Hollywood media has continued to attack online movie critics recently seemingly going after critics like The Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic. However things have reached an even new low with an article labelling online critics as right wing activists, while also trying to pin Disney against critics and make it out as if there is an ongoing battle between Disney and online movie critics like Nerdrotic. So in this video I go over all the reasons why movie critics are important and why Hollywood needs people like The Critical Drinker because as much as they can ruin a movies reputation they can also help it if it's a good film.

"The audience needs protection from losing money."
So very true.
And the underlying concept Hollywood fails to understand is that they don't have an automatic right to the money in my wallet. They need to earn that money. And that means proving to me every single time that they deserve my money.
Current Hollywood has proven the opposite. They don't deserve my money. I used to go to the movies all the time. Now I need to hear from several reliable sources that a movie is worth seeing.
Dune 2 was enjoyable. Mainly because it was immersive. I wasn't watching a movie so much as being on another planet riding a sandworm.
More like Dune 2, less like Madame Web and She-Hulk.
You should go on The Critical Drinker's open bar (live stream) some time :) If you haven't already
If Hollywood had any brains at all. The best way to "combat" the Drinker would be to give him a job, a budget and see what happens. If he fails, he destroys his own credibility. But if he is actually a talented writer, he can churn out financial successes for the struggle studios.
Its literally win win for the studio. He either loses his caches with a failure or they get all the money.
When you cant objectively look at a situation for a simple solution. Is it really about politics? or is it simply hatred?
We all know.
Honestly I personally don’t like those 2 clowns🤡🤡. Nope 👎🏽
I left a comment that I think got deleted. There were no bad words and it was not disrespectful.
Imagine being called racist and sexist because you want better made movies
Pure insanity ahahaha
@@thejessegrant "ahahaha" is laughing with you "hahaha" is laughing at you
Or being called a homophobe because you follow female transgender pornstars on reddit and you leave nothing but good compliments on their looks that isn't really homophobic at all.
yup but they are never going to change, just ignore these franchises and save your money. Many said MCU was done after Endgame anyway, so it should be easy. I think it ended with Infinity War. Star Wars died a long time ago. They aren't listening, they can make great movies, but they won't. Feminism is their focus, they already made this clear.
or imagine getting called woke or a leftie because you don't agree with every take of a critic
Sometimes it's quite surprising how simliar far left and far right people are in their behaviour
Today, if you don’t agree 100% with someone, that’s considered political. No one is allowed an independent opinion anymore.
Pretty crazy! We shouldn’t agree with 100% of everything anyone thinks we’re all individual that’s what makes life interesting
yup true and this is happening on both ends. Try going to certain channels to comment that you actually like something or dislike something, you will feel the wrath. no such thing as an independent opinion anymore, you are called woke, shill, incel, simp, racist, sexist, for opinions now. It's gotten way too bad these days, actors, directors, writers, businesses all play a role in it, dividing fans. Once comics, video games, etc. became mainstream, it became popular and political.
Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly, there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable. But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. V for Vendetta (The full speech so closely parallels today's society, it's amazing)
No.. That's just the left. They even often refuse to talk to someone who is not in their bubble.
Because the herd-thinkers call the shots in all aspects of Western civilisation today, while still labelling themselves as "oppressed", incredibly.
They're butt hurt because more people watch Critical Drinker's videos than their high budget narcissistic daydream fantasies. And yes, he's a better writer than them.
If Scotland goes after him with their new hate speech laws, that’s the call to go to war.
And the reality of it all is that these garbage movies ARE the best they can do with the mediocre staff they've saddled themselves with.
I think there may be another reason why they are butt hurt 😉
😂@@z28mjt
Remakes are more rampant than ever
It’s a proof that Drinker and Nerdrotic have an impact on the bottom lines of woke movie makers. 😮
Yes, they do. Nerdrotic's "M-SHE-U" was acknowledged even by media shills like Grace Randolph.
woke! lol! you're really bright
@@Countfoscolikesmice right.. its thrash
@@Countfoscolikesmice You're right they are not just woke. Most of the movie writers, actors, and Hollywood have become misandrist, intersectional radical feminist, Anti-white racist, hetero-phobic Hacktivist Grifters that care more about their personal politics, ideology, and inserting themselves as the main character of their stories over producing a good movie, but that's a mouth full to say every time so the blanket term woke is used instead to apply to all the above.
@@Countfoscolikesmice What do you call it? For an example let's say Gemini A.I., what do you call that mindset?
Why the people who hate the nazis so much start to act like nazis? Its getting pretty ridiculous.
Accuse them of what you're guilty of*
One of their tactics 🤷🏻
Similar thing to why more often than not kids that were abused become abusers. You become what you despise. But yeah these people are gross
Because they always were the real natzis. After 8 years of them crying about "muh fascism" it's time to finally call them what they are
Always have been
Why do they give actual Nazis standing ovations and medals?

