IGN gave the recent Tarzan movie a demerit for perpetuating 'White Savor Syndrom'. Holy shit, really? Ghost in the Shell was dragged thru the mud for casting the biggest female actress today in a role they felt should have been Asian.

So while I'm glad that WW could in fact turn around DCEU's quality slump, I have to be aware that today's culture critics will inflate their reviews based on shallow shit. Terms like pace and structure are being replaced by 'importance' and 'relevance'. Jesus.
Iron Fist the guy they got to play him is just...ugh. Skin color wasn't my concern. I was far more interested in everyone else around him and the show overall was just a chore to get through.
