Like I remember when Solo: A Star Wars Story was coming out, and a bunch of the “anti-woke” crowd were calling the film “Soylo” and insisting the movie would have SJW propaganda when…it turned out to not really have any of that in it? People got mad about Reva in the Kenobi show being “woke” when her character, again, didn’t really have or say or do anything “woke” apart from the fact that she was played by a black actress. The story would have been the exact same had Reva been played by a white guy.

Now people are going after the new Indiana Jones movie for reasons that aren’t even true? Like insisting Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character snarks at Indy for “stealing from indigenous people” (turns out that line isn’t even said in the actual scene if you watch it on YouTube), spreading fake leaks about how PWB’s character goes back in time and takes Indy’s place after he gets killed off to bring in a new franchise with a ~female Indiana Jones~ (not even remotely close to how the actual movie apparently ends), etc. Meanwhile people who saw the movie are saying her character is a quippy female sidekick like Indy has in other movies, the difference being that she’s his goddaughter, not a love interest this time.