Awe poor Hollywood, criticism hurts their feelings
True, especially when they're kowtowing to China for that sweet box-office money. No hate towards any ethnic Chinese (I'm Vietnamese btw), but the fact they have to censor their movies just because a foreign power that suppresses any form of freedom and violates human rights demands it is frustrating. Kinda like constantly giving free candy to a mean, spoiled child after they kicked you in the shin and spat at your face. In this case, the CCP is the spoiled child and Hollywood is somewhat guilty as well.
Poor mega corporations.
They did it to themselves.
Maybe if critics would stop having such an ego and insulting them like children, maybe then Hollywood wouldn't retaliate by calling you all right-wing activists. No one likes being treated or talked down to in such a degrading manner, especially you, so why do it?
Also maybe if critics would stop using political buzzwords, then perhaps Hollywood wouldn't assume the worst. So go ahead and play victim while also vilifying them for something that, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't require all that petty vitriol.
And before you accuse me of something that is nonexistent, I agree that Hollywood is bias towards woke culture and I dislike mediocrity, but I am not going to sugarcoat critics and audiences because they don't know the meaning of the word dignity.
@@ulfberht4431 I couldn't get through your entire rant, but I found it funny that you liked your own comment
Hollywood (and you too) forget that Drinker is only seen by English speakers, and this is far from the majority of the world's population. The fact that these movies flop around the world proves that the problem isn't the criticism, but the movie itself.
If you bring facts to the table, your only going to make them madder.
Whoa whoa whoa. This is the internet sir. Logical arguments do not belong here. I should be able to report this offensive comment because I am insulted. You know what's worse than hate speech? Reason speech.
Hi, Frenchman hère ! Yes, I'm the exception, not the rule, but don't discount foreigners that fast. We know what happens in the US will come knocking at our door with a five to ten years delay.
@@PatmanAndTheScoobies Brazilian here. I can categorically affirm that none of my friends even know who the Critical Drinker is, and yet all of them find She Hulk and the new SW trilogy terrible. 😂
There are hundreds of these channels in any language. What's your point.
Even if it's all about politics, it's their right to say whatever they want to say. If they say they don't want female characters, it's their right to say so. That's what free speech is about.
100% but on that note they do only fight for better movies ahahaha
Their defence against Gina C is ..
We had a 1st amendment right to fire her for her opinions 😂
No lie
This guy will no doubt make a video on it very soon
thing is, if you ask them about previously well written strong females, they are all on board. Its the well written part people intentionally avoid. Nobody had an issue with Sarah Connor or Ellen Ripley. And in both cases they found/developed strength, it was earned. And the results in box office, critics and how well they held up over time shows it.
Is Disney shying away from *Diversity*, if conflicts their opinion of what Society should be?
Sounds a bit too 1930’s Europe to me. 😮
But then a full 1-2% of the population will refuse to watch their movies, rather than the 98-99% that refuse to watch them now! Intolerable! (This is their logic. Sad, huh?)
How do you know they don't have any good arguments? Because their arguments often consists of calling the other side "-ists" or accusing them of "-ism".
They win arguments not by logic but by victumhood
And win arguments by making peeps afraid to even stand up for themselves and their side and their point, by making them afraid of losing jobs and even getting physically attacked when the lefties doxe them , by making peeps scared for their very loved ones and even their children!!! That is SICK and disgusting and the most cowardice behaviour I have EVER even seen!
Why do I like Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic? They are funny, honest with the movies and tv shows they watch and know when they suck. Not because of DEI and Woke (even though that's the biggest subjects) but because they were not entertaining. Like them, I don't always want a movie or a show that sends "THE MESSAGE!". But I want something that inspires, that connects with me, something shakanga (Wayne's World 2). Also, I want these film and TV Show makers to respects another person's work and not destroy it, like what Netflix brutally butchered the Witcher.
to be honest, I don't care much for nerdrotic but I LOVE the drinker
Honest is definitely the correct word. There have been several occasions where Drinker admitted he got it wrong, and the movie actually turned out better than he was expecting. That is why I trust his opinion over Rotten Tomatoes.
@@46sn29 I don't trust any critical website but the drinker has proven himself to be a reputable source and he's one of my many inspirations as a film critic myself, I'm not well known or respected but I live by his code of honesty myself :)
@@AbrasiousProductions Ditto, He whines abut the same crap all the time. Drinker however is witty and insightful to watch at times.
I like Drinker but funny is a HUGE stretch
Right-wing activists? It's hilarious how this nonsense keeps getting thrown out there. Forced DEI in creative work is apolitical. In fact, it's a fascist sentiment. These Disney defenders are so far left now that they don't even realize that they're spitting in the faces of moderate leftists and centrists. The fact is that, when you force your own political agenda onto creative works, thus sacrificing story, character, plot, etc. you are engaged in producing fascist, socially engineered work that NO ONE wants to see unless they're part of the same extreme-left mindset.
