The content of the video - especially the presentation - is surprisingly calm and thoughtful. Much more than the title and teaser pic would suggest.



Why men throw their lives away attacking an armed Witcher... I'll never know. Something wrong with my face?

He nails it, though, could have explained how every single character besides the droid in Rogue One was cardboard.

The new movies aren't failing commercially though. In the real world that's ultimately what matters most.

Gods I hate the whole fad about "SJW" to cry about why "X ruined my favorite Y".

Get the hell over it :P

So someone doesn't have the same vision of the thing than you, boo hoo. :P

I have to agree with MadDog here.


Don't like the new direction Disney has taken with the SW franchise? Fine! Just don't watch any subsequent movies. The most powerful thing you can do as a consumer is to not give Disney any of your money.

But to make an elaborate Youtube video so you can just rant and rant about what you don't like about what Disney has done seems to be a big waste of time to me.

Why? Are you guys feeling triggered by criticism from without your safe space bubble? hahaha biggrin

Seriously, though, I believe it is valid to criticize the direction Disney - and any other studio, like Sony did with "Ghostbusters", for example - has/ have taken and call them out on their - real or perceived - methods.

Personally, I think over-focusing on "SJWs" as the sole "power" behind "ruining" a franchise is a little short of the mark (including "Ghostbusters 2016", which apparently was simply crap, regardless), there are many other, business-related decisions behind Disney's way of treating the IP they've purchased. And I also think it's too easy to make "SJW's" the sole scapegoats of everything wrong with society 2017. Just not enough of "them" to go around, and their influence on society is being grossly exaggerated by their output via social media.

That does not mean one should outright dismiss such opinions. It's worth to give it a thought, especially if the form of presentation is on the more reasonable side (as opposed to the other, more prevalent, clickbaity, over-the-top, OMG style of presentation so often found on YT). I do believe he makes some valid observations, and I do believe that the "SJW-mentality" does have an exaggerated, "anti-mainstream" influence on the creative arts (movies, TV-shows, games).

There is certainly room for disagreement with the content of the video I have posted, and it would be interesting to read how someone would refute the points made in there.

With over 500,000 views, depending upon what CPM (cost per mille) he gets, he may have made up to 7,500 dollars with this video alone (realistically, I'd say he earned something between 2,000 and 3,500. Still.). I don't know how much time he invests in making a 5 minute video (one script-page equals roughly one minute of content; I assume not more than 3 hours total, if he does it often enough to have his production procedures optimized), but that is a waste of time I could live with. Especially considering that posting on these forums does not earn me even a single dime. smile

Hey, maybe I should start making YT-videos?! smile

I finally gave this movie a chance a few months ago and you are right with your statement. Regardless of the gender of the main characters, the movie just wasn't funny. It was simply a terrible script.

I just watched the video again and the guy does make several valid points.

What was Diego Luna thinking when he said those things at the convention? He really had no clue.

Ok I get it a bit after seeing it in the ST thread too. Stupid, but I get it.

One could with equal validity say the same thing about your criticism of this criticism of the SJW infestation . . .
