The trailer for 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' highlights Julia Garner's portrayal of a female Silver Surfer, prompting backlash from conservatives labeling it as 'woke.' The film, set in the 1960s, features notable actors like Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby. Garner's casting has resulted in heated discussions online, with some mocking right-wing outrage by joking that the Silver Surfer has transitioned. The humor contrasts starkly with the indignation expressed by segments of the audience, reflecting broader tensions surrounding gender representation in media.
"So they woked the Silver Surfer, pathetic," one moaned, while another added, "So woke culture reached there as well? And SS now identifies as she/her or they/them?"
"Congrats on the transition queen," one joked, with another adding, "What 18 years of estrogen does to a motherf**ker. Congrats queen!!"
Following a post on X from MCU update account @MCU_Updates comparing the Silver Surfer from the 2007 film and Julia Garner's, X users have been having their say, no matter how deranged.
The female Silver Surfer was branded 'woke' immediately after Garner's casting, but following the film's official trailer, conservatives have been frothing at the mouth - while trans allies have had plenty to joke about.