Then why is the company still named after a member of all the same oppressor classes as Joe Biden?
yeah, nothing gets people off your side like taking it way too far.
Exactly
Calling critical drinker far right is a bit much, but its definitely true that his critiques ARE mostly explicitly "anti-woke"/right-wing political commentary
@@orozcodavid101 they can’t say right wing without framing it as ‘far’, ‘extreme’ or ‘radical’ anymore, no matter who you are or what it’s about. They want anyone the right (or even centrists) painted as scary or abnormal.
I can't count the amount of times I left the cinema wishing I could get my time and or money back because the movie was so incredibly boring or just plain aggravating. So now I'm just not going anymore, unless a reviewer who also values a good story tells me it's safe to go. And you're absolutely right: this has saved me a lot of money! You did this entirely to yourself, Hollywood!
You didn't like it and still watched it all the way through? I took my teenaged son to see "Bumblebee", and after we ended up in the woods to discuss her feelings, yet AGAIN, we went straight to the box office and got our money back. I recommend you do that next time so you don't add to the box office of a garbage movie.
Disney can 'call out' political affiliation on their critics all they want, but in the end they are NOT a political movement. They are commercial company with the goal to make money producing entertainment. And in that regard, the audience has last word. Doing politics is not a winning strategy. Creating the content that the audience wants is.
They very much are part of a political movement. Profits no longer matter. They WILL destroy the company in pursuit of broadcasting "The Message". Is that not obvious by now? The Large shareholders are billionaires. They don't care about money. They care about social engineering. Once you accept that, everything else starts to make sense. They WILL force everyone to pick sides. You will be forced to choose between Freedom and morals, or being a slave with no morals. Choose wisely.
Dear Hollywood, do you need a hug and a safe space from all the criticism for failing at your own job.
There, there, now what did we learn from this experience. Oh nothing.
Nice, I like it. Hollywood movies are crap.
Does critical drinker need a safe space? There's plenty to criticize him for
@@orozcodavid101 no ones without their flaws but there is a significant difference between CD and Hollywood. First he's a single individual who makes content on something he loves. He is a writer and is/has made a movie as well so has some experience but mostly is just a guy giving his opinion on movies. If you like his content then you watch it and it seems quite a lot of people do. He doesn't attack his audience or potential audience either.
Hollywood is this massive machine that targets the entire globe with over 100k employees and at the moment they are attacking anyone that criticises then. They are using sections of the media to target specific individuals and silence them, thats a level of maliciousness I have not seen before. The fact that so many people in a industry that is literally built on ideas and different views can't take the fact that a lot of people are no longer enjoying what they create and are actively being vocal as to why, is seriously concerning.
I didn’t go to see, and still haven’t seen, Captain Marvel because a critic not under the iron fist of Hollywood told me it was crap, but because the toxic lead actress told me, as a Marvel fan and straight white male, the movie wasn’t for me.🤷♂️
Since that point, multiple, actors, producers and directors have said exactly the same thing when promoting their film or tv show, don’t tell me your product isn’t for me and then get angry when I don’t see your product 🤷♂️
Am in the side of critical drinker and nerdeotic doesnt mean i always have to agree with them,i like captain marvel but they are often right about which movie or serie is crap
This…💯💯💯
@@Marcustheseer I don’t agree with everything he says, but at least we know he isn’t controlled by Hollywood like other critics. He is also much more measured than that hysterical buffoon from heelsvbabyface.
Don't watch our movie, its not made for you but make sure you actually go to the theatre to watch the movie. We also don't want to hear you complain about this movie that isn't for you and in fact was made to insult you, just pay for the movie tickets. And remember this isn't for you but our success is banking on you.
"Right-wing extremist" is the label that neo-Marxists give to anyone who disagrees with their world view. This is not only the case in the US, but also in Canada, Australia and Europe.
Even my land is die because off feminist and LGBTQ even Turkey is falling can anyone stop this nonsense men ww2 was maybe wrong side won😂
It seems when you can't pay for someones generous opinion, they become a right-wing activist
There are plenty of non-political movie reviewers that don't like disney, it's definitely true that critical drinkers commentary is through a very "anti-woke" right-wing lens, him not liking disney has nothing to do with that.
So basically, Disney has nothing of substance to say about the criticisms, so it instead resorts to ad hominem attacks which are an admission of lack of arguments.
What are they complaining about? The modern audiences they make movies for are keeping them successful. They don't need our bigot money.
Funny how some guy in his basement in Scotland with a drinking problem has the power to destroy a multi-billion dollar corporation that has been making movies for almost 100 years.
