Nonsense, the quality of those movies has only improved and been perfected. Like fine wine.

I posted this on the Sweet Baby Inc thread, but thought I might do the same here:
View attachment 5785841
Just as a reminder, anti-woke e-daddy TCD praised God of War Ragnarok, and said making Angrboda a young black girl was fine and not woke.
He said people calling it woke were overreacting. Here is his video on it:
Skip to 11:13 to hear TCD excuse modern wokeness as being completely organic storytelling.
He said anyone who noticed woke things was on a "witch hunt."
Synthetic Man was right.

its funny to me that Drinker and the rest of the fandom menace did nothing when one of their own (Babyface i think his name was) was attacked for calling out Starfield for being "woke" but now, with Sweet baby inc entering the consciousness of the masses, his going out of his way to say all games are woke propaganda now.
here he is on Stuttering Craigs show, calling out Act Man.

It's actually difficult for normies to call out woke games without using the racism heuristic. Now, we're based enough to do the NOTICING, but to normal people, you have to couch it in terms that separate the race and sex and point to incompetence directly. This problem is compounded when normies also consider early MCU to be good, so you've got Samuel Jackson Fury and Idris Elba Heimdall blocking the argument. Of course, if you don't have an understanding of Critical Race Theory, you just blunder into Liberal preconceptions about meritocracy and always use the caveat that race-swapping is okay as long as they're competent, which is conceding the argument to the Woke. Racism is a thought-terminating cliché to a normie, so if he can't prove the story's incompetence, he cannot argue against Woke because he assumes there is no correlation between woke and competence. When the truth is that Woke has a strong correlation with incompetent media.

The biggest problem I have with Drinker on this area is he has broached the topic time and again (seemingly) without doing any of his own research on it. Like, if you continually say "woke" even as a conservative consumer and have zero concept of wtf you're even talking about, you're a stooge. You're a tool.
Kim Belair's lecture makes everything quite clear: if you're seeing black people pop up in places they don't belong, it's clear and unabashed forced representation and forced inclusion. But Drinker sees black girl Angrboda in God of War Ragnarok, his brain tells him it isn't right, but he ignore his brain and tells his audience to just enjoy it and stop looking for it where it doesn't exist. This is why I don't buy into the "Drinker is just a normie" that his faggot followers use to shield their favorite e-daddy with. If he was a normie, he wouldn't be telling you to ignore obvious woke markers that he claims to recognize as being legitimate or not.
Oh, and there's this nonsense:
Why the fuck does Drinker care about what other people are doing with their YouTube channels? Last I checked, neither party has a professional reviewer and neither one has any obligation to review anything they don't want to. They're essentially just dudes with channels. That's it.
Also "bad movies" is such an idiotic way of approaching this entire thing anyway because, why the hell would you review something that has be pre-ordained as "bad" anyway? It basically means you're either going to repeat the same sentiments that lead to the mass conclusion that it was "bad" or you're going to go against the grain and upset people who are going to demand why you like the "bad" thing.
YouTube's commentary community is absolutely fucking retarded.
Yeah, the "current thing" bandwagoning is becoming far more explicit. I'm guessing people have their noses dug far too up the asses of these faggots to notice the contradictions, but then again one of the primary sources of drama on YouTube is watching these guys throw shit at each other for no reason.

Drinker is too hung up on the cape shit.
Look at his recent "Fastest Indian" against Cape Shit the 4rd.

