1:00 - Look at that "woman's" face and tell me it doesn't look quite mannish, though. If anything, more so than the portrayal of Joanna Dark. Is this actually a woman or a trans? I mean, I didn't have a problem with the portrayal of Dark in the first place, my issue was the once again portraying a mockup of gameplay as such, that E3 and other such game events are famous for...that gameplay in the trailer clearly wasn't actual gameplay. It was a CGI mockup of what gameplay COULD look like, aside from the far too fluid movement and use of individual arms, etc, that give it away quite plainly that it's NOT gameplay. How would that actual movement and action work on a controller? Go watch the trailer again and really think about how you'd do the things portrayed on a Xbox controller. It would be hard if not impossible.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYajurKkfNmppqw.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYajurKkfNmppqw.html Crazy how he literally has an incredibly mild and level headed opinion about her and literally is the main push back out his cast friends when the topic of her being the figurehead of "wokeness" in modern Hollywood comes up. I love how you literally are cherry picking from the exact clip I posted/you used to skew your argument and conveniently didn't discuss what he says during your cut away's where he validly critiques her credits but then goes one to say "I don't think she ruined that movie" or: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYajurKkfNmppqw.html "she's been touted as like this big deal in Hollywood and people keep trying to make her into this big thing but like she hasn't really actually done anything since Fleabag essentially and that was eight years ago I think that premiered so so it's been a long time uh but yet *_somehow she's got she's acquired this reputation as just like the fucking uh franchise killer who just comes in and destroys everything before her_* " (he goes on to insinuate that this may change to being a legitimate claim depending on how Tomb Raider ends up). *Visible confusion on Drinker's face* I guess were just supposed to believe that the entirety of her character's writing comes from Waller because the actress says so? I don't intend to be calling people liars on the basis of nothing but a healthy amount of skepticism is needed in the internet. In congruence with that notion it's fair to say we actually don't know if Waller played Tomb Raider as a child and it's a bit of an unfair presumption yet one that is founded on her persona or what we know of her persona; which is fair to assume as humans we all need a point a reference when approaching something and although prejudice isn't inherently fair it's inevitable (as well as necessity) and it's up to her to define her public image. She very much comes off as someone who wouldn't play or know anything about it due to the persona she embodies. While it's not fair to say we know for a fact that she has not experienced it as a child it's also our right to make a basic judgement and assume that this truth is more plausible/probable than the alternative based on the information she has given us. Just as we can't say for certain that we know, you also cannot say for a fact the she isn't lying about that for publicity or that Ana isn't lying (doing what her PR rep's tell her to do - you know, like most hollywood/rich people do) about her character's writing credit. Neither us, the audience, nor you can corroborate anything and it's all purely speculation based on our own individual analysis. To Say anyone's deduction is more true that the others is bad faith and narcissistic. We're all speculating based on our subjective views and sharing our conclusions in order to predict the outcome of certain things - and in this case it's quality of her show. Drinker and other rational individuals aren't going around with a smear campaign attempting to ensure the downfall of the the show - no matter how to try to skew your perspective it's just _factually_ not true. If the show bombs it's of its own merit and just goes to show that maybe there's truth to what they are saying and the critics actually do know what they are talking about and maybe the basis of their speculation is based on objective evidence. In regards to modern gaming philosophy: bro if you don't understand what he's trying to say then that's that. You just don't understand. Simple as. Leave it at that and stop trying to jimmy in an argument where none lie. It's essentially a straw-man seeing as you have no idea what your arguing against to begin with. You can justly say that he should elaborate his point for clarification but beyond that anything else you say is just you attempting to make your ground appear more stable than his which is just bad faith. Did it ever occur to you that maybe he surmised in quite an ineloquent and brash manner was because perhaps it wasn't that important to begin with and he was just trying to finish up his statement ASAP seeing as it was detracting from his main point, and him being on a live show needs to find a means to do that while still seeming like he can articulate a sentence properly for his audience. You could also attempt to keep watching/listening to see whether or not his following sentences clear up any misconceptions via additional contextual information or not. Also you do realize these people weren't born online critics right? Like, they were all kids at some point playing video-games among the rest of the masses and didn't have an audience or following. You really think a nobody is going to tell crystal dynamics what they should do to improve their games and the company respond by actually listening and engaging in critique in order to make a better user experience/story? Fuck it - even with their current influence they probably still couldn't change anything in such a direct and visible manner (unless you mean by rage baiting and sending mobs to do ones bidding which is an unethical use of one's platform). On top that: you have to assume that the developer is some how able to circumvent their own fucking publisher (which if you believe that you don't know shit about the industry) in order to do so. Delusional - Major Kappa Chungus. And then you start taking his clearly proverbial/figurative/analogous comments about her being a nuclear deterrent (clearly with a comedic inflection as well btw) seriously as though he's afraid of a woke holocaust from her existence? Are we even talking about the same video? He's using said analogy (COMEDIACLLY) to show that the "Anti-woke mob" is being hysterical about her presence in the industry. THOSE AREN'T EVEN HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT HER. YOU ARE LITERALLY LYING BY IMPLYING OTHERWISE. The man is literally saying that people are being hysterical about her and he is engaging in discourse with his colleagues in order to understand the opposing opinion. He actively recognized her show's accomplishments. He identifies that suspicious pattern in her rise to dominating presence in the industry and is adamant about uncovering why that tis the case is speculating the different reasons as to why that may be. In regards to your final point about him referring back to the SCENE (important to note he isn't talking about the wardrobe - which you seem to be focussing on) and not drawing the same conclusion you drew: It's fair for you to say it seems as though Waller might know about TR because that outfit is congruent. Completely fair to make that assumption/assertion. You still don't know if that's true but a fair guess as any. Regardless of the fact that she literally could've googled something in the realm of "sexy spy dress" - and that could've come up or a myriad of other explanations it's still fair. However, I doubt you've even bothered attempting to consider that just because she writes the character (to what degree neither of us know): SHE ISN'T EVEN THE ONE WHO GET'S TO DECIDE THE WARDROBE. THAT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS RESPOSIBLITLY. YOU ARE MAKING JUST AS MANY ASSUMPTYIONS AS THE INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE ATTMEPTING TO VILLIFY FOR DOING THE SAME THING. YOU ARE BEING A HYPOCRITE. He is mentioning the scene in order to highlight her talent in writing a compelling/engaging/entertaining sequence. You are straw-maning by ignoring the quality of sequence and instead focusing on her fucking clothes (NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER WARDROBE. THAT ISN'T SOMETHING MADE FINAL BY A WRITER [she not even the "key" writer ffs; that sequence could've even been co-written for all we know and therefore influenced by another individual - alas that's neither here nor there]) and whether or not she is a bachelorette - which he isn't even regarding as being negative or wrong. You are completely fixated on whatever nonsense you have conjured up and not even in the least bit on what he his discussing or arguing. That is why you "don't get what [he's] arguing here." Bad faith once again. This video is completely disingenuous and is clearly attempting to skew peoples opinions and nothing more. This isn't an informative piece. It's just a typical hit piece. At least the critics have the gull to share their voice for us to judge. You could learn something from them. Almost like your spewing slop or something. Cut the slander. Feel free to delete my comment if you are unfair and detriment to critical spaces.

