I get what Adam's saying, in that he's *not* saying "If you enjoyed this movie, you're stupid / immature," but I think that's a common interpretation among people when they hear the phrase "this is for babies / kids." I don't think it's a matter of someone's worldview being shocked to their core, and that they're now having to contend with the idea of "Oh God, am I somehow still an infant?!" I think they just see it as an insult to their intelligence, maturity, or choice of hobbies. Heck, video games in particular had a lot of pushback to the idea that they're "just for children" over the past 20 years, in the same way comic books did in the 80s and 90s, as I understand it. So especially when talking about a movie based on a video game, you're probably going to see a lot of reaction to this sort of idea. I honestly think changing the phrasing of "this is for babies" to "the target audience for this is clearly toddlers / children" would do a lot to prevent a lot of people from perceiving basically the same statement as an insult. Granted, I know Adam isn't exactly interested in appealing to the lowest common denominator, so I don't think he should or would change the way he words stuff just to prevent some hurt feelings, lol
Isn't the entire point of language is to communicate your thoughts in a way so that another perspective could understand it? If you're not bothering to clear up your intensions to the people you're talking to, then what's the fucking point?
@@iranam1004 How long have you been on the internet? No matter what you say, there will always be people who *want* to take what you said incorrectly. You can only bend over backward so far to accommodate idiots that kneejerk react to things instead of consider them for a second before responding.
I laugh every time he says “this movie is for babies”- funniest s*** I ever heard. Even after enjoying Black Panther, hearing him say “for babies” was funny
I think when you say something is for babies, the understanding is that it is to be enjoyed by babies, implying if one enjoys it, then their intellectual prowess is comparable to that of a baby. Therefore, if you don't want to hide your enjoyment of a thing, and you don't want people thinking you're dumb, then you need to prove that enjoying thing does not make one dumb. That said... Mario really is for babies.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Mario movie. As a fan of Mario all my life it is very enjoyable, and I look forward to whatever comes in the future. That said, the movie is for babies
You said the thing I wanted to say, just also some may take it as a direct insult because words like idiot are broader, wider used, and may seem less harsh than something with the implication of having the mindset of a child specifically. To get upset even if that's your take away is still silly though.
It’s funny that Mario fans were upset about critics thinking the movie was awful when in reality on Rotten Tomatoes it has a 59% with a 5.7 average rating, meaning the majority of critics reactions were basically "eh, I didn’t hate it."
I mean going by school grading that's an F and even by RT's rating it's still bad. But I feel critics are missing the point. Mario isn't trying to be complex, Mario is just simple fun. He is vanilla and, like it or not, that's all Nintendo will let him be
@@happymoomoocow eh, I feel like it could be given a bit of leeway for being good at what it does but to each their own ig. I would love a movie based on the RPGs or Galaxy though
Its the same thing that happened with Sonic Fans last year. I loved Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and had my own criticisms… but people were so insecure when critics rated the movie a 70% on RT. Mario was an enjoyable movie… but not one where I had to pretend like “its the best animated film ever made”. Its just an appetizer for the main course that is Spider Verse 2
Adum has a way of not just saying funny things but also saying things funny. Like, the most inane statement leaving his mouth is somehow delivered in the funniest way. It’s like Bill Murray.
I think he meant it’s weird people would care to that extent. I think Adam has dumb opinions on things I like, but I don’t take it as a personal sleight against me. Unfortunately, a lot of people take stuff like that too seriously.
sorry but the mario review is absolutely insane. it starts by attacking everyone that liked it and generalizing they they demand everyone to like it. I liked it and I never demanded any such thing.
@@cibby6155 and he keeps personally attacking people towards the end by calling them stupid (in a thinly veiled generalized way). he constantly pretends to be open minded, but he sure is convinced people are "stupid" when they like certain things he doesn't.
I think the issue is that "for babies" kinda feels like people trying to invalidate someone's enjoyment of a thing in a general term as an insult. Vinny from Vinesauce does the same thing, and I think a problem with is tone, cause I've seen people get annoyed by him saying that consistently as well.
People are absolutely babies in the other direction too - when someone likes something they want to shit on endlessly. There was a huge fight in one of my discord servers between people who loved the Mario movie and people who weren't impressed. Both sides were embarrassing to watch 🤦♂️
@breadandcircuses8127 Not a chance, bud. Private server, we have a policy of only sending invites to people we already know/trust to obey the rules and keep things friendly. The mario movie debacle was a handful of young, long-time members (18,19 yo) who enjoyed it vs two newer (but older, 23, 25) members who initially disagreed, but then devolved into name-calling and swearing while all three admins were afk. Probably the second or third biggest shitshow we've ever had, and the first big conflict we've had since we agreed to make the server private.
@breadandcircuses8127 I have no fkin idea which female mario character you're referring to that's stigmatized? Afaik the only stigmatized Mario chracter would be like.. Walugi bc he's never had his own game?
@@apollofell3925 The Sonic movie did a way better job than the Mario film at least. I'm not gonna say they're high art because they're obviously not, but it's at least both Sonic films had more effort in both the voice acting and the writing compared to the Mario films poor execution
I went to a birthday party where they rented a theatre room for a showing of the Mario movie. I thought it was a good movie. Much better than what I expected from critics and word from tbe public. My three year old nephew tho. His eyes were glued to that screen. The theatee was packed with parents and their kids but it was one of the quietest viewing experiences because the movie worked its magic. Kid has never heard of Mario before and now he's a super Mario fan. Every time he visits he b lines the the switch to play Mario games. So the movie succeeded I think. Nintendo has always been for babies. It works.
Adum says this movie is for babies yet when I watched it, a baby was screaming their lungs out at the scary Bowser scenes non stop for like the last 20 minutes of the movie. Dont think THAT baby enjoyed this movie.
That baby sounds like a total baby. The theater I went to was mostly babies, and almost all of them enjoyed the movie aside from a few babies who wouldn't get off of their cellphones and kept munching popcorn, loudly. The nerve of some babies.
to be fair, not everyone is a gay furry. they haven't had the privilege of people calling a significant amount of stuff that they like weird or gross or dumb or whatever for their entire lives; hearing Adam call an Ilumination animated film "for babies" might be the first time they've ever heard an opinion that contradicts theirs.
That's very true, I often find it strange that people don't understand that Adam is not a manifestation of their own film opinions nor is he some kind of god, he's a real human being with a background which is different to theirs and I think people just can't handle it, because I guess the world revolves around them?
Given how argumentative social media is on its face, it definitely isn't the first time they'd have heard an opinion that contradicts theirs and have argued about it.
