Do people not know how percentages work?!?

Some? Yes. Others? No. Either way, at the end of the day, you're always gonna have people who want to be part of the outgroup. Otherwise they feel they're not important or don't belong.

​

It reminds me one of the former crews of Double Toasted, Gertz. When The Batman came out and after Korey came out of the theater, Gertz immediately texted him. Gertz assumed and hoped, that Korey would 100% agree with him, and say the movie sucked on little to no bases, other than Gertz and his personal group of friends like to suck up to each other. Being part of said outgroup. Despite being friends, Korey more or less rightly told him to fuck off. It's why I don't miss Gertz, and glad he left the show. Gertz was a well known contrarian and to be on the constant defense for nearly everything. The Venom movie being a big example. He loves the shit out of it, and thinks that anyone who hates on it are "contrarian" or don't "get" the character. I thought Venom is decent, but I don't begrudge anyone for disliking the movie within reason.

Gertz sometimes appears on the show, but is mostly for non-movie related stuff. I still dislike the fucker, but that's Korey's friend, not mine.

I still hate Avatar (2009) and have no interests in any of the sequels. Whenever they're supposed to come out. Better hurry up Cameron; you ain't young anymore. Use that budget and talent and make sequel to Battle Angel. Buy the rights back from Disney. They don't want it, and will do nothing with the IP.

Isn't he making like 3 or 4 of those damn things? I can't imagine that's cheap and he's certainly betting it all that there's a bunch of people that really, really want to see more Avatar, a movie barely anyone talks about anymore. So apparently there's s legion of Avatar fans that apparently just keeping it on the downlow until they can propel these sequels to blockbuster status or something?

I know it was supposed to be a trilogy. Avatar 2 was supposed to come out in 2014 or 2015, but kept getting delayed. I had no interests, but it was nothing but rumors and constant date pushbacks.

I can't imagine that's cheap and he's certainly betting it all that there's a bunch of people that really, really want to see more Avatar, a movie barely anyone talks about anymore.

The only one's I've seen talk about Avatar (2009) is Max and the YoVideoGames crew. Max especially love the movie, but they're deluding themselves if thinking a sequel is going to come out and every one is going to flock to the theaters to see the move. He's entitled to his opinion, but I disagree with him on this.

What does not help matters is that Avatar (2009) is nothing more than a glorified, 3 hour tech demo of CGI cameras and 3D. An amazing feat, yet became less special as time move on. Within 5 years, the tech had become so standard, nothing sticks out anymore about the movie aside from the green and the hype. As I've said before and said again, Princess Mononoke and Ferngully are the better versions of this movie. Princess Mononoke especially. Miyazaki actually remembers to have grey areas and not have a stick up his own fucking ass (at the time). I saw the better version of Avatar (2009) all the way back in 1999 when my parents took my brother and I to see our first viewing of a Studio Ghibli Film.

One of the things that kind of bugged me is that there's some cut content that makes the plot a lot more understandable and introduces moral grey area. The first that earth is apparently a shithole ravanged by environmental disasters(due to humans polluting it) and that the unobtainium they want so badly on Pandora is STARSHIP FUEL for further colonization(whereas in the film proper it's just worth a lot of $$$$$$$). So that makes the film more interesting off the bat even if the colonization theme is even more on the nose.

Granted, it still doesn't explain why they don't just nuke the NAVI from orbit, take the stuff from their cold dead hands and just make everyone sign NDAs up the ass once they got kicked off the planet at the end of the film.

I'm also one of those wierdos who feels that the Matrix films are far more interesting if you take "The Second Renaissance" from the Animatrix as canon(not sure if it's officially canon) where the machines never wanted to fight in the first place and humans basically fucked them over(as well as themselves) at every turn. Which leads to the idea that the machines are keeping humans in the matrix to keep us alive as the surface cannot support life. There's stuff in the films to support this interpretation(the original matrix was a Utopia, the body heat explanation makes no sense for what they're trying to do and there are easier ways to generate power then keeping a bunch of mooches alive forever) but the films never outright come out and admit it.

When I found that out on IMDB, my attitudes and feelings were and are, "Fuck off, James Cameron!". It was one of the few times a piece of fictional media pissed me off so hard! The reason why Cameron made this dumb ass decisions? Because he wanted the Navi to be the de facto "good guys", and felt the grey areas would have been "too complicated". You had no problem doing grey areas in your previous movies, why start fucking now?! Even hardcore fans and defenders of Avatar called him out on this!

As for the Animatrix example, I just take Second Renaissance as canon, and tell all sequels to fuck off. Not my favorite story in the movie, but still better than the sequels. The Animatrix actually put effort in the world building and showed there was more going on than just Neo and Trinity's "romance".

This is less of a hot take and more of a thought, but I find it funny that the Castlevania TV series has better water/ice bending and fire bending, than nearly anything Legend of Korra could come up with. And I'm not talking about the blood and gore either. All the more funny is that Sypha is mage and not martial artist or Kung Fu expert of some kind. That is not a knock against her. Plus, the fight scenes are so well animated.

Oh my God, it's that fucking fucker! "The Mysterious Mr. Enter". Fuck this guy! I don't know why people still follow him after the whole "BLM are terrorist", "COVID is not serious", and saying poor people don't deserve any type of healthcare and deserve it. This man is miserable and hates himself, and is too full of himself to realize it.

