie by the way). Best phrase I’ve ever heard is “when you find humor in a difficult situation, you win.” Learn to laugh at it because it is better than being a miserable person your whole life. There always is a line that you shouldn’t cross, but I feel that’s only when it gets personal. If we can’t laugh at someone’s expense then nobody can.
Tropic thunder was Extremely Funny with Rob D Jr .This Movie should be released .We need to bring back the 90 s Feeling of Expression .U folks Show stuff of The opposite sex that half the world don’t like an Now u want to be sensitive…Please America wake up..
Being awake is not the same as being “woke”.
Just saying, I think(not for sure, not speaking for someone else) that’s what Mel meant, we need to wake up and be awake, not “woke” as it’s a trend and ironically they are more like sleepwalking.
I feel like the “woke” ones today are today’s equivalent of the movie “They Live” w all the subconscious messaging…
‘Obey’
Time for people to laugh and stop there moronic sensitivity issues! There comedians! There here to make people laugh. And these are 2 of the best! Release the movie and stop the political bs!
With all the butthurt snowflakes out there. Being so sensitive and offended at everything, “Waah I am offended, dam give me a break. They all need therapy.
NO – I think we need to burn books and these movies in the centers of towns all across Merica and then we need to go and brake all the windows of those insensitive bastards who won’t bow to THE way of thinking. These HATERS need to be taken into re-education camps and if necessary detained their indefinately. Perhaps we could have them do menial labor or some type? Utopia!! I am sure this will work very well – as it has never been tried before! All hail the woke revolution
It is so sad that even comedy suffers from cancel culture! I am appalled as to what our society has become when laughing at jokes and great role playing actors are frowned upon because someone had their feelings hurt! Grow up we all get our feelings hurt and we all have some type of stigma, yet most of us know how to handle it properly and don’t make it everyone else’s fault we feel the way we do. Take some personal accountability, take stock on your own life and let the rest of sit back and laugh as the world goes to hell in a hand basket doused with gasoline!
It is very annoying and you are very right about that we all get our feelings hurt so we need to learn to deal with it. As a short, puggy, 40 year old virgin, woman with anxiety, I face more insults every day. You know what? Don’t really care. Could care less about the white jokes too. I actually laugh at them all the time. Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle are absolutely hilarious. I refuse to act like a victim to everything. Even though I’m far from it I’m going to keep working on being a victor, not a victim.
That’s not entirely true, originally his mother is Italian (white). In ultimate universe she’s Mexican. So no he didn’t play a Latino, not unless MCU Stark is the Ultimate Universe Stark. Honestly I don’t think any one know which version the MCU Stark is.
The problem with leftwingers is they base everything off of skin color. I know several white Mexicans who were born and raised in Mexico. To them light skin Mexicans are white.
This fear of being ridiculed is the biggest farce. Movies are art and they are subject to your interpretation of it. The important understanding is the woke movement are judge and jury and tuning the movies that were great in their own ways. They should never have anything but an opinion and that’s it..
People i dont care what color you are ,need to stop being so god dam petty and sensitive. Comedians are just that they push boundaries.black comedians talk about whiyes and spanish speaking people all the tume. Whitescan do the same spanish comedians the same and so on. We need to stop being ao sensitive. Dont understand what has happened to this country and society as a wholw the last decade. It sucks with as di erse as this country is things tha5 8m see8 g should not stull exist.
I thought White Chicks was a cute movie. I don’t remember white people being uncomfortable with it. It isba certain kind of comedy some peoplendont like. For example, inlike some of the silliness the Wayans do in the Scary Movie series and some just lies flat with me. But I’m always going to at least check out the trailers and reviews of a Wayans movies. Geez most comedies mock white people anyway. Look at Adam Sandler movies or Kevin James or Melissa McCarthy. Those movies mocking especially lower income white people are their bread and butter. I dont think then main problem is Foxx playing a racist white cop either. It seems like it’s RD’s role that is the concern. I would love to see a White Chicks 2. The make-up would be more advanced and if it’s the Wayan Brothers again, they are older now, so they can try to pull a Karen move thinking they will get away with it because they are white and everyone pulls out their cameras and mocks them and posts it online and they get cancelled and it almost blows their cover. It would be hilarious!
This woke bs is why all forms of media is garbage and they are failing. They need to stop pandering to these mentally ill leftwingers who are the minority and go back to making good content.
As a recovered Alcoholic I respect the hell out of him and his decision to go public with his addictions-helping give strength to Millions in Recovery✝️!
Millions of people respect him for being able to turn his life around, and we are glad he proved the inspiration and strength for others to do the same.
Congratulations and stay strong. I hope you have a good day.
I think it should be released, comedy takes a look at what’s happening in the world and does it’s best to make us laugh to relieve the days stress. People seem to be taking comedy out of proportion and saying that people are offended, yet there are far more serious things that are happening in the world 2day that need to be addressed
Please, I still watch and laugh at tropic thunder. When did we start catering to 11% of the population and let them choose what 89% of us get to say or do? If they don’t like it don’t watch it as I do and adults everywhere do.
Why? Because new generation grown ups are adult babies that cry over everything? If thats the case, I’ll happily toss all my Marvel ahit in the trash. Typical coward move. Screw us real longtime fans that have thick skin, right?
An original member of the Brat Pack, and huge movie star in the 1980s did not become a household name due to Iron Man. What you meant to say was that after about a decade of dealing with personal issues, he made his long-anticipated movie comeback with Iron Man and captured the hearts of a whole new generation…there, I fixed it 😉
The Kings of Comedy are rolling over in their graves. Mel brooks, Richard pryor, Carol Burnette, Monty Python and many others of the slapstick comedy and offensive comedy genre are looking down at our country and laughing at how utterly stupid we are acting. Release the movie. Let the public decide
Movies are entertainment and are meant to entertain those that wish to see it those that are offended have the right to not go see it we all have opinions and that shouldn’t interfere with other people’s enjoyment
Release it! It matters where the subject matter comes from and it’s obvious from what Jamie says that it came from a good place; just want to bring the funny.
A movie is a movie isn’t it. The characters Are playing make believe, it not who they are in real life. That is what they get paid to do. Think about this if kids play dress up and dress up as a doctor doesn’t make them a doctor does it? Everyone needs to take a step back. I don’t know the celebrity ethnic background playing the part no do I need to know as long as I’m entertain. This wasn’t a big deal before why make it one now.
OMG….YESSSS!!! Come on, it’s a damn movie!!! And I choked on my drink reading that Jamie Foxx will play a WHITE racist cop!!! LMFAO!!!! That is funny as hell!!! And as much as we all need God, we also need to laugh!!! Those 2 together in a film, perfect^^
Bring it out. No movie can be worse than the real life crap-a-palooza that is the existence of Donald John Trump. Could we put the Pumpkin-with-the-hairy-hovercraft-hair in a movie where he “accidentally” gets shot in the face and dies?

I’m with you on this, all the “woke” and sensitive hypocrisy from cancel culture got old very quick.

People need to quit being so damned sensitive. We all need to laugh again without worrying about offending. Most people really don’t care.

Aww, wanna talk to the manager of Hollywood, Karen?
