Cephalopod Primus (Thade Baez)🇬🇧🇺🇸

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo Yes, Aliens, where Ripley tells a Marine Lieutenant what to do, frequently yells at Hudson and basically took charge as a private citizen, a military operation.

@HelloHumans6767 @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo Clearly not. I’m talking about Aliens, by James Cameron. I dunno what movie you guys are referring to, but it ain’t that one.

"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."

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo Until she is one

@Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo You’re making it sound as if she doesn’t need the marines there at all. She explicitly says she is not a soldier, and the action bears this out.

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo I can quote both movies.

@Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo lol, She does not. Are you talking about the second movie? Aliens? Have you actually seen it?

@exploding0 @NewAgeNihilism @mjarbo @TheCriticalDri2 Son, I'm in my early 50's. You fucking Jokers can't handle the truth or somebody disagreeing with you.

@HelloHumans6767 @NewAgeNihilism @mjarbo @TheCriticalDri2 You're probably too young to remember Siskel and Ebert but even they knew when a movie was being cheap and just existed to sell a product or idea to the audience. Drinker and Nerdrotic just recognize this trend and point it out where they see it and mock it.

@Suburban_Dad You don't believe in moderation.

Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars

@exploding0 @NewAgeNihilism @mjarbo @TheCriticalDri2 Those people , Drinker, Nerdrotic, and the like are not "Critics" they are grifty "Culture Warriors" who milk you lot for anger money. Critics are guys like Cody Leach. Or in the old days Siskel and Ebert.

@HelloHumans6767 @NewAgeNihilism @mjarbo @TheCriticalDri2 You don't understand why we have critics.

@Suburban_Dad @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo No, not even close, you ignorant, agenda driven, wet end.

@HelloHumans6767 @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo Bad movies being number 1 on the list.

@Suburban_Dad @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo Yes and I explained it but your narrow minded agenda won't allow you to listen. I have actually talked to theatre owners and found out tge real reason for the loss of money to theatres. It isn't "wokeness" or "The MESSAGE!!!!"

@HelloHumans6767 @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo Movie ticket sales. Notice the trend?

@Suburban_Dad @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo Ticket sales have been going down because of many reasons, not the least of which is the advent of streaming services

@HelloHumans6767 @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo "Just because certain things don't appeal to you anymore doesn't mean they don't appeal to someone else." Then why are the companies that own movie theaters going bankrupt? Why have ticket sales gone down for the last 10(?) years?

@impossible_pain @Critsober @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @mjarbo It doesn't undercut my argument at all, Lizard Brain. But since you want to play the game let's go back to Alien and the way Ripley talked down to Captain Dallas about quarentining Kaine. Or just her general attitude overall throughout.

@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?

@impossible_pain @Calebclind231 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo Then you clearly didn't watch the same movie

@Calebclind231 @HelloHumans6767 @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo No she isn’t.

Holy shit, Marco Rubio would hate it if you retweeted

@ValentinaForUSA And being a hateful bitch makes you ugly @ValentinaForUSA

I love bacon 🥓 I love chicken 🐣 I absolutely love steak 🥩 Being vegan or vegetarian makes you gay

@NewAgeNihilism @mjarbo @TheCriticalDri2 The fact that you allow somebody else to make up your mind for you is both lazy and proves that you are weak minded. You lot really need to grab your balls and grow up. There doesn't seem to be an adult male amongst you, including @TheCriticalDri2

@mjarbo Lol @TheCriticalDri2 its awesome, thanks to him we don't have to watch that hot pile of shit Hollywood is putting out. What I'm sorry is that he has to watch it for us and for that we are thankful

@impossible_pain @CentristClash @Critsober @mjarbo You idiot if Ellen Ripley as she was in the Alien franchise was created today you would bitch and moan about her. She was a "girlboss" and frenquently told off men including some marines. The only reason you fucksticks don't include her is because you are nostalgic about the 80s.

What the hell are you talking about? We’re the ones always saying things were fine before you guys came along with your checklists and your self-righteousness, and this list only proves us right. For pity’s sake, Jennifer Lawrence was going about saying that nobody had ever cast a female lead in an action movie before the Hunger Games in 2015. Now you turn around and tell us that the fact that there were always female action heroes is somehow á point scores for YOUR side of the argument..?

@Suburban_Dad @RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo You just proved how absolutely backward and unoriginal you lot really are. Pop culture has to evolve with the times or it becomes stagnant and dies. Just because certain things don't appeal to you anymore doesn't mean they don't appeal to someone else.

@RealMarcFoxx @mjarbo Jarbo came up with a whole lot of projection in his post. "The Message" is 100 percent real. It has been tightly enforced since at least 2016. Movie, after movie, after movie, cranked out the same girl boss tropes. We could (and still do) reliably spot it in the trailers.

@kabengwamark @DanielBordmanOG Differences are fine but make them about yourself, stop including other people, that smacks of tribalism and I've become tired of the anti-woke tirades and miserable nature of most people on that side.

@HelloHumans6767 @DanielBordmanOG And that right there is why they get criticised ... we are different and we like different things .. nothing to do with race, gender or those other cheap things they keep making it about.. if someone does not like a movie maybe its because they just don't like it. That my point.

It’s 2026 and I’m in my 30s, I couldn’t care less what a Hollywood actress says feminism in superhero movies. That being said, if I was a studio executive I would 100% put a clause in every actor’s contact in a $250 mil movie that they are not allowed to attack the fan base during the promotion period. This girl just flushed 10s of millions down the drain.

@kabengwamark @DanielBordmanOG The fact that you mention She-Hulk and Deadpool and Wolverine proves tgat you either didn't watch them or have absolutely no sense of humour, possibly both. Stop taking these movies and shows so fucking seriously.

@HelloHumans6767 @DanielBordmanOG I was part of those that had reservations about the first one so I know there are many the shared those thoughts. But you can't ask me to watch and enjoy she-hulk twerking or whatever deadpool and wolverine did.. no amount of gaslighting would.

@AnnieForTruth @thetrueguru1 Or illegal wars