Yeah I’ve heard a lot of things about Disney movies and the Star Wars prequels, but I’ve seen these films on LSD, I know what the crystal heart of cinema looks like and I know they’re wrong. It does kinda thicken your skin, I’m secure in my judgment and taste now having fielded so many criticisms and come out with my love unscathed.
This is the review I'm anticipating the most, because I knew exactly how Adam was going to respond to it. It's going to upset a lot of die-hard Nintenod fans and it's going to be glorious
I enjoyed it but like is there anything in that movie that could be enjoyed by people who weren't obsessed with Nintendo games since they were 5 like me
Supersaturated colours, loud but irrelevant pop music, lack of a narrative through-line (events just happen until the film ends), slapstick... there are lots of things that mark something as targeting a younger audience. It's a formula that Illumination has been using for years. And when I say young I mean like 5-8 years old. You're allowed to like these things, you're also allowed to admit they're not really for you.
"This movie is for babies" is the same as "this movies is for kids", "this movies is for adults". That doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. All Disney movies are made for kids, plenty of adults like them. I think normies get sensitive about liking "uncool" things and want everything they enjoy to be seen favorably by everyone else.
This is so frustrating to watch in that he doesn't acknowledge that someone saying "this movie that you like is for a group of people I consider lesser" is an insult by association and not a critque of the movie.
Adum keeps saying "if SOMEONE made fun of this movie I like" without addressing that it's more about someone who you respect or is in a position of authority saying that a movie only has an audience of people who are babies. Also saying you're critiquing the MOVIE specifically but then your critique it just saying that the whole audience is one type of person is really more of critiquing the people, right? Idk, i get the sentiment, don't let others tell you how to feel blah blah blah but it doesn't seem like you're addressing it in good faith
I'm not a fan of the Mario movie, and do think it is a movie for babies, but Adam is being incredibly obtuse. The obvious implication when saying a movie is for babies in a negative context is that anyone enjoying the movie must have the intellectual capacity of a baby. If you want to argue that people are getting way too defensive over these sorts of comments and shouldn't be taking them so personally, that's fine, but don't try to pretend as though you're not trying to be insulting with said comments.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak i literally said in the first sentence that I think people who like the Mario movie are babies. The difference is that I'm not going to try to pretend like I'm not being insulting when I say that.
@@seto007 Hence why I said "I think it's an accurate description" as in I don't think of it as an insult, it's literally just an accurate summation of their behavior with how they've reacted to criticism about a fucking mario movie 🙄
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak "I'm not trying to insult you bro. I'm just saying that you're a loser who has never amounted to anything of value. That's not an insult, it's just an accurate and objective description." Lmao okay my dude.
But Adum. We must know. Is The Boss Baby and The Boss Baby Family Business movies for babies? Are Baby Geniuses and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 for babies? Where are the YMS reviews for those films?
I thought Mario was good. Could have been better but it wasn’t bad. That being said, I can see why people didn’t like it and I think a lot of fans are being oversensitive about the mixed critical reception. There was some guy who called a critic a troll because the critic mentioned that there were licensed songs in the film, but what’s hilarious is that this happened before the movie was even released to the general public. So the critic had seen the movie and KNEW that there were licensed songs in it, and the guy who was so attached to the film without even having seen it was basically screaming “Nuh uh! That didn’t happen because the clips that have been released so far show that the score is comprised of game tracks, so that must mean that it stays that way the entire movie!” Like, how biased to this movie do you have to be to defend it by claiming that you, someone who has not seen it yet, know more about it than someone who has?
I like the movie, people that I like, like the movie and the reviewers who I watch like the movie, that's good enough for me, shit that's way more than I can ask for.
@@Uhohlisa it isn't that's why I said it's more than what I can ask for, when you find people who like the same things you do, you can either discuss those things or you can at least enjoy the idea someone else enjoyed what you did, especially if you go with a group of people to see something that's always nice when the group enjoyed it together, it's not necessarily as long as you like something that's more then enough.
Adam, most of us really don’t care when you insult people, but you can’t be surprised when some people are annoyed that you are insulting them. And that is definitely what you are doing, whether by intent or accident.
@@ricardocortes5452 I'm sorry you walked into my knife, I didn't intentionally mean to stab you so don't get mad at me for it happening, I mean I was holding the knife in a way that it would stab someone if they walk into it and I was standing directly behind you and didn't say knife behind, but you shouldn't get mad at me and if you do your being childish. Do you see why what he said make zero sense.
I swear this is adum’s 10th video addressing this same topic. He’s coming off as being just as obsessed to be validated as he complains fans of the Mario movie to be
Adums argument for calling a movie ''for babies'' makes sense even if he sound like an asshole explaining it. I loved the Mario movie but it's obvious that the target demographic is kids and man babbies. A better example based on my experiences to explain his argument is pokemon. Me and a lot of people love pokemon but the franchise is obviously for kids and I would never sit and try to prove to someone that pokemon is not a ''baby'' game because I would sound like a raging man child. When I was in the military I played a lot of pokemon when I had breaks and some guys asked me ''why the fuck are you playing pokemon dude, it's for kids'' and my awnser was always ''idk I just like it''. A lot of people need to realise that it's ok too like things that are bad, mediocre or things that they are not a part of the target demographic and to stop harassing people over it. On very rare occasions though the fans are right to be angry, like when one critic said that the mario movie was one of the worst illumination movies and not up to the same standards as the rest of their great catalogue, that was so wrong on so many levels that it hurts.
Thanks for this video. A day after I watched the Mario Joint I said to my friends that the movie is exclusively for Immature Nintendo Fans and no one else, and they criticized me hard for that, saying things like “It’s a kids movie, why would you nitpick a movie like that”. And I thought it was weird because I recommended before “GdT Pinocchio” and “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” as good movies for everyone, so now they forgot about those 2?!
"I don't get offended by X so no one else should" is a completely irrelevant point that just leads to edgy kids thinking saying slurs is fine because they aren't offended by them.
@@verbatim7508 I like the Mario Movie and it’s a stupid baby movie for babies, who cares what Adum says about me lmao we’re literally never going to meet him in our entire lives, just unsubscribe or something if you’re that bothered by the word baby
@@verbatim7508 if you're not a baby then why are you so viscerally effected by someone calling you a baby? Unless... Y-you don't think...? No, it couldn't be! It's inconceivable... There just no way that... You... *ARE* baby?!
