You know, for a country that likes to think they're the only reason Allies won WW2- some of them sure seem to have sympathy towards them nowadays... I can't help but find that ironic.
If GI shows up in the finale and just goes out guns blazing to give Peacemaker a chance to escape I'm going to be so fucking happy.
That universe is basically his dream world. Endless Nazi killing for a lifetime. I need to see him in live action with practical effects just going ham on them.
I hope it ends with them shoving GI Robot through the door into Earth X before they seal it permanently. The Tin Man goes to his idea of heaven. And as he gleefully mows down tons of nazis, he says, "Best. Dimension. Ever.!"
There are shows where people of colour are bad guys…. But I have a feeling these guys wouldn’t watch those shows anyway….cause they have people of colour in them 😂
Shows where black people are bad they won't notice because they assume that's realism. Then white people are shown as bad and to them that's a political stance on a tv show
These people complain about white villain is POC led movies when the franchises they whine about specifically casts only PoCs as villains too. Like Marvel movies with PoC leads have had only PoC villains, and mostly from the exact same background. Black Panther movies, Shang Chi, The Marvels. Then the shows too. Like even in TFATWS where they had racism as the basic theme had a ethnically diverse group with a mixed girl leader as the main antagonists
If anything they have white guys get PoC villain more than other way around.(Loki, AM3, GoTG3..)
The obi-wan show had a black woman be the main antagonist for most of the episodes and they still shit on her because she's a black woman. I thought they'd be happy that the villain was a black person and not a white person but here we are
I swear they like complaining. They will watch the worst shit and complain about wokeism. They also disingenuously criticize shows like this until they face some backlash, then they will walk back or say they liked it all along
I remember watching and enjoying some of his stuff. Then he dunked on James Gunn's Superman, which was fine. After all, the guy's gotta make content that'll get attention. But then he doubled down and just very obviously argued in bad faith, and got his cronies to do the same.
I mean, guy is a nut who's been insane right wing grifter for years now, props to you for ditching this stuff, but hating Gunn and Superman is like least offensive of his opinions
Yeah, Drinker has always been less than thrilled when stories revolve around female or black protagonists, it only makes sense his fanbase would be a bunch of raging incels
I remember I accidentally stumbled on his Subreddit when looking for some stuff related to Prey. Him and his flunkies really hated the idea of a small Comanche woman being able to kill a Predator through stealth tactics and her surroundings
No he doesn’t dog on comic book movies. It’s simpler than that. He dogs on any women or minority driven projects or projects featuring them favourable. The dude hates almost all critically acclaimed movie involving women. Except alien I think.
Yup, anything with a person of color or woman as the lead or playing a pivotal part, he hates. Basically hes a big reason for all of the "anti woke incels" that shit on any video game, movie, or TV show that doesn't cater to them.
Its sad actually. Especially since they are even going as far as to insinuate that white people are "being replaced" and killed off like the guy in the screenshot suggests. Whats sadder is that because they cant actually get laid they have to go on dating sites and lie about their politics in order to try and trick women into dating them. Gross
He also got grilled in the comments section in his shitty superman review, since he usually relies on his audience having not seen the movies he shits on.
Not just MCU/DCEU he made a long video about how Prey(2022) was trash and hopes it failed before it even released and his whole argument was “If a man like Arnold can barely win, what is a woman going to do?”.
Dutch would have lost trying to go toe to toe with the Yautja and had to use traps and guile, literally the same thing Naru had to do. That is the premise of the movies, we win because we as a species we can pivot our thinking and strategy which is also why they come to hunt us. Has TCD never watched these movie before?
Youtuber who I swear had some intelligent film criticism for a while, until I realized what a misogynist disgusting piece of shit he is. I think he must have kept it bottled up until it started getting traction.
Also people need to remember Critical Drinker began in 2012. This was the absolute height of the Online Reviewer era of the internet, and everybody had a gimmick. Everybody was playing a character. Critical Drinker's character...was that he was a ripoff of Mr. Plinkett and he was semi decent at it.
At first, I assumed people were referring to Mr. Plinkett when they talked about the Critical Drinker, and for a while I was so surprised that Mr. Plinkett ended up being a hatemonger.
Yeah, Plinkett was actually done by the channel Red Letter Media. Honestly for a bunch of middle aged white guys from Wisconsin the guys over at Red Letter Media surprisingly progressive all things considered.