So which one were you? I tackled his arguments head on, you know it. I didn't say she "ruined the movie". I explained why studios want to hire her. It's got nothing to do with talent or politicking. On X he was still complaining about why she's "failing upwards". Why don't you do research, Mr. Expert and find out? Multiple sources claim that Waller-Bridge was responsible for writing scenes for all the female characters in the movie, and she practically wrote multiple versions of scenes and let higher ups decide on which to go with. _"In congruence with that notion it's fair to say we actually don't know if Waller played Tomb Raider as a child and it's a bit of an unfair presumption yet one that is founded on her persona or what we know of her persona; which is fair to assume as humans we all need a point a reference when approaching something and although prejudice isn't inherently fair it's inevitable (as well as necessity) and it's up to her to define her public image."_ Then tell Drinker that not me. He very easily and swiftly dismisses it. Anyone with an open mind would go. "Did she really play Tomb Raider before? I want to find out." Not "Bullshit! I get to decide whether you have or haven't!" It doesn't matter how she "defines her public image" when MelonieMactivists have already made up their minds about her and want her cancelled for being part of projects based on classic IPs, and that suddenly means for some reason that she's "evil". And then Mads Mikkelsen can work on Disney movies as well but somehow he's forgiven. It's not like she's some anonymous person. The "anti-woke" brigade just decides not to look for this information and paints their own picture of her. She's done interviews in the past talking about her childhood and upbringing and how she liked to climb and explore as a girl. I don't see why she would want to make her own personal life up. This isn't my first PWB video believe it or not. I know all these KZreadrs have an agenda. They do not care about integrity or finding the truth. They also do not have their own thoughts or opinions, they regurgitate them from Melonie Mac or the Quartering. Because they want their own channels to be successful and they know they can't be successful if they don't constantly feign outrage and find boogeymen to blame for "wokeness". Ryan Kinel, Nerdrotic, Knights Watch, Heel Vs Babyface, Yellowflash, they all deem her guilty by default of being "woke" and any quote or source that otherwise could disprove that "doesn't exist". And no it's not. There's more than one possible reason for a TV show to get cancelled. The Critical Drinker claims to be an expert on movies, and he doesn't see the parallels between western gaming and western cinema today? There's a Crystal Dynamics documentary on KZread where they explained why they rebooted Tomb Raider. Because the old formula was failing and they wanted a story that could actually grab people. Classic Lara must not be what "everyone wanted" if the company ended up on the auction block to begin with. People lie, numbers don't. _"Did it ever occur to you that maybe he surmised in quite an ineloquent and brash manner was because perhaps it wasn't that important to begin with and he was just trying to finish up his statement ASAP seeing as it was detracting from his main point, and him being on a live show needs to find a means to do that while still seeming like he can articulate a sentence properly for his audience. You could also attempt to keep watching/listening to see whether or not his following sentences clear up any misconceptions via additional contextual information or not."_ Propagandists never need to "clear up" anything. The video is titled "Drinker's Chasers - Tomb Raider And The Phoebe Waller-Bridge Problem." But you want me to believe he doesn't think she isn't a "problem" to him? _"Also you do realize these people weren't born online critics right?