I don’t have a problem with you calling people babies and saying a certain film is for babies, because some people do act like babies. However my problem lies with you saying “if you get upset by being called a baby then that makes you a baby”. First off all, calling someone a baby is either a real insult or I just plain rude, because it says a lot about their intelligence and maturity, and everybody has different interpretation of the meaning behind you calling other a baby. Just read your comment section, not everybody uses it in the way that you use it so of course there are gonna be people who are upset by that not because they’re babies but because they have a different definition or viewpoint towards the word baby. When you call someone a baby your basically calling someone childish which doesn’t necessarily mean sensitive, sensitive is the word your looking for. Being childish and sensitive aren’t the same thing. So to say this doesn’t make much sense to begin with. If you called someone sensitive and they get offended by that then by that point they’ve proven your point. Side note: Also it’s still a criticism to the film so even if people don’t get offended they’ll probably just be defensive about the movie instead which is human behaviour that makes sense. So calling if your calling those people babies then that makes even less sense for you to say that Secondly you sound childish saying it yourself, if you say something like that seriously just to get arise out of someone then you sound ridiculous yourself. “This is a baby movie for stupid dumb babies” Like who the hell says that, not the most bizarre thing I’ve heard someone say but still strange to say out loud? You can get a bigger reaction much more effectively if you sound mature saying it yourself. That way your actually brining people down to your level. And because of this the review didn’t sit right with me. Aren’t you protecting yourself from criticism by saying this? If people don’t like what you say then they’re just being babies?
Adam… I know this is hard for you to understand, but when you say that phrase, or if someone else were to say, “this movie is for idiots” the implication is that the people who like or watch this movie are therefore idiot (or in the case of your statement, babies). I don’t know why this is complicated for you.
Honestly, there's only so much you can do to not offend people. And people will always still find something to be upset about. Being a content creator, there's two paths you can take. Either, acknowledge that some people will be upset no matter what you say, or maybe not be a content creator if you can't handle that. If you get cancelled for saying a movie is for babies, one, that will be hilarious, and two, continue like nothing happened, because that is a non-issue if I've ever seen one.
I will say... him saying he doesn't understand how people can be offended, 'so and so' is pretty much exactly why people are getting mad. Adam genuinely seems to lack a comprehensive understanding of why people react to things that just straight up sound like insults, which ironically plays into the idea he's on the spectrum he's tried testing for twice now.
Yeah. I understand his position, of course we *should* just not care about what others think, but we all do anyway. I feel for the people who are upset. He's basically calling people unrefined/immature/simple for liking a movie "that's for babies". But Adam doesn't realize that this "hyperbolic comment about the film" also implies judgment of those who would disagree
Yes, clearly, I completely agree. And not just that, it's also kind of hypocritical considering that I've seen him get _so_ fucking angry during some of his twitch streams at things that really weren't that huge a deal honestly. In fact, one of those times was during his Kimba editing streams. Someone just made some kind of remark about kimba versus The Lion King, I forget what, but the point is that they were a regular at his streams and they literally just did it to see him get pissed off. In other words he does that so often and it's so predictable that the viewer just did it knowing he would 100% overreact to it, when in actuality it really doesn't matter, even if it had been genuine. It's just some random dude on the internet being dumb, who gives a shit? But then we get this of him complaining about that exact kind of behavior for minutes on end. It's just kind of one of the more irritating things about Adam, he can be extremely hypocritable about a lot of things which is a personal pet peeve of mine. Like, him overreacting to that kimba shit doesn't bother me at all in fact I found it fucking hilarious, but what does get on my nerves is the hypocrisy of him later saying this kind of shit on his stream, and basically insulting anyone who acts that way, when he gets irrationally angry over sooooo much less 🫥
I feel like Adum does understand why calling something "for babies" would annoy people, but chooses to ignore it for the sake of higher critisism, which is fair in a way. Like, come on, I don't believe Adum would be so clueless as to not realise how what he's saying could be interpreted. Adum loves interpreting, thats like his thing!
@@Bone237I'm sorry I insulated you it wasn't intentional, I mean it still happened but your being a child if you continue to be annoyed by me "accidentally" insulting you.
I really wished I didn't stumble across this comment (you get to make fun of me with "erm actually" after this spiel). Breastmilk is really fattening so it isn't actually good for you when you are older.
what kind of bothers me about this is that without clarification, the statement “this movie is for babies” can function as a very effective way to communicate exactly what he’s not trying to communicate. if you present it in the simples form, without the clarification he shared in this clip, people will most likely extrapolate the simplest conclusion, which is that he is making a blanket statement about the enjoyers of the film. and if he’s so attached to expressing points of view without delegitimizing others, maybe he can be a bit more understanding/patient when people are under the impression that he’s doing exactly that. i get that he’s annoyed with comments like this but idk, i feel like his attitude could be a bit better. like he’s simultaneously saying that people dont try hard enough to understand his point of view (which he is responsible for communicating) while also admitted that he doesn’t understand how people could possibly get the wrong impression from a specific thing he said.
He acted very similarly when people got upset over a comment he’d made about Indiana Jones. Lots of exasperation over how nobody understands what he means and people read way too much into stuff, but also completely disregarding anyone trying to explain how what he said could’ve been construed as a bit insulting.
(*indignant voice*) Adum, how can you say that a movie based off of characters from a kid-friendly video game that's been famous decades is for babies??? Now get me a binky and a blanky so I can go mee-mees 👶🍼
Okay, I’m gonna come in here with a controversial opinion, so I’m probably gonna get yelled at. The thing is, I have to disagree with Adum here. I believe that it’s perfectly understandable and reasonable that somebody would get upset upon hearing you call a movie they liked “for babies”. Here’s why. When you say “this movie is for babies”, you imply that only babies enjoy it. Now, calling somebody a baby will be understood by most as calling them immature, childish, even senseless and stupid. You might be thinking “why would anyone care what I call them?” That is an interesting question, and to answer it, some understanding of the human character is necessary. Why do people feel upset when they’ve been insulted? Well, as social creatures, it’s only natural that us humans generally seek to be accepted by our fellow humans. We want to be well liked and respected. We want to have positive interactions with other people. We like to expand each others’ horizons, share our experiences and learn from each other. When we’re insulted, we feel that we’re being treated unfairly and cruelly. We often even feel the need to object and defend our point of view (although talking to sombody who insults you is usually a waste of time). It’s also a matter of individual traits and personality. Some care more about what others think, other care less. However, being sensitive is not necessarily a bad thing. Being sensitive means you’re passionate, you care about things, as well as other people. It makes you capable of empathy. It has its pros, as well as its cons. Just like everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. You might think not caring about others’ opinions makes you a “based and redpilled chad” or whatnot, but this trait too has its drawbacks. If you don’t care at all about what others think of you, then what’s stopping you from doing things that are deemed socially unacceptable? Being an asshole, committing crimes, being a menace to society… who cares what others think when you get what you want, right? Doesn’t really sound like the most desirable trait, does it? Besides, being emotionless like a machine would probably make you a pretty boring person to talk to, no? So, that’s why I’d advise avoiding generalizing, disrespectful language. You can’t get much of a meaningful conversation outta someone who doesn’t respect you.
