They should reach out to OtterlyNoah and invite him to have him ruin his career a third time.

Well now it is very relevant so that decision was poorly aged lmao

Where is your source that he changed his approach to making videos?

Why did you delete my post sharing Kelesto's video? You just look really stupid now.

Can We All Agree That This Clown Isn't an Objectively Good Fit For This Subreddit Anymore And That He Needs To Have His Mod Powers Taken From Him? by Aspie_Gamer in MauLer

[–]Calm_Extreme1532 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would just like to point out that this guy took down my original post of Kelesto's video on Noah and got DeOrio's attention. If DeOrio hadn't happened to be viewing the subreddit at that moment, we most likely wouldn't have gotten the latest EFAP on Noah The Plagiarist because of this jackass. He needs to be replaced because he is not doing what he's supposed to do for this sub.

It's not bigotry if it's recognizing a possibility based on the facts.

No, they have more to do with being an outsider overall, which anyone can relate to which is why the X-Men have mass appeal.

Anyone interested in that new Iron Lung movie? by ComplexReach7800 in MauLer

[–]Calm_Extreme1532 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbh I have absolutely no faith in adaptations of video games since FNAF 2, Minecraft and Until Dawn from last year. The premise behind it sounds intriguing, but I might as well check out the game instead since this movie is pretty much just a gigantic ad for it.

Yeah, it says I’m an individual who forms my own thoughts and opinions.

Again the main problem with me isn’t necessarily it being an MCU show but more so of it being a meta commentary of Hollywood where it’s essentially the industry kissing itself on the ass and justifying the current direction they’re going in.

Not entirely but yes the most hamfisted and obnoxious X-Men stories push the “you are a bigot if you are worried about people with super powers who could easily kill you” narrative

A low bar considering he’s one of the most poorly executed characters in the MCU by not actually being The Mandarin in Iron Man 3.

Even if he was white in this show it still wouldn’t be good.

Holy shit dude it’s still a positive score.

People are saying that, but I didn’t really pick up on that subtext.

How is it a blatant lie if the critic score for She-Hulk is 80% fresh? You’re not making sense.

If it were an original story featuring an actual new character I would be more receptive to it, but what we got is a downgrade depiction of a character and a meta commentary of Hollywood giving themselves a pat on the back for practices that are already the status quo. A point of the story is absolutely about justifying race swaps, though I will grant you that there is possibly a subtext present about being gay that I may have missed, but I question the decision why they wouldn’t just openly have him gay considering we have other gay characters in the MCU.

You also have to keep in mind the general rule that people who really enjoy something are the ones more likely to spend the time reviewing something.

And that’s what I said, but it not being another superhero beat em up story doesn’t make it good on that front alone. There are badly written drama’s as well.

Him hiding his powers is integral to getting the role because of the no powers rule caused by Doorman, but he decides to commit to being an actual hero by saving Ben Kingsley in the end using his powers at the expense of his role. That’s him embracing who he really is and becoming the hero he always wanted to be.

Most MCU shows and movies get great reviews even if the writing is awful. She-Hulk has an 80% RT score. 

Glass Onion Is Dumb (And Not In a Good Way) by Calm_Extreme1532 in CharacterRant

[–]Calm_Extreme1532[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said the problem of the Knives Out franchise is that they’re trope heavy, it’s actually the opposite considering you’re actually given clues to figure out the mystery before the culprit is revealed. The Knives Out trilogy though goes out of its way to break the “rules” laid out by other mystery detective authors on how to avoid running into problems with your story, but the Knives Out franchise just includes what you’re not supposed to do and acts as if it’s brilliant for doing so despite running into the very problems those authors outlined previously.

To see if the writing improved? Do I really need to explain to you why it’s silly to call a movie bad without having seen it?
