  1. "...replacing the charisma void that was Chris Hemsworth and effectively writing Thor out of his own movie." Epic

  2. "TLJ, a film that pitted fans who hated it against people who pretended to like it." This is a hilarious, but entirely accurate overview of Disney era NuWars.

  3. If you're going to have a Mary Sue, pick a sexy actress who isn't afraid of her sexuality, wrap her in a latex bodysuit, and don't have her spout off about how terrible men are or how superior women are. Call me simple, but I enjoyed Resident Evil and Underworld. However, I didn't enjoy the JJ/Rian NuWars trilogy or Lieutenant Marvel (well, haven't seen that one, the glimpse in Endgame was more than enough).

  4. Writer /Director is ALWAYS a red flag and almost always a bad idea. They are different jobs requiring different talents and combing them has the compound negative effect of removing a system of checks and balances or adding a point of failure.

  5. "What are you doing, you fucking ham sandwich?!" Drinker Gold, right there!

  6. To clarify, Disney/ Kennedyfilm didn't actually "get away with it." "Solo" paid the price and so will ep. 9. 3:58 this bit sums up ep. 8.

  7. Fool me once shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again. Wise words from W sum up my thoughts on the Disney "nostalgia" grab.

  8. I just want you to say, "If it's not Scottish, it's crraaap!!"

  9. Hatches, fucking exactly. This nonsense isn't Star Wars. This definitely isn't Star Wars canon. If Disney keeps quadrupling down on NuWars, they'll find the golden goose dead at their feet.

  10. In this day and age of streaming and binge watching, recaps should be off by default, unless I activate them instead of having to push the "skip" button every episode.

  11.  @MrSGL21  - actually sounds like an oddly reasonable idea: over the top action, cars, and a Cena/Walberg reunion!

  12. Lucasfilm and Disney's SJW bent aside, based on the movies, it could've said "token negro" in his contract.

  13. FF10: Interstellar?

  14.  Funk Enstein  - I doubt it. JJ flat out said he wasn't.

  15. When it's so bad that the Disney shills value what little remains of their credibility more than access to this kind of garbage.

  16. Sadly, Jar Jar was a better villain, with a better character arc, than Kylo Ren.

  17.  @Relugus  - you're missing the point of what the Drinker said. Chris Hemsworth is very charismatic and has great screen presence in the role. Portman...not so much. Female Thor will bomb. Then the producers and media will attack men and fans for not paying up for drivel, just like happened with Disney Star Wars, Charlie's Angels reboot, Female Ghostbusters, Female Oceans, etc.

  18. On the upside, Critical Role (no relation to Critical Drinker) is providing us some fun with their DnD related animated series. Incidentally, watching their old campaign sessions on YouTube were surprisingly interesting. I never got into the DnD thing, but do enjoy fantasy. Those guys just have great chemistry. The woke bits are even pretty well fitted into the relevant characters.

  19. Scarlet Johansson is saying that as she's aging she wants to be valued for more than her looks, despite previously choosing roles that highlighted her sensuality. Basically, it's the war cry of all women as they charge head first into The Wall, once they've looked up from their front loaded smv skewed perspective to notice the reality ahead.

  20. In female Thor fashion, they could make female Luke. Then the SJWs could sign off on the strong female main character learning from the older, wiser female Luke. What? No. I'm not Rian Johnson. Why do you ask?

  21. Jenny Nicholson will have a scathing 4 hour review of Lucasfilm under Kathy's tenure when she finally does leave.

  22. "...drinking, wearing sunglasses indoors at night, and making YouTube videos...like a boss." Fixed that for ya

  23. 6:07 and, the characters and situations were plausible enough that audiences could empathize with the characters or see themselves in certain scenes. In the newer movies, you're just watching over the top action. It's the difference between walking in a jungle and just visiting the zoo to see the animals from outside the cage. I mean, sure, it can still be entertaining but it's not as good.

  24. Ironically, women can only be happy and fulfilled when they give in and relax into their natural feminine state. And, the reason a shirtless Chris Hemsworth is ok while a catsuit wearing heroine isn't OK is because Feminism teaches us that women's "equality" means having their cake and eating it too, women deserve the bigger half.

  25.  @jm40421  - Natalie Portman was good in films like "Closer" (2004), "Black Swan" (2010), and the like. But, so much for her "feminist ideals".