I saw the title and pissed my pants. Because of Drinker and Nerdrotic I've probably saved thousands of dollars. Also because of them my Disney boycott is stronger than ever.
Not just thousands of dollars, but more importantly saved me from hours of shit "entertainment" that I would have wasted prime leisure time.
@@samryan180 Indeed, we have a limited time in this simulation.
Saved me like 3 days worth of time.
It’s more like the wrong opinions are dangerous to Blackrock’s investments. I’ll bet if you looked into this, all of the news and media outlets saying this have Blackrock as a majority shareholder.
They will get that money no matter what. That's why they openly despise the audience now.
@@RachelNichols-writer The useless breathers feel confident enough in their positions of power to show their true faces at last.
The reason this is so widespread across not just Hollywood but the spectrum of western entertainment ( if not society) is that in the 80's & 90's teacher training colleges were taken over by devotees of Brazilian Marxist Paolo Freire's Pedagogy of Education which instructs teachers ( and university lecturers) that the only legitimate function of education is to create Marxist activists, furthermore Freire's work teaches how to convert every academic subject into a vehicle for Marxist indoctrination.Having produced 20 years worth of indoctrinated activists incapable of thinking outside of the parameters of their indoctrination we see also how this process combined with a generation of narcissists raised by parents and teachers beholden to the "all must have prizes" culture and weaponised by social media. This toxic stew has produced a generation of indoctrinated narcissists not only incapable of producing content free of their ideology but utterly incapable of absorbing the slightest criticism without public or online meltdowns that have become all to fuckin familiar.Sorry for the rant but once you understand the process that created today's entertainment shit show it is very hard to unsee it's evil hands.
Spot on.
There are two realities right now. Reality of the sane, and of the insane.
I just got into a disagreement/argument with someone because I said it's a biological fact that a man can't just become a woman because he feels like it that day (referring to the recent NCAA coach's quote). The person told me that's just my opinion. I knew at that point, that there was no point in saying any more. They'd been indoctrinated to the point of no return. That's unfortunately the mindset we're dealing with, with these people.
It's a cult
@@mack7170 It's wild to me, that people unironically believe this stuff.
I mean...I get that certain things have been around for centuries...but we called them for what they were. We all know what a "ladyboy" is. And if that's what they want to do, I couldn't care less. My problem is with trying to claim he's an actual woman.
But more and more people these days actually believe this stuff. That a man can just up and decide he feels like a woman one day, and voila...he's a woman. It's insane.
@@tizodd6 All enabled with nefarious intent as end solu... i mean goal.
That person you were debating with sounds so offensively stupid.......I wouldn't trust him/her/it(pronoun) to make a cup of coffee.
I find the Drinker's opinions SPOT ON! The Hollywood media can take their opinions and put them where the sun don't shine.
Desperate. That Piers Morgan interview really hurt them it seems
Man, I just can't believe these people have... the absolute *NERVE* to give movies criticism and share their genuine thoughts! They just *S U C K* .
Yeah especially when everyone knows the movies and shows are the best ever, it's just streaming that's the problem!! Oh and superhero fatigue... Did I get my talking points straight?
@ michaelxz1305= I hope that's sarcasm?!?IF not then NO these woke turd movies suck and are the worst ever!!
Speaking as a religious conservative who dislikes most of the movies put out by religious studios, it's not just about the message. Bad art is bad art regardless of whether I like the message or not.
The message is a huge chunk of what makes bad art bad because it is the excuse they used to sacrifice everything else. And if the message is false, then no elaborate filmmaking techniques can salvage it, and no actor is good enough to make a bad message good.
I appreciate your demonstrated self-awareness about your "side." Christian themed movies remind me of Christian rock worship songs. I'd rather listen to hold music, and it isn't because of the message. How Great Thou Art, God's Gonna Cut You Down, Wayfairing Stranger, Amazing Grace, The Man Comes Around, even Ave Maria for the RCs. Or Boney M - Mary's boy child, a disco christmas track, are all great songs. But like you said Christian movies? I can't think of a good one since The Passion of The Christ. It's like they combine the worst of after school specials, hallmark movies, and daytime soap opera level acting to churn out holier than thou feel good slop. "Wholesome" doesn't mean it has to be so over the top feel-good that isn't relatable or believable.
For me i believe the concepts of diversity, equality, and inclusion are important. But i can't stand the disingenuous virtue signaling. Over correction is not the way to fix the mistakes of the past.
Always wild to find out anyone that isn't 87 years old is religious these days (unless you are?). As a secular republican it's sad to feel like the people who agree with my politics are all religious.
It's another trick to avoid accountability. The next question should be "is there any conceivable criticism that can't be reduced to cries of racism/sexism/blobism/etc?"
When it involves incompetence on the scale we have seen from Disney, then yes. At some point, merit and results are going to have to come into the equation.
