@@gloriathomas3245It's been a while since I've watched. But from what I remember, Alien Nation the movie was far less political than Alien Nation the series. It was basically a buddy cop comedy drama with aliens. But on the political side, I would note that the alien "aliens" in this case, had no choice in whether they were on the planet or not. They crashed. And Earth clearly doesn't have the technology to boot them out. Totally different situation than modern criminal aliens, still human, flooding our borders. And, as a positive to the States in that movie, the U.S. allowed the integration of non-human intelligent species into society.
We'll, we do like our political intrigue in media where the politics belongs. Like Game of Thrones, Babylon 5. It's shoehorning politics, especially "the message" where it doesn't belong that's the problem.
There were no cows because Meg Greene already dispatched, quartered, and started serving them for the breakfast crew years earlier. Poor things have yet to recover.
OP was definitely joking, but yes, life on a farm is way different than people think. For instance, people got butt-hurt by learning that governor chick killed a dog, these things happen. If a dog learns to like to eat your chickens, it's got to go, and that's normal in the country. Cartoon squirrels chasing nuts are funny and cute, but if they start eating your garden, you murk them without a second thought.
"Allowing" people to like them? No disrespect man,but nobody "allows" a person to like or NOT like something,people like what they like,regardless of what anyone else thinks or wants. 🤷♂️
Their approach with actors and actresses also. They’re choosing the actors they want and then insisting people like them. And the actors & actresses people enjoy watching, they’re not hiring.

Twisters And Godzilla: Lesson of the day guys.....fun and entertainment makes money, not politics. Disney: (sits in the back pouting and refusing to take notes)
Of course the Lamestream Media is confused that a movie that isn’t political is doing well. I love the🧂when a movie like this does well and it makes the losers mad.
As with "Inside Out 2" & "Despicable Me 4" the moviegoers are showing that they're willing to go the theaters if there's something worth watching. Again, will Hollywood get the message? They better get with it before they end up in bankruptcy court!
The ethnicity demographics listed for the people that saw Twisters is very close to what those percentages are nationally in the US. So it’s clearly a film that appeals to everyone.
Even disaster movies from the 2000s had some climate message, but it was mostly executed as an excuse to have some big disaster ruining a city for characters to run in thrilling situations rather than lecturing you. It was a plot device, and that is what it should always be, not the entire focus of a story which doesn't need it.
I know a guy that's pretty serious about the whole global warming things and even he told me that he's tired of feeling lecture about it as if literally no one is doing anything. I think the elites are wearing out even their believers😂
@@platinumpineapple9943 it doesn't matter. politicians are the ones handing out the billions, but no one taking the money has done ANYTHING with it. Which was the disillusioned adherent's point. Your kind just talks, and makes unreasonable demands. F-ing DO SOMETHING!!! Weird how saint Greta has switched from climate to socialism. The irony. Here's what YOU will need - a battery that can hold the inconsistent power from solar and wind. - the power grid of all nations on Earth will have to be rebuilt. - You will still need a third back-up power source on grey, windless, days None of that is even being worked on by the loudest CC people.

After year after year after year of everything and anything being linked to climate change in one way or another, it's great that people are finally dropping it.
Except for the Yatzis. Look up Leni Riefenstahl who is one of the biggest propaganda film makers of all time. Unfortunately people do used film for propaganda, but doesn't make it right.
A movie made just to entertain is making money, what a concept. Take a hint Hollywood if it is not already too late. You can make movies that preach a narative and make money, but in most cases it dates the movie and ruins it's rewatchablity and in most cases it turns off half the audience to start. You want to make a movie that casts the largest net to catch the largest amount of movie go'ers Make a fun movie that just entertains today, it will entertain 1 year, 5 years, 20 years from now. Edit for typos, think I got them all * crosses fingers *
It's really sad how little we Okies are thought of. People that have never been here totally have a misconception. We pride ourselves on what we call the Oklahoma standard, helping our neighbors whether they be in state or around the world
A movie actually worth watching with no hidden/forced agenda being shoved down your throat? I honestly can't remember the last time I heard of such a thing. 🧐
Saw an article about how the movie wouldn't talk about climate change - then the rest of the article was about why it should have! What will it take for the Hollywood elite to figure out that we go to the movies to enjoy ourselves and relax, not be lectured at for two hours?!?!?
