Hearted Youtube comments on The Critical Drinker (@TheCriticalDrinker) channel.

  1. More like "Dontwatchmen" amirite folks?

  2. Dakota Johnsons interviews were pretty entertaining lol. She was asked to name some spider man movies and she like uh... "Spider Man: Here he comes!" "Spider Man: and he's back!"

  3. Politics aside, who the hell thinks Homelander is the good guy? For someone who wrote a great script, that's a real silly thing to say

  4. At this point, it became utterly insulting that the Tolkien estate did this to his creator. Shame on them.

  5. My favorite part of the season was when Galadriel told Sauron “if you liked it, you should have put a ring on it”, then started twerking. Truly a moment of the show.

  6. When IGN gives your product a 2/10, you done fucked up!

  7. Mike Stoklasa recently predicted the end of Hollywood because younger people aren't interested in watching full-length films (because they don't have the attention-spans for it) and mature, older people are becoming so disenchanted by the current culture of the entertainment industry hellbent on warping and destroying IP's, that we'd rather re-watch our old favorites films and shows than watch whatever sludge they sh!t this week, which is always now accompanied by a divisive sociopolitical topic that only 5% of the audience cares about.

  8. Predator 2 is getting better with age. I think it’s a good sequel. And it’s monumentally better than the later titles.
    2700
  9. The first season is pretty special. And if you look at it quite "diverse". Women that are strong, a poc main character. But you somehow don't notice it. Almost as if they made likeable characters

  10. "Try not to fuck it up" -Marvel's new motivational posters around the offices.
    2700
  11. Palpatine ultimately won in the end after taking over the body of Rey after she struck him down and he committed identity theft of the Skywalker name after the demise of Kylo Ren, the last of the bloodline.
    2700
  12. "They're Written By Children." Well your characters are only ever as smart as you can write them.
    2700
  13. Three different people were like "Ellie, you're a natural leader." How? Why? What about her makes her a natural leader, and how is it apparent to so many people?
    2700
  14. I wanted. But I wanted it to be his escape from asylum, do more crazy stuff, go deep into some revenge plot. Not musical.
    2700
  15. At this rate who's going to have the worse Universe going forward ... Marvel or DC?

  16. I am 69 years old. I saw Snow White in 1962. I have just watched it for the second time, after all the intervening years. It is a wonderful movie. It is a historical treasure. What Disney is doing to it is a cultural war crime.
    2700
  17. Personal point of privilege: we prefer to call it Watchpeople!
    2700
  18. The old lady scene was really creepy until the CGI ruined it. I felt like I was watching Goosebumps 3
    2700
  19. Ahsoka is actually a Jigsaw creation designed to punish its audience for the crime of subscribing to Disney+
    2700
  20. I can’t remember the last time I was so engaged and shocked at the twists of a show like that.
    2600
  21. "Once you accept everything there's no need to strive for anything." .... Woah.
    2600
  22. Also, can we just talk about how Disney felt the need to elevate already strong female characters into "even stronger" by basically making their whole personality "badass female character"? For example, Belle was already a well written character, a girl who is nerdy and quiet but also knows where to stand up for herself or the people she cares about (rejecting Gaston directly, yelling at the Beast and refusing to join him for dinner, showing no qualms about walking away from him when he tried to scare her, scolding him later for not controlling his temper). But the live action? Belle is not strong enough, she needs an occupation to be a good character, so she is the scientist now. They also shoved in a few sexist comments that were too on the nose and cringy, to say the least. Jasmine? OG Jasmine was already strong. Again, she knew when to speak for herself and exactly what she wanted. She knew her own worth and she wanted a suitor who would accept her as a person, rather than for her title. But in the live action, Jasmine needs an ambition. She wants to be the sultan. And she positively insults all men (unlike in the animated version, where she only insults the over the top haughty princes) and has an entire song that talks about not allowing herself to be silenced when there were no instances of anyone trying to silence her. Again, "strong female character". And quite possibly the most unnecessary change was to Mulan. OG Mulan was arguably the most physically powerful female character but the creators felt the need to change that as well. OG Mulan was a socially awkward girl who cares about her family, and disguises herself as a soldier for selfless reasons. She is not perfect; she has to learn everything from scratch, she fails time and time again while training, she has to work her way to the top. She also used her brains in most of the fights because physical strength in itself isn't enough, and that's what made her stand apart from the others. She got along with the male characters perfectly well, with no need of comparison or proving herself to be better. But the live action version? That Mulan is born with magical chi, she has trained from when she was a child, so she has to face no difficulties when joining the army. The only thing stopping her from proving herself is the society; otherwise, she is perfect. She is far from being a realistic character because young girls would look at her and think, "well, she's strong because she was born with it". Not to mention, the live action Mulan was as boring as a slice of bread. She had no character other than "female warrior", emphasis on the "female". Basically, physical strength isn't everything. All of the OG princesses were strong in their own ways. Cinderella dealt with abuse and torment for years, but still kept her good morals and kindness. Snow White realized that running away from toxic situations is not cowardly. Tiana wanted to have an occupation to support herself and her mother, and worked hard for it. Ariel wanted to explore a new world that she didn't know, and be part of new experiences. Also. Romance is not weak. A strong female character can still fall in love. And if they choose to stay single, it should not be because "she's too independent for a partner". You can be in a relationship and still be independent. If the relationship is built on mutual trust and understanding, no one is "too strong" for it. I understand that aroace characters can exist, but their motive for not having a partner should not be "oh, I don't need a man"; it should just be that they're happier with friends or family, and they don't really feel the need to be in a relationship.