In this case though, Barbara Broccoli and Cary Fukunaga allowed Waller-Bridge to come up with her own character, and the same article where I got that headline from states that Paloma was a "last-minute addition". I can see that. De Armas' role was brief and doesn't affect the rest of the script.

@@backup368 I don't need to do research; I'm an expert remember? You didn't tackle his arguments; you were repeatedly engaging in straw-mans and other tools of bad faith. Saying otherwise is just a poor attempt to gaslight me and others; including yourself sadly. Stop the cap. Just because every opposition to your less than divine opinion hasn't engaged in the same reading material doesn't mean they haven't done *any* research. It just means that they *a)* happen not to have fallen into the same -cesspit- type of _journalism_ that you may frequent/have found (it's as simple as an alternative choice of words during a google search) *b)* don't engage in media that is of an alternative bias or *c)* literally any other rationally conceivable reason Sure *b)* is indicative of a greater issue: that being people are becoming more and more unwilling to engage in proper discourse due to the cynicism and burnout that comes with constantly being faced with an obnoxious and stubborn opposition that is only interested in being right instead of being curious and sharing a desire to uncover objective truth (which cruelly enough is cyclical and only causes oneself to become a reflection of their opposition); but let's not kid ourselves into believing that this is addressing that. This is all unadulterated trivial slop. None of this matters. I don't read the same shit because I simply don't care. I don't care about eating whatever shit the rich and famous have to serve to us. I don't give 2 shits what their publicity firm tells them to tell us. I don't care to hear whatever _safe & mild_ swill about whatever nonsensical bs they have to tell their fans. I don't care what studios tell it's audience (the only truth they spout is to their investors and even then they lie to ensure their stock don't plummet). I only care about the stuff that ends up getting shown to the general audience - you know, the product. I care that it's the best it can be and is free from studio intervention. Free from unnecessary politics that only serve to check off their mandated diversity quota. I care that when all this waffling is said and done the end all be all product is good. I'm not Drinker and therefore I don't share all his views and opinions, but the principle thing we agree on is that point. All these press releases, interviews, publications, and etcetera don't mean shit when the product is still ass. None of it fucking matters and is absolutely wild to be using that as the foundation of a hit piece. If you want to bring up her writing credits and what by all means (he even does it himself which you don't even credit him for doing; because of course you only care to talk shit), but she hasn't been active enough for it to be a reliable metric of her prowess. There just doesn't exist enough substance of her being in completely large independent creative positions *wherein we the viewer aren't relying on studio sources to substantiate the claims.* We can't confidently state "she's shit" or "she's good." Fundamentally that's is what Drinker is getting at. I don't give a shit personally and I just want good media. Big promises, but all talk. I want action not words. I will judge not by what they stated in a press release (unless they fucking lied lol) but by the consequences of their actions and product/output. If TR releases and it's shit - then there is a clear figure head that can identified as being the problem. And then all of a sudden the past threads, assumptions, and connections make sense. If not than yippee she isn't a detriment and all that other stuff can be touted as false (unless it's a fluke). Drinker isn't saying outright she is despite what you are falsely asserting he is. He just isn't. Him believing she is lying about knowing TR - to the extent she illustrates - is based on speculation which he is quite certain about (I feel like I'm repeating myself here). Speculation that's founded on what he knows about her. I think it's fair to say he could be more open mind (that's just not as fun), but frankly nobody wants to exist in a state of uncertainty about things to that extent (he needs a definitive frame of reference when being skeptical about her chops); we all desire to know things or at least assume to know things with a paramount certainty because we all inherently fear the unknown. You definitely can attest to this as you are repeatedly asserting false sentiments about drinker based on the information you possess (and how you interpret it) - no matter how subjective it may be. His views are clearly not set: hence why we can see him being not too confident about certain points as well as asking questions regarding her. His entire life (as well as mine) don't revolve around these people and therefore aren't spent reading every piece of placating dogshit that get's published about them. We all have better shit to think about and discuss hence the quick judgements. Sad truth in regards to the potential damage it may do, but fuck it; these bastards (studios/corporations responsible for allowing people speed run the industry not based on merit) are shitting in my fucking cereal. I myself don't give a shit about her or anyone else discussed in your tirade; hell I don't think you named a single person I did know because of what a waste of my time and brain capacity it would be to know, care, and follow said persons. Shit ain't worth it. To say that there's no way she is in the position she is due to social politics is just sheer ignorance and naïvety. It's a damn fact that the modern political climate is vehemently present in every nook and cranny in that industry. So much safe product is produced and pumped out for modern audiences to gorge themselves and lose grey matter over. Akin to a lobotomy frankly. The fact that so many have stopped and question how tf she got so far up the ladder so quick is completely fair. And the resulting conclusions even more so. It's rational thought based on an objective observation of that industry. Does it mean we're right? No. But it don't mean we're wrong either. It's more probable that we are right than not. And so we operate under the axiom that we are because we need a frame of reference in order to continue further speculation. It is, however, evident that her name is appearing *too* much due to people wanting to demonize her despite there not being a clearly discernable reason - which is exactly what drinker is trying to argue/discuss. Sheer speculation is of course what comes out of his collogues (what the fuck else can they go off of; reading tweets serves only to delete braincells and they are clearly pissed and not being very level headed). You are right in asserting they have an agenda/bias. They are angry, and why shouldn't they be? Every thing they love is slowly being defiled as they become older. And so they lash out unfortunately. But we aren't discussing them so I don't understand why bother mentioning them tbh. Despite all that thought, drinker is remaining open minded. But you refuse to acknowledge that because it's not to the exact extent you want it to be. He iterates it in his own way - regardless if it's how you expect it to be or not. Getting ruffled over a dramatic reaction is absurd; literally one moment in the video. I'm not trying to discredit her works but merely ask that everyone acknowledge the obvious truth. If you can't even do that then there's really nothing to discuss because fundamentally we exist in 2 different worlds. Our arguments won't go anywhere because we can't even agree that water is wet.

And while I'm sure SE interfered: I'm quite confident that SE order the reboot to begin with (seeing as they had just purchased Eidos and lord knows corporations love milking their fucking IP's). Taking a fresh approach to an already exhausted IP is a common tactic to create anticipation and create interest in a newer audience. It also allows complete artistic and gameplay overhauls to be easily digested for series faithful's. Also the games were developed alongside Eidos-Montréal; among others. So it's not like they did the whole thing themselves + we're responsible for it being redone + aren't just spouting safety talk for the purposes of validating the purpose of a reboot to series faithful's who want more of the same.

I mean holy that's a whole lot of conjecture. And yet still somehow irrelevant to the main point. Which again I reiterate: the whole reason he brought the scene up is to discuss it's merits so as to quantify Waller's writing chops. That's it. The reason: to further the conversation if Waller actually is talented or not and therefore does or does not deserve the meteoric rise in the ladder.

