[@the_crypter]

@@ScaleroftheSentry On par for a next level moron.

[@stevenclubb7718]

Old Boy is at least based on a Japanese manga and exists in the shared cultural space of Japan & Korea, as the two countries do have a lot of the same problems that show up in their media. Before I started learning Japanese and really paying attention to Japanese media, I thought it was Japanese... and it still feels very Japanese in a lot of ways, such as the big reveal that makes things creepy is something that pops up in more of the Japanese media I've read/seen, while I've yet to encounter it in any other Korean media (I've only recently started indulging) Absolutely zero excuse for Crouching Tiger. While China was very influential in the region and aspects of their culture show up in Japan, the two cultures are so distinct I don't think I've ever confused the two, not eve when I was a kid in the 70s.

You know in original versions of King Kong he was ALWAYS carried over in chains...as it was an allegory for the slave trade. But God forbid today's WOKE Hollywood would risk including that kind of imagery since it would offend all the snowflakes...even though it would be entirely practical and serve the story."

Does Drinker think “woke Hollywood” came up with the idea of Kong being in chains in Godzilla vs. Kong? That’s literally a major part of the Kong mythos since the original 1933 movie. I’ll give him props for actually understanding that it’s an analogy to the slave trade and the racist preconceptions, but he gets a failing grade for interpreting it in true pants on head fashion

[@Zac_Frost]

True. You could see it as the allegory, but in the context of GvK, it was more to ensure the safety of the innocents on the ship. The only humans Kong trusts in that universe are the little girl, and the Doctor woman (and saying he trusts her is a stretch). It's not so much about detainment, but safety, as he's a 200 foot angry monster that can pull skyscrapers apart with ease and is very temperamental.

21:40 If there's one thing I'll defend the Drinker here is shitting one PETA, there have been countless incidents of euthanizing animals who did not need to be put down. Their protests are some next level gruesome, even going as far as to make a detailed comic book called "My Mommy Kills Animals" and give these to children coming out of the mall if their mothers were wearing fur, real or not. That isn't their worst protest in my opinion, but it's a pretty damn good one to show what they will do to even attempt to get people on their side.

[@Th3Birdman]

Yeah I know. I included it as a joke, because I thought him responding to them was just funny.

[@solvseus]

Former coworker was going on about them, and I noted I don't like them either, but then he started saying stuff that was blatantly false. I knew, because I'd just read some factchecking about them. Kept having to correct him, and he just dug in. Sometimes these guys just like to troll, to make others as miserable as they are I guess. I said, "I don't know where you get your info, but don't", which only made it worse. I finally said, "stop making me defend PETA!", and then kept saying it whenever he started, with anything. Sometimes you have to troll the trolls.

[@BlueGuyTube]

About Gina Carano, you should watch the video Nerdotic made when her character debuted in the Mandalorian. It was a while ago but i clearly remember how he complained about her being the Strong Indipendent Wahman, and the live chat basically agreed with him. And let's not forget Prey. I remember that "Predator against native americans" was a fan concept way before the movie, since the entire point is that you have to beat the Predator with his own game, by hunting him and being clever instead of using guns or brute force. But as soon as the trailer dropped, so many people complained about the female protagonist because "Arnold is a big strong man and almost died fighting him, how can a weak small chick have any chance?" These types of discussions hurt actual, genuine film criticism. I don't care what's the skin color of the underwater singing mermaid, i don't care if a woman wins a fight against an opponent twice her size or against several opponents together, because i saw these exact fights with a male protagonist and no one ever complained no matter how unrealistic it was. Why do nobody of these film critics talk about the cinematography? the shot composition? The editing? And why do they only talk about big blockbuster movies and don't look for other, lesser known directors and movies if they're so fed up with HollyWOKE and their big bloated franchises that they hate and said they're done watching (but apparently still make videos after videos when a new show/movie of said franchise comes out).

[@mattm8870]

Pretty sure every predator only got beaten because they tricked well outside of the one that don't exist.

