It's probably just because they're all females. If it was all guys people would probably say "just another shitty remake."

Star Wars went through the same trauma when the trailers dropped and the lead was a girl and shock horror a black guy..if it was the original team standing there you guys would be all over this.

you'll get over it. I hope so anyways.

i'm not even watching the trailer...i like mckinnon, hate jones, and think mccarthy and wiig are vastly overrated

do you think verb likes mccarthy?

i think verb would literally spit on her

i thought she was really good in st. vincent...i'd like to see her go beyond the loud, fat shtick more

I liked that movie "Spy" with her in it but that was more because Jason Statham was hilarious.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

then compare that to what they chose to do, which is give it new life and fuck yeah it's about time we see a film in this genre lead by females instead of males,(and that's probably why it won't set the box-office on fire)

which would you choose?

I don't think anyone around here is saying that. You're right. But the internet... ? Oh my how the internet is saying exactly that!

So my choice is between a hypothetically bad movie starring the old cast or a safe and needless remake with the old cast replaced with women (because fuck yeah?)? Why are these my only choices? Why would I pick one? How about a good movie with the old cast? What about a movie with female characters who aren't forced into pale imitations of male ones? They are just being set up to fail. How are women benefited by this? How is a lockstep remake "giving it new life" and not soulless pandering?

You've sure gleaned an amazing amount from a two minute trailer. Do you even bother seeing movies, having this amazing ability at your disposal?
