"Civil War" is Terrible, Boring, and Spineless (Feat. Tim Pool (Not Really))

[@blurhavokofficial]

I made this video in three hours. Thats how much I care about this movie. If I missed anything, thats why.

😂 how dare you take 3 hours of your day to not work on the Trucker video- I mean the Transformers!

Fence sitting: the war movie

[@axis1247]

It not even fence sitting. Nothing happens. Like literally nothing happens with the ACTUAL war.

Civil War? More like Middle War

[@Pink.andahalf]

I knew this movie was gonna be dumb when I saw them pretending California and Texas could get along long enough to secede together.

[@jabreck1934]

Developers destroying productive farmland the fastest in the country, combined with weather and disease, Texas agriculture is completely collapsing….. and no border. You can join them if you want!🤣🤡👍

[@whiteshorts707]

I think the funniest part of the movie is the beginning where that American flag wearing suicide bomber attacks Like yes movie you are trying to make us belive that a what I assume far right American loving person is willing to suicide bomb themselves You want me to believe that when there's a specific group of people that don't fit that description yet are well know for their ideological fuelde attacks that include the tacking of suicide bomb,bi won't say what group but I assume everyone knows That or that a far right person would do that when in the last few months we've seen people lit themselves on fire due to a cause an both times that happened they were very much liberal left leaning causes If seen more realism in fantasy movies

[@Tsmowl]

10:00 Yeah that's pretty silly. Once hostilities escalate to such an extent being neutral tends to make you every factions target. However noble your motivations may be. You probably won't last long without aligning yourself with a faction.

[@mitchellline4242]

It's like the people who made this movie has never seen a historical war movie. Rationing, conscription, labour's crisis. Even in movies not directly about war itself (such as shindlers list) covers this

[@krowbard]

I would have watched if you made an hour long version tbh

[@swagman2250]

It really is a feat to make Kirsten Dunst unlikeable

(Sad Tim Pool noises)

[@ab-gail]

*Reads title* Yeah that’s about right.

[@MajorSmurf]

Wow we really have been treated too so many *amazing* films/TV this past few weeks. Civil war, Rebel Moon part 2 of 6 and Now Velma... I'm honestly shocked we haven't all died from the shock of it all. Hmmm... actually maybe we did. I think we should check that we are not in fact dead and in hell. What possible sin did we commit to get those back to back?

[@calebpribyl5152]

Now I’m not the BIGGEST Zack Snyder fan however I do know that he’s working on a cartoon with a company called Xilam I’m such a fan of their work! (They’ve done Oggy and the cockroaches space goofs etc!)

[@5FingerBallad]

It’s so sad, because I was actually writing something like this almost two years ago, to find out someone brought that concept to a AAA budget and it flopped with no emotional impact is just disappointing, and it kinda discouraged me from continuing to write that story because now I’m worried this film is the first thing people think about when they see “Civil War 2” anywhere.

[@David_the_Psalmist]

If you spin it as a warring states period, that might help perception. Make it more like an American version of Sengoku Jidai and less a rehash of the American Civil War.

[@5FingerBallad]

@@David_the_Psalmist Not a bad idea, and yeah, it’s more of a graphic anthology idea using a modern Civil War as the backdrop, aiming to be violent with each short story covering a different aspect of how war destroys us from the inside out (from the political, corporate, military, civilian, religion and ideology)

[@David_the_Psalmist]

@@5FingerBallad And it’ll surely be much more interesting than this movie.

Shout out to team america world police They did american division satire 100% better

[@willlindell8904]

The end credits first image was a panel I made in American History Class when I was 14, and I demand my paycheck... Okay that's not actually true, because I have creative talent and never would have made anything that bad

[@Boricua_User146]

For a moment I thought you were talking about Captain America Civil War.

[@fd502]

Just got a copy of Blur Havok. I bought a paper copy it’s just how I prefer to read. Came in the mail Thursday. Because of these critiques I was sure it would be well written and I do like Sci Fi. It does seem to be well written so far. No surprise there.

[@blurhavokofficial]

I appreciate it! I hope you stick around for the sequels; I honestly think my writing gets better in the later ones. Lol

[@fd502]

@@blurhavokofficial Well that sounds good! I only read the first chapter so far. I do have a camping trip coming up maybe I will just go ahead and order the second book for that.

[@sab3redg333]

This movie has been making the rounds lately. Sounds like a lot of people have been elevating it because of the primise but not really the movie itself. Because this feels like something that's really half baked idea wise and wants the meta commentary to do most of the work for it.

[@Ghostfacee_619]

Fairly new sub here and gotta say love the format and the overall way you deliver vids. Somehow, even if it's a long video, it feels concise yet filled to the brim of genuine good criticism.

[@FriendlyDarkwraith]

All this movie made me want to do is go out and buy a pair of sweet red sunshades.

[@hezekiahsimon3341]

Hey I have a question, is this one of those those films that think it’s clever and smart?

[@blurhavokofficial]

Not in a really smug way; it just thinks it has something to say, but it really doesn't. It thinks it's a dissertation when it's really a casual conversation with a stranger.

[@shamrockdragon7634]

Was hoping you would cover this movie, this video did not disappoint. 🤣

[@grandarkfang_1482]

-lmao I forgot there is an actual stand in Jojo called Civil War-

[@Tsmowl]

I didn't completely agree with some peoples wholesale dismissal of a California-Texas alliance. But if the movie wanted to play it that way they had a lot of work to do as to how that came about. I'm not asking for a complete history just give me something to work with for crying out loud.

[@blurhavokofficial]

The explanation would have to be airtight. Anything less would be picked apart easily.

[@mitchellline4242]

Honestly this movie probably would've done better if they kept the factions more vague. Like "The Liberty Army" vs "The Freedom army" with no real context on either sides politics. As well they should've just ditched their attempt at being an action movie and war journalist plot to instead depict a simpler "war is hell" plot about refugees/survivors just trying to make it out alive. A good example of this is the video game "This War of Mine"

[@blurhavokofficial]

The movie probably would have benefited from having a different title. Something like "The True Story" or "Integrity"; people going in understandably expecting a war movie because of the title "Civil War" wouldn't have been let down if the title wasn't a borderline lie.

[@trashboat5388]

I'm pretty sure the point of Cali and Texas being allied is to tell people looking to confirm their biases that the movie isn't taking sides regarding current-day politics. It isn't about a hypothetical Civil War 2 that just happens to be the setting of the movie. This video here put into words better than I could... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYilq42Arc2Eqrssi=oj0GGO7dDEGwJxgZ

[@blurhavokofficial]

The movie titled "Civil War" is not about a hypothetical Second Civil War? Many people say this movie isn't about the Civil War (despite the title), yet no one can outright *say* in certain terms what it actually is about. (No, I'm not clicking that link; I have no idea where it goes or what it does)

[@someeejit]

You sometimes reference characters from your Blur Havoc series, will you be making any videos dedicated to them entirely in the future?

[@blurhavokofficial]

Possibly. We'll have to wait and see. 😉

[@somerandomdude343]

Its even worse than all this. The creator said that the president was fascist which explains why califonia and texas are working together. Like my guy you need to explain what the president was doing. Saying "But Fascism" is not enough to justify what is in this movie

[@downix]

While the movie is boring, those bikes are anything but. Love me an Indian.

[@Anarcho-Nephilim]

Not sure if you're into the fallout games. But If you are. I'm actually curious about your opinion on the Amazon series that recently came out? I feel like you'd go wild with that series 🤣

[@blurhavokofficial]

I'm a Fallout normie. Lol you'd have to go to itsagundam for a review on the show since he probably knows more than I ever will
