This show and your review had me audibly wheezing at several intervals. Thank you, JLB. I hate you, Netflix
I don't blame you for not wanting to watch the entire season. This is Batwoman season 2 levels of bad cringe, thrown in with horrible sex scenes. Eesh.
God fucking jeezzuzz, my hoodie cant close more because the cringe is TOO MUCH! you are such a legend, the COURAGE, I mean the BRASS BALLS you have to have to go trough this bullshit is navey seals level shit
Ok, this was painful enough.
Please do the rest of the season.
When you make the white teacher more based than the rebel teenager, you're a terrible writer.
The one time I've seen the whole mean teacher thing actually work was in The Breakfast Club, and that's because the movie wasn't about how "everyone's racist and woke teens are based", it was about the disconnect between the older and younger generations. His character was exaggerated, but the movie managed to make its point - all these teachers that they try to make "evil" seem to always be in the right; the guy doesn't want some annoying girl lecturing him about the syllabus? That's more than fair enough, all I can do is be on his side in that scene.
Especially since these teens aren't mouthing off to their teachers in real life, they're just tweeting about it whenever they get the chance. If you want to make teenagers realistic maybe don't give them a crazy amount of confidence to the point where they're just irritating? Just a thought.
@@cranberryrosebud I think another example would be Whiplash. J.K. Simmons is an unapologetically ruthless music teacher who gives Miles Teller a really hard time, but he actually pushed Miles beyond his limits as a drummer.
Though it would be fantastic if done intentionally.
@@michaelstrong5383 Dude his characters insult game in that movie was on point.
No lie detected here.
It's crazy how Narcissism equals intelligence nowadays lol
Vanity and stupidity are siblings.
For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10)
We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️
Ok, but with all those Tiktoks of people hating on Ginny gives me hope in humanity.
Also, I think that's because sassy = cold hard facts.
This show wants to be so woke and progressive and groundbreaking and then straight up has Ginny’s black dad just ✨abandon✨ his kid 💀
I guess after the hype around George Floyd died down, black men have gone back to being the white people of black people in the eyes of the woke. 🤷🏾♀
Yup!
You ppl clearly didn’t watch the show or just lack brain cells. Georgia ran away with her💀 conservatives have media literacy challenge impossible
"Texas! That's so exotic! Are you allowed to be gay in Texas?"
Kill me.
Somebody already did. This show is hell.
Grew up in rural Texas, turned out bi. Never discriminated against a day in my life. Why? Because I'm not a dumb cunt. That's why.
I'm from the deep south and I remember being a kid and the Methodists used to do these cross dress weddings as a joke. And no body gave a shit! It was for fun!
@@rachelstanford9784 stop! you'll ruin their narrative
I pictured white hoods when she said that.
“Do they even let you be gay in Texas?”
I’m Texan... and grew up in a conservative Catholic family... my godfather was a gay man in a long term relationship with a black man...
RIP uncle Billy, you were a good man.
Wdym "in texas you are allowed to kill gay people" a redditor told me that last month
@@mrminecraftcubeable you seriously believe that? Bro don't listen to the redditors damn XD
@@jackiechan3202 mah i don't believe that, but i have seen people on reddit saying that
I get it all the time in la. "Your from the south? Are you allowed to be gay there?"
I'm like bitch do you not know about our drag scene?!
@@chbend shouldn't be a surprise since here in America everyone can't point out a country correctly for shit XD
You know the SJW main character is a wish fulfilment when she's a Girl Boss (tm) who just confounds everyone instead of the cowardly narcissist who goes straight to the principal whenever she's bored.
Isn't it great to see a person who (I'm assuming) is against things like racism and sexism call out the teacher for not assigning books along race a sex lines and assuming that all white men share an ideaology.
You're wrong sir, don't you know people share a hive mind with others of same race.
"What? No, I'm not being a hypocrite you racist!"
Conrad is the same as Hemingway who was identical to Shakespeare who was also totally Fitzgerald. All white, all the exact same author. Just like how Black Panther is the exact same as a MLK speech...
Racism to them only exists if it is a white person doing it (much like sexism). In most of the SJW speech if you replace "man" with jew ..you would go to jail. And if you switch the man and the woman it would be unacceptable and an example of toxic masculinity.
Feminism is not against sexism, it is pro-women. Racial movements are not against racism, they are anti-white.
You can trust those people to have a balanced viewpoint the same way you can trust sports fanatic when they say their team is the best and the other team sucks.
We do, we even have a ranking system of who be the whitest based on race. We are an all inclusive ideology that allows decaffeinated Africans to join at the lowest tier, and if they are lucky and marry the right people maybe their children will move up the priviledge hierarchy.
Yes We even include gingers at tier 0. Mostly because they are the whitest home slices you'll come around but at the same time they aren't the kinda white we are looking for. They make great enforcers tho, as they can suck melanin from the skin. Did you know that? Its kinda freaky.