I just seems like Adum is being stubborn about understanding why people would disagree or be offended by his comments. He doesn’t put any effort into understanding that the phrase "this film is for babies" is often interpreted differently than he intends. This should be obvious, because typically when that phrase is used, its meant to insult the present audience's intellegence, not commentate on what the producers intended their target audience to be for their film during production. Instead, he chooses to mis-characterize those people's intents by saying they're getting offended because they're insecure about the things they like and therefore are acting like reactionary babies against him for not liking what they like. No, that's missing the point. There are examples like that. But often, its just people who perceive Adum's statements as an insult to their maturity/intelligence for thinking a certain movie is good that he thinks is bad. Comments like that can absolutely have a toxic influence over film discussions online, same as the words from Mario movie fans that mock critics who didn't enjoy the film. Obviously, you can ignore antagonistic claims about people's maturity, like "video games are for children" from some random individual. But what about when it's from a voice of authority with a sizable audience whose words have an impact on the social sphere online and elsewhere? That becomes harder to ignore without saying something in response.
He's done this before, voicing his opinions in like the worst way possible (q.v. his whole zoophilia-controversy) and being annoyed when people "take it the wrong way", that is, they take it in the most understandable way possible. He is incapable of admitting linguistic wrongdoing and failure in rhetoric. It is infuriating trying to watch his rationale.
Is it that unbelievable that the phrase "This movie is for babies" could possibly be interpreted as "If you enjoy this movie, you're a baby" by some people?
It's easy to interpret it as "this movie is for babies, it's so unrefined, simple and immature" implying that those who enjoy it must be so themselves. I get Adam's point, even if he was directly insulting people they shouldn't care if they liked it and he didn't, but people don't like the allusion of being made fun off
you put it perfectly. but still, if you're offended by an off-hand joke like this about a movie, then you're clearly insecure about your own opinions on the movie. it may be anecdotal but i've had like 5 people come after me cause i have Trash Humpers as a 5/5, and nothing they say ever changes my opinion because i have a strong understanding of what made me love the film. art is incredibly subjective and personal and for that very reason, you should not give a flying fuck if a youtuber or your friend or your enemy liked the thing you liked or not. you can't experience other peoples' experiences, so if you enjoyed the film, that is genuinely all that matters
It's the same argument for his Hi-Fi Rush take. "It's for babies" It's honestly enough for me to completely disregard any of his takes that have this line in it because he's obviously just grasping at air.
I understand that Adam doesn't intend to be rude to fans of said films, but also it shouldn't be surprising that the phrase "X is for babies" could be interpreted quite uncharitably by people who enjoy X. You may not interpret it that way but other people might.
It shows a like of empathy twards other people's feelings, something you're supposed to learn as a child is that other people think differently than you. seems like adum himself is projecting, But that's just my assertion.
I thought the movie was just OK, but I do like seeing the stans for the Mario movie have insecure meltdowns about people not 100% agreeing with other peoples’ opinion…over a fucking movie
Ironically, this is probably the most juvenile Adam's ever been. Saying someone shouldn't be offended by something and following it up with "if something I liked was called this, I wouldn't care" is third-grade tier rhetoric.
I think it speaks to a long-running insecurity among people who take movies seriously, that your tastes in film determine whether you're really someone who truly appreciates cinema. The Mario movie is absolutely for babies. I still had fun watching it. That doesn't mean the movie police are going to break into my home and confiscate my Ingmar Bergman dvds.
im gunna have to disagree on this one, saying something "is for babies" carries a negative connotation, of course ppl will get defensive. It's implying that if they like it, they are on par or as smart as a baby. Even if you try to rationalize it and say that the implication should be something different and people shouldn't be offended, that doesn't change the fact that people WILL get offended, you need to account for people's emotions.
Adam is truly autistic in not emotionally understanding that calling something for babies insults people who like those things and equates them to babies. He insults people’s intelligence and thinks it’s ok because he’s okay with it therefore everyone should be like him and be okay with it. Other than that I love his content lol.
You’re missing the entire point. If Adum didn’t understand that “it’s for babies” is insulting to people, he wouldn’t be making this video. And he is criticizing that but he’s not saying that it’s wrong that they don’t feel the way he does, he just finds it dumb that “it’s for babies” is enough to upset someone
My guy you are LIVID about someone saying a film with a target demographic in the single digits might not offer much to an adult audience. Clearly this proves some kind of severe mental disability!
I just watched the Blues Clues movie, quite literally a movie for babies, but I liked it a heckuva lot more than plenty of other movies I've seen lately.
the bizarre thing about all these different like half-not controversies with Adam is how all of them seem to ignore the fact that people can just...enjoy the film independent of his opinion. I thought the mario movie was great, and I'd happily see it again, and his review wouldn't change anything. I'd be interested to hear what he thought about it, that's why I'd click on the video. Why do people think his insulting the movie is insulting them in particular? just feels like you're insecure about your thoughts on the film at that point.
"Why do people think his insulting the movie is insulting them in particular?" Because the simplest and most direct interpretation of the phrase 'x is for babies' is 'If you enjoy x, you must (mentally) be a baby'. It's a blanket insult directed to everyone that likes x. If I call you a retard, but you aren't one, is it somehow no longer an insult?
@@El-Melloi He didn't call anyone a baby, though so your analogy doesn't work. If Adam said "anyone who likes this movie is a baby" then I'd agree with you but Adam said "this is a movie for babies" which is different.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreakThat still implies that he looks down on those who enjoy the movie. Saying “this movie is for morons” implies that only morons may enjoy this movie, thus if you enjoy the movie you are a moron.
I think Adam is missing some ability to interpret other people's emotions. It is so weird that Adam just doesn't seem to get that "for babies" at the very least implies that he thinks of other people as being stupid or underdeveloped. He says it's not an insult but soon after doubles down on it being pretty much that. After watching the video I still am not quite sure what he means when he says the movie is "for babies". According to him it's not literal and if someone likes the movie Adam still doesn't see them as a baby, mentally or otherwise. So what the hell is the point of the statement, Adam? What does it mean to say that a movie is for babies? The video is just 10 minutes of Adam ranting about how people are insecure when he's so defensive that he doesn't even bother to engage with his critics honestly. Why even make the video if he doesn't care what "babies" think? I still like Adam and his content but he's had these things before where he just can't grasp how another person might think about a certain issue.
