>Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming reboot of the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise following the departure of Johnny Depp as >Captain Jack Sparrow is set to star Redd, the redheaded wench who has been a mainstay in the park ride since its inception and has recently been reinvented as a bonafide swashbuckling pirate. >It also makes a lot of sense to make the protagonist of the reboot female. Disney has seen a lot of success with female-led movies of late and changing the gender of the hero in the reboot has the added benefit of separating the new film from the previous five in a major way. Any male pirate hero is going to be immediately compared to Captain Jack Sparrow, but Redd would be harder to compare and so it would be easier for her to stand on her own. >Besides, maybe a reboot is exactly what the franchise needs? There's nothing wrong with a good pirate movie, and even if you're not a fan of the sequels, most would agree that Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a really fun movie. There's nothing wrong with the idea of a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, it just clearly has needed something in recent years that has been missing. cinemablend.com/news/2461595/the-pirates-of-caribbean-reboot-will-reportedly-follow-another-character-from-the-ride
They're talking about Beauty and the Beast. Because a feminine Belle and a swashbucking hyperdyke are easily comparable.
Anthony Perry
Hot
Easton Mitchell
How much you wanna bet she will have a black sidekick? Pirates of the Caribbean: Black Mans Bone
Aiden Brooks
That’s going to be the plot of the first movie. She’s going to be a pirate that goes after slave ships and she will free her nigger lover slave from Amistad and there will be a cameo from Calypso who will marry them in a traditional voodoo ceremony in Jamaica right before the credits roll.
Brayden Cox
shit, i heard they booted johnny depp, but to make jack a woman? they must love losing money. there's not enough fat feminists to go around who will go see that trash.
Daniel Cook
It's no secret that a ton of this marxist shit isn't making money kek. The point is to subvert.
Elijah Hughes
I'm just reminded of black flag, how annoying this whore was and how I suddenly lost all interest in playing the post game when she replaced Adale as the quartermaster.
It's essentially the same story it sounds like. she's a literal whore who rises to first mate on a pirate ship for no reason.
Oh good, a strong, sassy independent female character with masculine qualities but a hardline feminist perspective. Refreshing. You just don't see enough of that these days.
Christian Torres
> replacing deep with a white female
I'll only watch that if she is postop trans gender black Muslim woman
Hunter Edwards
oh, this should be good.
>they really pushed the progressive narrative in Dead Men Tell No Tales and look how that turned out.
> when they replace your favorite childhood actor by a random whore.
Tyler Martin
welp another movie I don't plan on watching When are we gonna get a dredd squeal?
Aaron Bailey
this cunt was the one being chased by a pirate in the ride I take it. Mmmmm...How powerful.
Dylan Davis
The sad thing is this may be what they do
Lincoln Torres
Female protagonist doesn't bother me as there's historical context for female pirates. Movies still going to be shit though.
Nathan Robinson
Hopefully never it was terrible. When are we going to get an adaptation of The Incall by Luv Besson or Nicholas Winding Refn (like he was saying he was gonna do a while back)?
Luc Besson’s recent movie Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets really made me crave for an Incal movie.
Bentley Wood
nobody cares for the reboots. they make money because of the name, not the actors
Xavier Roberts
*The Incal lol
The Incall sounds like a movie about seeing prostitutes
Gavin Bell
JAG Is it too much to ask for pirates of the Caribbean to be historically accurate?
...jhonny depp carried the whole francise to ist success because he played the jack fucking funny. just putting in a female xyz superstrong gurl will fail, because -> not funny … women cant into comedy
Come now, my good negro. She's a redhead, so without fail Hollywood is going to make her some color of brown you will find acceptable.
Evan Campbell
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dyke BBC Revenge
Justin Gonzalez
Yeah, but here's how they'll play her:
Ugly white old pirate: "Yar, wench's canna be poirats!"
Here, Captain Jack being accosted by an ugly cur would make a self deprecating joke and make the man feel stupid but not really be able to understand why.
Stronk Female Lead Pirate: *BLAM* *ugly white pirate falls overboard, dead. Rest of the ugly male pirates stare in awe* "Any questions about my ability to sail?"
Cue yaasss queens on twitter.
Luke Roberts
>reboot >a franchise only a decade old
Why?
Nolan Williams
Disney's doing the New Coke strategy with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Andrew Morris
the last couple of movies tanked or at least underpeformed iirc. and johnny depp is no longer some big name but i don't think some female reboot will bring back the huge numbers.
Jason Bell
>females in a pirate ship >not being gangraped to death by fellow crew members
I hate the female pirates meme in all media, specially in fucking World of Warcraft where it seems every successfull pirate ship ever was led by a female captain
Elijah Adams
Franchise is already dead after the last one
Nicholas Price
>she's a literal whore who rises to first mate on a pirate ship for no reason. she was one of the only actual assassins in AC4 both adale and kenway were just recruits by the end she was fine, and didn't take anything away from all the great pirate stuff,

Leo Anderson
People went to see that? I quit after the godawful third one, when they became so self serious and thought they wuz lord of the rings and sheit
Liam Morris
It's dumb that they didn't make Captain Jack an updated version of Calico Jack, the two characters were already extremely similar. Then, to still go this route, they could have made the new female pirate based off of Anne Bonny or Mary Read.