There are also other ways we can determine the tiers, such as how good are you at golfing? How on fleek your dad jokes are, and the greatest question of all can you dance like our greatest white symbol napoleon dynamite?
If so you might be eligible for a white card.
Oh God, Ginny's not like other girls! 🤦♂️
Well... to be fair; I've never known a girl as giant a c@nt as Virginia
nope! she's MIXED!!!
Oh mah gawd, she's just like meee!
And what's hilarious is that people who wrote Ginny think "not like other girls" is a very sexist sentiment.
She's definitely like other girls:
Petty,obnoxious and man - hungry.
Man I feel bad for teen girls: the shows that try to depict a strong independent archetype inadvertently makes their character so unlikeable so its like they’re telling girls they have to conform if they don’t want to be exceedingly pretentious and hate able like Virginia here.
Yes, exactly!
Ikr
holy this is the word i was looking for she was so hateable and shes the protagonist man i hate these woke shows
Right exactly. And when you call out problematic stuff in teen dramas, people like Lindsay Ellis claim teen dramas are mocked because of hatred for teen girls or some sh*t. When really it actually means we think teen girls are smarter and deserve better stories.
@@janhavi1977 exactly
I’m a Hispanic woman, the daughter of a Mexican immigrant who experienced actual racism. My mom encouraged my love of books no matter who wrote them. My all time favorite books as a kid was the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jane Austen, and Charles Dickens were such inspiring writers for me and shaped who I am. Ginny is a small minded bigot to judge the greatest authors in human history just because they are white or male. Both of which they had no control over.
I'm a black woman and slowly working my way through all Jane Austen novels. I'm surprised how much I'm liking them. Also recently read Jane eyer loved it. A good story is a good story. 💁♀️
Edgar Allen Poe is also really good. And, fun fact: Sherlock Holmes was inspired by the detective character in Murders in The Rue Morgue.
Sorry, Netflix says your mom is a misogynistic racist or something because you read some of the best literature the world has to offer. How dare you.
I'm a white woman and I don't like Jane Austen's books (I don't like love stories in general), so yeah, race and gender has nothing to do with whether or not you'll like something. My favorite authors are Mark Twain, H. P. Lovecraft and Neil Gaiman.
Hispanic? No I'm the one who's panicing after watching this video.
*-"OPPRESSION OLYMPICS, LET'S GO."*
As a black woman, I cackled & imploded of cringe and confusion at the same time. This could not have been said unironically 💀✋🏽
I find it hilarious that Jenny’s mom got knocked up by a black guy and was abandoned, this perpetuating the absent black father stereotype
I bet he was run of town by the racist texans.
She wasn’t abandoned actually. She’s the one who kept running away.
Did you even watch the show??????? Is “abandoned” in the room with us rn? Georgia ran away
This show is one giant "somebody actually wrote this" - The Longman Mauler
Followed by "Don't worry, it gets so much worse."
Topped off by the patented "What. The. Fuck.".
"WHO............ WROTE............THIS?!"
And one big NOUGH
@@lordofthepizzapie9319
My exact thoughts about the scenes 15:09 - 17:23
When did glorifying misery as a desirable character trait become a thing? It doesn't make your character seem mature it makes them seem like a spoiled, entitled brat who didn't get their way and is upset they have to live with the rest of the general population instead of being placed on a pedestal for simply existing.
Because we’re supposed to sympathize with their struggles. We’re supposed to reach for the tissues every time our plucky protagonist just doesn’t quite fit in. Those kids in Grave of the Fireflies got nothing on self-entitled teenagers who can’t make friends.
@@David_the_Psalmist Never-mind that most of these shows have less character development than most goofy 70's-80's sitcoms. Heck just picking out one in "Three's Company" over time Jack becomes less sexual especially to even joking with his now longer friend female roommates and the gay jokes were fewer after the guy who acted more tolerant (half of jack's issues come from having to play the part, especially over the top at times to make living with two females ok with the landlords)). Oh and we get episodes focusing on going from culinary school to working at a restuarant to owning one. This ginny girl couldn't fathom that kind of hard work, regardless she's in a "advanced" class, she is only there because of plot armor.
Because being a "victim" now gives you privilege and free shit.
Honestly the first thing I thought of when reading that was Rick and Morty. Especially with how much Rick complains about being smarter than everyone and he’s always the smartest man alive but he’s miserable because he’s alone among a sea of troglodytes (at least in his eyes). The show is so nihilistic and miserable it’s amazing that it’s put up on a pedestal. Then again with how many people go “omg same!” When it comes to that show it’s becoming clearer where a possible trend might be coming from
"When did glorifying misery as a desirable character trait become a thing?"
Probably the mid-90s through the mid-2000s, and I say that in all seriousness. All these bitchy characters are written by people, mostly women, who grew up watching "Daria" on MTV. Later on, they latched on to the Jon Stewart version of The Daily Show, which made acting like a smug, know-it-all asshole seem like the right way to engage people.