Mario is a kid's franchise, dude. It's for babies. It's perfectly fine to like children's media as an adult and it doesn't make you less intelligent, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's anything else than what it is.
@@kongoubongo2970 I don't even like Mario. I've never seen the movie and I doubt I ever will. My point was about Adam since the video covers him. Something like Teletubbies is actually for babies and I don't think the Mario movie is aimed at such a young audience. It's more for toddlers from what I understand.
@@Azdroc96 JFC it's just a joke you are taking way too literally and reading too far into...I grew up playing Mario games & my older brother would call them baby games all the time. He didn't actually think people who played them were babies or stupid. It was just a joke because he preferred the more mature games. I am not insulted by the statement at all and I actually enjoyed the movie.
@@rony9351 You misunderstand. I don't care about the Mario movie. I'm trying to understand Adam's thinking and so far it doesn't make sense to me. Adam spent 10 minutes talking about it so obviously this issue(?) is not a joke to him. Adam said something along the lines of "I'm talking about the movie not the audience" but failed to realize that saying that movie is for a specific audience means bringing that movie's audience into the conversation. I think it might be that Adam sees himself talking about the movie exclusively and doesn't even see himself talking about people in any capacity. Therefore he is surprised when people take offense to his comments about the film's audience.
I’m sorry, him *_not understanding how an insult to an audience’s intelligence would be taken as an insult_* is literally one of the most autistic things he’s ever said. And covering his own ass by saying “you’re insecure if you’re insulted by me directly insulting you” makes it even worse, that’s almost like… sociopathy levels of just not understanding basic shit about a lot of people.

I get what Adam's saying, in that he's *not* saying "If you enjoyed this movie, you're stupid / immature," but I think that's a common interpretation among people when they hear the phrase "this is for babies / kids."
I don't think it's a matter of someone's worldview being shocked to their core, and that they're now having to contend with the idea of "Oh God, am I somehow still an infant?!" I think they just see it as an insult to their intelligence, maturity, or choice of hobbies. Heck, video games in particular had a lot of pushback to the idea that they're "just for children" over the past 20 years, in the same way comic books did in the 80s and 90s, as I understand it. So especially when talking about a movie based on a video game, you're probably going to see a lot of reaction to this sort of idea.
I honestly think changing the phrasing of "this is for babies" to "the target audience for this is clearly toddlers / children" would do a lot to prevent a lot of people from perceiving basically the same statement as an insult. Granted, I know Adam isn't exactly interested in appealing to the lowest common denominator, so I don't think he should or would change the way he words stuff just to prevent some hurt feelings, lol
Isn't the entire point of language is to communicate your thoughts in a way so that another perspective could understand it? If you're not bothering to clear up your intensions to the people you're talking to, then what's the fucking point?

I laugh every time he says “this movie is for babies”- funniest s*** I ever heard.
Even after enjoying Black Panther, hearing him say “for babies” was funny
Too much words, but I agree.
I think when you say something is for babies, the understanding is that it is to be enjoyed by babies, implying if one enjoys it, then their intellectual prowess is comparable to that of a baby. Therefore, if you don't want to hide your enjoyment of a thing, and you don't want people thinking you're dumb, then you need to prove that enjoying thing does not make one dumb. That said... Mario really is for babies.
Based. Mario is the biggest baby movie ever. People should be embarrassed of having enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mario movie. As a fan of Mario all my life it is very enjoyable, and I look forward to whatever comes in the future. That said, the movie is for babies
You said the thing I wanted to say, just also some may take it as a direct insult because words like idiot are broader, wider used, and may seem less harsh than something with the implication of having the mindset of a child specifically. To get upset even if that's your take away is still silly though.

It’s funny that Mario fans were upset about critics thinking the movie was awful when in reality on Rotten Tomatoes it has a 59% with a 5.7 average rating, meaning the majority of critics reactions were basically "eh, I didn’t hate it."
I mean going by school grading that's an F and even by RT's rating it's still bad. But I feel critics are missing the point. Mario isn't trying to be complex, Mario is just simple fun. He is vanilla and, like it or not, that's all Nintendo will let him be

Can't wait for the comment section of YMS review of Mario movie. It's going to be detective pikachu movie review comment section all over again.
I went to a birthday party where they rented a theatre room for a showing of the Mario movie. I thought it was a good movie. Much better than what I expected from critics and word from tbe public.
My three year old nephew tho. His eyes were glued to that screen. The theatee was packed with parents and their kids but it was one of the quietest viewing experiences because the movie worked its magic. Kid has never heard of Mario before and now he's a super Mario fan. Every time he visits he b lines the the switch to play Mario games. So the movie succeeded I think. Nintendo has always been for babies. It works.
Adum says this movie is for babies yet when I watched it, a baby was screaming their lungs out at the scary Bowser scenes non stop for like the last 20 minutes of the movie. Dont think THAT baby enjoyed this movie.
That baby gave the movie a 6/10
That baby sounds like a total baby. The theater I went to was mostly babies, and almost all of them enjoyed the movie aside from a few babies who wouldn't get off of their cellphones and kept munching popcorn, loudly. The nerve of some babies.

to be fair, not everyone is a gay furry. they haven't had the privilege of people calling a significant amount of stuff that they like weird or gross or dumb or whatever for their entire lives; hearing Adam call an Ilumination animated film "for babies" might be the first time they've ever heard an opinion that contradicts theirs.
That's very true, I often find it strange that people don't understand that Adam is not a manifestation of their own film opinions nor is he some kind of god, he's a real human being with a background which is different to theirs and I think people just can't handle it, because I guess the world revolves around them?

Supersaturated colours, loud but irrelevant pop music, lack of a narrative through-line (events just happen until the film ends), slapstick... there are lots of things that mark something as targeting a younger audience. It's a formula that Illumination has been using for years. And when I say young I mean like 5-8 years old. You're allowed to like these things, you're also allowed to admit they're not really for you.
Shitting your pants is for babies. The Mario movie is for babies. Therefore the Mario movie = pants shitting.
"This movie is for babies" is the same as "this movies is for kids", "this movies is for adults". That doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. All Disney movies are made for kids, plenty of adults like them. I think normies get sensitive about liking "uncool" things and want everything they enjoy to be seen favorably by everyone else.

