So first off. It was very very predictable from the start that the two daughters would end up "saving the day".
The daughters are super cringe worthy. Bill and Ted were a comedic surfer dude stereotype. The girls take it a step further. They don't just take some mannerisms from their dads they are like a satirical sketch of their dads and it was hard to watch. They could have just been normal or said "dude/most excellent" etc without the whole weird body poses etc.
On top of that remember bill and Ted used to wear stuff that wasn't that strange or out there for their time periods. They wear super 80s stuff in the 80s and super 90s stuff in the 90s and now they again wear very period appropriate regular clothing. The daughters on the other hand wear these super strange outfits. Esp the short black haired girl was wearing this incredibly weird tight top thing that just looked so stupid and out there.
Anyway. So I'm no "man's rights activist". In fact o hate those people..but MAN did they try hard to basically remove bill and Ted from the movie and make it as female centric as possible. Before you dislike, hear me out.
1. Bill and Ted the leads of the movies are shown as utter failures and versions of then are even worse. Alcoholic, liars, thieves and inmates etc. Even their best versions suck, can't make any good music etc
2. They have two daughters who from the start look like they are being set up to take the franchise over. It really looks like the writers / creators would preferably just not use Bill and Ted at all and continue the story with their daughters
3. Great ones are now all female.
4. Rufus is dead and his daughter now continues his work while his wife has become the great one.
5. Ling Lun is a female in the movie (supposed to be male)
6. Greatest drummer ever? A black cave woman who makes monkey sounds.
*Not only did they turn Ling Lun into a female, which is culturally insensitive. They made a black woman into an ape like cave woman that jumps around like an animal and makes weird faces and monkey noises. How is that acceptable?
7. Daughters unlike their dads (who have always been shown as rather daft) are geniuses who understand quantum physics and can write the most brilliant song ever without knowing how to play any instruments etc.
*I legit thought the rapper was made up / fake but apparently kid cudi is a real person. And accordihg to the movie he understands quantum physics. WHY? I googled him.hoping he'd have some degree in real life that would justify it, but no. The first thing that came up is that this guy called Jaden Smith "the chosen one". I'm sorry but no one with anything over 1/5th of a regular human brain would say that unironically. Why not have an actual intelligent / genius black dude in the movie? It's not like they don't exist and there are far smarter (and better) rappers too. Also, the rapper is station? What? At least it would explain why he is so smart but then again they are using a real life rapper.
8. The (male) robot is also an incredible failure. So is Ted's dad
9. It's the daughters that manage to convince Death to join the band while B&T fail.
10. The daughters are the ones that write the song and save the universe in the end. Bill and Ted are "there for them" and "part of their band".
That doesn't make any sense! And I'm not looking for too much logic in a movie like this, but this is the dumbest (and most predictable) plot twist I've ever seen. If that's the case why does the future worship B&T? Why do they listen to B&Ts music and talk about their song etc? Why not a single reference to their daughters?
Also the song SUCKED like it was so bad. It wasn't even really rock even though we heard rock in the future (previous movies). And everyone is supposed to play an instrument. You'd think the song would sound like a giant orchestra but it sounds like some computer generated electronic song with some electric guitar mixed in.
To whoever makes these movies. It's OK to make a movie about two (white) dudes. You don't have to shoehorn in female cast members etc or try to turn every movie about a bunch of dudes into a movie about a bunch of dudettes. I'm sure many if not most women also don't care about shoehorned in women. Instead of ruining movies that happen to have male leads with efforts to shoehorn in women, write a good movie with women leads.
As a minority I see what Hollywood is doing as well intentioned but it's so damn stupid. Like the virus song that gal gaddot did etc. STOP. Just make good movies. Stop with the forced characters and gender,ethnicity changes etc. Instead make good newmovies about women and minorities etc.
