I want a re:view of Stargate, personally.
My memory might serve me wrong, but I remember Mike saying in a video (I forget which one) that he hated Stargate.
Which is when I turned off the video. Didn't give a dislike though as I wasn't really angry. If it were a one-off thing, I would agree with Rich, but him citing Ghostbuster 2016 is like saying Patient Zero is not infected. It's been 8 years, we know Hollywood, and Disney especially, makes woke garbage that deliberately insults its audience and that's what craters the shows. Hollywood now makes woke garbage because from top to bottom, everyone who works in it is pushing a Critical Race agenda over making entertainment and has been confirmed by James O'Keefe.I'm 30 minutes into the video, and they've yet to start actually reviewing the show ...
Rich does not look like he could be bothered with all of this culture war talk. lol.
Update: I skipped around the video a bit ... Still no actual review of the show. It's all talking about the culture war shit. Probably gonna stop there.
On top of that, Mike missed the mark entirely about something as I was skipping around. He said that people (right wingers?) would trash an amazing show because of diversity, like how the left would defend a shitty show because of diversity. Big yikes. I don't know a single conservative who has seen Cobra Kai (a show with lots of diversity) and has hated it, for starters. Don't lots of conservatives love Yellowstone as well, as they sing the praises of Beth (who is a "strong female character" and "girlboss")?
Is RLM going to go down the path of YMS and start making salty videos about The Critical Drinker or something now? Hope not.
Also, gonna disagree with Mike again: The lesbian R2-D2 joke wasn't funny. I'm not offended by it ... But it was a cringey joke that wasn't funny. As a child, not once did I ever consider C3PO's sexuality. I always just viewed him as a prim and proper scaredy cat who talked too much. Sure, he might have been a faggot, but I never considered him gay.
I definitely agree that they shouldn't talk about things they obviously don't care about. My opinion on their views of Picard aside, at least they cared about it, even though they ended up the pathetic fanboys they make fun of for liking Rogue One. Disney Wars show? Waste of time.
I kinda hated stargate just from flipping around channels and seeing that sg1 or the other series was on, skipping past it but I watched a couple episodes start to finish that were actually good, decided to watch the movie and had a good time. Mike can fuck off and someone else can fill the seat because he has shit taste.
Haven't bothered with anything Star Trek since the farce that was Into Darkness. It was one of the few times that I laughed so hard in the movie theater because something was so hilariously bad. I was incapable of internalizing the secondhand embarrassment I felt while watching that godawful movie.
I remember pirating Rise of Skywalker and being glad I did, the thought of paying is just too much. I can't get over Kenobi hiding Leia in his coat while walking by a bunch of Imps. I can forgive some retarded shit - I have been into Star Wars for decades, after all - but whoever wrote that scene truly has the biggest of brainworms. Mando season threes biggest problem was the same with Boba Fett, where the main character took a backseat in their own show. MCU type story telling has fucked these franchises.
I'd go even further, and say do this with almost everything, really. The last streaming thing I paid for was Shudder, until AMC cowardly refused to show a movie about the dangers of trans "healthcare". Fuck it, I'll pay for my Internet connection, and thanks to rippers, it's all I need.
I feel like the last time I enjoyed doing that was when the live action Dragonball Z movie was on TV, the commercials were a great reprieve, and gave me time to piss and get another beer.
Oh my God. Okay. This is insufferable and ridiculously hypocritical on RLM's part. Yikes!
At least Wheel of the Worst is still mildly entertaining. Or maybe I'm just biased because I love shitty b-movies. As much as I hate Youtube clickbait grifter faggots who shit out nothing but videos whining about Star Wars, and boy do I hate them, Mike and Rich still whining about Rogue One is pretty annoying too.
First of all, SG-1 and Stargate have radically different aims. SG-1 is essentially Canadian Star Trek; they go to a forest world and figure out the Sci-fi mystery of that week. Random Star Trek actors show up sometimes. Stargate is a Roland Emmerich movie where action has to happen in it. Now, I can agree that Roland Emmerich sucked after he started making global warming propaganda films and then sold out to Chinese film interests (remember Independence Day: Resurgence?), but he and Dean Devlin did not suck in the 90s when they actually did make crowd-pleasing movies. Original ID4 is the most USA! USA! USA! movie I've ever seen. Why? Because it handled its theme of David v. Goliath story perfectly.
This is a in theory, in practice distinction. In theory, Strong female action characters should do well as action movies. Literally every Shiro Masamune protagonist is a strong female character. In practice, the people who make modern films now are beholden to ESG investors who demand DEI and thus necessitates Affirmative action hires everywhere. Every college graduate that makes it through the California employment filter already thinks in Critical Race Theory as their core philosophy. So instead of doing things in a race-blind way like they did in the 80s and 90s (I almost said 70s but Blaxploitation is necessarily racist), they have to select for race and sex to improve representation. It's not because they found the best actors because outside of Squid Games guy, they didn't.
Those starving Africans are the only ones who even watch Space Cop.