Also saying you're critiquing the MOVIE specifically but then your critique it just saying that the whole audience is one type of person is really more of critiquing the people, right?
Idk, i get the sentiment, don't let others tell you how to feel blah blah blah but it doesn't seem like you're addressing it in good faith
I get what he means but I feel he should at least acknowledge when his perspective might differ and that not everyone will intuitively understand.

The obvious implication when saying a movie is for babies in a negative context is that anyone enjoying the movie must have the intellectual capacity of a baby.

I thought Mario was good. Could have been better but it wasn’t bad. That being said, I can see why people didn’t like it and I think a lot of fans are being oversensitive about the mixed critical reception.
There was some guy who called a critic a troll because the critic mentioned that there were licensed songs in the film, but what’s hilarious is that this happened before the movie was even released to the general public. So the critic had seen the movie and KNEW that there were licensed songs in it, and the guy who was so attached to the film without even having seen it was basically screaming “Nuh uh! That didn’t happen because the clips that have been released so far show that the score is comprised of game tracks, so that must mean that it stays that way the entire movie!”
Like, how biased to this movie do you have to be to defend it by claiming that you, someone who has not seen it yet, know more about it than someone who has?

"Holy Mountain is for babies." - Adum YMS 2023
I swear this is adum’s 10th video addressing this same topic. He’s coming off as being just as obsessed to be validated as he complains fans of the Mario movie to be
Adum Horse be cookin. 5 star baby porridge for the fans.
The Lion King IS for babies though Adum.
Adums argument for calling a movie ''for babies'' makes sense even if he sound like an asshole explaining it. I loved the Mario movie but it's obvious that the target demographic is kids and man babbies. A better example based on my experiences to explain his argument is pokemon.
Me and a lot of people love pokemon but the franchise is obviously for kids and I would never sit and try to prove to someone that pokemon is not a ''baby'' game because I would sound like a raging man child. When I was in the military I played a lot of pokemon when I had breaks and some guys asked me ''why the fuck are you playing pokemon dude, it's for kids'' and my awnser was always ''idk I just like it''. A lot of people need to realise that it's ok too like things that are bad, mediocre or things that they are not a part of the target demographic and to stop harassing people over it.
On very rare occasions though the fans are right to be angry, like when one critic said that the mario movie was one of the worst illumination movies and not up to the same standards as the rest of their great catalogue, that was so wrong on so many levels that it hurts.
I believe the anger comes from the idea that you're not supposed to enjoy something if it's for children.

I’m sure there’s someone out there with a 2 hour video essay on how Mario movie is not for babies
I don’t have a problem with you calling people babies and saying a certain film is for babies, because some people do act like babies. However my problem lies with you saying “if you get upset by being called a baby then that makes you a baby”.
First off all, calling someone a baby is either a real insult or I just plain rude, because it says a lot about their intelligence and maturity, and everybody has different interpretation of the meaning behind you calling other a baby. Just read your comment section, not everybody uses it in the way that you use it so of course there are gonna be people who are upset by that not because they’re babies but because they have a different definition or viewpoint towards the word baby. When you call someone a baby your basically calling someone childish which doesn’t necessarily mean sensitive, sensitive is the word your looking for. Being childish and sensitive aren’t the same thing. So to say this doesn’t make much sense to begin with. If you called someone sensitive and they get offended by that then by that point they’ve proven your point.
Side note: Also it’s still a criticism to the film so even if people don’t get offended they’ll probably just be defensive about the movie instead which is human behaviour that makes sense. So calling if your calling those people babies then that makes even less sense for you to say that
Secondly you sound childish saying it yourself, if you say something like that seriously just to get arise out of someone then you sound ridiculous yourself. “This is a baby movie for stupid dumb babies” Like who the hell says that, not the most bizarre thing I’ve heard someone say but still strange to say out loud? You can get a bigger reaction much more effectively if you sound mature saying it yourself. That way your actually brining people down to your level. And because of this the review didn’t sit right with me.
Aren’t you protecting yourself from criticism by saying this? If people don’t like what you say then they’re just being babies?
Adam… I know this is hard for you to understand, but when you say that phrase, or if someone else were to say, “this movie is for idiots” the implication is that the people who like or watch this movie are therefore idiot (or in the case of your statement, babies). I don’t know why this is complicated for you.
Gonna show some babies The Holy Mountain, see what they think of it
Good to see my Adumcel message got in there
Honestly, there's only so much you can do to not offend people. And people will always still find something to be upset about. Being a content creator, there's two paths you can take. Either, acknowledge that some people will be upset no matter what you say, or maybe not be a content creator if you can't handle that. If you get cancelled for saying a movie is for babies, one, that will be hilarious, and two, continue like nothing happened, because that is a non-issue if I've ever seen one.
I will say... him saying he doesn't understand how people can be offended, 'so and so' is pretty much exactly why people are getting mad. Adam genuinely seems to lack a comprehensive understanding of why people react to things that just straight up sound like insults, which ironically plays into the idea he's on the spectrum he's tried testing for twice now.
Yeah. I understand his position, of course we *should* just not care about what others think, but we all do anyway. I feel for the people who are upset. He's basically calling people unrefined/immature/simple for liking a movie "that's for babies". But Adam doesn't realize that this "hyperbolic comment about the film" also implies judgment of those who would disagree
if you're a gigachad it's hard to relate to insecurity like that 😎
And if you get mad being called a baby. You are a fucking baby.
Yes, clearly, I completely agree. And not just that, it's also kind of hypocritical considering that I've seen him get _so_ fucking angry during some of his twitch streams at things that really weren't that huge a deal honestly. In fact, one of those times was during his Kimba editing streams. Someone just made some kind of remark about kimba versus The Lion King, I forget what, but the point is that they were a regular at his streams and they literally just did it to see him get pissed off. In other words he does that so often and it's so predictable that the viewer just did it knowing he would 100% overreact to it, when in actuality it really doesn't matter, even if it had been genuine. It's just some random dude on the internet being dumb, who gives a shit? But then we get this of him complaining about that exact kind of behavior for minutes on end. It's just kind of one of the more irritating things about Adam, he can be extremely hypocritable about a lot of things which is a personal pet peeve of mine. Like, him overreacting to that kimba shit doesn't bother me at all in fact I found it fucking hilarious, but what does get on my nerves is the hypocrisy of him later saying this kind of shit on his stream, and basically insulting anyone who acts that way, when he gets irrationally angry over sooooo much less 🫥
His tone of voice plays a big part in this too

I feel like Adum does understand why calling something "for babies" would annoy people, but chooses to ignore it for the sake of higher critisism, which is fair in a way.