If you want to get to the heart of why modern media characters are so insufferable, look no further than those two shows.
The funny thing is that in my highschool year I met girls (and boys aswell) being like Ginny and, big surprise, these people were the most bullies I have ever met (they insulted me everytime I breathe, stealing my money, even threating me), and then they show their victim complex and virtue signaling to the professors or on social media. I hate how Netflix wants to show them as "good people" because in reality they are the worst kind of people to meet on teenhood
Preach
Can confirm. My sister had a friend who switched genders at least twice, and he was absolutely awful to her. And then they had a transgender mutual friend who defended him with some weird victim logic. The part that pissed me off is that my sister has Aspergers and act a little different. I have the same thing so I understand it. You'd think that people who are all about social justice wouldn't make fun of someone for being a little on the different side, but apparently they were more oppressed than her and that made it okay.
They are experts in the art of cry bullying.
@@insertwittyname5649 I know this is a little late, but some of my classmates obviously didn’t understand high-functioning autism. I wasn’t bullied, but they certainly weren’t too nice to me because of my poor social skills (which I’m trying to work on), so I can understand. It’s amazing how some people selfishly claim to be the opposite of who they are on the inside. I don’t know why teens look up to such awful characters like Ginny. I hope you and your sister are doing okay.
@@misssmidnight Luckily we're both out of school now. I've found high school is just a generally negative place, but now I'm pretty close with my coworkers. My sister has more difficulties than me, but we take it one step at a time.
_'i might internalize a viewpoint-'_ *You don't even know your fucking FATHER*
JL just killing me over here!
"I might internalize a viewpoint that created the most advanced society humanity has ever seen".
I just recognized the actress playing Georgia, she was playing the bartender having an affair with Kate in Batwoman 😂
Ooouh..my-god!
😂 from woke to more woke, cringe to ultimate cringe.
She was also in Scream Queens and The Exorcist series reboot so I wanna give her a little bit more credit 😂😂😂
Oh shit. She looks like she got way older, not that she looks old or unattractive in any way
@@connorm2035 .... as in one of the teenage daughters? 😱
"You're white AND male - so there ya go.. I just pwned you"
Movie teacher: "I SAY young lady, I'm just shocked by how un-orthodoxic you are! harrumph!"
IRL teacher: "Hey... Hey... sit down, be quiet...I'm not getting paid enough to do this sh*t and I'm THIS close to shoot myself"
I think an IRL teacher would have failed her on the spot.
If it was me I would have given her an addition 200 questions as well as a 50,000 word essay to be done by Friday or F.
IRL Teacher: congratulations your first F and trip to the principals office.
😂 Teachers in media are authority figures. In my school they were trying to help us get ahead in life now and then and make sure we were on track to pass. My most no nonsense teachers were also my favorites. They would have shut her down and continued with the lesson.
My English teacher back in highschool was built like a Marine. He had huge muscles, no hair, and voice that can be gentle as well as terrifying when needed. He could've just stood over her and quietly asked her to back to her seat and she'd comply out of fear.
How the main character in this show tell someone else "You're trying too hard too be edgy" when that's her entire character.
As someone who has actually worked at a domestic abuse center for years, the standards in main stream media that count as abuse in its eyes not only makes my blood boil for real life victims , but also genuinely terrify me , like there are real existing teenagers and adults that think that taking an interest in your child's daily life and safety by reinforcing rules ,boundaries and discipline actually constitutes as abusive behavior , i mean my god whats next ? A parent telling their child no being a form of neglect ?
It’s painful
I just saw a post from a woman who claimed that you can't be her man if you ever tell her no, so I guess... yes?
The relationship between the mother and the daughter feels like Starfire and Mandy in another universe lol
Gawd mom, stop caring about me! You're such a bitch who just doesn't get it.
Except Ginny doesn’t look like a blob. At least she’s somewhat pretty.
"Oppression Olympics, let's go!" - A pair of middle-class teenagers in a first-world nation.
In context, he only said that cuz his bitch of a gf accused him of not understanding how hard it is for her as a black woman because he's only half asian and "tolerable".
Also, how tf is an Asian oppressed?
This dialogue reads like if Jordan Peele got into high school dramas.
Oooof true
LOL perfect
If this ain't the truth, I don't know what is.
True story
"I can't read these books, because the authors who wrote them had the wrong skintone" - their supposedly intelligent mc
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The same authors who most likely knew more than she did by the age of ten.
“16 books?”
“If that’s too much, you can drop down to normal English.”
“14 of those books were written by men-“
*”ok, into special ed you go.”*
I swear to god the people who wrote this show shot from childhood straight into college because they REALLY don't sound like teenagers AT ALL.
This is someone trying to rewrite their own high school history.
