Critically Sober

@TexasVsWorld @TheMarySue Yes Commando is very homosexual.

@Critsober @TheMarySue

Milly Alcock is right and all the men angrily posting about her are proving her point! themarysue.com/supergirl-mill…

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @mjarbo One woman army? Oh like Yeoh in Magnificent Warriors. youtu.be/COlSNDK8L_I?si…

@Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo If it came out today, Vasquez would be a one-woman army, probably the main character, and she definitely wouldn’t die like she does.

"The Message." That’s the grift. That’s the Critical Drinker's entire business model summed up in a two-word calling card. But it's not just him. It's Nerdrotic. It's Geeks and Gamers. It's the Side Scrollers podcast, Sargon of Akkad, and that entire right-wing pop-culture outrage ecosystem. They don't even have to define what it is, or, like most anti-woke reviewers, actually care enough to engage with the narrative mechanics of a movie or game. It’s just a convenient straw man. The grift runs on this manufactured outrage. Instead of offering a real community to guys who miss the simplicity of the 80s and 90s, they offer a catchphrase. They blame a changing, diverse pop culture landscape to keep you isolated in the dark, hunting for a reason to be angry at a screen for two hours rather than just participating in society. This is a necessary cycle to break if you ever want to actually enjoy escapism again. Is "The Message" a real, foundational critique of modern storytelling? God no. But does it work to keep people angry and clicking? Hell yes it does. The problem isn't with modern filmmakers, it's with these outrage peddlers who DO NOT HAVE their fingers on the pulse of society at all. Give it a few years, and they’ll all be relegated to Third Rate, small-time comic conventions, sitting at fold-out tables where isolated guys pay them five dollars just to "say the line."

Marvel overproduced MCU movies. A re-evaluation of the role of women was inevitable. That's what happens when so much of a cinemaic industries output becomes action. We know this because it kept happening in Hong Kong for 30 years. It's how Michelle Yeoh got her opportunity to become an action star in the 1980s. The Critical Drinker is an ignorant lunatic. youtu.be/JG-nscsHO1I?si…

@Critsober @TheMarySue Where and who is losing their minds? Take your meds.

@TheMarySue Ah and I get blocked again by another coward.

@TheMarySue So many men losing their minds over some tame girlbossery.

@Exorius84 @TheMarySue

@Critsober @TheMarySue Nobody was saying anything then that girl comes out and starts talking about misogyny. Everybody finds its cringe and start mocking the whole situation. And now you are losing your mind over it while the rest just waits to gloat when the movie tanks just stick it to the freaks.

@chainer2111 @Doncha_Ngo @mjarbo A history that Drinker's content has tried to erase in advancing his conspiracy theories about modern Hollywood.

@Critsober @Doncha_Ngo @mjarbo For folks not i the know: Yes Madam ( 1985 ) was the first lead role for Michelle Yeoh ( and Cynthia Rothrock ) Could make the argument its the most influential women's action movie of all time. It started the "Girls with Gun" genre that would rock the 80s and 90s

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @mjarbo Linda was basically a damsel in T1 and Alien is a Sci/Fi Horror.

@Critsober @Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @mjarbo Do you notice how you guys always have to default to the second Terminator movie and the second Alien movie for the purposes of your argument? Can you see any reason at all why that fact alone undercuts the point you believe you’re making?

I'm pleased to announce The Critical Drinker has blocked me because I posted about "the black movie". Of course he didn't block the racists responding to my post. They pay his bills.

@Squirrel4peanut @TheCriticalDri2

@Critsober @TheCriticalDri2 That movie sucked. And no black guy sat through it because it was dead ass boring. Most realistic part was when the two black criminals came to town, went shopping, came back to see other black criminals looting their car, and shot them in the street. Now that’s black culture.

Amazing what can happen when you produce good movies, isn't it?

@BlankEthan85350 @deuhdg31277 @TheCriticalDri2 That's literally 90% of Drinker's reviews on his main channel.

@deuhdg31277 @Critsober @TheCriticalDri2 Because he didn’t like it and didn’t think it was good

@TheCriticalDri2 Just some movies never coming to EFAP.

@AndIllWhisperNo @TheCriticalDri2 And now you know why Captain Marvel happened.

@Critsober @TheCriticalDri2 Because Hollywood is incapable of making movies where things don't explode that anyone wants to watch anymore?

@AndIllWhisperNo @TheCriticalDri2 Gee you wonder why women struggle to find roles outside the action genre.

@Critsober @TheCriticalDri2 An okay movie that's vastly overhyped. However, given Hollywood used to put out 2-3 movies a week as good or better (except maybe in January), also a sign of how far they've fallen.

@deuhdg31277 @TheCriticalDri2 Second channel. Under 5 minutes. To pretend like he acknowledged it.

@Critsober @TheCriticalDri2 Wonder why he ignored this universally praised film by audiences & critics that made tons of money last year? I can’t seem to figure it out, huh.

@Doncha_Ngo @mjarbo

@Critsober @mjarbo No, it means what it says. Subtext is for cowards.

@8trius @JCStatsBoi @TheCriticalDri2

@Critsober @JCStatsBoi @TheCriticalDri2 Of all GIFs you could have chosen to try and tell us we are delusional for our take on Hollywood..,

Lol, that's interesting since he was VERY excited to work with me and claimed to be a big fan when it benefitted him. Now that he's trying to break into TV, suddenly he's filled with "regret". Good luck sucking all that Hollywood dick, buddy. Hope it's worth it.