Isaiah Watson
DMTNT was okay, but I actually liked On Stranger Tides like it more than 2&3, it felt more like an actual anthology of pirate adventures, instead of just making everything a big epic trilogy shit that 2&3 tried. Stranger Tides is worth checking out, has very little tied to to the previous sequels other than Jack and Barbosa
Thomas Campbell
Wait did they make another pirates movie after the mermaids one? I thought that was the last one.
Ayden Sullivan
I for one think it's about time we saw strong female leads in movies. It's just not been done before, we need MORE female characters who are smart, self-reliant, and non-sexualized.
We need more, more smarmy female characters who show up men by being better than them at everything, and ultimately fulfill a narrative in the film that women make better leaders than men, which is TOTALLY mirrored in real life. Just look at what Kathleen kennedy did for the Star Wars franchise.
Dylan Morris
Why do you want to force unrealistic stereotypes on young women? Women are not smart, they are not self-reliant, and their sexuality is certainly one of the most if not most important thing about them. All of this biological, the sacrifices of being the one who spends nine months incredibly vulnerable due to carrying a child and the risk-aversion strategies it provokes. Why do you hate nature so much?
Luke Gutierrez
I was being sarcastic, but note the example. Ripley was a good strong female lead and they used her motherhood instincts in the sequel as her motivation, which worked perfectly.
Kayden Martinez
is non-sexualized just a code word for flat chested? she had multiple scenes just in her panties and tank top if the scene was shot exactly the same way, just with some big breasted lady that had an ass on her, would it still be considered non-sexualized? exact same scenes, shot exactly the same way
Christopher Powell
Fuck that satanic shit. Completely inverted the meaning of an originally christian fairy tale about girls and boys becoming adults, as well as boys being deceived by witches, yet saved by the purity of a virginal girl.
Instead they turned the witch into the main hero and lesbian incest confusion as its central theme.
Juan Wood
I'm not talking about profit. Disney could shit someone's hand and film it and make a billion dollars. I'm talking about overall quality. Which has been tumbling down a steep rocky hill since the first sequels of this garbage franchise.
Grayson Ross
THE S.S TINDER WILL SET SAIL FOR DICK! AHOY ME MATEYS!
Adam Young
This gonna sink into oblivion. Hopefully they will make her a coalburner too.
David Allen
She wasn't like that all the time though. I don't know if they picked Sigourney for Alien because they thought she was hot in the 70's, but she always seemed to me like a pretty grounded character, she's meant to be a working class broad.
>'m talking about overall quality. Which has been tumbling down a steep rocky hill since the first sequels I still say 1=4>5>3>2 that's not exactly a steep declining hill
Nicholas Richardson
major kek
Charles Allen
The goddess of the sea is a black girl that cucked the most fearsome pirate. What more do you fucking want?
Asher Lee
GOAT female protagonist.
Kayden Smith
you missed my entire point I'm saying others project "non-sexualized" onto the character, but it seems to be a shallow statement the only criteria for non-sexualized is being flat chested or just outright ugly putting everything on how the actress looks, not what the intent of the writers and directors, or how they film the scenes exact same character, with exact same scenes, would be considered completely different depending on if the actress is attractive or not
Jordan Roberts
But the main point of what made her good was that she wasn't tryhard like female characters today are. She was a normal woman, vulnerable, not above being wooed by a strong man, and she was mostly motivated to be her strongest when it had to do with her motherhood instincts, which makes more sense than strong 20 year olds who dont-need-no-man and are motivated to be badass 'just cuz.'
Ripley, at least in the first few films was not overtly sexualized because they clearly didn't use her female appeal to drive her character appeal, as opposed to say, The bitch from the resident evil movies or harley quinn.
Because Hollywood has no new ideas. Standard fucktardery.
Jeremiah Martin
Well you're not far off, but you forgot that 1 = Classic 2 = shit 3 = dogshit 4 = wtfeven 5 = eh
Charles Martin
She was, just not from behind.
Chase Morales
Man this is going to be so fucking bad. It's going from a goofy, retarded, unkempt, bipolar, manipulative fucker who fumbles his way through situations... to the exact opposite. She's probably going to be a 35yo ultra-feminist wine aunt who brags about cutting her husbands dick off, brags about how her life is so great without kids, and mary-sues her way through everything/has a pet chad who does everything for her.
Carter Sanchez
>Besides, maybe a reboot is exactly what the franchise needs? No the franchise needs a long fucking nap
Luis Diaz
if it's only white wahmen then I don't care
Leo Morgan
cool, lots of tits then?
Lucas Murphy
I agree with you. When was a reboot what any franchise needed, ever?
Christopher Baker
last two bombed hard.
Nathaniel Hall
More female leads is a product of making all masculinity toxic where any non-toxic males get played by women.
Asher Richardson
I don't remember 5 being progressive at all, unless you want to say that 1,2,3 were progressive. The only one without the STRONGK womyn trope is the 4th one.
Wyatt Bell
>historically accurate still has her tit
Angel Parker
It barely broke even when you count advertising.
Aaron Ross
Florida user here. Lived here a long time, still don't go to Disney and I can get there in 30 minutes. Fuck if I even bother to watch this.
Ryder Long
>This You can have a successful female action movie protagonists as long as they're well written and are not just a mouth piece for heavy handed propaganda. Look at the Alien movies with Ripley and the Terminator movies with Sarah Conner or even movies like Doomsday.