That's what I was thinking because all of the dialogue is something you would see in a show about college not high school
Fun fact: Georgia actress was Reagan in first season of Batwoman.
I knew I recognized her but it wasn't lasting. Probably because if it wasn't for how unbelievably stupid Kate Kane was in the episode her and Reagan "got it on," with a book that was made to have clues/hints in code how to kill Batman was right there (like she has a motorcycle can she not go back, drop it off, and go back in like a quick time to Reagan? No?) was way worse than the Batman credit card. Or most things, at least until Batwoman got a S2.
did the...did the mom kill that rapist guy?!? the cops can DEFINITELY trace it back to her, wtf are these writers thinking?!?!?1?1?
They aren't, and they get paid for it.
They think”your gonna like it because you can get away with that”
the better question is what does it anything to do with a show like this even if it wasn't woke? Is it a freaking soap opera or promoted as such, or in the more conventional way you just wouldn't do that. I mean the only thing that is as bad as wokeness ruining everything is writing in plot stuff that's so contrived and obsurd it doesn't even belong. And unlike this show most tend to like to wait til closer to the end of S1 or even try to make their show seem needing of 5+ seasons by tossing it in by season 3. If you do it in the first episode of any kind of material (again non woke or not) just take it out back, shoot it, and burn it. This kind of dumpster fire trash has no reason to have ever gotten past one script.
Yes. But the mom covers her tracks. Georgia is best thing out of this trainwreck of a show.
@@giveandtake8428 i hate the mom slightly less than her daughter, but i still really don't like her.
I would never tolerate her attitude if I was that teacher.
"Alright listen here *Virginia* , I don't have the patience nor the salary to deal with your woke nonsense, so either you get it out of your system right now or you're out of my class."
"also. We're looking at the mind of the person at hand. Not the skin color. But if you want to be another racist hoe, you can talk about how much their skin color makes you uncomfortable and you don't like white folks while we progress into the age of agreement and non-racist and study their human mind over their skin.
Well. Go ahead, because we don't welcome racism. Prove to all the racists you're the monster they think you are. Or act better, your choice." 💋👄❤️🔥💅
"Also name any prominent black power author and I can absolutely guarantee you........... they are nowhere near as good as J.R.R Tolkien. The difference is he's renowned for focusing on writing and world building and NOT for his skin color"
@@yikesyourchunkyhostilityha2321 "You wanna focus on books not written by white men start a book club and read them on your own time; don't sit in this class with a shallow racist attitude wasting *mine*
You'd probably get fired
@@Poptart21298 It would probably be worth it.
I get they make teens a specific way to make them "flawed" and "relatable". But oh god, don't make them so bad to the point where nobody even cares about what happens to them. Make them at least a bit likeable. And the themes and messages are so hamfisted and in your face!!
It's a woke show, clearly made by SJWs; They don't know the meaning of the word "Subtlety."
This is why I can't fathom how anyone non-woke or activist SJW didn't hate the new child's play series. Every character is a total douche, with no redeeming qualities except for...1 and...1/2 if the main's bad acting and poor portrayal was overlooked. Silly thing is several of the points could've been subtle af, but they are just so over the top with the same crap these days you quickly hate these people. Then wonder why your supposed to care if they literally do anything besides being increasingly bored b4 moving on.
@@oneandonlysound3453 The reason is because they’re not watching for those characters. They’re watching for Chucky, and they want to see those characters die, and not feel bad about it. Same thing as, say, the Final Destination movies, and how their cast is basically insufferable.
@@MrNickPresley while you have a great point, such shows failure to follow through makes us watch trash pandering hoping to get to a good part, as opposed to knowing we got like 1hr30min to watch it unfold. Whether its TV or film so much suffers from bloated runtime over useless characters these days.
Having seen the first season, I can 100% confirm that this is cringe that's frustrating to watch at times and hilarious at other times, but boy that ending was like "huuuuh??"
Please, do tell
Writers, just because you critique toxic tropes in other media, doesn't give you the leeway to promote the same damn tropes in your own shows.
So a woman can do a "toxic masculinity" with the kids nose. But if a guy did it. Show must be cancelled.
Saw your comment before I got to that part of the video. I can't believe they left that scene in, and they have the "lol so quirky" music playing too, what on planet Earth...
If a guy did it what? Georgia is a murderer but you think the worse thing she did was breaking a kid’s nose? No one’s saying Georgia is a good person. « Toxic masculinity » she is killing people dude what are you talking about
@@cali6580 My point is this scene and the show should be cancelled. Due to showing these actions. If a guy was doing it. Everyone would demand this. Woman, no one cares. She's just a evil character. Either both or none.
@@mbob4337 But that’s what i’m saying if the show was based on a man and it was established that he’s a bad person and he’s killing ppl no one would care if he broke a kid’s nose. So your argument doesn’t make any sense. There’s no double standards here people would’ve had the same reaction if it was a man.
