The evil perpetrators were female. So it's social justice messaging when women are good guys (Star Wars) and social justice messaging when they are bad guys (Bright)? Or is the concern that Elves hate Orcs and persecute them? Or is the concern that Orcs are supposed to be persecuted because that's the natural balance (Elf Power!)?
There are three classes of "people" in this movie, and humans are in the middle. Is the social justice messaging that humans are the lapdogs of the elves? That humans treat Orcs as badly as the elves (Orc Lives Matter!)? Or that the Orcs deserve it for serving the Dark Lord? Are we seriously being offended by a fantasy movie? Are we snowflakes?

I didn't find it offensive. I'm able to tolerate the level of leftwing moralizing most movies contain. I just thought the "it's just a fantasy movie" was a worthless excuse.

So you are SJW defending the viewpoint that the movie has a SJW bent, and yet you don't know what it was? Yay for you!
Let's all reserve the right to be offended by everything and bitch and moan about it while we're sharing stories about our periods! Yay!

Whatever. It's just foolish to suggest that you can't push an agenda through a fantasy movie. Maybe some people just can't see that.

My point, which I thought was rather obvious, was that taking offense to any agenda in this movie takes a ridiculous level of reach and requires an immense level of fear or paranoia.
What's foolish is to see an agenda around every corner. Because...aliens. Seriously. Please tell me what the agenda is.

But as far as actual criticism, this movie felt like bad Shadowrun fan fiction. |

Thought it sucked tbh. The director (David Ayer) is so hit or miss for me. I can't believe this is from the same guy that directed Fury & End of Watch (two excellent films ) and then he shits the bed with Suicide Squad & Bright. Very puzzling .
And I saw that Netflix has a sequel ready for Bright...smh. |

It's always about race with you people. It could just as easily be about caste systems in general, such as India's or medieval feudal lords, nobles, merchants, and peasants. Stop being a snowflake. Damn cucks.
