    crtiical drinker,

    I agree with the vast majority of his critiques, none of those movies are good or have good writing.
    And he’s the first to point out examples of good female leads like Sarah Connor and Elen Ripley, as well as diversity done right like Arcane.

    But hey, if you think most of the shit hollywood’s been shitting out in the past decade is good, all the more happiness to you i guess.

    Tangentially, he seems to be a right-wing moron when he’s not talking about movies though, at least in one instance i saw him defensing poor Charlie Kirk; but i tend to stick to the movie critics and not the hour long open bars so maybe that was a one-off.

      The problem with his example of good female leads is that they’re 40 years old now. So in 40 years of movies, no other female character was worth mentioning?

      I have my doubts that Sarah and Ripley would be bastions of “Diversity Done Right” if their movies had been released for the first time within these last 10 years. The consensus would be more like “Typical, the males die and the woman lives. What a load of anti-men Hollywood DEI bollocks”