I love the idea that someone’s entire day was ruined and they were sent into an existential crisis because a movie they like “is for babies.”
what kind of bothers me about this is that without clarification, the statement “this movie is for babies” can function as a very effective way to communicate exactly what he’s not trying to communicate. if you present it in the simples form, without the clarification he shared in this clip, people will most likely extrapolate the simplest conclusion, which is that he is making a blanket statement about the enjoyers of the film. and if he’s so attached to expressing points of view without delegitimizing others, maybe he can be a bit more understanding/patient when people are under the impression that he’s doing exactly that. i get that he’s annoyed with comments like this but idk, i feel like his attitude could be a bit better. like he’s simultaneously saying that people dont try hard enough to understand his point of view (which he is responsible for communicating) while also admitted that he doesn’t understand how people could possibly get the wrong impression from a specific thing he said.
He acted very similarly when people got upset over a comment he’d made about Indiana Jones. Lots of exasperation over how nobody understands what he means and people read way too much into stuff, but also completely disregarding anyone trying to explain how what he said could’ve been construed as a bit insulting.

I just think that Adam likes to say the word baby a lot
(*indignant voice*) Adum, how can you say that a movie based off of characters from a kid-friendly video game that's been famous decades is for babies??? Now get me a binky and a blanky so I can go mee-mees 👶🍼
As an autistic chad-turned-stacy nonfurry, I feel very welcome in the YMS channel
people said they cried during the movie unironically so now Im curious lmao
I still feel like you could say the same statement in an insulting way
YMS in general is just built different.
honestly its good that he makes the point about insecurity at the beginning of the clip its really the main thing
The people who get mad at this are the same people who will tell you to just "turn your brain off and enjoy it".
Okay, I’m gonna come in here with a controversial opinion, so I’m probably gonna get yelled at. The thing is, I have to disagree with Adum here. I believe that it’s perfectly understandable and reasonable that somebody would get upset upon hearing you call a movie they liked “for babies”. Here’s why.
When you say “this movie is for babies”, you imply that only babies enjoy it. Now, calling somebody a baby will be understood by most as calling them immature, childish, even senseless and stupid. You might be thinking “why would anyone care what I call them?” That is an interesting question, and to answer it, some understanding of the human character is necessary. Why do people feel upset when they’ve been insulted?
Well, as social creatures, it’s only natural that us humans generally seek to be accepted by our fellow humans. We want to be well liked and respected. We want to have positive interactions with other people. We like to expand each others’ horizons, share our experiences and learn from each other. When we’re insulted, we feel that we’re being treated unfairly and cruelly. We often even feel the need to object and defend our point of view (although talking to sombody who insults you is usually a waste of time).
It’s also a matter of individual traits and personality. Some care more about what others think, other care less. However, being sensitive is not necessarily a bad thing. Being sensitive means you’re passionate, you care about things, as well as other people. It makes you capable of empathy. It has its pros, as well as its cons. Just like everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. You might think not caring about others’ opinions makes you a “based and redpilled chad” or whatnot, but this trait too has its drawbacks. If you don’t care at all about what others think of you, then what’s stopping you from doing things that are deemed socially unacceptable? Being an asshole, committing crimes, being a menace to society… who cares what others think when you get what you want, right? Doesn’t really sound like the most desirable trait, does it? Besides, being emotionless like a machine would probably make you a pretty boring person to talk to, no?
So, that’s why I’d advise avoiding generalizing, disrespectful language. You can’t get much of a meaningful conversation outta someone who doesn’t respect you.
I once commented that I hate Minions and got told to kill myself.
I just seems like Adum is being stubborn about understanding why people would disagree or be offended by his comments. He doesn’t put any effort into understanding that the phrase "this film is for babies" is often interpreted differently than he intends. This should be obvious, because typically when that phrase is used, its meant to insult the present audience's intellegence, not commentate on what the producers intended their target audience to be for their film during production.
Instead, he chooses to mis-characterize those people's intents by saying they're getting offended because they're insecure about the things they like and therefore are acting like reactionary babies against him for not liking what they like.
No, that's missing the point. There are examples like that. But often, its just people who perceive Adum's statements as an insult to their maturity/intelligence for thinking a certain movie is good that he thinks is bad. Comments like that can absolutely have a toxic influence over film discussions online, same as the words from Mario movie fans that mock critics who didn't enjoy the film.
Obviously, you can ignore antagonistic claims about people's maturity, like "video games are for children" from some random individual. But what about when it's from a voice of authority with a sizable audience whose words have an impact on the social sphere online and elsewhere?
That becomes harder to ignore without saying something in response.
He's done this before, voicing his opinions in like the worst way possible (q.v. his whole zoophilia-controversy) and being annoyed when people "take it the wrong way", that is, they take it in the most understandable way possible. He is incapable of admitting linguistic wrongdoing and failure in rhetoric. It is infuriating trying to watch his rationale.
A baby is, by definition, not a self-cleaning system.
Is it that unbelievable that the phrase "This movie is for babies" could possibly be interpreted as "If you enjoy this movie, you're a baby" by some people?
It's easy to interpret it as "this movie is for babies, it's so unrefined, simple and immature" implying that those who enjoy it must be so themselves. I get Adam's point, even if he was directly insulting people they shouldn't care if they liked it and he didn't, but people don't like the allusion of being made fun off
I mean yeah If they’re babies
you put it perfectly. but still, if you're offended by an off-hand joke like this about a movie, then you're clearly insecure about your own opinions on the movie. it may be anecdotal but i've had like 5 people come after me cause i have Trash Humpers as a 5/5, and nothing they say ever changes my opinion because i have a strong understanding of what made me love the film. art is incredibly subjective and personal and for that very reason, you should not give a flying fuck if a youtuber or your friend or your enemy liked the thing you liked or not. you can't experience other peoples' experiences, so if you enjoyed the film, that is genuinely all that matters
It's the same argument for his Hi-Fi Rush take. "It's for babies"
It's honestly enough for me to completely disregard any of his takes that have this line in it because he's obviously just grasping at air.
@@Luparf another anime nerd with a baby take
It’s amazing there are grown ass adults that can’t -get off to- handle Adum calling them babies.
Headline: Movie Critic Attacks Babies
I understand that Adam doesn't intend to be rude to fans of said films, but also it shouldn't be surprising that the phrase "X is for babies" could be interpreted quite uncharitably by people who enjoy X. You may not interpret it that way but other people might.
