New Politically Correct “Rocky” Sequel to Feature Lesbian Islamic Terrorist?
Never missing an opportunity to beat a dead horse, Hollywood is bringing you yet another “Rocky” sequel, and, yes, it will feature Sylvester Stallone . . . along with every politically correct minority on the planet. No word on whether or not it will feature a lesbian Islamic terrorist as a fighting opponent, but if not, that’s the only thing missing. Leave it to the far-left Weinstein Brothers, who are putting out this latest Rocky disaster.
When the sixth installment of the Rocky movie series, 2006’s “Rocky Balboa” (read my review), came out, star Stallone promised it would be the last. But he lied. In January, “Creed,” the latest in the Rocky movies, will begin shooting. And the storyline is stupid, featuring almost every politically correct storyline imaginable. The story is that the grandson of Rocky frenemy Apollo Creed (from “Rocky II”), Adonis Creed, is now a fighter. And who is his trainer? Rocky Balboa.
But that isn’t all:
Some of the characters include Adonis’s deaf half-sister, age 10, as well as a potential lady friend for Adonis who is a doctor of Indian descent; a guy named Joe who co-owns Mickey’s gym with Rocky; a former boxer named Pete, and a “Mickey-like” guy named Marcel, who’s Latino and assists with Adonis’s training.
Disabled character . . . CHECK! Disabled minority character . . . TWOFER CHECK-CHECK! Black dude replacing White dude, who is now relegated to “the help” of the Black dude . . . CHECK! Third World Asian minority girlfriend who is smart and helps people . . . CHECK! Two Latinos, possibly illegal aliens . . . CHECK, CHECK, CHECK! Like I said, the only thing missing is a lesbian or transsexual Islamic terrorist boxing opponent, preferably with only one arm, to round out the “We Are the World/United Colors of Benetton” storyline. I’m disappointed and I’m sure HAMAS CAIR is, too. I’m also disappointed that the stale, pale, old White man, Rocky, is even allowed in the movie, but he’s there as the lowly hired help. And he’ll be gone as soon as this franchise gets off the ground (IF it gets off the ground, and I doubt it will).
Don’t be surprised if the Latinos in the movie are illegal aliens, as Stallone said of the immigration status of the Latino characters in “Rocky Balboa.” And don’t be surprised if Adonis’ Indian doctor chick is a Muslima. Just sayin’.
How much you wanna bet the movie is a big bomb? This is what happens when Hollywood has zero creativity but still wants to cash in on your hard-earned bucks. Refried drivel.
Good thing Adrian isn’t around to witness the disaster. (In “Rocky Balboa,” part of the storyline is that she died.)
Yo, idiots.

By the way, there are reasons Rocky was a hit that simply don’t exist anymore. In the mid ’70s to early ’80s, boxing was a big deal. Now, it’s a dying sport, struggling to survive. MMA is big now–though not as big as boxing was then–and this latest Rocky movie is still about boxing. Rocky was a White blue-collar hero, a guy admired by Reagan Democrat types. America’s middle-class blue-collar segment is shriveled beyond all recognition. The factory jobs that Rocky fans worked aren’t around anymore. They’re in China and Asia. Remember, the original Rocky movie came out in 1976, America’s Bicentennial, when America was a patriotic, hard-working country. Now it’s an Obamaphone, ObamaCare country.
The country has changed significantly in the 38 years since the original Rocky movie. Fans of the first Rocky movie and its early sequels are Gen X-ers and Baby Boomers, and they don’t go to see movies as much as they used to. They won’t care about this pseudo-sequel featuring Rocky as a barely there shell servicing a main character who has nothing to do with the original Rocky movies. They won’t be nostalgia-driven to see this. And those at whom this movie is aimed–millenials, teens, and 20-somethings–don’t have any connection to the Rocky movies or to his character. There’s no nostalgia factor for them at all. I don’t think they’ll go out in droves to see this.
The second Rocky movie came out in 1979, when Americans were hostages of Shi’ite Muslims in Iran. Americans saw Rocky as a proxy for us against the world. We just don’t see that in anyone at the movies anymore, especially since so many movies are anti-American, and their protagonists “multi-cultural” enough to appeal to international movie audiences and not American in any way. In one of the Rocky movies, Rocky fights a Soviet boxer. We rooted for him against the Communist as the Cold War was still going on. The only thing that would match that would be if Rocky fought a Muslim, since it would represent us against ISIS and Al-Qaeda. But Hollywood would never give us that storyline, unless Rocky was beaten by the Muslim. You see, Hollywood is now hostage to every whine from the HAMAS CAIR crowd and wants to sell tickets to the 1.8 billion Muslims and other Third Worlders around the world who hate us.
So this new Rocky-wannabe, “Creed,” ain’t filling the prescription for anything. And it will fail.

“Good thing Adrian isn’t around to witness the disaster. (In “Rocky Balboa,” part of the storyline is that she died.”
Might as well drag her out of the grave as a zombie character and capitalize on that genre, as well.
