To be fair, he has credibility and is entertaining to watch. While most movies nowadays have a track record of being consistently awful. So consumers are sick of being played for chumps by studios that hate them.

But people get praising it, like here we have some coolest shit ever, however wacthing more episodes here and there left me still unimpressed. Then there was a Battle, great, finally something worth watching for. Wrong: three episodes in a row fearing, preparing, more debauchery, repugnant characters talking shit behind each others back, all the usual, and then....let's skip the battle: organize our troops for slaughter right outside the walls and send the mobile ones as sacrificial lambs for the advancing army and watch from afar how they disappear in the night, taken out one by one. This plan was devised by a koala bear. And then that unimpressive brat stabs in to save the day. Or night to be exact, but it's so hard to care, when everything is just so foolish and silly.

It's been a thing with entertainment in general. Not just Hollywood. Gaming had it too where around 2008 as older millennials started seeking jobs within entertainment and journalistic industries as a means of getting their worldview out there for others to digest. By 2012 they were turning games into mild political soapboxes with what they could get away with. A lot of people really don't give GamerGate the credit it deserves, and when they managed to con the public into some farce that it was solely about "Men gamers hated women gamers for wanting to feel included" when in reality, the origins of GamerGate happened because Zoe Quinn was getting very favorable reviews on a lukewarm indie game by journalists she was known to pal around with, and in some cases sleep with. It was an ethics complaint from gamers over whether we could trust our journalists who were clearly being paid off by companies to say games like Dragon Age 2 were the second coming when they were a steaming pile of shit but the company wrote a check with an extra 0 that day. Now in 2024 they don't make any effort to hide it. A far cry from back 6 years ago when Blizzard was trying to come up with 50 different excuses why in Battle For Azeroth, all of the main characters driving the story were females and any males were relegated to submissive cuck status. Now they openly tell their users if they don't like the wokeness to quit the game and berate them before privating their own account when they realize more people are against their shit than they think. It's been going on in Hollywood for far longer, but it's the same fucking thing. Except movies affect more people than games, so it took a lot longer for the veil to be pulled.

Been happening with gaming and journalism far longer than this. Never forget that KZread had to tweak its algorithm to effectively lower independent content that built the site in favor of the Mainstream Media news titans who a couple decades prior said the internet was a dumb fad and would never go anywhere. Then made hit piece after hit piece showing the most disturbing or controversial videos they could find and telling parents to not let their kids use the site, as well as suggesting legislation to punish companies for what gets uploaded on their sites if they don't police it correctly. I'm about 95% sure most of the hate mob around Elon buying Twitter can be traced back to some journalist with an ego mad they weren't going to get special treatment anymore and instead had to obey the same rules as everyone else. CNN straight up doxxed a KID, went to his house and then bragged on a broadcast the same day they found the kid and told him they'd "be forced to use his personal details" if he didn't stop posting "Hateful memes"... said meme was some WWE clip where Trump attacks some dude with the CNN logo over his head. Legally to a normal person, that's considered Blackmail and in pretty much all states classified as a felony. Not only did CNN skate on this despite admitting to blackmail on air, people actually praised them for it and thought CNN was fighting tyranny. Oh to fight tyranny by silencing your opposition... I say the same thing when I put on a black mask and beat the shit out of people for the cardinal sin of having a different opinion than my own and telling the world I'm fighting fascism so therefore employing fascist means ACROSS THE FUCKING BOARD doesn't make me a fascist.

Because they're being criticized for the lousy product they're (Hollywood) is putting out, that's why they're going after "Critical Drinker" and other KZread critics. Hollywood (aka "Hollyweird") can't "see the forest for the trees." Not to mention that Hollywood (namely Disney) is losing money hand over fist by the tune of Tens of Millions, if not Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. That's a Business Model that can't be sustained in the Long Term. People likeKevin Fiege, Kathleen Kennedy, Bob Iger, and Leslye Headland should be thrown out of Disney. They're literally destroying a once great entertainment company (Disney) and franchises like Star Wars and the MCU.

They live in a bubble which no dissenting opinions are allowed to penetrate; any view divergent from their own, they label as "toxic" or "misogynistic". They think everyone else thinks just like them, and then get angry when told otherwise in no uncertain terms, and then revert to their tired old playbook.

Joker - Critics' score 68%, Audience score 89% Batwoman - Critics' score 70%, Audience score 12% It's the people at the top of the system that are out of touch.

Of course, what else can be?

typical corporate behaviour, take no responsibility for anything negative, privatize profits, externalize costs, blame everybody but those responsible

One of the things that come to mind is this is just another attack on freedom of speech. The studios are looking for anyone to blame for their bad work. They could have hired better to make stories then present them. These actors much of them young do not know any better and most likely had directors that were told not to do their jobs, and some directors were a part of the problem of being activists and not story tellers. I used to be a movie fanatic but now-a-days I can care less. I stopped watching movies in the theaters 20 years ago. I have been to less than a hand full of movies in the theaters since then. It also does not help that seeing a movie in the theater is too expensive. It also does not help that actors and other in that business say and do things that are ignorant and that is even reported by the main stream news, as well as what actors and directors said on social media. The problem is that Hollywood forgot that that in order to made good movies that must tell good stories that make sense. Not throw in politics. Politics is what causes theaters to be empty. Hollywood used to know this. But now-a-days, Hollywood does not seem to care at all. Even before DEI lead movies, they were not doing a good job telling stories of regardless of the type of movie that it was. I hope that these movie reviewers on KZread that got some type of court letter, will counter sue underneath the whole idea of freedom of speech. That is something that democrats can't handle.

It is never , ever , ever their fault . This is what happens when you put an ideology into the mix . They have an unshakeable belief that they are GOOD and MORAL . They will never stop " the work is never done " . This CS Lewis quote is apt I think _"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"_ .

We all learn more from our failures, than our successes. The first step is to admit that you have failed. By blaming others, Hollywood is avoiding the admission that they have failed with many recent movies.

Imagine the future: “You posted a negative review of a popular media; this caused viewership to plummet by 87%. As such, you were sued for damages to reputation and for lost profits. The courts found you liable and ordered you to pay $300 million, which was the estimated profits lost due to the reduced viewership caused by your negative review video. Since you couldn’t pay this amount up front, your wages, income, and any other sources of revenue were garnished by 75%.”
