Red Letter Media

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

The past 10-15 years? Star Trek, Ghostbusters, Halo, Resident Evil, among many other media series/franchises that have been marred. And they'll keep churning them out if they can make a buck on them.

No, DEI executives have made it so they can't make money off of them. Star Wars still hasn't made a profit despite the billions of dollars sunk into it, Star Trek managed to poison actual diversity by emphasizing Michael Burham as the most important character in the universe and letting Alex Kurtzman control everything in it, Halo managed to make its most iconic character into an annoying dweeb played by a narcissist that surpasses Stallone's Dread, Ghostbusters is even deader than the above mentioned. Resident Evil only works as well as it does because people think of the games--even the Remake ones--first and ignore the shows. In all these cases, we know the source of the disease and it's Critical Race Theory. That's why they can't make good stories despite the unlimited resources.

Wil Wheaton represents the worst of X imo. Millennials were even worse overall, with the Channel Awesome types.

A leftist Gen X is like a leftist secular Jews in many ways, worst of the worst. I think the majority of X'ers are more sane than Millennials so far, but at the extremes you get Wheaton type and the origins of pure soy.

It's amazing how in this whole Star Wars video the best parts are about Wheaton being a faggot. Strange.

This part

"StAr TrEk WaS aLwAyS lEfT"

No, it was liberal. Liberal is not left.

In all these cases, we know the source of the disease and it's Critical Race Theory.

And not ESG? (and jews):

ESG score is used by investors (Blackrock and other investment firms) to judge whether or not a company is worth funding, banks see the company has a high ESG and is backed by a huge investment firm and are more likely to lend credit to the company thinking ESG is a good assessment of risk. Other companies see this company staying afloat despite releasing crap because they have backing of a huge investment firm and better credit, so they try and hop on the bandwagon. It makes perfect economical sense pander to wokeshit to gain a higher ESG score (or hire a company to do it for you).

At some point much later Blackrock will notice a good ESG score doesn't actually mean it will get a good return, banks will probably not see ESG as an indicator of risk, and then there'll be a new scam.

Why ESG in the first place? Trends and woke-washing the sins of evil corporations. Why do anything actually moral when you can just give the sheen of it?

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

And not ESG? (and jews):

ESG is the financial end. Critical Race Theory is the creative end. People like Leslye Headland and Amanda (no I'm not going to spell her name correctly) Stenberg are CRT subscribers. Studying CRT is part of the humanities requisite courses, so every actor too. ESG is the sort of thing that people like Iger, Chapek (he was fine with it, just wanted to be more subtle), and Feige focus on. They all have the same end from top to bottom.

Mike makes it no secret that he is absolutely out of the loop on current pop culture as a whole and is proud of how far he can bury his head in the sand.

Mike used to be the face of Red Letter media. Now he is overshadowed by Rich and Jay. Most of the RLM memes poke fun of Mike for being a fat cuck. Of the three main hosts of RLM. Mike is the one that feels bitter and gives out channel awesome levels of autism. Despite Rich Evan's being an adult crackbaby. Mike is the one that will probably have a full mental breakdown.

 

[mandatorylurk]

I kinda wonder if when doing his smiling friends stuff, people have actually been telling Mike “hey you guys should have an adult swim show.” If they start pushing those animated storyboards more it will make me think that's the case.

Remember years ago, during one of their reviews of a horror movie, or maybe it was the RLM documentary they had on their website that is behind a paywall, Mike said they were talking to someone at Universal or another studio who wanted to give 10 small indie filmmakers about $1 million each to make a movie and see what worked or did well, in the same vein of small budget horror movies always making money. I always think about that when Mike is trying to play centrist, even though you can see him struggle with his 90's democrat values when Allison Pill is saying she can't sing a song because it's a black people song.

I appreciate the attempt by the RLM guys to be reasonable, grounded people who don't get swept away by culture war bullshit, especially YouTube culture war bullshit. That's one of the reasons I love them.

But this video could be titled Reasonable Centrism at Any Cost. "Hey YouTube, have you ever noticed how the left and right are just a bad as one another?!"

Mike and Jay and Rich are not stupid. I'm sure they've noticed this leftist cult horseshit is being forced into LITERALLY EVERYTHING. (Need we discuss the progressive cancer that took over the online knitting community?) I'm sure they understand that the cult is not one reasonable side of a cultural divide where everyone has great points. These people don't have any great points. If they ever express a good point, they're skinwalking an idea someone outside the cult came up with in order to confuse and manipulate other people outside of the cult. Literally all they care about is spreading the cancer and preening YAAAASSS QWEEN. They are not good people who simply believe different things. They're totalitarian narcissists. I'm certain the RLM guys know that...

Or maybe it's not possible to avoid inhabiting a bubble of sorts when you're as successful a channel as RLM is. I like that the guys refuse to get involved in terrible, tired Fandom Menace crap, and I think they make a real effort to stay humble and connected to their work. But that doesn't mean they see the same world the rest of us do. Maybe that's inevitable with success.

The only possible defence to this is that people have so much stopped watching legacy media, that they think Youtube content is the same political skew as that legacy media.

Yeah there are just as much right wing grifters as left wing ones on YouTube, but you cannot find a single big budget American film from the last decade that is as overtly right wing as 95% of the films today are left wing, unless you are a disingenuous bastard and count having attractive females as such. Nevermind a film with overtly racist white characters shown as good people.

