But somehow at the same time if you “review” a movie/TV series and tear it apart even with “critiques” that don’t apply or are just flat out lies/wrong you’re giving an “honest/unbiased” review

He is a grifter, bringing up "woke" when there is none, even when the movie is good. I used to also watch him and his look-alikes (The Ant Man, Jesse Grant, Endemiyon, Nerdrotic, Grummz) and they are all the same. Anything that has a diverse cast of backgrounds and beliefs as lead protagonists is considered "woke," therefore bad, even if the movie/game/TV show is actually really good. And the thing I hate the most about them is their stupid excuses: "sex sells" and "video games are a male-dominated industry" (as an excuse to create female characters as sexually provocative and in demeaning poses). Every time I hear that, I wish I could just throw my shoes at them. As a woman, I appreciate that they love the female body, but not every female character has to look like Jessica Rabbit.

@@Dizcreti I feel like phrases like “turn your brain off” or “just don’t think about it” are basically just condescending ways to say “get invested in the story and the characters.” No matter how much a person tries to tell me it’s fine, it almost always comes off as smug to say “I like like to think about the movies I watch, but it’s fine if you don’t.” And it just feels like a strange headspace to be in because I don’t think there’s ANYTHING a Marvel script can do to get some of those more ‘thinking types’ to care about the characters.

But I stopped when I realized all of them would despise me and whatever I made (want to be an author with queer characters), and that I didn't care much about the stuff they were complaining about anyways (like Marvel and DC). And every moment of their life is spent looking for things to hate, hence why they'll post 5 videos _per day_. That just sounds like a very depressing way to live your life. I'm surprise some of them even have kids when they spend so much time talking to a camera. And then they'll praise things like South Park and Fallout New Vegas for being "against the woke", when both things have plenty of examples that prove otherwise, and in fact, especially South Park, have been against people like them. All their channels could be wiped off the face of the planet, and literally nothing of value would be lost.

Ive seen an actual rotten tomato review that was just "i dont understand it" and gave it a rotten score

[@DylanoRevs]

There are three different kinds of people on this planet: - Woke people - Anti-Woke people - Normal people

[@KathrynElizabeth-j7y]

Woke people and normal people are the same people. Fail.

[@DylanoRevs]

@@KathrynElizabeth-j7y That's like saying Anti-Woke people and Normal people are the same.

[@aliakaza4938]

Woke people are the normal people .

[@gryficowa]

@@DylanoRevs So you can't create minorities? Censorship...

[@Ammy-q4w]

You have to define "woke" first to tell me what kind of people you believe are not anti-woke. The fact that you are saying woke equals bad automatically makes you anti-woke and therefore cringe.

Only complaint about the fallout tv show was the impossibility of a man speed walking with his dog managing to somehow not get shot by turrets. But other than that, the show still managed to be good. When I heard about the casting for Fallout, I thought that it makes complete sense honestly. because we can make the character we play as in the fallout games any race, or even make them male or female. Plus the comedy actually makes sense considering how pretty silly the whole fallout world really is when you really think about it.

[@corryjamieson3909]

About the turret thing, that's apparently a meta nod to the turrets in the games, so yeah they knew their material.

[@walkingcubkid]

@ wait, so the turrets were easily avoidable in the game?

[@corryjamieson3909]

@@walkingcubkid I mean, I never played the games myself, but I saw the reactions of plenty of Fallout fans and they all went like "let them cook".

As someone who is very much the film student type, I agree we can be very annoying. I would add that a lot of us aren't that bad. Films are our passion and we have a genuine interest in how and why they are made, and enjoy sharing that with people. It does manifest itself in a lot of annoying ways. I'll admit that I chat through films (though never in the cinema. I only annoy people I know), and there are so many people that meet the "pretentious film student" cliche to a T (I've met a few), but by and large, we're only partially annoying. Most film students I know can enjoy both indie films in a foreign language and a big, noisy and dumb action film. What I care about (and what most film students care about) is that they are made with passion, and actually try, which means lazy filmmaking is often what ends up annoying us (cough, cough, Disney remakes).

The "I don't care about Brie Larson at all and here's 4000 videos about her over the span of less than a month to prove that" Quartering. That's it.

I use to be one of these people then I realised that it is stupid to be all the way on either side. Both extremes are absolutely insane

I am a marvel lover and I don’t like when people say that I’m a nerd becuase I read a marvel comic but they watch the Mcu

[@Daralexen]

@jaalenedenshaw3283 Same for people that hate on non-toxic gamers, but they love HBO’s Last of Us, Arcane, Netflix’s Witcher, and Amazon’s Fallout.