The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Dethroning Moment - TV Tropes

What we've seen is wrong, we know it's wrong, so we're gonna post it here anyway! The Mysterious Mr. Enter has a Broken Base when it comes to his videos, and these moments do nothing to help that. Whether by poor research, poor speeches or …

• darksteel: For me, it wasn't any of his Blatant Liesin his "Technocracy" series (especially in regards to his claim that Twitter is focusing on targeting right-wing people, which, no, they aren't - the fact that actual prominent white supremacists are still on there to this day single-handedly disproves his point there) or even his asinine anti-lockdown rants on his streams. No, for me, it was the blog entry on his DeviantArt page called "People Are Jokes," where he basically showed his incredible ignorance in regards to structural and societal racism, with him incessantly bitching about "Black Lives Matter" and reeking of white privilege - that was when it became clear to me how ignorant he truly was and that he's not nearly as smart as he's convinced he is. It's no surprise that he nuked his entire DA page shortly after that entry was published, as he was getting called out by numerous users, and accused anyone who dared to rightfully criticize him of being "trolls" (along with blocking them as well), so like a coward, he shut down the whole page rather than admitting he made a mistake
  • biznizz: ...Which leads us to his video that's about "The Wild World of Modern PSA's", which is less about PSA's and more of a dumping ground for Enter's controversial politics that he's developed during the lockdown of 2020. The two main areas of contention are his opinions on COVID-19 and the nuances of Black Lives Matter. With the former, he not only declared that he believes Dr. Anthony Fauchi to be a liar, but that the level of concern for the virus isn't worth the stress on mental health for people who have to remain inside, including alluding to the idea that it could cause those with mental disorders to possibly take their lives. And with the subject of race and BLM, he largely echoed his previously shallow opinions on the subject, even at a surface level. Not only does he compare his own education on black history and the arts to the standard across the country, he seems to have the opinion that, unless it's explicitly based on a real person's direct experiences, using a parable or semi-fictional example of racial injustice is completely worthless to the conversation (such as comparing when Arthur alluded to George Floyd to when the Barbie PSA brought up an in-universe's character's experience). In a video completely dominated by his own bitterness, these two subjects were almost beyond words in how ignorant and out of touch he is.
  • Diamond Wheels 35: The one big problem for me in this video is that he believes that humanity will destroy itself by trying to save itself and that humanity’s desire to save itself is the most destructive thing in the universe, what kind of Anti-Spiral crap is that? Are the people who use their money to save forests and it’s natural wildlife destroying humanity? Are the doctors who worked around the clock to create the COVID-19 vaccine destroying humanity? Are firefighters who put out fires destroying humanity? He doesn’t seem to understand that there are people and organizations out there that really do care about the bettering of humanity and do so through non-violent means. I shouldn’t be so surprised that he said that though, his answer for solving problems is to just not do anything and ignore it, which will just make it go away on it’s own, if his takes on how to stop gun violence are anything to go by. Enter is a man with nothing but hate in his heart and let the 2020 pandemic destroy whatever sanity he had left.

goddamnit I gotta sit down and watch this thing. I swear to god if its some harmless coming age story Im gonna be pissed.

All this movie is female puberty and coming of age. Nothing special, but a lot of men (and some women children) children have a big problem with it.

What the merry fuck is he ON?

It's Enter, he's always getting high off his own farts and political ideals. All the dumb biatch does it picking his movie and cartoon reviews. He's always known for trying to be offended over something minute or something silly. Using a tragedy just to make your dumbass point shows you how much empathy he lacks, and he's just another attention whore. Seriously, fuck this asshole. I don't know why he still has people that follow him.

Though I am happy that the Sonic 2 movie succeeded, they're still a lot that needs to be done for it to be better than what it should be. From what I'm hearing, it still suffers some of the same flaws as the live action Transformers and Smurf movies. The focus of human characters nobody gives a crap about. Even fans of this movie don't like the stupid wedding sub plot and goes on for way too long. Why is there a wedding subplot in a Sonic movie? I don't care about these people or their former relationship issues. I'm here for Sonic and his crew. Not some jackasses with relationship issues. Save that for the bad romantic comedies. It's saying something that even critics and fans that like this movie, hate the wedding scenes and feels like it goes on for far too long.

Another thing I find odd is how people say the movie is MCU like. I don't exactly have a problem with it, but it feels like that comment is used by most critics to embellish the positives and downplay what are negatives.

Live action is cheaper, that's why. They could still at least do something better with live actors than that though.

I know all that and that's why I prefer an animated movie in the first place. Even if that's the case, they could have done so much better with the human characters or keep them to a minimal (they are, but a comedy punchline for them is not worth it). I want to watch a Sonic movie for Sonic. Not some rambling and bumbling dumbasses from a different movie no one even cares about. People that like these movies don't even like, nor care, and share the same opinion of them not being needed, then that's pretty much it. Get rid of them. It's why I don't even bother with the live action Transformers movies aside from Bumblebee.

First Transformers movie is a good example of weird choices. They had a human character that they could have developed more and followed in the soldier guy that was in the middle east somewhere but instead they went with following highschool kid and having "wacky shenanigans". It's weird.

The first and second problems are "Michael" and "Bay". The third problem being is that his movies are glorified PG-13 porn. One of the nicknames Bay's movies that are not rated R. Also, lowest common denominator. Trying to be hip with the youth in the worst possible way. It's as if these movies are ashamed to be associated with a property that are about transforming toys.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Ok, random thought, but, in my experience, if the movie starts off with epic music, and it's not because it's the sequel of a movie that had the same music, it's probably going to be at least decent.