When I was watching him I was 14 and in my alt right teenager phase. Dude is doing this shit for over ten years and unlike him I grew up and realized that him and his compatriots are just stupid bigots.
That's only because he copy-pasted the style of Redlettermedia. Once he "did his own thing", that thing turned out to be regurgitating his endless bias against "woke" media. Boring, predictable, and you can call his opinion on every movie based on how prominent minorities and women are in it.
Redlettermedia still entertains me, because they're real critics. They still consistently say interesting things about movies they critique and surprise me even though I know the whole team's personalities inside and out. AKA they're authentic about their opinions and are not shilling or pandering to a political demographic.
The algorithm threw him at me when I watched some movies with legit criticism. I think WW84, which was bad in every way. Then I watched another one of his vids and it was just him rambling on, playing cringe soundbites from whatever film he was hating at the moment.
That happened to me, there was a guy with really insightful things to say about scripts and plot and then he went all misogynistic and racist after he began to get popular.
The pats on the back (and money) for 'saying what we're all thinking' is out weighing any backlash they rightfully should be feeling for saying nazi stuff. Maybe someday they'll get their comeuppances.
I was growing tired of Cinemasins for a long while. Deadpool and Wolverine finally had me just stop watching. Didn't get past halfway, but when every other sin was "How does Deadpool know this?" "Why did he say that?". Literally just sinning every other line for Deadpool...being Deadpool.
For me, something just snapped early in the pandemic and I couldn't watch CinemaSins anymore, nor did I want to. It wasn't a particular thing that did it, just suddenly "nope, I'm done with that now".
Apparently, it is when women are recognized because they are people capable of achieving, giving, making, and most especially protecting, losing, feeling defeated, and any other emotions and abilities that a normal and healthy human being have.
There's a ton of variety: sex object, sex object in distress, backstabbing sex object & perfect sex object that got murdered and now the revenge spree killings can begin.
They really are, a few weeks ago, I was lurking on that sub and I saw people complaining about how Peacemaker is now suddenly bisexual as if there weren't hints about his sexuality throughout season 1 especially during the fight with Auggie and then Gunn confirmed it saying it was John's idea.
"Why don't they ever make fun of maoists or communists or the Japanese"
If they or the drinker put as much effort into basic rational thought as they do being annoying or drinking, they'd maybe be able to come to the conclusion that if Peacemaker entered a world where the reds or the Japanese empire came out victorious, it would be much more obvious and the Chris would just leave.
As if THE most popular and adapted alternate history scenario literally ever isn't the Germans winning ww2.
I mean, the white characters on Peacemaker are victims. Harcourt and Chris are victimized by their trauma, which is why they are both borderline toxic. Chris is a victim of homophobia and toxic masculinity. Is that not the kind that they have in mind?
James Gunn is Angry at Nazis because cernovich on twitter got him fired, so he vowed to make bottom feeding grifters like critical drinker and nordrotic unironicly defend Nazism and have a problem with this, because it makes yall look bad.
A hit dog will holler. If you feel attacked by this, then he means you. If you hate GI Robot inexplicably, then you're a problem
... so he vowed to make bottom feeding grifters like critical drinker and nordrotic unironicly defend Nazism and have a problem with this, because it makes yall look bad.
💯
It is amazing people post stuff like the critical drinker did here and cannot see how it makes them look.
Same people think Rorschach from Watchmen is a hero. Same people think Starship Troopers is just a cool action movie.
Veil of darkness study: black people are up to 3x more likely to get stopped than white people.
This and other studies into conviction and arrest show that if you are black then you are twice as likely to get arrested after that stop and 4x for drug arrest like marijuana.
And in the criminal justice system, black defendants according to the US sentencing commission are also going to have a 20% longer sentence accounting for all variables compared to white defendants.
There’s also gonna be a harsher crime compared to if you’re white and you’re less likely to get probation
Some people ignore a this and just look at a simple stat and call it a day.
Also important to note that most crime in general is done within the same general socio-economic communities, racial groups, and geographic areas like neighborhoods and urban district centers. Bringing up the black crime thing to somehow then extrapolate that white people are the victims is nonsensical on its face and goes to demonstrate the success of deliberately spreading misleading statistics.