I haven’t seen Twisters yet but the original Twister is still a favorite movie of mine. Yes I was born and raised in Oklahoma. I no longer live there but whenever I feel homesick I watch Twister. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to see Twisters but I’m excited to see it.
The TV Tropes site for Twisters has a section that mentions the 2013 El Reno tornado moving south of the town and how the movie shows what would happen if the tornado had actually hit El Reno.
It really doesn’t take a genius to know that people just want a fun movie that has no politics, no agenda being shoved down our throats, and is just a good fun time. Now why people can’t comprehend a simple concept is beyond me.
Love that the film made over 80 million in the first weekend! I saw it twice opening weekend and am going again the Saturday. The budget for this film was $200 million which all went to shooting on location in Oklahoma and the special effects.. I think they did an incredible job! Such a great summer movie with an awesome soundtrack!
I saw the movie yesterday afternoon and absolutely loved it! The theater was packed too! After coming home from the theater I looked online and started noticing the comments were really split. Some regarded it as "atrocious" and ripped it to shreds unnecessarily, while others said it was arguably better than the original. I'm assuming the ones who hated are those on the far left or something?
In 4 weeks, Twisters might reach 120million. Each week after release can be assumed to be half of the previous week. People might even watch Twisters after Deadpool.
Activists dont see their job as a job or responsibility to their boss and/or customers. They view it as a platform for their causes. Thus, the more stuff gets politically captured by activists, quality goes down, activism goes up.
my mom STILL watches Twister all of the time, even just watched it yesterday. I swear, she used to watch it x4 or x5 times a year. So I wasn't caught off guard by how popular this movie is given by my own families sorta watching style lol. Then again, I have a lot of family near moore oklahoma and some of which probably actually saw it at that theater which I had to tell them when I saw this video and they found it funny.
It really is about fun people go to the movies to forget all the craziness that’s going on in the world and in their lives for just a little while the last thing they want is more of that crap in their movie
I don't care. If it's any movie with a whiff of Kathleen Kennedy's fingerprints, I'm not watching. That woman does not deserve any good will of any kind in any movies moving forward.
They can't stand anything that isn't political because they don't WANT you to escape, they don't WANT you to relax. It is in their interest to keep you all ramped up and on edge, it makes you easier to control and be used. Man, I wish there were more directors that told Leftist to shove it when it comes to agenda. And as for diversity, this movie does it right, it just should be. Nobody cares what color you are, nobody cares who or what you are or are not sleeping with, people are just people and should be shown as such. I applaud Twisters and hope we get more like it and fewer, much fewer, like the Wokeshyte.
3 canes 12 tornadoes still here lost a few houses along the way but no one was killed in the family. When a person reacts with fear they DO NOT think clearly and make mistakes. Fear and anger are mind killers.
And its crazy because theres a strong female lead, whos the main character. And yet we all still find it to be a great movie (maybe because we arent sexist we just dont like characters that don't make sense)
Went to see this movie with my parents at a small town movie theater in Middle America, three tickets, three drinks, two hot dogs, and a bucket of popcorn was $40, and the theater had a gunsmith advertisement before the movie. Was a good night, first time I've been to the theaters since endgame
To be fair, I'm also kinda surprised its doing well. After all, its not like the original is in anyway lacking in terms of quality or effects, like you might say about movies from the 80's or earlier. But that's Hollywood for you. They just cant think of anything new or original anymore. They are doing the same shit over and over again, just much worse as the previous one and sprinkle it with a lil bit of "modern audience tweaking" that cringes out half the audience... Sad.
Unless the weather is specifically affected by global warming like in "Day After Tomorrow" it doesn't need to come up plus these days subtle messaging in entertainment is practically a lost art and trying to paint this as appealing to red states (because that's where tornadoes usually show up) would be like claiming "San Andreas" as leaning left because it takes place on the west coast (where earthquakes mostly happen).
Existential threats do a great job during hard times in reality, because people want an Escape or to unite against a giant alien bug! This is one reason Godzilla Minus One did so well, add in, good writing, story for just the sake of story and it's not too surprising. Plus, twisters scare alot of people, honestly if Hollywood dished out a lot of good, monster/existential threat new stories like ex: Attack of The Magma Wave! People would probably go and also middle America needs entertainment too.
