[-] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Wow thanks for sharing my channel

Is it wrong for me to get flustered when my children enjoy media designed for children that I, an adult, do not like?

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 25 points 5 months ago

Its not wrong. In fact, its important to explain to them that what they like is trash very-intelligent

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 26 points 5 months ago

Calling my daughters (age 5 and 6) reactionary for not liking Andor enough.

[-] dualmindblade@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

Confession: I tried watching andor (drunk) and couldn't make it, seemed kinda boring although I'm sure I wasn't fully present.. try again?

[-] TheGyattsMustBeCrazy@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

i’m glad chuds now hate things because they’re woke because now i can hate things because they’re lib

I've never watched a "Critical Drinker" video, but pre-emptively blocked their channel on the basis that their name sounds like one of those guys whose whole personality is being an annoying drunk, and I noticed they talk a lot about Star Wars and Disney shit, and I just don't think that adult men (specifically those who don't even seem to have kids?) should have strong opinions on media that is mostly targeted at little girls.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

I wish more adult men would take an interest in shit aimed at women of all ages. Walling that off is just enforcing the othering of femininity and there's already too much of that in boy culture

this could be a nostalgia critic line. not sure if doing a bit or have fought too often with monsters and yourself have become a hollow pedant movie "critic"

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

No its a genuinely awful show, the only interesting episode was the prison break. Only decent thing to come out of star wars recently was season 1 of mandalorian, which went back to the roots of star wars as a space western. Season 2 and 3 were muddled, largely because Disney wanted to do a cinematic universe at the cost of the plot of the show

IMO the only good one was the Krayt Dragon hunt episode (I think that was E1 of S2?) I don't remember there being anything as good in the first season, didn't bother watching the third. Maybe there was another good ep or two in season one but I'd have to rewatch to pin them down and I don't care enough to do so.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah the dragon hunt was the most memorable. Later they did something similar, having a handful of mandalorians saving a kid.

Fans are so weird and afraid. I get why, this is their community, and they have no self-esteem. Second hand cringe though. Grow some balls. Use your massive horse balls to form your own opinion. It will be fine.

I have watched this dude in the past before it became undeniable what a freak they were. The signs were always there, obviously, his main schtick is cringe af, but trash movie analysis is my junk food and his vids were passable sometimes.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 13 points 5 months ago

I watched a few of this guy's videos for a while after my friend passed one along once. I actually agree with parts of this take. He does have some good points about writing and direction, but always goes so far off the rails into his obsession with "the agenda", or straight up misogyny. I just couldn't watch them anymore after a few cause of that. Felt too toxic.

[-] TheGyattsMustBeCrazy@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The thing is, any of his sound critiques of a movie can probably be found in any other Rotten Tomatoes critic's review, but he regularly blames standard pacing and story issues with mid-movies on the writer being too distracted by being woke to attend to those issues--which is nonsensical conjecture and completely at odds with how the filmmaking chain of command actually works.

Furthermore, his fanbase just presumes that he is one of the only people telling it like it is and the critics are all libs, and aren't going to bother to check that "woke" movies fail with critics all the time (Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman 84, Black Widow all got middling reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and movies he liked like Top Gun Maverick got glowing reviews). It's the same indoctrination model as any other conspiracy theory, where you use reasonable surface-level critiques as the basis from which to pivot into "They're all against you and hiding the truth from you, I am your sole source for insider information about this secret unconfirmed way to control you with an agenda," and cordon off a captive ideological bubble.

However, it's as much an example of US decline as any that the popular conspiracies of the day have gone from being about outright weather control and global ruling classes of Lizard people, to being about some blue haired executives sneaking a gay kiss into a Marvel movie or dialing titty jiggling physics down in a Tomb Raider game.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 9 points 5 months ago

You've actually just said everything I felt about it, so agreed wholeheartedly!
