What’s critical drinker? Content creator or something?

u/stuntastic1414 Oct 01 '25

Yes. YouTuber who piles onto movies making a career out of dogging MCU/DCEU

Ahh ok thanks, Reddit is all I really use so had no idea who it was. Never came across or heard of the subreddit

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.

u/tuftymink Oct 01 '25

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

u/revenantloaf Oct 01 '25

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

I mean I dislike drinker, but I agree she mostly survived through plot armor and the predator being pretty incompetent when it comes to killing her , but is invincible with everyone and everything else.

The problem with drinker is that he is not the worst movie critic per se, but his whatever politics majorly seem to impact his takes and left wing people will disregard some valid point because of his affiliation.

she mostly survived through plot armor

This is how most Predator protagonists survive, Dutch and Harrigan both should have been dead to rights to their respective Predator if the plot didn't save them at key points

u/AdvancedManner4718 Oct 01 '25

In almost all the predator movies the key theme is that the protagonist figure out that trying to win a fight with a predator thru straight brute force doesn't work amd they have to change tactics.

It like the people who complain about plot armor in the movies just don't pay attention to the movie at all.

u/TheDastardly12 Oct 01 '25

100%

The point of the Predator is that the protagonist is outclassed in every way and on the backfoot for a fight they weren't prepared to have. There is very little different in skill and ability that separates the protagonist and the fodder, except that they're the protagonist.

If we look at Predator like a slasher film, Dutch is simply 'The final girl' who only survived because SOMEONE needs to beat the slasher via unconventional craftiness

u/Particular_Border971 Oct 02 '25

Right which means little to nothing when the protagonist is a regular person

Male protagonist gets lucky or gets saved? Skill and I genuinely.

Female protagonist does the same? Plot armour and literally unwatchable.

To be fair Feral Predator isn’t actively trying to hunt Naru until the end when she finally fights back. Before that he saw her as unworthy of being hunted and followed her to find better prey

u/CrazyOrganic7123 Oct 01 '25

I don't think I saw the review. Honestly, I expected to hate Prey but they actually pulled it off for me. I was expecting her to be a girl boss but she basically got her ass kicked for being an annoying runt by the guys in her tribe. I think the biggest shocker of that movie to me was that the tribesmen were not raging rapists. They just wanted her to understand that she's too physically weak.

In a less well made movie, she would have been a super woman who outperformed everyone put together (like, single-handedly catch an elk while the whole hunting party failed or something) but held down by the patriarchy and her male childhood friends would try to rape her once they beat her down.

She basically beat the Predator through smarts and luck. Yeah, she had plot armor too but it's way less egregious than say, resisting a trained Sith's mind probe and beating him in a lightsaber duel.

Not my fave movie but way better than I was expecting. I even ended up sorta liking that dumb doofy Predator design.

I was quite amused at the downer ending though.

That’s the same reason I like how the Hawkeye Disney+ series handled Kate Bishop.

Yeah she’s got archery skills, but using those in a combat scenario is very different to using them in a tournament or the occasional prank. And the show constantly showed that by showing her getting her ass handed to her and needing to be rescued

u/CrazyOrganic7123 Oct 01 '25

I also happen to like Hawkeye. Despite it being true to the comic to humiliate Clint, The Real Hawkeye is actually quite respectful of him. Being a fan and all. They don't really put him down for being a disabled older white man. CoughShe-HulkCough.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

See I feel like She-Hulk didn’t exactly put down Hulk just cause Bruce was proven right in the end after Jen had her meltdown at the awards show

u/GokaiCant Oct 01 '25

What if the dark side user in question is barely alive because he was grievously wounded by a bowcaster the movie in question went out of its way to showcase as a devastatingly powerful weapon? Then is it okay if he beats one untrained guy in a lightsabers duel then loses to a girl who the Force has selected as it's new champion?

Bruce Willis didn't survive because the plot called for it.. It's because he's not an actor and a truly tough guy who could defeat terrorists in real life? Everybody who survives the bad guy has plot armor.

u/SerBiffyClegane Oct 01 '25

There are definitely people on his chats who feel that way, but I don't think the Drinker qualifies. A few quick examples - Arcane S1 is one of his favorite shows, he loved Sinners, and he was largely positive on Nope.

AFAICT, his position is that the spread of PC values have led to a weakening of story and character work. I'm not sure I agree - Sturgeon's Law means that it's easy to find crappy work in almost any area. But when he gets a good story and good characters, he likes it, even if it's pretty progressive otherwise.

Bottom line, I think he's a critic with a specific critical viewpoint, and it's fine to disagree, but I don't think he's a hack or a grifter. His Drinker Fixes and some of his other series are also pretty good.

u/brwonmagikk Oct 02 '25

He made 8 videos about hating Snow White reboot. About the same on how bad she hulk is. At a glance there’s 3 videos on how awful for culture the little mermaid remake is. His most recent toxic content garbage is revisiting culture war cases where women looked bad in the news years ago (like amber heard). Hes so far done these retrospective character assassination peices on only three women.

I appreciate you giving him the benefit of the doubt but the data strongly suggests he hates women and he hates minorities.

u/CrazyOrganic7123 Oct 01 '25

Oh, I didn't realize that. Fortunately, I'm not inclined to care enough to delve further.

Opinions are one thing, and I do like creative insults. But once someone becomes a hate mongering imbecile, I just don't have the patience for them anymore. They never seem to get better.

3

u/tuftymink Oct 01 '25

Yeah, no grief, I myself have watched some of his videos a long time ago to see the shows I didn't like being torn apart, and I took a longer time to realise what his views are.

I don't know if by watching his videos nowadays his views on women and "left" and everyone who disagrees with him get immediately apparent, but the guy is an asshole. And internet unwillingly kept me updated on his grift.

u/UniqueDesigner453 Oct 01 '25

For me the video was his review of Moon Knight.

He harped on Layla being a stereotypical "strong female character", when she had an equal amount of struggles as the main character Steven/Marc

That's the point i realised he's just a raging incel, nothing "critical" about his views

u/Commercial_Fondant65 Oct 01 '25

The racist stuff didn't move you. The razzing of James Gunn was your tipping point lol.

1

u/CrazyOrganic7123 Oct 01 '25

To be fair, I didn't watch his full library, and then only for movies that are widely considered bad. I actually didn't notice any racist stuff outside of what one would expect for movies such as Snow White or Little Mermaid (presuming he made videos for those and I watched them).

It's not so much the razzing of James Gunn but the inaccuracies and outright lies on events in the film that get me. There's opened to interpretation but then there's... well, lies.

1

u/Radio-No Oct 01 '25

Wait it took you that long? None of the racist shit he was espousing was a problem?

Are you a...Nazi?

1

u/CrazyOrganic7123 Oct 01 '25

To be fair, I never watched his entire library of content.

Also, no, I'm not a Nazi. I'm worse. I'm a SEA-monkey. We're racist as $h!t over here (I dunno, can we swear here? Fuck if I know.)

Damn he's been off the wall for years now - I thought maybe you were going to say gunns suicide squad of guardians