And there's the rub. The unstated but inescapable assumption is this racism is OK because I'm enjoying what it's a part of. The meritocracy argument that apologists invoke is itself defective. Determinations made by race, hiring, characters, story &c, by definition are not meritocratic. They like it despite the racism / lack of meritocracy, not because of it. Unfortunately the apologist approach justifies and reinforces the woke / racist approach - see, this is a critical and commercial success, people like our wokery / racism. Those that fail just "didn't do it right"; just like socialism generally.
Indeed and it always will. When you can't hire hire the best people for a job and can't tell large classes of stories or show large classes of character types you're at a large disadvantage from the start. It doesn't help that significant parts of the budget that otherwise could have gone on something productive go to the wokification industry.
There is another element though of general application including the trope of the left can't meme. Excellent political media can and has been produced throughout human history. There's the problem when the politics becomes more important than producing something entertaining and technically competent. That's the taking the eye off the ball argument. But there's also a more basic problem. Media depends on having a basic connection to reality and human empathy. That's what draws the view in and keeps the viewer engaged. When "creatives" adopt "my truth", deny reality, produce characters that act appallingly but the story treats as heroic, all but the mentally ill are repulsed and alienated. It destroys immersion and any connection with the story. By way of non-woke example; the opening sequence of The Last Jedi had it's Memphis Belle bombing run (breaking reality - even with fantasy if you are going to break normal basic physics you need to establish the new rules) and phone prank (breaking characters). From that point on the movie had lost me with the knock on consequence of being more critical and less willing to let things go.
Regrettably that 's a common issue on the interwebs (and more generally). He's also done it on the issue of whether or not a particular film was a financial success rather too often with the further problem of giving the impression that he's conflating financial success with what he artistically likes.
Far too many people feel an over overwhelming desire to have an opinion/view on everything and express it loudly and unequivocally. "I don't know" and "i'll need to look into that" are really useful responses but seem to regarded as admissions of fallibility. Pim Tool is a classic example of this. Perversely, spouting shite on a particular topic tends to make those who recognise it as shite less likely to accept other things that are said and which may be entirely accurate. The old truism of it being better to say nothing and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt has much to commend it.
I've got a bit more sympathy for this though there's a degree issue. Cape shit has been so prevalent and so dominant for the last decade or so that it pretty much has been the industry.

You really can't take Drinker seriously in regards to this conversation because he is very clearly operating a grift mindset and, even if he does have truly anti-woke beliefs, he will never truly stick to his guns on these beliefs because he has sliced out a sweet spot between alt-right Conservative extremism and normiesphere "I just want GOOD movies, man!' talking points.
They're just redpilled enough to trend well, but will only cover 'safe' opinions regardless. Ragnarok was considered a game of the year contender, despite having niggerswaps. That means I can't say it's bad, it will offend my normie base.

Hello future me taking potshits at the fandom menance with his new rings of power video, accusing drinker and co of brainwashing "young men". This 4 hour long rings of power video has an entire HOUR dedicated to how much right wingers have thoughts he doesn't like.
Funnily enough in the same video guy both accuses the fandom menance of being secretly gay and admits to being a faggot himself (but like the safe kind, he's married with a woman but he's totes attracted to men), while also complaining that the fandom menance doesn't like the queers enough for his taste.
The narcisism these people excibit is really worthy of study. They assume that by default "young men" MUST love troons and chomos and the only reason they dislike them is because of a drunken scotsman rambling about movies in his youtube channel.
Yeah, because a chomo ranting about queer relationships instead is what the "young men" should be watching.
The fact that he refuses to even acknowledge they have ANY semblance of a point is even funnier. "Don't believe your lying eyes, wokeness doesn't exist, support queer people, matt walsh bad btw."

Hickson seems to have cut the 'criticism' of youtubers off of the video (LOL he chopped a full hour out).

LMAO HE ACTUALLY DID, but there's still proof it was there because he forgot to remove the chapter name:
I guess enough people called him out in the comments that was he forced to eat crow. Presumably he didn't want that embarassing shitstain of a segment on his 2 hour "opus" which shows some degree of self awareness I guess.

So Drinker has a second channel where he does the same schtick except it's with video games. I'm sure when he covers modern games pandering for ESG scores, he'll conveniently ignore Ragnarok like he did for this one on ugly (female) characters.
And something tells me he has a limited knowledge on the Godzilla IP as he dismisses GxK for not being like Minus One, but tries not come off as smug like the critics he would say are out of touch.

So, he has limited knowledge but also says others are out of touch?
Sounds typically hypocritical.