I just woke up... Opened TH-cam and saw the Title... "Apolitical 'Twisters' Makes BANK at the Box Office. Media is CONFUSED." - I have thoughts ... In fact they are the same thoughts I have always had and I am very sure that 99% of people will scream "FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!" We go to movies and play games to be ENETERTAINED... We all know that Politics is in everything... A Creator will always "Lean" towards their personal beliefs in any media they create... And for DECADES, Most of us were fine with that! The problem was when People started DEMANDING ... Most Folks in my view dont care f a character in a Game or Movie is Gay, Trans, whatever... We dont! We dont care... As long as the Character has a purpose in teh overall story, How they identify or choose to sleep with does not mean a thing! Evidence? GAME OF THRONES... I remember the first episode I ever saw of that show and Two Gay Men were very obviously on screen as the sound designers made sure you could hear what was happening... MASSIVE SUCCESS! Because most of the show was actually BLOODY GOOD! The fact they were "In a Relationship" served a Narrative purpose ... And most folks were fine with that! LIFE IS STRANGE - Massive Bloody Hit... Not because it was "Groundbreaking" for featuring a LGBTQ+ Female Protagonist but because again, It was a GOOD GAME, And the characters served a Narrative Purpose! People are simply sick to death of being Lectured and Activist Types shoving Certain Demographics in our face for no other reason than "Representation" - I am damn sure that been the most Right Wing Viewer you have has at least ONE LGBTQ+ Friend, because that's life... In reality - We dont care if someone is a PoC, or Otherwise Oriented in most cases... Everyone is EQUAL and deserves respect, so we do that! The fact that "Representation" is constantly being Pushed to many looks like a bid to be seen a "Superior" - When in truth, Most of us just get along! Media is NOT reflecting Reality and people are sick of it... We just want GOOD STORIES, ENTERTAINING GAMES... You ca have a PoC Character, A LGBTQ+ Character, and we will all be fine with it - As long as they are not a Token, As long as it makes narrative sense... We are sick of characters being on screen ion movies saying shit like "It's Cause I am Black, Innit?" - There is a REASON THAT SAYING BECAME A BLOODY JOKE!!! We dont want Characters on screen just to say "Ummmm, Hello... Respect my Pronouns! I'm a They / Them... Thank You ... Oh Jesus! Nancy just had her throat slit by a Psycho Killer!!!!" Hey Hollywood... THE AUDIENCE ACTUALLY CAN THINK! WE KNOW WHEN YOU ARE PANDERING AND WHEN CHARCATERS ARE SIMPLY "HEADLINE TOKENS" TO PLEASE ACTIVISTS! - So Stop doing this! We are NOT Racists, We are Not Transphobes, or any other slur people want to throw out... We just want GOOD NARRATIVE STORIES! We literally do not care if the Main Character of a Tomb Raider Reboot (Bad Example... Of course people care about Lara Croft but lets have fun here!) is actually about Lara Croft who was Born Tyrone Dunkly in the Bronx as long as IT FITS THE NARRATIVE AND THE STORY IS GOOD! And my apologies if your name is Tyrone... I just made some shit up at random! Can it be said any simpler? Tell you what... Why dont we point at movies PRE-REPRESENTATIONGATE that were Massive hits Despite being what we now call "Woke" - And prove a point? TO WONG FU, WITH LOVE JULIE NEWMAR PRISCILLA - QUEEN OF THE DESERT TOOTSIE Yeah, The representation has always been there... Activists CHOOSE to ignore it as it ruins their "Victimhood" - But we in the audience, We know! We know teh representation had always been there.. Can it be better? Yes... Everything can always be better... And Hollywood has many dark secrets... It has not always been LGBTQ+ Friendly, We all know that! - But Pandering to Activists or "Over Correction" to hide your sins does not make Good Movies! Time for Hollywood and the Media to actually WAKE UP! EDIT: Yeah... Not Touching the subject of Climate Change was a GREAT IDEA... It does not matter to most of us if the Climate Change Threat is Real or a Hoax... Because one thing we do know and all accept is that Nature can be a B**ch! We do know that Climate Change is a Natural Occurrence ... It WILL HAPPEN! It is Inevitable - At some point in a few thousand years or a few Million, The Climate will change so drastically that all Human Life will be extinct! That is proven scientific fact! The only debate in Climate Change Politics is of WE are making it worse??? And while science says Yes... So far all the prediction Models have not been accurate... According to most Scientists, We should already be dead! The Public dont care for "Hypotheticals" - When we see a Movie about Twisters, We want to see the real world effects on US! Because what happens in the Future is not affecting us directly... But a Twister can hit today and kill HUNDREDS of people!!! THAT is what people focus on... What is NOW, What can affect us in this moment... Not Several Hundred Years in the future if we "Dont make Changes" - It may sound callous but its true! Most of us are more concerned with "Can I pay by Bills this month?" - Not with "Should I buy an Electric Car so that in 1000 Years my descendants will still be alive?"
