- Rose McGowan Criticizes X-Men Poster
God she's gotten annoying. He's a big blue villain in a comic book movie. Fuck you mean, no context?
Mystique not being shown getting choked on a poster isn't going to stop the fact that she gets choked out in the film. She would still be complaining had she gone into the theater to see it, and by that logic I guess she would have preferred for the women to just stand back and let the men fight Apocalypse. I mean, it's not like a woman DEFEATED HIM or anything.
And she should probably just keep gays outta her mouth because she's rubbed me the wrong way ever since her popping molly comment and here I feel like she's insinuating that our struggles aren't as real, or that we're somehow more protected as a people. Bihhh, there wasn't even a gay character in this or any other comic book movie this year to get choked out, and if there had been we'd not only have the smallest voice speaking out against it, but perhaps the biggest voice speaking up for it. FOH.
If anything, hunty, go after Civil War, not the franchise with the strongest and most fleshed out female characters. Dumbass.
Rose McGowan recently spoke out about a billboard which features Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse choking Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. The actress took to The Hollywood Reporter's Facebook post to call out the studio for its decision to promote the action film with that image.
There is a major problem when the men and women at 20th Century Fox think casual violence against women is the way to market a film. There is no context in the ad, just a woman getting strangled. The fact that no one flagged this is offensive and frankly, stupid," McGowan stated. "The geniuses behind this, and I use that term lightly, need to to take a long hard look at the mirror and see how they are contributing to society. Imagine if it were a black man being strangled by a white man, or a gay male being strangled by a hetero? The outcry would be enormous. So let's right this wrong. 20th Century Fox, since you can't manage to put any women directors on your slate for the next two years, how about you at least replace your ad?"
"I'll close with a text my friend sent, a conversation with his daughter," she continued. "It follows: 'My daughter and I were just having a deep discussion on the brutality of that hideous X-Men poster yesterday. Her words: 'Dad, why is that monster man committing violence against a woman?' This from a 9-year-old. If she can see it, why can't Fox?"