No, they hate critics, because critics used to be poor. Easily bought. Now, critical drinker is probably richer than 10+ critics, and they HATE that.
Attacking critics on TH-cam like Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker and many others is pathetic, idiotic and pointless. THE FILMS FLOPPED AS THEY ARE BAD!!!!! People did not go to see them for many reasons. Not because they read a review or watched a video on youtube a few days after the film came out!!! Most of the trust is gone. The game is up. People expect dross from Disney / Star Wars / Trek / Marvel etc as that is all they have been getting for the last ten years plus!!!!! So they wont go and see a film automatically anymore, as the brand is damaged. Thats down to Disney and Hollywood, they did this to themselves.
WE ARE NOT HERE BECAUSE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL! She is simply the face of your failure, Mr. Kevin Feige.
*John Wick: Chapter 4 reference*
Ahahahaha
Funny i dont realy understand why they use her picture but fine,i rather liked captain marvel but to each there own
disclaimer: girl power and box office power are not the same thing
@@Marcustheseer She specifically went after white male movie reviewers. If someone comes into your work calls you names refuses to elaborate and leaves you probably wouldn't like them either. Plus she's just so wooden. How does someone that boring get work? I guess how you perform on the casting couch and the screen just don't always add up. Also you must be her 1 fan there's a reason in the comics why she's in a coma and the much more likeable Rogue is rocking her powers. Remember Rogue? We could have Rogue. Like right now. Instead they push Captain Marvel which noone ever liked even in the comics they're rebooted her like 4 times. She killed Tony Stark ffs.
@@Drak976 ya oke you got a point there,i wouldnt take all that to personaly but ya saying that is gonna rub people the wrong way thats true.
I will say, hats off to drinker for not engaging with the multitude of channels trying to paint him as a shallow conservative critic.
Thanks for your content
Mainstream Media realy raise the threat levels of TH-cam Critics from "irrelevant loud minority" to "threat to society"
to quote Anchorman : "Boy that escalated quickly"
Will Ferrell needs to be canceled and arrested for his complicity in Barfbie. And *Anchorman* was extremely overrated man-bashing crap to begin with.
“Disney defeats critics after bruising battle”.
I saw the debate, both Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic made solid points, and in no point did they promote any hate speech or right wing activism, it all just came down to them saying that the writers were more focused on being diverse rather than reading or respecting the source material. The Disney representative on the other hand was fixated on making movies with diverse casts ignoring how that takes a toll on the movies, so yeah, Disney clearly came out as the losers.
I know a lof of left wing people who also hate this movies. It's got nothing to do with politics
The problem with Drinker’s critique is that it assumes a compromise is the proper solution. “We only cut off half of the balls.”
As fellow critic Snarky Jay would say ... something snarky. And blisteringly accurate. You all have our support.
1:05 if being a normal is a far right extremism, than everyone who criticize anyone who thinks like Disney and Netflix is a right extremist, even the people who don’t fit politically to the description.
Yeah it’s pretty crazy
@@thejessegrant Yup, the more it'll be the case, the more I want to create anything cartoony or anime, or at least have a cartoony or anime adaptation of my future books (if they have some, I'm only saying).
If having common sense makes you a right-wing extremist, then this is an admission that you have to be crazy to be on the left.
I know, I know. Logic is racist...
You are going to be forced to pick a side whether you want to or not.
@@spartanx169x then I pick the side that doesn’t mutilate Gay boys.
This is akin to gamergate, where the industry uses its industry press allies to shut down consumers.
We need to stand by THE CRITICAL DRINKER .
The bottom line is it’s entertainment not a platform of obedience to one political view or the other. Disney’s decision to attack males as bad guys while emphasizing female empowerment, the LBGTQ+, and attack political discourse is called preachy propaganda. In Ordinary Angel a movie I urge everyone to see we have both a strong, accessible female lead and a strong male supporting lead. No politics but two well written, meaningfully acted characters whose lives intersect. While Disney and Amazon continue to churn out sewage from slimy and creepy studio heads, directors and hateful and hate filled actresses. Disney is winning nothing and the BBC is full of crap.
The G in that offensive acronym means Gay and Gay MEN are sick and tired of being collateral damage of their Kelloggesque neo-Victorian fear of male sexuality and obsession with feces.
Hollywood doesn't have to make movies I want to see. That being said, I don't have to see movies I don't want to see. Until the studios address their subpar writing & prioritize entertaining storytelling over ham-fisting ideology, they cannot recover.
Jesse, you should check out the company BRIDGE. Very scary stuff.