I can’t believe you spoiled it for me I thought it was going to be a story about gays, lesbians and transgender. Like a mystery murder centering around a game of Twister.
I wasn't going to bother with it despite the original being one of my favourite movies because the trailer I've seen for it starts with a line about climate change, claiming (falsely) that severe weather events are increasing all over the world!
irony of media ... doesn't get diversity of movies. the mkt is big enough for all sorts. INCLUDING movies that doesn't contain mesg, as long as the storytelling's competant to be successful.
It's amazing how Hollywood has forgotten about popcorn flicks. No message, not trying to be art. Just a hour of action.
I think it's more the action genre to start with. And this is a far fetched over the top portrayal of twisters. The original one 20 or so years ago was given the same treatment. A lot of scientific inaccuracies, that people outside of the media also latch onto. Haven't seen it, probably won't. but that isn't a political or any other statement. I don't watch as much as I used too. Saw the original and really did like it. So I doubt people are panning it because it wasn't political, probably more of mindless entertainment.

It really is about fun people go to the movies to forget all the craziness that’s going on in the world and in their lives for just a little while the last thing they want is more of that crap in their movie
I don't care. If it's any movie with a whiff of Kathleen Kennedy's fingerprints, I'm not watching. That woman does not deserve any good will of any kind in any movies moving forward.
I can't wait to watch this in 4DX- I hope I get thrown all over the place!
It’s selling out at drive-in’s all over, which Inside Out 2 also did. It’s a good “see it theatrically” kind of movie.
They can't stand anything that isn't political because they don't WANT you to escape, they don't WANT you to relax. It is in their interest to keep you all ramped up and on edge, it makes you easier to control and be used. Man, I wish there were more directors that told Leftist to shove it when it comes to agenda. And as for diversity, this movie does it right, it just should be. Nobody cares what color you are, nobody cares who or what you are or are not sleeping with, people are just people and should be shown as such. I applaud Twisters and hope we get more like it and fewer, much fewer, like the Wokeshyte.
There supposedly IS one cow at the end. It’s off in the background. I missed it though
How can it be called a success without the 30 day viewing numbers?!?
Diverse cast is done right in this. It's the US so that mix of cast fit the setting
Ghostbusters 2016 took place in the US. Diversity is dumb only good acting matters.
No flying cow? Not watching it. The nerve to omit a flying cow, smdh.
I saw Twisters with my friends. Best truck commercial we've ever seen.
Okay, I'm trying to think of what kind of inevitable arguments 'they' can make against this movie...
Great, cant wait for Volcanos
Dantes peaks?
3 canes 12 tornadoes still here lost a few houses along the way but no one was killed in the family. When a person reacts with fear they DO NOT think clearly and make mistakes. Fear and anger are mind killers.
They are not going to approach the climate change topic because it has very little to do with storms and weather.
MASSIVE traffic jam at the drive-in to see this movie last night. It was crazy.
And its crazy because theres a strong female lead, whos the main character. And yet we all still find it to be a great movie (maybe because we arent sexist we just dont like characters that don't make sense)
@@paradiseracer2437 we like well written characters
Small suggestion. Make a video about how woke people in HR and management positions will never let the market recover
Frankly I didn't see the appeal of the film being a sequel to Twister, which was meh to me. But good to hear it's doing good, sans political agenda.