[@shalinalewis2957]

Exactly!! 🎯🎯

[@ApexGale]

@@mattm8870 That's literally the entire point of the Predator as an entity. You don't beat the hunter by trying to fight it face to face. You beat the hunter by hunting it back. The original Predator was typical macho stuff along the lines of stuff like GI Joe, and while I love the ever living hell out of it I think Prey plays with the concept so much better.

[@M1keFoxxx]

Also Danny Glover beat a Predator, he's not exactly Arnold either

[@rafetizer]

Superpowers aside, it's more believable to see a buff chick, rather than someone dainty beating up everyone. Not sure why these incels have such a problem with it. I see Brienne of Tarth slaughtering all but the best fighters and I buy into it because not only is she skilled and well-trained, she's got the physique to compete. Similarly, Arya tries to perforate the Hound by ramming her tiny little rapier through his brigandine, only to discover she doesn't have the strength and the blade isn't beefy enough to do the job. (this is where I wish later seasons Arya had been better portrayed as a rogue/assassin, rather than a frontline soldier) You want your characters to be believable, you have to play to their strengths. It makes perfect sense that Gina Carano would be able to stomp a mudhole into a lot of dudes, because she has the physique (and I assume the training, never watched any of the series) to facilitate this. These guys just want to see girls smash pots over people's heads.

To be fair it's not him being racist (he is, but there's more to that specific thing). It's him stealing an old point, about how the og King Kong was an allegory for slavery in America, which was true for that movie. So yeah, he stole somebody else's idea (realization?) and presented it as his own. What a parasite

[@Iskander448]

I just saw this brilliant take. I initially agreed with some of Critical Drinker's videos because of the initial direction of some movies, such as the Kennedy-run Star Wars franchise. However, it became clear that his agenda was not about making better movies; it was about the so-called "Woke Agenda." Most of the issues with Star Wars were about the writing and respect for the franchise, NOT the characters. Some successes include Rogue One (female lead), and Rey was not a bad character. She just deserved better writers and directors. Unfortunately, Drinker was too lazy or unwilling to research or give a well-thought-out answer. Maybe he thought shilling the same formula to his audience would be easier. The Carano example was quite pathetic. I did not even know he had criticized her acting in the past. Regarding the ban, if the so-called movie buff had taken the time to do his research, he would have found that Pedro Pascal (the MAIN CHARACTER) had been asked to take down some left-leaning posts criticizing Trump- the difference is that he listened. The incident was simply an organization requesting that employees/partners refrain from overtly political statements which could affect profits or brand perception. What made this more ridiculous was that the issue was over COVID conspiracy theories. Disney asked Carano MULTIPLE times to do the same and refused. The fact that Drinker missed or ignored this shows how biased he is.

[@CheshireCatMystic]

I didn’t even think about the black woman in the Minecraft movie and assumed he thought they made Jason Mamowa gay for wearing pink or something. But now that it was brought up yeah, it’s most likely he had the issue with the black woman. Ether way, the Drinker is still a joke, and not a very good one.

[@solvseus]

This is what bothers me. There are legitimate reasons to dislike that trailer. Black lady was not even in my top 10, and I don't even like Minecraft. (don't tell my nephew)

I saw a comment (which eventually got downvoted quite a bit) in his subreddit that said “ Everything to criticize and you chose “wokeness”…you’ve been served a plate of raw cormorant poo and your main problem is that it’s got pickles on it” which actually sums Drinker’s reaction up quite nicely.

Has he complained about Hermione being race swapped from a black girl to a white girl? How about _Prince of Persia_ being starred by NOT a Persian actor? And that's just off the top of my head. If he hasn't, don't you think it's a bit odd that his critiques of race and gender swapping only happen in a certain direction?

[@teremin]

Also him suggesting "Nobody likes Homelander, nobody likes Stormfront, what is wrong with you?" Like there isn't a whole layer of the internet honoring these characters, a layer he is constantly way too close to.