It shows a like of empathy twards other people's feelings, something you're supposed to learn as a child is that other people think differently than you. seems like adum himself is projecting, But that's just my assertion.
When I clicked on the video a advert for like baby toy came up.
Cant wait for cartoon twitter to go "um actkually animation is a medium" and proceeds to throw a tantrum
Fr. Cartoons can both be a medium available for any demographic possible, but they can also be bad lol.
Internet: “The movie is for kids, stop taking it so seriously”
Adum: “ok, the movie is for kids”
Internet: “What the fuck did you just say to me??”
as a baby i find this highly offensive
I thought the movie was just OK, but I do like seeing the stans for the Mario movie have insecure meltdowns about people not 100% agreeing with other peoples’ opinion…over a fucking movie
Ironically, this is probably the most juvenile Adam's ever been. Saying someone shouldn't be offended by something and following it up with "if something I liked was called this, I wouldn't care" is third-grade tier rhetoric.
I think it speaks to a long-running insecurity among people who take movies seriously, that your tastes in film determine whether you're really someone who truly appreciates cinema. The Mario movie is absolutely for babies. I still had fun watching it. That doesn't mean the movie police are going to break into my home and confiscate my Ingmar Bergman dvds.
Or will we….?
Is Mario movie for babies? Yes. Do I hate it? No. Will I watch it again? Never.
im gunna have to disagree on this one, saying something "is for babies" carries a negative connotation, of course ppl will get defensive. It's implying that if they like it, they are on par or as smart as a baby. Even if you try to rationalize it and say that the implication should be something different and people shouldn't be offended, that doesn't change the fact that people WILL get offended, you need to account for people's emotions.
Certified baby moment
Adam is truly autistic in not emotionally understanding that calling something for babies insults people who like those things and equates them to babies. He insults people’s intelligence and thinks it’s ok because he’s okay with it therefore everyone should be like him and be okay with it. Other than that I love his content lol.
You’re missing the entire point. If Adum didn’t understand that “it’s for babies” is insulting to people, he wouldn’t be making this video. And he is criticizing that but he’s not saying that it’s wrong that they don’t feel the way he does, he just finds it dumb that “it’s for babies” is enough to upset someone
My guy you are LIVID about someone saying a film with a target demographic in the single digits might not offer much to an adult audience. Clearly this proves some kind of severe mental disability!
@@PlatinumAltaria I don't think you know what the word livid means.
@@lilkakarot3072 livid (adj.): especially angry or upset, often irrational.
@@PlatinumAltaria you pulled up the definition yet used entirely incorrectly. What about this person's original comment can be described as livid?
Nontroversy is a great portmanteau
I just watched the Blues Clues movie, quite literally a movie for babies, but I liked it a heckuva lot more than plenty of other movies I've seen lately.
the bizarre thing about all these different like half-not controversies with Adam is how all of them seem to ignore the fact that people can just...enjoy the film independent of his opinion. I thought the mario movie was great, and I'd happily see it again, and his review wouldn't change anything. I'd be interested to hear what he thought about it, that's why I'd click on the video. Why do people think his insulting the movie is insulting them in particular? just feels like you're insecure about your thoughts on the film at that point.
"Why do people think his insulting the movie is insulting them in particular?"
Because the simplest and most direct interpretation of the phrase 'x is for babies' is 'If you enjoy x, you must (mentally) be a baby'.
It's a blanket insult directed to everyone that likes x.
If I call you a retard, but you aren't one, is it somehow no longer an insult?
That’s really what it tends to boil down to in the end lol
@@El-Melloi He didn't call anyone a baby, though so your analogy doesn't work. If Adam said "anyone who likes this movie is a baby" then I'd agree with you but Adam said "this is a movie for babies" which is different.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreakThat still implies that he looks down on those who enjoy the movie. Saying “this movie is for morons” implies that only morons may enjoy this movie, thus if you enjoy the movie you are a moron.
Didn’t know the Lion King was one of Adams favorite movies
I think Adam is missing some ability to interpret other people's emotions. It is so weird that Adam just doesn't seem to get that "for babies" at the very least implies that he thinks of other people as being stupid or underdeveloped. He says it's not an insult but soon after doubles down on it being pretty much that.
After watching the video I still am not quite sure what he means when he says the movie is "for babies". According to him it's not literal and if someone likes the movie Adam still doesn't see them as a baby, mentally or otherwise. So what the hell is the point of the statement, Adam? What does it mean to say that a movie is for babies?
The video is just 10 minutes of Adam ranting about how people are insecure when he's so defensive that he doesn't even bother to engage with his critics honestly. Why even make the video if he doesn't care what "babies" think?
I still like Adam and his content but he's had these things before where he just can't grasp how another person might think about a certain issue.
Four paragraphs. That means you are baby.
Mario is a kid's franchise, dude. It's for babies. It's perfectly fine to like children's media as an adult and it doesn't make you less intelligent, but you're kidding yourself if you think it's anything else than what it is.
@@kongoubongo2970 I don't even like Mario. I've never seen the movie and I doubt I ever will. My point was about Adam since the video covers him. Something like Teletubbies is actually for babies and I don't think the Mario movie is aimed at such a young audience. It's more for toddlers from what I understand.
@@Azdroc96 JFC it's just a joke you are taking way too literally and reading too far into...I grew up playing Mario games & my older brother would call them baby games all the time. He didn't actually think people who played them were babies or stupid. It was just a joke because he preferred the more mature games. I am not insulted by the statement at all and I actually enjoyed the movie.
@@rony9351 You misunderstand. I don't care about the Mario movie. I'm trying to understand Adam's thinking and so far it doesn't make sense to me. Adam spent 10 minutes talking about it so obviously this issue(?) is not a joke to him.
Adam said something along the lines of "I'm talking about the movie not the audience" but failed to realize that saying that movie is for a specific audience means bringing that movie's audience into the conversation. I think it might be that Adam sees himself talking about the movie exclusively and doesn't even see himself talking about people in any capacity. Therefore he is surprised when people take offense to his comments about the film's audience.
I’m sorry, him *_not understanding how an insult to an audience’s intelligence would be taken as an insult_* is literally one of the most autistic things he’s ever said. And covering his own ass by saying “you’re insecure if you’re insulted by me directly insulting you” makes it even worse, that’s almost like… sociopathy levels of just not understanding basic shit about a lot of people.
Jesus christ my guy, calm it a little. You're unironically more unhinged than Adum is.
You're responding to gaslighting with more gaslighting. Watch out or everything will burn down.
