2 characters were there just because they were lesbians, nothing else

2018-05-30 09:44:26 UTC  

Fuck. It’s like they are determined to run every movie into the ground.

2018-05-30 09:44:43 UTC  

cultural appropriation jokes everywhere

2018-05-30 09:44:52 UTC  

jokes about cops being racist

2018-05-30 09:45:33 UTC  

an orphanage full of white guys that (without any explanation) "are ALL pedophiles"

2018-05-30 09:46:31 UTC  

"don't kill anyone", proceeds to kill only white people

2018-05-30 09:46:41 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-05-30 09:46:56 UTC  

ahh

2018-05-30 09:47:09 UTC  

the main "kid" of the plot is a really fat guy

2018-05-30 09:47:41 UTC  

and one of his lines is about fat people representation in Hollywood on acting roles

2018-05-30 09:51:52 UTC  

Rotten tomatoes has it in the 80% mark and usually if a movie is too SJW it gets to around 60%. Might be ok regardless.

2018-05-30 10:04:18 UTC  

Well... one of the lesbians was obviously into deadpool, sooo...

Always go by the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The critic score is political.

2018-05-30 12:49:54 UTC  

The audience score for Deadpool 2 is about the same as the critic score so it can't be that bad.

2018-05-30 12:50:22 UTC  

But you also get things like this:

2018-05-30 12:51:34 UTC  

I remember listening to a podcast and the guy on there said that it's better for a movie to get a Rotten Tomatoes score in the mid 80's rather than the 90's, as a score in the 90's is the sign of a film for critics while a score in the 80's is more of a sign of mainstream appeal

2018-05-30 12:52:13 UTC  

That makes sense to me.

2018-05-30 12:52:36 UTC  

If every critic agrees it's likely virtue signaling and not actual criticism.

2018-05-30 13:50:34 UTC  

Maybe I've been watching the "solo: a star wars story" reviews while the critical score has stayed at 70% but audience score whent down to 54% and now it's up to 63%

2018-05-30 13:50:59 UTC  

Which makes me think there's some fuckery going on there.

2018-05-30 13:56:44 UTC  

Solo seems caught between the two factions

2018-05-30 13:57:44 UTC  

those who see a female and scream sjws have gone too far and those who see anything progressive and go this is the best thing since sliced bread

2018-05-30 13:57:51 UTC  

and somewhere in the middle are real reviews

2018-05-30 14:07:57 UTC  

once again: "We want to be treated equally by being treated differently!"

2018-05-30 14:16:33 UTC  

lmao

2018-05-30 14:38:47 UTC  

@Grenade123 I mean star wars dose have some progressive bullshit in it, but the last two films were just lazy.

2018-05-30 14:41:33 UTC  

and that is where the real criticize lies. stuck in-between the to factions. No, its not suck because, or not solely because, it has progressive bs in. And no, it is not great just because it has progressive bs in it. The problem comes down to being lazy writing, and uninteresting story telling. Ultimately the cause for this is irrelevant, the solution is to stop being lazy.

One of my main gripes is that Finn has no purpose as a character. He does nothing. Accomplishes nothing.

2018-05-30 14:43:34 UTC  

He's not a hero because he's continually running away.

2018-05-30 14:43:56 UTC  

Even when he fights, he's somehow shown to be wrong for doing so.

2018-05-30 14:44:16 UTC  

The one time he could have been a hero the mechanic person stopped him.

2018-05-30 14:44:19 UTC  

I don't get what purpose they think he serves.

2018-05-30 14:44:52 UTC  

At this point he's just a foil and love interest for the mechanic asian that nobody remembers the name of.