I will admit, I watched some Critical Drinker, Knight's Watch, etc and fell into the rage hole due to my disappointment with Star Wars... but god they kept focusing on women (Rey) being the problem with the movie when that wasn't the issue.. It became pretty apparent that they focused way too much on 'the message' as why the movies are bad.. I got bored with it and tired of it. Felt like they were more intent on ignoring actual critical stuff to focus on targeting people and pushing an agenda-laden message.. but their shit can be insidious. Rope you in talking about the disappearing weapons or poor CGI and next thing you know they are spouting about DEI and 'woe be the whites and straights' messages.

Remember how he made one video about Andor's whole season? And yet he did a video for every Acolyte episode? to capitalise on the hate watching.

[@BenRai2k]

@@geckogeckogecko152 Yeah, because he isn't interested in talking about good stuff, he is a grifter. He claims Disney is negative and mean spirited but that is all he is. If it is trash surely Acolyte deserved 1 video, not one for every episode. And the one that is good, Andor, deserved more attention. But no, they thrive on the negative while claiming Disney is mean spirited, ironic.

[@BenRai2k]

@@92bn1 Why wouldn't he - integrity, maybe? But true- he is the definition of a grifter so of course he focused on the rage bait that will rile up the chorus of baying sea lions. Could have made vids for each episode of Andor, given us his 'amazing critical insights' of eachepisode. But he knew people liked it so he wouldn't get as much dollar because STAR WARS IS BAHD sells more. He is just as money hungry as Disney which he complains about.100% rage baiter for money.

I used to watch the occasional Drinker video but it was his review of "1917" that finally put me off. Despite the fact that it was set in the trenches of WWI and would therefore have zero expectation of a female character, he was happy Hollywood had not caved to "The Message" and, I guess, shoehorned a woman into the movie. That was my peek behind the grift curtain.

[@successfuljourney6703]

Platoon and Full Metal Jacket also had no female leads. Except for that one sniper ............

[@dcresistance]

Looks like you gotta do this with Star Wars Theory now Birdman lol. He literally used Tyrone Magnus, well-known black now "anti-woke" grifter, as his "I have black friends" defense to him being buddies with Nerdrotic, Geeks + Gamers, etc

[@hellraiserward]

I fell down the alt-right rabbit hole very hard after Disney Star wars, Alteori, The Critical Drinker, Mauler, Shadiversity, Nerdrotic, and Clownfish TV. It's brutal because now, whenever I find a new KZbin channel I like, I have to hope they aren't going to get political. What pulled me out of that sphere was a discussion about Rings of Power and a character's "power stance," which featured a woman sitting down. They spent like 10 minutes talking about this. This was just a woman sitting down. Another thing that turned me off was encountering one of those "rassist" people in real life. They spent an hour talking my ear off about how Luke Skywalker was meant to be an alpha male. About how Kathleen Kennedy killed Star Wars. They were also one of the biggest fucking assholes I have ever had the displeasure of meeting and got fired from our job for creeping on a girl fifteen years younger than him. Hes also dead now cause "covid was made up by the liberals." Those channels can talk all they want about how "wokeness" is killing hollywood and ruining america but i have yet to meet a "woke" person that's a garbage person. I've had the misfortune of meeting many anti woke people who are.

[@ibmohrleminen6970]

I am not sure that mauler falls into that category, as he is way more neutral in his commentry and doesn't talk about wokeness, so i wouldn't say his content is alt-right. But i will say some of the people he associates with are certainly in that category, which is something i don't defend. As i normally find their commentary very distasteful and something i try to stay away from which can be hard when they come onto EFAP.

YES! Star Wars Theory has gotten worse, and unlike Drinker, it's a DECLINE. Just 3 years ago, he was saying that "you're not a shill if you liked it, you're not a hater if you didn't" and now he calls random people who disagree with him "Disney shills"

8:05 it's funny that he's mad about the Kong thing. A lot of more recent adaptations of the story have been more sympathetic towards Kong and used as lenses to look at things like colonialism and the triangle trade. He's mad that it's there but like does he not want subtext in films does he not want genre films to discuss and explore real world issues? As somebody who enjoys genre films it gets kinda frustrating when people say they want it taken seriously out of one side of their mouth but deny any attempt to analyze or communicate deeper themes out the other. That said we kinda know why in this case. He nor his audience want to acknowledge the things being discussed subtextually