@@cali6580 ""People who don't wanna watch this trash" yes, but wokeists or those who just consume, no they'd be calling it disgusting everywhere. And yes I am saying if your fully aware of the wokeist cult and how braindead it actually is and still go for it, you must be a sub-species or just braindead. It's no different than how it got some attention but nobody called for Patty Jenkin's removal over that rap stuff in WW84 with Steve in some rando's body while they have sex. If it was the other way around everyone would been super pissed besides critics who compared it to Richard Donner Superman of all things.
Every Netflix mixed race black-white character i've seen (2) the mom is a "free spirit" kind of woman
Is that euphemism for hoe?
That's usually how it goes tbh. As fucked as it is, I've met ALOT of mixed race girls exactly like ginny. One of them was a high school bully who bullied other mixed kids, like my friend and myself.
@Eevee* Yea it's defs insecurity. Most of these mix girls who had a white mother grew up in majority white suburbs and were pretty well off. When they got to high school, and started discovering their 'identity' (as most teenagers do) they usually go through an identity crisis about their black side, and try to lean in super hard into woke black politics to compensate for their mostly white background. I grew up in an entirely black family and neighborhood (as my white father wasn't in the picture, he went to get some milk and never came back 😢lol) but had exposure to white people through public school, so when I got to high-school I didn't really have an issues with accepting both my white and black sides.
@@toastedbabybuns1000 it's not just mixed girls. This also applies to well off black girls that went to private school.
@@LadySquiffington oh yea I've defs seen that as well.
Netflix always baffle me. For every amazing show on their service, like Daredevil and Arcane, there's always a handful of terrible shows at the other end of the spectrum.
Have you watched any of the south Korean shows on Netflix because all them are amazing miles Better than all the shit that comes out of Hollyweird.
@@michaeldonovan231 Not really, though I have heard many great things about Squid Game. I did watch some of their anime, and it's hit-or-miss. Komi Can't Communicate is my favorite, despite Netflix half-assing the subtitles.
@@michaelstrong5383 you MIGHT like the Silent Sea. I watched it recently and I liked it, though the dialogue can be pretty dull sometimes.
For every Arcane and Daredevil, there is at least 20 other dick in eye hole shows
@@-Azure.EXE- yes your right but I watch all the South Korean show and they are all amazing and nothing woke about them just great characters and story check some out you will love them.
I feel personally offended by Ginny character because I'm a mix girl (black and arabic) who was also in a lot of honors/AP literature classes. I read books because I found the story intriguing and interesting and read books from a lot of diverse authors and never have been this stuck up and pretentious about it. And I'm soooo glad I didn't have to deal with this chick irl because no one would have liked her.
White men were writing in English long before everyone else, so naturally there's also a lot more white guys that stood out as amazing when compared to everyone else. It's not on them that they lived in more exclusionary times. Besides, good writers can write from anyone's perspective, just as good readers can empathize, so who even gives a shit. If I couldn't get anything out of say, Little Women, just because it was written woman, or features other women that would be all on me.
And then the creators of the show are confused about why viewers don't like the main protagonist. They somehow think this behavior is cute and endearing.
@@treasuremage7546 Yeah, it's almost like most Japanese books are written by Japanese people, most Chinese books are written by Chinese people, and so on...
The writers of the show would probably tell you you were indoctrinated and brainwashed into liking stories not penned by someone with your exact ethnic background. Sad, but that's the road they're going down, with what Ginny is preaching.
I'm a white male. Spring 2020, I read for my literature class Cathedral by Raymond Carver, Sonny's Blues by James Baldwin, and re-read Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Gilman. I love the one by the one female author, I like the one by a black author, and I thought the white male author's was kinda dull and a little lost on its message. But then I also read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, who also happens to be white, and I loved it. Race just does not factor into how *much* someone can get out of art. It may influence *what* you get out of the art, but no one can say, "This reading list featuring too many authors of one gender/ethnicity won't appeal to anyone unlike them."
I'm mixed race as well (Mexican/Cambodian), and to be honest, I also think this show is stupid.
It's like most of these writers don't know how to write teenagers or actual stories, they're just here to preach their nonsense.
I love the mom's storyline...but HATE Ginny's. And everyone I know feels the same.
After the season finale...yeah Georgia is a total psycho. Love it...but Ginny can go away & stay gone.
The CW has serious competition.
You can’t just write an irredeemable asshole and then try to get the audience to sympathize with her because she was molested. Especially in such a ham-fisted and sudden way.
It’s possible to write a sympathetic asshole with a tragic past, but not when their trauma is just a drive-by plot point. Shit like that shouldn’t be character seasoning; being molested isn’t a quirky character trait. Trauma doesn’t immediately equate to a deep person.
But that’s only one of many bad writing decisions that for some reason no one stopped to question when making this show. 😑 Thank you for suffering once again for our amusement
Same thoughts with Madison from American Horror Story Coven at episode 1!! Or episode 2.