Sad but real. Also, what do you call content like this lmao?"_ It's a summary lmao? _"Don't know who tf those 2 people are. Sweet Baby Inc. was legit as evident by the pushback and consequences and fallout. The individuals involved had clear paper trails of their agendas. Everything they touched had correlating patterns. Undisputedly so."_ Except there is no need for their services, as these developers already have writing teams. Nascar crews aren't going to hire grannies to drive their cars. That's what this sounds like and if these developers aren't going to meet Yellowflash's demands, why would they meet Kim Belair's? _"They won't talk about the reboot trilogy (in the exceptional amount of detail you insist) because they are film literacy critics - simple as. The game is not the end all be all of their content. Also they are allowed to not like things that are good lmao (the seconds game's story was shit though; that's my opinion)."_ That's generalizing. There has to be one out there that's familiar with the latest 3 mainline Tomb Raider games. _"I mean that's just not true. I personally don't think he needs to prove to either of us that he knows of her most recent appearance, but alright."_ So "she hasn't done anything"? Is any film credit of hers aside from Fleabag and Indiana Jones just a figment of my imagination? _"This isn't even a counter point lmao."_ Uh yes it is. She has prior experience developing characters who are spies. _"But was the scene good?"_ Doesn't matter if the scene was good. Tomb Raider Guru Critical Drinker outta know which characters are Lara ripoffs. _"Why are you so fixated on Lara = Paloma. You are extrapolating that Drinker must know that the character is based on Lara (despite admitting yourself it isn't hard evidence so why continue trying to argue I'm baffled) because a fucking fan account made a direct comparison and the fact that he doesn't find said obscure fan account post (I ain't gonna sugar coat it chief; we ain't scouring fan accounts on shitter.com - that's just not happening lmao) means that he can't research or he's lying about knowing TR/lying about not seeing the connection. I mean holy that's a whole lot of conjecture. And yet still somehow irrelevant to the main point."_ So basically Waller-Bridge is unfit to write a Tomb Raider show because she wrote lines that Lara Croft would say. Lara Croft wore that before. Lara Croft has had those feelings about men before. Yet Drinker still assumes she hasn't played a Tomb Raider game. As I said, Paloma isn't an essential character. She appears and disappears in 10 minutes. Whatever Waller-Bridge wrote, couldn't affect the rest of the script, so basically she was allowed to write a James Bond-Lara Croft fanfic. If Drinker's intention is to critique her writing, this is far from the best example he could choose from since Waller-Bridge had two shows produced entirely by her.

Showed proof against this claim. The Classic Tomb Raider was super successful and everyone played it. Showed proof against this claim. Waller-Bridge hasn't done anything since Fleabag.

Any influencer that says they're unbiased is lying right in your face. Because she's said "politics are boring" and it never gets mentioned anywhere while they instead obsess over what she said about Lara's breasts from the same Vanity Fair source. _"I don't read the same shit because I simply don't care.

I don't care what studios tell it's audience (the only truth they spout is to their investors and even then they lie to ensure their stock don't plummet)."_ Okay, you're free to think that. But what is _she_ guilty of? If you're in the business of presenting the news, you need to be honest. That's why Tucker went to Russia and interviewed Putin. He wanted to hear right from the source of what's going on with the "war" instead of having little to no knowledge. Drinker would not be willing to interview a figure like her because his mission isn't to look for the answers to his questions. He doesn't want answers, only problems, because he decided long ago that he wants problems to pay his bills. _"I only care about the stuff that ends up getting shown to the general audience - you know, the product. I care that it's the best it can be and is free from studio intervention. Free from unnecessary politics that only serve to check off their mandated diversity quota.

But there's no proof she's part of this problem. So forgive me with this ludicrous belief that I have that you need to be guilty of something before you can be punished for it. _"I'm not Drinker and therefore I don't share all his views and opinions, but the principle thing we agree on is that point. All these press releases, interviews, publications, and etcetera don't mean shit when the product is still ass. None of it fucking matters and is absolutely wild to be using that as the foundation of a hit piece.

You're just fabricating now. Again, there are interviews you can find where she talks about her background. It wouldn't hurt you to read them. How long does she have to be writing for? _"There just doesn't exist enough substance of her being in completely large independent creative positions wherein we the viewer aren't relying on studio sources to substantiate the claims.