The MESSAGE… brilliant insert. 😂
One of the biggest things I like about TH-cam critics: they're not pretentious snobs who only care if a movie is 'art'. Before TH-cam days, the best way to know if a movie was any fun to watch was if critics bashed it. Of course, everyone has their preferences on the kinds of movies they like and I don't begrudge those who enjoy movies that are 'deep and complex and make you think'. But me? I just want to be told a story and be entertained for a few hours. TH-cam critics are a lot more 'every man'. Sure you still comment on points that I don't put a lot of emphasis on and some (such as The Drinker) do favor more of the 'deep' movies in their preferences. But even he's like 'there's nothing wrong with a good popcorn film if that's all you're after'. I trust you guys a lot more than most 'professional' (ie: main stream media) critics.
Yep, if critics bashed it, there was a 90% chance the movie would be great. If they praised it, it generally sucked. That part has not changed.
Hollyweird basically has 1 opinion: "shut up peasants and just give us your money".
Yeah people having free will and opinions are so dangerous.
Ahahahaha
I hope they get sued. Sick of these hacks getting away with their blatant propaganda and shithousery
There is a market for B rated movies and mindless entertainment but calling it what it is shouldn't bother anybody. There is also a market for political commentary and if you are doing that don't try to pretend it's something else. You will be called out on it. Why does Disney think their audience is dumb. Nobody wants to be indoctrinated by the marvels. If you are going to make a movie with a message think of the pianist, an amazing movie but certainly comes with a message.
Unlike Modern Disney Critical Drinker has willing fans ready to support and defend him.
Well said! thx for keeping us informed.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the support!
It’s fine to choose whatever political side you want to be on. That’s okay, it’s your choice. But you can’t falsely call out, insult, or discredit someone for being an extremist activist when you yourself are one, Hollywood.
Pretty soon, having them in your YT search history with leave you open to a charge of “Associating With Known Dangerous Persons”.
They are dangerous to their bottom line, by exposing their BS
This means we're winning if they're attempting to take the biggest voices out with the -isms and -phobes accusations
I actually liked the Drinker until he popped up on Piers Morgan. Now I gotta be more critical and questioning.
Left-wing Activists Feel Threatened by Non-left-wing Activists
That point about holding Disney accountable because you know they can do better is right on. So many people are saying that they can't wait for Disney to die, but I don't want that. Even now they are perfectly capable of making art like they used to, and they just don't. It's so frustrating. The company with almost unlimited resources is run by the least creative film makers in history.
What else are they supposed to do? How does one critique a movie which is all about pushing a certain politics agenda? In my country there is a saying which goes something of the sort 'The thief cries out 'get the thief' - in other words place the blame on someone else for your own crimes.
a trip to cinema these days is very expensive and tireed of walkign out feeling ripped off we do need critics like the drinker and co to filter them out
They really need to stop this nonsense. The reason why we are all calling this out is because we are sick an tired of this woke crap. Like I've said before. If Hollywood, Disney, and celebs just take a great look at 2022s masterpiece TOP GUN Maverick then their will be no more backlash. I personally want a rated R movie titled. Elizabeth Bathory The Blood Countess and it's directed by Guillermo Del Toro and the infamous historic figure/monster is performed by Hayley Atwell. Now that's a movie that a lot of people (myself included) will pay for because it is an original movie even though it isn't.
When the Flack gets massive you know you are over the target
They are a danger...to them. Voices like Gary's are the ones that need to be lifted up.
Each passing day more, yet a detached millionaire is going to be voted (again) into office, I wouldn't care less if it did not directly affected Europe as well, corpo murican enabled agents everywhere spreading their corruption.
Amazon’s Fallout just knocked it out of the park with Ella Purnell as Lucy! This will put a wrench in Disney’s cog.
Holding them account is the correct way especially since the people working on these films are riding the names of greatness. The old films you mentioned had writers and directors like Walt Disney and Stan Lee (for marvel) aren't all still alive now.
The reason politics is criticise though is because Disneys CEO got caught out saying he wanted to use the medium to take political stances.
Perhaps if people like Nerdotic and Critical Drinker didn’t use buzzwords a lot and acted like bigoted skanks, whether they are being hyperbolic or not, maybe Hollywood wouldn’t get so heated and label them as right winged activists.
And before you assume the nonexistent, I am not defending Hollywood as I find Hollywood as spineless and unappealing, but I am not gonna sugar coat modern critics as well.
Exactly, Critical drinkers critiques overwhelmingly come from an "anti-woke" lens and you can typically predict what his takes will be just from the thumbnail now. So much so that you could create a drinking game out of it. Drink everytime CD says "the message", "strong female lead" or "woke hollywood"
I think you missed the staff meeting where Drinker invented "The Message" meme & Nerdrotic invented the term "M-She-U"... which others then turned into buzzwords. I guess acting like "bigoted skanks" is in the eye of the beholder, cos I don't see it. Notwithstanding, explain how that relates to them delivering eloquent & on-point criticism where it's warranted, which is their trade-mark and why they have the followings they do.