That’s great for Universal that Twisters is overperforming at the Box Office like Oppenheimer & Nope did! This is so great for Glen Powell future!
Hollywood hasnt find a way to makea twister gay (yet).
... Who'd a thought making things entertaining would be profitable?!
Went to see this movie with my parents at a small town movie theater in Middle America, three tickets, three drinks, two hot dogs, and a bucket of popcorn was $40, and the theater had a gunsmith advertisement before the movie.
Was a good night, first time I've been to the theaters since endgame
Media says and thinks what it's told, or it gets the hose again.
Sounds like Twisters is making bank
To be fair, I'm also kinda surprised its doing well. After all, its not like the original is in anyway lacking in terms of quality or effects,
like you might say about movies from the 80's or earlier. But that's Hollywood for you. They just cant think of anything new or original anymore.
They are doing the same shit over and over again, just much worse as the previous one and sprinkle it with a lil bit of "modern audience tweaking"
that cringes out half the audience... Sad.
First movie I've actually wanted to see for a long while. I hope it's good.
Unless the weather is specifically affected by global warming like in "Day After Tomorrow" it doesn't need to come up plus these days subtle messaging in entertainment is practically a lost art and trying to paint this as appealing to red states (because that's where tornadoes usually show up) would be like claiming "San Andreas" as leaning left because it takes place on the west coast (where earthquakes mostly happen).
Is this one as much of a Dodge / Ram advert as the first one?
I saw this movie over the weekend. I thought it was very Entertaining. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
People want to be entertained not be lectured...
I still don't understand why they are only able to make reboots, remakes, sequels or prequels...?
I would recommend everyone watch the original Twister from the 90s instead of this bland remake.
7:45 you mean they were Humans Being!🤘
Existential threats do a great job during hard times in reality, because people want an Escape or to unite against a giant alien bug! This is one reason Godzilla Minus One did so well, add in, good writing, story for just the sake of story and it's not too surprising. Plus, twisters scare alot of people, honestly if Hollywood dished out a lot of good, monster/existential threat new stories like ex: Attack of The Magma Wave! People would probably go and also middle America needs entertainment too.
A diverse cast portrayed as...just people haha. Who new the secret to cracking DEI?
Huh... just a movie with no political or SJW narrative included, and its doing well.
How curious...
They’re prolly still trying to figure out if the tornado was going to be trans or just gay 😂
I just woke up... Opened TH-cam and saw the Title... "Apolitical 'Twisters' Makes BANK at the Box Office. Media is CONFUSED." - I have thoughts ... In fact they are the same thoughts I have always had and I am very sure that 99% of people will scream "FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!"
We go to movies and play games to be ENETERTAINED... We all know that Politics is in everything... A Creator will always "Lean" towards their personal beliefs in any media they create... And for DECADES, Most of us were fine with that!
The problem was when People started DEMANDING ...
Most Folks in my view dont care f a character in a Game or Movie is Gay, Trans, whatever... We dont! We dont care... As long as the Character has a purpose in teh overall story, How they identify or choose to sleep with does not mean a thing! Evidence? GAME OF THRONES... I remember the first episode I ever saw of that show and Two Gay Men were very obviously on screen as the sound designers made sure you could hear what was happening... MASSIVE SUCCESS! Because most of the show was actually BLOODY GOOD! The fact they were "In a Relationship" served a Narrative purpose ... And most folks were fine with that!
LIFE IS STRANGE - Massive Bloody Hit... Not because it was "Groundbreaking" for featuring a LGBTQ+ Female Protagonist but because again, It was a GOOD GAME, And the characters served a Narrative Purpose!
People are simply sick to death of being Lectured and Activist Types shoving Certain Demographics in our face for no other reason than "Representation" - I am damn sure that been the most Right Wing Viewer you have has at least ONE LGBTQ+ Friend, because that's life... In reality - We dont care if someone is a PoC, or Otherwise Oriented in most cases... Everyone is EQUAL and deserves respect, so we do that!
The fact that "Representation" is constantly being Pushed to many looks like a bid to be seen a "Superior" - When in truth, Most of us just get along! Media is NOT reflecting Reality and people are sick of it...