And then all of a sudden the past threads, assumptions, and connections make sense. If not than yippee she isn't a detriment and all that other stuff can be touted as false (unless it's a fluke)."_ As I said before, a show can flop for many reasons. A show can run out of ideas, the show doesn't make sense or insult the viewer's intelligence, or the audience can just lose interest over time. Waller-Bridge is not the only show runner working on the project, as I stated. I feel like a show like Tomb Raider will eventually run out of ideas to keep viewers interested. _"Drinker isn't saying outright she is despite what you are falsely asserting he is. He just isn't. Him believing she is lying about knowing TR - to the extent she illustrates - is based on speculation which he is quite certain about (I feel like I'm repeating myself here). Speculation that's founded on what he knows about her. I think it's fair to say he could be more open mind (that's just not as fun), but frankly nobody wants to exist in a state of uncertainty about things to that extent (he needs a definitive frame of reference when being skeptical about her chops); we all desire to know things or at least assume to know things with a paramount certainty because we all inherently fear the unknown."_ Whatever he does know about her isn't much. And once again, it's not like using Google is like learning Calculus. _"You definitely can attest to this as you are repeatedly asserting false sentiments about drinker based on the information you possess (and how you interpret it) - no matter how subjective it may be. His views are clearly not set: hence why we can see him being not too confident about certain points as well as asking questions regarding her. His entire life (as well as mine) don't revolve around these people and therefore aren't spent reading every piece of placating dogshit that get's published about them. We all have better shit to think about and discuss hence the quick judgements. Sad truth in regards to the potential damage it may do, but fuck it; these bastards (studios/corporations responsible for allowing people speed run the industry not based on merit) are shitting in my fucking cereal."_ All these MelonieMactivists have made up their minds and deem her a criminal without the proof. Drinker isn't interested in looking for solutions or else he would have found them right in front of his nose, and all the guests he had with him clearly do not like her either, so they wouldn't give him an unbiased or neutral explanation about why she was hired. Again, I know about these people. They are all tribalists who share the same views and agree with one another, or else they get kicked out. He preaches to the choir and they just clap along. _"I myself don't give a shit about her or anyone else discussed in your tirade; hell I don't think you named a single person I did know because of what a waste of my time and brain capacity it would be to know, care, and follow said persons. Shit ain't worth it."_ Clearly you care this much to defend one of them, so I have to think you know at least the ones that are part of his podcasts. _"To say that there's no way she is in the position she is due to social politics is just sheer ignorance and naïvety. It's a damn fact that the modern political climate is vehemently present in every nook and cranny in that industry. So much safe product is produced and pumped out for modern audiences to gorge themselves and lose grey matter over. Akin to a lobotomy frankly."_ Again, you already said this and how does that involve Fleabag? She would agree with this 100%, dude. There are many others including directors and A-list actors that openly oppose it as well.

Crystal Dynamics wanted to tell a different story that greatly contrasted with the cel-shaded Tomb Raider world. They replaced the Saturday morning aesthetic with a realistic one, they replaced fantasy elements with grounded elements, and they replaced an omnipotent protagonist to one that has to progress over the course of the game. With all this in mind, the reboot trilogy story wasn't meant for Classic Lara. It was an origin story where Lara is younger, had to deal with loss and struggle, and has so much to learn about the family tradition. You probably heard influencers inject politics into Tomb Raider by telling you this "reboot" is "woke", all because it's not the Lara they want (even though Melonie Mac cosplayed as the reboot Lara on many occasions in the past). Anyone with the reboot trilogy of games can easily just switch Lara to one of her classic skins and see how that wouldn't work.

@@backup368 Videogames are not movies. It's a fairly recent occurrence in the history of videogames (outside RPGs) that story and characterization have become such a big focus of videogames, often to the detriment of game play. I think the success of indie and old school gaming (and many AAA disappointments) has shown many people want to play videogames (like old school Tomb Raider) where gameplay (and not story/character development) is a main focus of the game. In the case of Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics milked the old school Tomb Raider game engine far longer than they should have, instead of revamping it. By the time they finally revamped the game engine, many people gave up on the franchise and moved on.

@@jamesdrake3651 For decades, western developers have been trying to make their own fantasy adventures with magic and hot babes a-plenty, and they were not making money. When GTA 4 and 5 were taking the industry by storm, that's when they realized they have to appeal to consumers that otherwise wouldn't play games. Maybe instead they like stories, they like characters, they like faraway environments, they like movies, such as adventure, horror, crime, or sci-fi films. They're not going to sell 60 million copies, but they know Rockstar does it time and time again, so that's what they want to aim for as well. It's like pro wrestling. Like the gameplay in video games you covet, pro wrestling has provided in-ring action and it's been around for decades and decades, but didn't get popular until Vince McMahon decided to incorporate other elements into his product that no other promoter thought of at the time, like superhero-like characters, comedy, political incorrectness, over-the-top storylines, etc.

