Awake not Woke!

Where's Dulcinea?

Lead white male has a black wife for the mixed race check mark. The sheriff is black. Tons of DEI casting. All the black people are good and all the white people are evil except the white husband. Racist black wife says a small town is off because she only saw 2 black people and they were working the drive thru. She then calls the black sheriff an uncle tom and says he's on someone's payroll. Then a pickup truck with a rebel flag in the back almost runs them of the road. They get home and a bunch of white men break into their house and say they want them out of town. They than wrap a rope around the black wife's neck and look for a tree. This is within the first 10 minutes of this trash. Also of note was a the very beginning the white bad guys are shown attacking a house at night wearing all black with black masks and the leader shows up wearing a bright red hat. Pretty obvious what the on the nose messaging is here. This isn't a movie, it's woke political propaganda of the worst kind. The acting is as bad as it gets, the only story is black people are good and victims of the evil white man especially from a certain political side.

5 minutes in and there is a mixed race lesbian marriage proposal. The head of the Spanish intelligence is female, the badass Columbian female agent who has no problem absorbing punches and beating up much larger men sometimes multiple at once. There are a lot of badass females in general scattered about. A script so generic, cliché and unoriginal it's probably A.I. written. The acting is average but the action scenes if you can call them that are so boring and bland it's not even worth watching for that. The car chase scenes are slow and uneventful. Really nothing here worth watching in my opinion.

Slight distractions of wokeness on the spider web

After seeing this movie and putting my thoughts on the backburner I have this to say. I have not seen an MCU film since the film’s prequel and as a whole not since Avengers: Endgame, mainly because of how woke it is becoming. That being said, this film is less woke than its contemporaries. Since MJ is still portrayed by the actress as prior films, race switching was unavoidable and some leaders of color are treated with respect compared to others; although, there is intersectionality regarding race and gender when it comes to female leaders. Hypocritically, outside of the Hulk, Spider-Man, Punisher and Ned, not every male character gets a chance to be seen outside of a narrow view. In general, some feminist superiority is shown when it comes to leaders and MJ’s role in handling Peter’s emotional turmoil when she comes back into his life. I won’t spoil much, but feminist power also makes a major plot point and there is talk of how one should not let other people’s views of her powers make her a monster or not. Aside from that, the film is enjoyable as far as Peter’s heroics and plot are concerned. His actor gets a chance to shine to play the role of either Peter or Spider-Man in the long line of films that explore what it means to be either one of the other.