@@ianoz1
So what are you saying exactly? That CD and Nerdotic’s buzzwords are acceptable and they don’t have to be held accountable for saying these kinds of buzzwords which is why people often mistake them for being alt right activists? Or are you talking nonsense just to white knight them and make me feel inferior because I don’t understand your word salad? Sugarcoating at its finest.
@@ulfberht4431 Then let's remove all doubt, shall we. Yes, the "buzzwords" are acceptable when they are warranted, which I've noted is always the case with their reviews. Very few are "mistaking" these guys for alt-right activists. Most of those identifying them as such are doing so falsely, deliberately & maliciously. And I seriously doubt that either a successful Scottish author or a guy who survived the US prison system need anyone to be their white knight, but here we are. 😁
@@ulfberht4431 This is just unhinged rambling.
Damn right they’re dangerous to Hollywood. Just having those channels aren’t making fans dislike their stuff, it’s their stuff that’s making the fans not like their stuff.
Joke. I’ve had more fun watching Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker than watching anything they’ve put out for years.
If some random person on TH-cam is making a multi billion dollar corporation scared that says way more about the state of that corporation then any opinion that may be voiced.
They have million dollar marketing firms that are in their side. They have billion dollar companies making the product.
Those guys are just randoms on YT.
What a joke. That makes it even worse. How desperate do you have to be to worry about some critic.
Hahahahaha. It’s a joke actually. Like wow, man, you’re so afraid those two guys are wrecking your stuff. Your stuff must really suck because no amount of criticism would overcome a good movie.
Hahahahah. It’s a laugh actually.
100% right aha
“Critical drinker is one of the most successful writers than any screenwriter in Hollywood.”
Even though said “successful writer” can’t tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese media. Literally, he thought Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a Japanese movie.
Plus, he caters to more modern big budget movies rather than smaller indie movies, not to mention appealing to the lowest common denominator when it comes to criticism. And you wonder why people hate CD?
Lmao, leftist chairfighter ?
@@skibidi.G
Oh I see, so because I criticise your little senpai, that automatically makes me a leftist? What caveman logic you have.
For the record, I have no political side. Critics and movie makers are both bad and neither one should be victimised. However, just because I am only criticising CD for his stupidity, that doesn’t mean I’m a leftist, but I guess it does in your troglodyte brain.
@@skibidi.G

@@ulfberht4431 My troglodyte caveman brain is not only right but you know it . Deal with it 😎
Great. This will open some eyes among those who are still asleep.
I don't in the slightest agree with Gary's politics, or any politics tbh. I think politicians on all sides are a bunch of self-serving scumbags. That doesn't mean I judge people on their politics. All I care about is good story and believable, NORMAL people. I want to watch shows for a good story, period. The problem is, I'm not bringing any politics to my decision, BUT THEY ARE. It's got to the point now, which I hate, that I whenever I watch a show, I'm thinking about how Woke it is/isn't. I DON'T want to think that way! I don't want to watch a black actor wondering if a better white actor missed out on the part because of this nonsense.
April 11, 2024 - Mr. Grant makes some very valid points in this video. However, I would add that box office sales continue to go down for a number of reasons. More and more people are refusing to pay high ticket prices to see poor quality films, while having to deal with anti-social, and rude audience members. Word of mouth has traditionally been a big factor as to whether a film is successful or not. Social media has given even more power to word of mouth. Technology is snapping at the heels of "legacy entertainment" and the publications that rely on it for revenue. New VR and AR devices are getting better all of the time, and are really offering a better viewing experience to the public. The "emperor's" sycophants that berate the honest reviewers that point out that the actually naked "emperor" (in this case the entertainment industry), has no clothes. Will continue to make money, but will gradually die off just like so many other "news" outlets and publications. The people that lie and obfuscate for the entertainment industry, will eventually be ignored by the public that they have tried to deceive. The truth can only be hidden for a period of time, but it will eventually come out.
If a movie has success it's because of the amazing performance of the actors, but if flops it's the TH-camrs and toxic fans to blame 😂
Just imagine what MSM thinks of Comics Gate.
Each point was exactly spot on. No one's saying these things yet it's so obvious.
I never ever understood the criticisms "you can't judge a movie until you watch it". What's the alternative? A studio tells me that their movie is great, I go out to watch it and don't think it's great. And the studio gets my money while I feel like I've been cheated? Reviewers keep the entire enterprise honest...or as honest as the film industry can be.
The "racist", "sexist" remarks have been a ploy since 2012. It's meant to be used as a shield that studios can hide behind while putting low/no quality into their films and that's a notable difference between woke Hollywood and Ladyballers. The former uses it as a tactic to put out weak material fortified by virtue signaling while the latter used politics purely to take the piss out of Hollywood.
Totally agree. Movies are not "gifts" to us that we have to like. We pay good money to see them, so we have every right to expect writing that isn't crap.