30 seconds into your computer generated voice and already I can tell you don’t actually understand anything about him. He complains about male characters masculinity being sacrificed in favor of “perfect/do no wrong” female characters, especially the ones who were needlessly gender-swapped. He’s not against “badass women” generally. Some of his favourite movies and television involve female characters (Sarah Connor, Trinity, Ellen Ripley, Buffy, etc.). The difference is the writing in those movies and shows are good, don’t focus on men being worthless and/or stupid in order to prop the women up, and the women themselves aren’t perfect in every way; they have flaws, the have deficiencies that they need to overcome, they have interesting and well-written and relatable character arcs to go through. Rey from the Star Wars sequels, for example, does not. And the writing was fucking embarrassing. That’s the difference. If you were smart you’d have definitely tried a bit harder to understand that before making a 15-minute video essentially showcasing how little you researched him.

I can’t figure out what’s going on with this video. Was it made by Phoebe Waller Bridge’s PR agency? By the producers of the upcoming tomb raider series to try to defuse a vocal skeptic?

I mean, I didn't have a problem with the portrayal of Dark in the first place, my issue was the once again portraying a mockup of gameplay as such, that E3 and other such game events are famous for...that gameplay in the trailer clearly wasn't actual gameplay. It was a CGI mockup of what gameplay COULD look like, aside from the far too fluid movement and use of individual arms, etc, that give it away quite plainly that it's NOT gameplay. How would that actual movement and action work on a controller? Go watch the trailer again and really think about how you'd do the things portrayed on a Xbox controller. It would be hard if not impossible.
Looks like gameplay to me. There isn't even any motion blur.