"I'm afraid I might internalize [white man's] ideology"
Translation: "I'm afraid I might learn something from a white man that makes me question my preexisting, racist biases."
She's worse than Amber from invincible got dang I didn't think that was a feat that was possible but God dang Netflix you did it
There all the same.
Smug, condescending, and utterly insufferable to be with.
They're a prime example of how to make the most hateable human in fiction.
I've been reading the Invincible comics, and I'm amazed on how likable Amber is compared to her animated counterpart. There's even one issue where she's in an abusive relationship. There's no way the Amazon show would ever do that story, not because they couldn't handle the subject matter, but because Amber is so unlikable in the show, it wouldn't give the viewers any reason to empathize with her.
At least Amber got to episode 7 for everyone to hate her, it only took us episode 1 for us to hate Ginny
I think they're on the same level of insufferable, but at least Amber didn't cheat.
@@michaelstrong5383 comic amber figures out mark is invincible and the next time she sees him and he is struggling to tell her something she just comes out and says it, "tell me you are Invincible", he is relieved, confeses everything,she is the first person to actually talk to about his father, has a cry, and they bang
Between this and Cuties I unironically wonder if Netflix has anything coming close to a quality control department.
I'm not sure if the concept even exists to them.
Ginny definitely does not come off as more mature than her mother.
If this is their idea of maturity, that explains a lot
If Ginny's mom gets together with the non-white barista guy that will really work out for her. He'll give Ginny a job at the coffee shop when she gets out of college with her useless Gender Studies & Women's English Literature degrees. She can immediately get started paying off her wasted student loan for the next 30 years.
😂😂😂😂. It’s so funny but I can definitely see that happening and then she’ll be on her knees scrubbing the floors while crying white male oppression.
Lol
"useless women's English literature"?
@@ArcaniaSkypirateDen9516 Women's literature is fine in and of itself. It's getting a degree in it that is useless and a waste of money. Let me know what much needed job is remotely interested in a specialization in Women's English Literature outside of the job of teaching Women's English Literature.
I am two seconds away from tiger uppercutting Ginny to the moon.
God imagine a show about one of these characters but it’s realistic and everyone just hates them, I’d definitely watch that
Insufferable doesn't equal strong or smart or complex or compelling. When will this lesson be learned? 😒
When insufferable douchebags realize they’re not cool, and nobody likes them.
So, never.
Just the description of the show was enough to make my eyes roll on reflex when it first showed up on Netflix. Then the clip played and I wanted a lobotomy. GiNnY makes Zendaya's character in _Spider-Man: Homecoming_ tolerable by comparison.
Wow. That's...wow.
It's makes Far From Home tolerable too, and to me, that's even worse.
I only remember this show's name because Taylor Swift called them out on a joke based on her relationship history.
Same. Ironic that this woke show used a woman as a punchline for a joke, and judged her relationship history. Not very feminist of them!
That woman would be arrested for assault on a minor, not to mention what a parent might do if one of their kids came home and told what happened.
If the mother and teacher, even just the mother, had been black, this entire show wouldn't exist, why can't writer realise how shallow they set the story and characters up to be?
Ok time for my submission to the oppression olympics.
My ancestors were gifted astrologists and tacticians for their time, and then decided to use these gifts for their gods and “good”. They systematically erased neighboring people’s and colonized the areas, capturing enemies for the express purpose of murdering them in creative ways, like spike pits, beheading, and other fun methods. They enslaved whoever wasn’t them and made them build their cities, I am latino, and speaking if the Mayan. Do I qualify for the oppression olympics?
Late reply but my guy dropped a nuke on this show lmao
I wanna see how she'd react to a person from the Comanche tribe. I'm sure they've got plenty of stories to tell.
I don’t think I’ve seen a worse introduction to the MC of a show than… this, whatever it is.
The only potential match would be Kate Kane
Kate Kane walked so Virginia could make mouth noises in her AP class
@@lemonnomel9416 A truly inspiring tale of the downtrodden using the inspiration of their heroes to rise up 😭
I think Ryan Wilder took the cake.
‘Ginny’ thinks she’s so cool but in reality ppl fantasize about her kissing the concrete
I bet she doesn't even know who John Hughes is.
Netflix really needs to stop making shows and movies. 9 times out of 10, they always suck.
Eh….. nah
A lot shows were good
Trollhunters
Dragon prince
King julien
Robozuna
Oh
And Mitchell’s vs machines?
Next gen
That shit was fuckinh
Amazing
So
No
@@dimitriwarchief301 yes, but most of the shows they make are crap. There are some gold nuggets (the shows you listed), but the overwhelming majority are crap.
That "creepy old man" is George Buza!
You may know him better as the voice of Beast in the OG X-Men Animated Series.