THE SOLUTION
Stop watching bad movies.
It sucks that in reality a few good movies a year gets released and tons of trash gets released, but unless your completely dense it's not hard to tell the difference.
Some simple rules v0.01
#1 If it's a Disney movie don't directly pay to watch it, give it a year or so and it'll be rammed into your face for free to sell the dregs of its merch to clear the warehouse.
#2 if it's any other Hollywood company don't watch it again give it a year or so and avoiding it for free will be harder than dodging a newspaper websites ads.
#3 if it's a Godzilla movie by Toho just go watch it.
#4 ( to be added in later rules versions )
That's why the people whining about these movies pisses me off just as much as the movies themselves.... They know what they're getting themselves into, they know it will be bad, they know their money will only encourage them to make more regardless of how much people openly hate what they're doing, so why the hell do they keep watching these crappy superhero and Star Wars movies?! "I'm watching it for research so i can tell you guys how bad it is, I've been a fan for decades of the Star Wars trilogy, i have to follow the story".... Well great and all, but STFU about how they wont change how they go about their movies if you're going to pay them to make them anyway...... I swear they're all insane. Keep repeating the same BS and expecting a different outcome 🙄I don't care if they want or expect a different outcome or not, i just wish they'd shut up whining about these movies if they're going to keep watching them.
Why do ticket prices keep going up yet the movie quality keeps going down?
It’s kinda hard not to refer to Nerdrotic and Critical Drinker as political activists when they go on political talk shows like Piers Morgan.
Drinker is so popular because he says what millions of movie fans are thinking. Hopefully the studios will pay some attention as one project after another loses hundreds of millions of dollars and alienates what should be their key demographic of fans.
👍👌Thanx!
Keep up the good work.
Great video. The Critical Drinker also does a great job breaking films down. Most of the movies today suck so bad.
Since Covid if you say you not liking this " lock downs, shots, new remakes of favorite characters " I am now a right-wing hater & am being offered on my media feeds only stuff on how terrible woman are and I as a white man have been disrespected. So I can't believe in human team work & getting along with those that have a different point of view. Seems like there Is a 'the big club" manipulation on high push to fracture my commitment to my neighbors rights to just be who they be. Watch out where the system is trying to take you, woman, minorities, emigrants, you're neighbors, are not doing this to you....they have little power over anything. The low wage, high cost of living to make bloodline family's rule is where to take our pitch forks & torches to, but they are the one's that feed the dog's of obedience to keep you from the truth.
These critics are a danger to the bottom line of a handful of people, but are very useful to millions, by saving us the money we would waste on crap we don't like.
If we all avoided paying for new entertainment for two years, this would all go away.
The thought that Gary/CD are influencing us sheep solely based on their opinion is absolutely ludicrous. Gary/CD are popular because their opinions are similar to our own, just said much more eloquently and resonate with the fans. If everyone loved Madame Web/The Marvels/The Eternals people would laugh at Gary's/CD's takes, and/or they'd just listen to Movie Bob or Campea and then those films would be hugely successful.
Don't personally watch either nerdrotic or CD anymore, but disney is out of their minds and too embarrassed to admit how badly they're doing. Flop after flop after flop. When was the last movie that was a big win for them.......?
Hollywood is so bad, we all seem to forget what it was like in times when society HATED the critics and loved the movies. Now we don't even care about the movies and watch the critics instead. That is bizarre.
12 Angry Men was pretty woke and one of the best films I've ever seen, Why? Because they cared about story.
What I hope will happen is that these articles in the mainstream media will draw more attention to good critics like the Critical Drinker, resulting in more people watch his review and more people realize what is going on.
They call them activists, because they ARE activists.
The Star Wars Sequel movies were bad on many levels, but the critics mainly focused on the toxic female aspect, so in that regard, they were a bit political. But the movies really were very bad. Bombers in the zero gravity of space? Super powerful spaceships that can destroy planets but don't know which direction is up without a special signal? Why do you need a map and a convoluted path to find Luke's planet when you just need coordinates or the name of the planet? The list goes on and on.
Jesse. Love your videos. Keep on doing what you do. Hold these Hollywood elitists accountable. In this climate when people are struggling with high costs, we need folks like you. The DEI and wokeness in film (looking at you Disney) are out of control. I just want to see a good movie without having subliminal "woke" messages. Screenwriters complain about AI coming in and taking over because it's easier for them to moan than fix things. They should look in the mirror and simply say, I need to be better.
If Hollywood had to defend their work on it's merits, they'd have a much harder time than if they just label their critics and dismiss them.
The very reason we viewers need movie critics is the because filmmakers aren’t doing a good job making good films. If most films are good, I wouldn’t feel the need to check the review first. So, this whole thing is on them
8:05 It has been said in a song, "We bitch because we love you, and want you to be great"