I love how you literally are cherry picking from the exact clip I posted/you used to skew your argument and conveniently didn't discuss what he says during your cut away's where he validly critiques her credits but then goes one to say "I don't think she ruined that movie" or: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYajurKkfNmppqw.html "she's been touted as like this big deal in Hollywood and people keep trying to make her into this big thing but like she hasn't really actually done anything since Fleabag essentially and that was eight years ago I think that premiered so so it's been a long time uh but yet *_somehow she's got she's acquired this reputation as just like the fucking uh franchise killer who just comes in and destroys everything before her_* " (he goes on to insinuate that this may change to being a legitimate claim depending on how Tomb Raider ends up). *Visible confusion on Drinker's face* I guess were just supposed to believe that the entirety of her character's writing comes from Waller because the actress says so? I don't intend to be calling people liars on the basis of nothing but a healthy amount of skepticism is needed in the internet. In congruence with that notion it's fair to say we actually don't know if Waller played Tomb Raider as a child and it's a bit of an unfair presumption yet one that is founded on her persona or what we know of her persona; which is fair to assume as humans we all need a point a reference when approaching something and although prejudice isn't inherently fair it's inevitable (as well as necessity) and it's up to her to define her public image. She very much comes off as someone who wouldn't play or know anything about it due to the persona she embodies. While it's not fair to say we know for a fact that she has not experienced it as a child it's also our right to make a basic judgement and assume that this truth is more plausible/probable than the alternative based on the information she has given us. Just as we can't say for certain that we know, you also cannot say for a fact the she isn't lying about that for publicity or that Ana isn't lying (doing what her PR rep's tell her to do - you know, like most hollywood/rich people do) about her character's writing credit. Neither us, the audience, nor you can corroborate anything and it's all purely speculation based on our own individual analysis. To Say anyone's deduction is more true that the others is bad faith and narcissistic. We're all speculating based on our subjective views and sharing our conclusions in order to predict the outcome of certain things - and in this case it's quality of her show. Drinker and other rational individuals aren't going around with a smear campaign attempting to ensure the downfall of the the show - no matter how to try to skew your perspective it's just _factually_ not true. If the show bombs it's of its own merit and just goes to show that maybe there's truth to what they are saying and the critics actually do know what they are talking about and maybe the basis of their speculation is based on objective evidence. In regards to modern gaming philosophy: bro if you don't understand what he's trying to say then that's that. You just don't understand. Simple as. Leave it at that and stop trying to jimmy in an argument where none lie. It's essentially a straw-man seeing as you have no idea what your arguing against to begin with. You can justly say that he should elaborate his point for clarification but beyond that anything else you say is just you attempting to make your ground appear more stable than his which is just bad faith. Did it ever occur to you that maybe he surmised in quite an ineloquent and brash manner was because perhaps it wasn't that important to begin with and he was just trying to finish up his statement ASAP seeing as it was detracting from his main point, and him being on a live show needs to find a means to do that while still seeming like he can articulate a sentence properly for his audience. You could also attempt to keep watching/listening to see whether or not his following sentences clear up any misconceptions via additional contextual information or not. Also you do realize these people weren't born online critics right? Like, they were all kids at some point playing video-games among the rest of the masses and didn't have an audience or following. You really think a nobody is going to tell crystal dynamics what they should do to improve their games and the company respond by actually listening and engaging in critique in order to make a better user experience/story? Fuck it - even with their current influence they probably still couldn't change anything in such a direct and visible manner (unless you mean