Why is it in all these recent shows/movies featuring teenage girls, they’re writing them as the most obnoxious, self absorbed, people. Yet somehow they’re still likable. I really hope teens aren’t acting like this 💀
Honestly at this point, shows and movies like this are pretty much the same. Main protagonist is some girl boss who is not like other girls. And the whole thing is what SJWs love. Same formula over and over.
Alot good stories are like that too
Boy wants to be unique
His dad not fully understand
Blah blah blah
But the difference is that’s good and this girl boss stuff is insurrubale. We need people like Katie Mitchell not these bitches
The actress who played Georgia is the chick who dated Batwoman in season 1 who everyone thought was gonna be Magpie
Insufferable doesn't equal strong or smart or complex or compelling. When will this lesson be learned? 😒
3:14 hate this because it's a trap. He can either a) say that white men just so happen to be really good authors, followed by student walkouts, then losing his livelihood, becoming unemployable, dissolving his marriage, making everybody hate him. or
b) apologize, disavow the authors, and pledge to unlearn colonial thinking and promise to Do Better but there is still Much Work To Be Done in order to dismantle deeply rooted notions of white supremacy.
This teacher would be fucked irl. Ginny would be a smug-faced harbinger of total destruction.
she is so ungrateful to her mom
i cant believe how many times i said ugh whenever scenes from the show played and i used to be a drug addict
I think I just died of second-hand embarrassment. Who made this? Who greenlit this? Just... why?
Edit: according to Wikipedia, this even got renewed for a 2nd season?!
From the same streaming service that gave Big Mouth multiple seasons.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
I’m sorry. Is she judging the value of the books by the skin color and sex of the person who wrote them?
I think that’s a _little_ bigoted. Just a smidge.
What I'd LOOOOVE to do is force her to make a list of 15 Non-White books for the class to read and then watch as she picks the most pretentious and one note selection possible.
.
Since lets face it, a person who chimes about diversity like she does probably doesn't read all that many "diverse" books that aren't just reaffirmations of her world view.
Pretty bad when you have movies like "Meangirls" which just might be some of the funniest material of it's nature, depict teachers like actual real people and those other people around them. Granted part of that films point was to take apart tropes/stereotypes but in doing so it proves how many exist, what happens, etc. But in most tv shows or films teachers are always somehow more inhuman than the ones who get caught on zoom saying they don't wanna "teacher" lol. P.S. Definitely "if the CW redid Gilmore girls" vibes, except everyone here is talentless and has no idea how it worked in any way at all. The "everybody is miserable" part might've also worked if it was written out where the girl was like "I'll explain it more" and it came from personal stuff or just a negative viewpoint. However, from someone who is 100% "that bitchy stupid fake girl nobody actually likes except maybe one dumb simp" and the simp is literally Virginia.
Max's GF from the Goofy movie I fucking LOL'd!!!!
When you have four writers, that's seldom a good sign. When three of them are white writers trying desperately to be progressive and edgy, you know you're in for a bad time. The fourth writer is black, so they must have an episode set around Black History month they need him to write.
Considering the main character is in an English class, I think it's totally fair to want to have a reading list with a wider variety of authors. It's still bratty to bring it up, the WAY she did, though. Like, if you have a beef with the material, make critiques WITHIN the assignments you're given. Don't poo-poo the teacher, who likely ALSO got handed the reading list and doesn't have say in the matter.
It'd be funny if the teacher just slapped her and told her to shut her fucking face.
I used to have a class with a girl who wanted different books (from different cultures) but she was nice enough to do it after class between periods. She wrote a list of books American students weren't familiar with but were well known in other countries. The big difference is that she did it because she truly loves literature, not because she wanted to one-up her teacher. I'm pretty sure he was happy about it too because it showed he had a student that was interested in class. I work with a high school teacher and she would KILL for that type of girl lol
@@insertwittyname5649 Yeah, as a teacher? I would greatly appreciate a student like that; making it clear that their reservations about the class material comes from them being passionate about the work, not just "lol you're so behind the times old man; look, I know about these non-white authors, be in awe of my brain"
@@kylefrank638 Well the thing that she did was instead of basing her list off race she gave one to a country. So you'd have one for America, England, Russia, Italy, Japan and so on. She included at least two from every continent... minus Antarctica lol. Most were books, but she put in some poems about the struggles people went through at certain times. I feel awful because there was a whole period spent on the background of every one and I can barely remember any. 😅 I think Japan had "Wagahei wa Neko de aru," but that's all I've got. She was so proud of herself too. I wish I appreciated it more now. I ended up loving my world literature class in college, so I think I took that for granted.
@@insertwittyname5649 I admire that dedication, and I'm glad she made an impression on you, another student! Literature has been the highlight of my college experience so far, even though it's not my major. I'm considering changing, because I seem to jive with it more than other classes that I thought would be more up my alley.
This is also the show that made a Taylor Swift joke that the woke crowd tried to denounce, only to get the show more publicity than Netflix paid for during its run.