  23. The only reason Doctor Who should exist now is for Critical Drinker to make reviews.
    2600
  24. If Rian Johnson ever sees this video, he's gonna hit the like button and think to himself "Finally, someone who respects me!"
    2600
  25. I spoke to a friend yesterday who was telling me how much he's enjoying this series. I was forced to question his sanity, his taste & our friendship.

  26. Game of Thrones patch 8.5 notes: - Drogon's fire damage increased by 500%, does not cost any mana and now explodes rock. - Ballista's accuracy nerfed by 500% - Daenerys madness now does not have a cooldown

  27. “Hi! We’ve been around for centuries, but we’ve never helped before.” “So...you’re complete douchebags.”
    2600
  28. It's fantastic that they properly portrayed luffy as a happy idiot. Just as Oda intended. Not some edgy or cool hero for modern audiences.
    2600
  29. "Walk around seeing something is wrong with everybody and can't talk about fearing being discovered." I see what you did here....

  30. R.I.P Kris Khristofferson (AKA Whistler)

  31. Even with the flaws you mentioned, this movie will still be more popular and profitable than anything Disney/Marvel has crapped out in recent years.
    2600
  32. “Men are easily manipulated” Said the woman who was manipulated by men her whole life
    2600
  33. You either die a hero or live long enough to feature "the message" in a Disney sequel
    2600
  34. They fired the one woman actress who actually looked like she could pull off her fight scenes. Off the top of my head, she may have been the buffest canon human in star wars.
    2600
  35. It baffles me how Joel Schmaucher can both make some pretty solid movies, and then make Batman Forever and Batman and Robin
    2600
  36. My number 1 is the Drinker's liver vs. that final bottle of Jack Daniels.
    2600
  37. I'm an officer who has had to investigate child crimes. Thankfully, not to the degree Tim Ballard did, but is still takes a toll. Jim Caviezel gives a knockout performance. I concur with the drinker's analysis. What it took to get this movie into the theater is a story all it's own. Shame on Disney for seemingly trying to bury this movie. Everyone should go see this movie because we need people aware of the evil out there. Props to you drinker for covering and recommending it.
    2600
  38. How this movie got nominated for 13 f*cking Oscar nominations is beyond me!
    2600
  39. The moral is that masculinity is good, as long as it's woman exhibiting it.
    2600
  40. Drinker these are dark times, we need people like you to express our frustrations with modernity. Keep it up mate
    2600
  41. Disney not having a coherent three-movie storyline before filming the first movie and not having a reunion of arguably the three most beloved sci-fi characters in history was inextricably stupid beyond belief.
    2600
  42. "He Vadered, he Vadered!!!!" This is what passes for a movie critic in modern media. Another of her best quotes was "Mufasa is great if you just shut your brain off and try to enjoy it." Yes, I always love projects that discourage me from using my brain in any way, none of that pesky thinking to get in the way of me mindlessly consuming Disney content
    2600
  43. George should have never, EVER sold Lucasfilm to Disney. Full stop.
    2600
  44. "I really want to see more movies like this. Movies made by people with talent and skill, who actually care about telling good stories." The Critical . . . Dreamer!
    2500
  45. "Aww shit man, he's been writing for BuzzFeed this whole time" I died
    2500
  46. “Open the podbay doors HAL” HAL: “Nah, it’ll be fine”
    2500
  47. "No ones dumb enough to go where we're going." "CAN I BRING A KID?!!!!!!!!!"
    2500
  48. Big dumb monster "fun". I'm sure it'll find its audience, as Godzilla movies always do.
    2500
  49. "Lost boys." "But you're not all boys." "So??" "Well I guess it doesn't really matter" Top tier writing
    2500
  50. Oppenheimer involved real set construction and hired some of the most well-paid actors in Hollywood, and still came to a budget of 100mil. Matt Damon & RDJ said in interviews: he (Nolan) hates wasting money. So you get a sh*tty accommodation and no chairs on set but you don't care because every cent gets poured into the production. And if you're not working on the set, you're not allowed on'. The fact that a lot of them mentioned that multiple times goes to show how normal the waste of cash must be on other sets.