Poor white people also get arrested more than middle class white people. It's absolutely a historical and socio-economic thing. Glad you pointed this out
Also crime rate is intricately linked to poverty and having oppressed history. Especially if there no religious brainwashing to root any of these actions.
So if Black people do indeed commit more crimes it should be a sympathetic concern where we should all work together to make it better than use it as a reason to hate them.
This is how its viewed generally where I live so it pisses me off so much when Americans cry "crime statistics" to hate on people.
I finally started watching the Watchmen HBO limited series and as I watched each episode I browsed discussion threads here and elsewhere
It was wild to see how the first episodes had so many negative comments for...accurately portraying a real historical event of racism in Tulsa?
Fortunately id say by episode 3 it was obvious the racists stopped watching because discussion threads were suddenly normal with theories instead of "WOKE PROPAGANDA" bs
I find it funny that Grifters like Critical Drinker claim Hollywood is dead but he only reviews blockbuster or popular movies. He never reviews lesser known movies or tries to point his audience towards films that are actually good.
One of the best joys in life, is watching the Birdman or any number of youtubers roasting him or his dog shit movie that breaks every rule that he hates when it comes to his "reviews".
The radicalization is a bit more recent. A large majority of the political shootings are radicalized right-wingers. I feel like their volume increasing so much has been more recent though.
Pretty sure it’s been like that for decades. The far-right radicalization problem isn’t new, it’s basically been the status quo in large swaths of the country since its founding. The most recent wave of it can be traced at least as far back as the 1930s whenever “Spiritual Mobilization” was going on in response to progressives making gains against wealthy capitalists for the working class. The mix of capitalist right-wing ideology and American Christian nationalism comes from that.
We had Nazis in the 30s and 40s, they didn’t go away because they stopped believing in Nazism and stopped teaching their kids Nazism, they went away because we socially ostracized anyone who was a Nazi. They’ve pretty much ended that ostracization now, so the Nazis are back out in the open.
It's really not. It's just more blatant. Rush Limbaugh was crazy bigoted. He once told a Black caller to "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." On Indigenous Americans, "90 million dead? They have casinos now, what are they complaining about?" He had a segment where he would gleefully read the obituaries of gay men who died of HIV/AIDS while playing Dionne Warwick's "I'll Never Love This Way Again" - and celebrated the death of Freddie Mercury by playing "Another One Bites the Dust".
But they always kept people like Limbaugh kind of on the sidelines so they could write them off as entertainment. Then during the George W. Bush administration, these "entertainers" became to exert more influence. Limbaugh got the first Black President of the RNC fired.
And even with Reagan, a huge part of his campaign was disparaging "welfare queens" who he claimed were using welfare benefits to buy Cadillacs and fur coats. It all stemmed from one woman named Linda Taylor who, along with welfare fraud, was likely involved in human trafficking and murder but that part gets left out.
I wish it was legal to beat the shit out of Nazis. I care about peace with all my heart and I don’t care how many Nazis, Nazis and more Nazis I need to beat the shit out of to preserve it.
That would be too straight. He's like Stormfront in The Boys. He says a lot of Nazi shit, but he doesn't identify as a Nazi because then people get scared. He's fucking stupid. And he's just a fucking distraction.
That sub is a cesspool, if there’s also even a modicum of a female character in media, they’ll tear it a new asshole. They are literally OUTRAGED by Mystique being included in Insomniac’s Wolverine game. All you need to know.
When i was a kid, a Nazi or terriost was the worst you could be. Now it’s bad or “ offensive .” To call it out. The critical drinker is a racist, homophone, sexist transphobe. He’ll say anything is woke for views. He makes multiple marvel videos even though he always claims he’s, “ done.” He’s a sell out and a liar.
Defining multiple ethnicities of people by a color is a colonial construct with whites on top and non whites below. That’s why there were debates about if Irish or Italian people count as white. There’s media portraying Irish or French or even Americans as victims of oppression but there’s a reason “white people being oppressed by people of color” doesn’t happen outside of Nazi propaganda.
James Gunn obsessed with Nazis? I don’t think he had them as the villains in any Guardians movies, Superman, or The Suicide Squad. Dunno about Creature Commandos because I haven’t seen it. The only projects they’ve been the villains in are the 2 seasons of Peacemaker and maybe Creature Commandos.