  26. "And... By that I mean the single biggest act of IP or brand annihilation ever." Good job Kathy. Edit, "She's like the turd that just wouldn't flush." It's only funny because it's true! Kathy is an out of touch, lying, narcissistic, misandrist. She keeps turning out crap, unable to fight her instinct to stick it to any white male Disney stock shareholders.

  28. 4:05 even John Campea said he didn't like it. That guy is Disney shill A#1 (well, until Disney didn't give him access to something recently - is he only positive about Disney when they give him access??)

  29. 7:31 Sooo... You're saying they should make another one? I'm sure the studio is listening!

  30.  @mortis-506  - Right. I was being sarcastic. I understand what he's saying. My comment was regarding what the studio is going to take away from the video, totally tone deaf and failing to read the audience.

  31.  @theawemazingcrew9702  - as I said iirc, always a red flag, usually a bad idea. So, not always a bad idea, but studios seem to like betting 100s of millions (and potentially an existing fan base) on unproven writer /director efforts. It's strange considering how with music, artists are (or were) very heavily steered by their A&R man and often weren't writing their own hits (even if they were writing some material). Again, obviously some do both well but getting a song just a certain way so that a label would want to promote it for airplay wasn't often left to chance on the artist's talent and the cost stakes were MUCH less than in film with a higher return on investment than movies. There's got to be lots of pissed off people who are capable of writing and directing but never see the money to get a project going...pissed because of the Cathy Yans and Rian Johnsons do get the chance in a big, big money way.

  32. Well, I'll tell ya what happened to the villain in the Disney Trilogy... He died partway through the 2nd of 3 disjointed films and we never learned much about him.

  33. I'll be watching my OT DvDs when it comes out.

  34.    - I'm guessing you're not a fan of Saturday Night Live from its early years

  35. I just wish Murray hadn't had his midlife "artistic" phase and would've signed on decades ago when there was talk about a sequel.

  36. Very meta

  37. Man. Drinker provides such an awesome service: preventing us from wasting our time and money on trash while providing 15 minutes of actual entertainment in the process.

  38.  @ShadowSonic2  - irrelevant. The Drinker's reviews are more entertaining than anything Taika Waititi could come up with.

  39. The Critical Drinker: putting the "fun" in fundamental.

  40. All I have to say is: Sean Connery's low, raspy voice saying "Pussy Galore". That's my James Bond.

  41. Prometheus was an OK watch. The next one ruined it's setup and was trash.

  42. Uhh, I didn't even know they made #3

  43. Because it's been 20 years...

  44. 3:45 I'm unsure if Drinker is referring to the Lady Ghostbusters movie or the Disney Star Wars films here. Probably both. His statement is relevant to several franchises ruined sexual re-appropriation.

  45. After a year of forgetting about it, this came up in my Amazon Prime suggestions. The preview does look somewhat interesting. With Morpheus not being Lawrence Fishburne and the big bad not being Weaving, those were red flags. A visit to Critical Drinker confirms my suspicions and reminds me why I never watched this. Also, fact check, Lana Wachowski is a man. I noticed Drinker referred to him as a her.

  46. So, you're saying that Natalie Portman, via Jane Foster, wants to wrap her slim, sexy fingers around the biggest, hardest hammer she possibly can? Well, the producer and film company must be taking advantage of poor innocent Portman and exploiting her: that Lady Thor movie sounds like a damn porno! And, it's not like Portman has ever done teh pron before (well, except "Closer" and "Black Swan" and various other films she's shucked her skivies in).

  47. Vader never needed a tissue to dab his eyes...or a fuity, aromatic conditioner for his womanly mane.

  48. 1:46 re, Rick flag The yellow shirt is pretty bad, but it's not as bad as oversized ball cap he wore in the first film, trying to make him look like an "operator". The props people gave him a hat so missized for his head he looked like a kid wearing his dad's cap. I couldn't look past it, it was so distracting.

  49. My penis isn't even interested in this crap.

  50. I've liked Johansson since The Perfect Score. However, I don't understand the whole "older actress playing younger character" thing. I don't care for cgi de-aging. It seems like they didn't really think through the timing of the prequel or the death of the actual character. Taika Waititi is a dumbass and full of himself. I don't know what I want until he gives it to me? No, thanks. I know I don't want anything from Taika and certainly won't pay to see anything with his name attached to it.