We just want GOOD STORIES, ENTERTAINING GAMES... You ca have a PoC Character, A LGBTQ+ Character, and we will all be fine with it - As long as they are not a Token, As long as it makes narrative sense... We are sick of characters being on screen ion movies saying shit like "It's Cause I am Black, Innit?" - There is a REASON THAT SAYING BECAME A BLOODY JOKE!!!
We dont want Characters on screen just to say "Ummmm, Hello... Respect my Pronouns! I'm a They / Them... Thank You ... Oh Jesus! Nancy just had her throat slit by a Psycho Killer!!!!"
Hey Hollywood... THE AUDIENCE ACTUALLY CAN THINK! WE KNOW WHEN YOU ARE PANDERING AND WHEN CHARCATERS ARE SIMPLY "HEADLINE TOKENS" TO PLEASE ACTIVISTS! - So Stop doing this!
We are NOT Racists, We are Not Transphobes, or any other slur people want to throw out... We just want GOOD NARRATIVE STORIES! We literally do not care if the Main Character of a Tomb Raider Reboot (Bad Example... Of course people care about Lara Croft but lets have fun here!) is actually about Lara Croft who was Born Tyrone Dunkly in the Bronx as long as IT FITS THE NARRATIVE AND THE STORY IS GOOD! And my apologies if your name is Tyrone... I just made some shit up at random!
Can it be said any simpler? Tell you what... Why dont we point at movies PRE-REPRESENTATIONGATE that were Massive hits Despite being what we now call "Woke" - And prove a point?
TO WONG FU, WITH LOVE JULIE NEWMAR
PRISCILLA - QUEEN OF THE DESERT
TOOTSIE
Yeah, The representation has always been there... Activists CHOOSE to ignore it as it ruins their "Victimhood" - But we in the audience, We know! We know teh representation had always been there.. Can it be better? Yes... Everything can always be better... And Hollywood has many dark secrets... It has not always been LGBTQ+ Friendly, We all know that! - But Pandering to Activists or "Over Correction" to hide your sins does not make Good Movies!
Time for Hollywood and the Media to actually WAKE UP!
EDIT: Yeah... Not Touching the subject of Climate Change was a GREAT IDEA... It does not matter to most of us if the Climate Change Threat is Real or a Hoax... Because one thing we do know and all accept is that Nature can be a B**ch! We do know that Climate Change is a Natural Occurrence ... It WILL HAPPEN! It is Inevitable - At some point in a few thousand years or a few Million, The Climate will change so drastically that all Human Life will be extinct! That is proven scientific fact!
The only debate in Climate Change Politics is of WE are making it worse??? And while science says Yes... So far all the prediction Models have not been accurate... According to most Scientists, We should already be dead! The Public dont care for "Hypotheticals" - When we see a Movie about Twisters, We want to see the real world effects on US! Because what happens in the Future is not affecting us directly... But a Twister can hit today and kill HUNDREDS of people!!!
THAT is what people focus on... What is NOW, What can affect us in this moment... Not Several Hundred Years in the future if we "Dont make Changes" - It may sound callous but its true! Most of us are more concerned with "Can I pay by Bills this month?" - Not with "Should I buy an Electric Car so that in 1000 Years my descendants will still be alive?"
You thought it was safe, no WOKE, no climate points, but then the diaper fetish sneaks in
We did need more cows
I can’t believe you spoiled it for me I thought it was going to be a story about gays, lesbians and transgender. Like a mystery murder centering around a game of Twister.
I'm tempted to make a "second wind" pun, buuut...
I wasn't going to bother with it despite the original being one of my favourite movies because the trailer I've seen for it starts with a line about climate change, claiming (falsely) that severe weather events are increasing all over the world!
Haven't seen Twisters yet, but is there a steak and eggs scene like the first movie? :)
What do you mean, it's entertaining, not preachy & making money?
Wait, this isn't a flopbuster then?
Blasphemie!!! 😂
I only watch based movies.
I mean, good movies.
irony of media ... doesn't get diversity of movies.
the mkt is big enough for all sorts. INCLUDING movies that doesn't contain mesg, as long as the storytelling's competant to be successful.
Just got back from theater. Its a breath of fresh air. F woke hollywood
Glen Powell has star power.
