ANOTHER DISNEY ACTRESS SEEMS DETERMINED TO TANK HER MOVIE: Vanessa Kirby Confirms Fantastic Four: First Steps Explores Gender Politics With Sue Storm.
Kirby spoke with Entertainment Weekly saying, “If you played an exact ’60s Sue today, everyone would think she was a bit of a doormat. So figuring out how to capture the essence of what she represented to each generation, where the gender politics were different, and embody that today, was one of the greatest joys of this.”
The idea that Sue Storm was a doormat in the early Fantastic Four comics is ridiculous. In the second issue of Fantastic Four, she turns invisible and breaks herself free from a federal detainment facility.
Later in the issue she works with the team to take out the Skrulls who have been posing as them and framing them for various crimes.
As Michael Walsh tweets to the above headline, “Translation: Please don’t go see this movie.” And that’s too bad, because as I wrote in February, the Googie-inspired production design looked fun in the trailer. But hearing the words “Gender Politics,” instead of mindless summer popcorn superhero flick where everything blows up, does not promise a fun afternoon at the movies.

Ireland is being plundered by a small group of Irish families, banks and foreign investors. They are making billions for housing migrants through a network of shadowy offshore companies.
This industry is backed up by an NGO complex that employs 200,000 people and also costs us billions. Its purpose is to dumb us down and convince Irish people that being replaced in our own homeland is normal.
The police and judicial system are also onboard. Enforcing illegitimate laws passed by compromised politicians who serve the EU. Foreigners even get special privileges under Irish law.
What’s happening to Ireland is completely unnatural. Dumping people from African and Islamic countries into an ancient and homogeneous society is the quickest way of causing that society to collapse.
Trust is low, cohesion is gone and people from the 3rd world are walking straight into our country without even so much as medical screening. HIV, typhoid and diphtheria are becoming more common in Ireland.
None of us are safe.
Plus the added strain these migrants place on our housing market, education and healthcare systems cannot be ignored.
Those of us older than 20 remember the old Ireland. An Ireland with a relaxed pace of life and high trust communities.
We have a responsibility to maintain that version of Ireland and hand it to the next generation.
Yes.