Didn't watch the video but this reaction is only surprising in people acting like this is new for them. They're fat and smug, have been for a while, blame it on the white bread diet.

They have also always been goofy hypocrites, even back during one of the ghostbusters videos they made they were talking about how pathetic it is that peoples "whole personality is liking ghostbusters" and as proof of this they showed a random picture of some guys dressed up as ghostbusters, I'm assuming at a Halloween party or something but here's the thing: mike and rich have both dressed up as ghostbusters on multiple occasions, several times in their lives, they could have made that comment and then had a self-deprecating picture of themselves pop-up on screen but instead it was to bully some random they have zero self-awareness. It would be okay for me to make fun of people dressing up like ghostbusters because I've never done it but these fat dipshits are the exact people they complain about.

In the Plinkett reviews "starving africans in cambodia" was a joke, now its apparently a real reason for why people shouldn't say anything bad about some dumb show when these guys spent their entire lives doing just that.

Mike whined about the star wars prequals for like 20 years. He was making videos interviewing his friends about how bad the star wars prequals were when he was in college and then years after that made the plinkett reviews. He has spent the majority of his adult life whining about star wars and star trek. They are the pathetic man-babies that they hate.

And this would be fine if they had self-awareness of it but they don't they actually think that because they hung out with max landis and that the rick and morty guy that they are above it.

Watch they're The Last Jedi review they disliked it but not for the reasons the fanbase did they liked the Luke story in it. The Kenobi review was this is fine it's ok that's it. The only things Disney has made that I think they liked was possibly Mandalorian Season 1 and Andor they recently gave that a good review a year after it came out. They see Star Wars as something that should have ended with the original trilogy and seeing grown men argue over SW canon and ruining a franchise that to them was already trash by the time Disney bought it is funny at best, sad at worst, and opportunist if honest and the worst part for them is they get lumped in with them. I think they wanted to do a review where they made their position very clear this show is Meh and to be upset is stupid because since 1983 most of SW ranges between Meh and just bad.

 

[Biker]

i take solace in the fact their beloved franchise star trek is also getting fucked, not one of my finest qualities. but fuck i hate their gen-x mindless thoughtless critiques.

Okay? That doesn't justify the whole "starving kids in Africa" bullshit they just pulled. RLM made their bread and butter bitching about the Prequels, and they are still talking about Star Wars after all of this time, even though they keep claiming how much they don't care. It's one thing to watch a review of theirs and disagree with them, and then there's the Acolyte review they just posted. I've disagreed with them more than once before, but not once was I tempted to stop watching before this latest video dropped.

It just blows my mind how much self-awareness they seem to lack, and how much hypocrisy they seem to possess.

The latest video was very, extremely off-putting.

I don't, although their reaction to Picard season 3 is the most shameless show of hypocrisy I've ever seen after clowning on Rogue One for engaging in the same memberberries Picard did.

I watched the re:View of The Acolyte. It's very confused with what exactly they're trying to say. On the one hand, they lament over fans who take this too seriously and the click-bait/rage-bait channels do their thing. Which is understandable. Then they highlight the propaganda and performative wokeness. I had no idea that the retards at Disney put Stacy Abrams in a Star Wars thing as some fat Jedi or General or whatever the fuck. There is no way that you can see that and their methods of propaganda and media manipulation that there isn't an agenda being pushed. Especially a massive corporation like Disney. There's simply no way. But Mike and Rich kind of deny it all but sheepishly and half-assed.

I get it. The Patreon dollars could vanish if they say the wrong thing but then don't even make the fucking video. Grow some balls and take a stand in what you believe. It reminds me of the Plinkett review of Phantom Menace where Mike straight up calls out the casting of Samuel L. Jackson was done to cater to a black audience that otherwise would not be interested in Star Wars.

I also understand that the guys are center-left but the video comes off as a Leftist struggling to comprehend the reality of the situation.

Anyway, they should stop talking about bullshit they either don't understand or don't want to actually talk about without fearing demonitization.

I wish it was Star Wars Stacey Abrams was in Star Trek Discovery, thank God I don't watch Discovery though.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

Rich so despised Mass Effect 3 that he promised to destroy any copies of Andromeda a fan might send to him for review, and in fact he did an entire video where all he did for about half an hour was destroy physical copies of not just Andromeda but the original trilogy

And yet if some star wars fan pulled that exact same stunt Rich and co would be mocking them.

 

[I'm a Silly]

Forget Baby Hitler,

1. I love Hitler and would do everything to protect him from the other time travelers.
2. I would [fedpost].
3. I would kill baby Lucas to prevent Star Wars.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Don't worry-- Disney did their part in the cringefest by giving Lizzo (another hamplanet) a part in one of the Mando Season 3 episodes.

isnt stacey abrams the original election denier?

shes the one who claimed she was the real governor of some state because the republicans cheated the election wasnt she?

 

[BrunoMattei]

Oh, she was in Discovery. My bad. Both shows looked like the same levels of dog shit.

Every time I’ve seen images of this, I thought it was from an advertisement for a Disneyland attraction. I had no idea it was from one of those shows.

How fucking cheap.