Appreciate the new content J. I know editing these things have got to feel like a chore sometimes, but we all appreciate it. ✌😎
Now I get what my parents talked about when they told me bad tv shows rot your brain
My brain cells are baked just from watching this summary
Lady in the middle looks like black Emma Watson.
Badly dyed blonde hair plus "un-dead caterpillar" eyebrows never works out for the best.
If your hair is that dark, dye the eyebrows.
Only Lee Pace as Thranduil can pull it off.
I am also very into literature and I'm a woman who loves authors such as JRR Tolkien, Rudyard Kipling, JM Barrie, and others. I don't understand the message this show is trying to give off because it makes it seem like people can't enjoy literature unless it was written by someone who looks the same as them which is totally wrong. As a kid I loved hearing the original Pooh stories, loved the adventures of Peter Pan and Wendy, and connected with the free but isolated Mowgli, not caring that these books were written by men because they are some of the best childrens stories in history. I do not need the author to agree with me or look like me to enjoy their work and those that do - such as Ginny here - are very shallow and shouldn't call themselves literature nerds.
I hope that at some point in the show, Ginny gets pregnant and then her mom helps her because she had no help when she was pregnant.
This show is the TV version of ValiDate.
They got the title wrong. It's called everything wrong with modern society
Not quite everything...
"Modest humble barista of color" made me lose it XD
wow, if there was ever a main character in a story that I wanted to stuff headfirst into a _stump grinder,_ this is it..
The mom got them Emilia Clark brows
I watch your channel to specifically to remind myself why I don't have a Netflix account.
18:55 To be fair to Netflix and 13 Reasons Why (the first season), all they did was adapt the book. I remember watching it when it came out and thinking, ‘yeah, this is the book’, except they made the suicide more graphic for some reason and fleshed out the cardboard cutout main character. Honestly, Netflix did it better, so what does that say about the book?
I’m not defending Netflix exactly, because yeah they do 0 quality control on what they green light, but 13 (the book) was a #1 bestseller before they adapted it. And I’m not kidding when I say it’s worse.
As a mix race person I denounce GYnny
She def inherited her mom's eyebushes.😬
In her "it's Jinnyyyyy"🙄 scene it's basically a unibrow.🥸
7:03 Please no, can't lose another red-head/ginger to woke casting 😅
Fatherless: The Series
Have some mercy on yourself, too much of an exposure to this woke cringefest can cause cancer.
We worry about you 😭
"The greats" aren't great because of the race and gender of the creators. The Greats are great because of the ideas they spread and the impact of those ideas. But it's nice to see the racism hidden underneath that dusting of sophistry. A transparent mask trying to hide an ardent racist that only sees validity of ideas from the race and gender of the people espousing them.
It's especially cathartic because the girl-boss protagonist is almost always a stand-I'm for the creator themselves and/or the audience they're trying to attract.
If I would've been the teacher, I would've told VIRGINIA to either focus on the subject learned in class or to get lost.
Ginny's character has a grotesque personality.
It takes a lot of skill to keep someone entertained when review something as bad as G&G, great job JLB.
2:30 O.K. so I work at a bar, and a guy comes in and opens a tab. The way our system works, we swipe the customer's card and it auto populates their name based off the card info. That day, there were only three tabs open so it was easy for me to remember who is who. I come back to him a couple minutes later and he wants something else, so I ask, "Yeah your tab is James, right?" and this guy whom I have never seen before in my life, gives me this death glare and replies like I'm stupid and he is telling me something I should already know, "My name is Sean." So I get confused because there isn't a tab labeled Sean and I was all but certain his name was James. Long story short, it turned out that for whatever reason he goes by his middle name and apparently hates when people refer to him by his first name. Which is fine, but he just expects everyone to know that? He knows what the name on his card is, but then gets angry when I call him the only name I know him by? So yeah. these people do exist and I hate them.
I appreciate you putting your brain through this torture for our entertainment.
Holy shit that ladies eyebrows
They rival Thranduil's
God what pisses me off more is how I've seen other TH-camrs reacting to this and they're all "omg this show captures the life of a mix race person well hur hur hur"
"People dont understand how us black folx have issues with hair"
Like get over yourselves! God who gives a dam about superficial problems like your hair. I'm Mexican and a dude but when I let my hair grow out, it gets super curly and annoying so I get it cut ASAP. I don't need a Netflix show to justify my annoyance. This show is cringe written by morons who dont live outside of Twitter. I mean my toothpaste is more based than this show lol
I wouldn't be surprised if the English teacher called her out on her nonsense, Ginny would start to rap. Or at the very least do a spoken word lol
Also I love your edits AND reaction. 10/10 as per usual
JL you need to watch the new Sex and the City episodes. The cringe is out of this fucking world.
Oh no.
OPPRESSION OLYMPICS LET'S GO