by rage baiting and sending mobs to do ones bidding which is an unethical use of one's platform). On top that: you have to assume that the developer is some how able to circumvent their own fucking publisher (which if you believe that you don't know shit about the industry) in order to do so. Delusional - Major Kappa Chungus. And then you start taking his clearly proverbial/figurative/analogous comments about her being a nuclear deterrent (clearly with a comedic inflection as well btw) seriously as though he's afraid of a woke holocaust from her existence? Are we even talking about the same video? He's using said analogy (COMEDIACLLY) to show that the "Anti-woke mob" is being hysterical about her presence in the industry. THOSE AREN'T EVEN HIS THOUGHTS ABOUT HER. YOU ARE LITERALLY LYING BY IMPLYING OTHERWISE. The man is literally saying that people are being hysterical about her and he is engaging in discourse with his colleagues in order to understand the opposing opinion. He actively recognized her show's accomplishments. He identifies that suspicious pattern in her rise to dominating presence in the industry and is adamant about uncovering why that tis the case is speculating the different reasons as to why that may be. In regards to your final point about him referring back to the SCENE (important to note he isn't talking about the wardrobe - which you seem to be focussing on) and not drawing the same conclusion you drew: It's fair for you to say it seems as though Waller might know about TR because that outfit is congruent. Completely fair to make that assumption/assertion. You still don't know if that's true but a fair guess as any. Regardless of the fact that she literally could've googled something in the realm of "sexy spy dress" - and that could've come up or a myriad of other explanations it's still fair. However, I doubt you've even bothered attempting to consider that just because she writes the character (to what degree neither of us know): SHE ISN'T EVEN THE ONE WHO GET'S TO DECIDE THE WARDROBE. THAT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS RESPOSIBLITLY. YOU ARE MAKING JUST AS MANY ASSUMPTYIONS AS THE INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE ATTMEPTING TO VILLIFY FOR DOING THE SAME THING. YOU ARE BEING A HYPOCRITE. He is mentioning the scene in order to highlight her talent in writing a compelling/engaging/entertaining sequence. You are straw-maning by ignoring the quality of sequence and instead focusing on her fucking clothes (NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER WARDROBE. THAT ISN'T SOMETHING MADE FINAL BY A WRITER [she not even the "key" writer ffs; that sequence could've even been co-written for all we know and therefore influenced by another individual - alas that's neither here nor there]) and whether or not she is a bachelorette - which he isn't even regarding as being negative or wrong. You are completely fixated on whatever nonsense you have conjured up and not even in the least bit on what he his discussing or arguing. That is why you "don't get what [he's] arguing here." Bad faith once again. This video is completely disingenuous and is clearly attempting to skew peoples opinions and nothing more. This isn't an informative piece. It's just a typical hit piece. At least the critics have the gull to share their voice for us to judge. You could learn something from them. Almost like your spewing slop or something. Cut the slander.

Multiple sources claim that Waller-Bridge was responsible for writing scenes for all the female characters in the movie, and she practically wrote multiple versions of scenes and let higher ups decide on which to go with. _"In congruence with that notion it's fair to say we actually don't know if Waller played Tomb Raider as a child and it's a bit of an unfair presumption yet one that is founded on her persona or what we know of her persona; which is fair to assume as humans we all need a point a reference when approaching something and although prejudice isn't inherently fair it's inevitable (as well as necessity) and it's up to her to define her public image."_ Then tell Drinker that not me. He very easily and swiftly dismisses it. Anyone with an open mind would go. "Did she really play Tomb Raider before? I want to find out." Not "Bullshit! I get to decide whether you have or haven't!" It doesn't matter how she "defines her public image" when MelonieMactivists have already made up their minds about her and want her cancelled for being part of projects based on classic IPs, and that suddenly means for some reason that she's "evil". And then Mads Mikkelsen can work on Disney movies as well but somehow he's forgiven. It's not like she's some anonymous person. The "anti-woke" brigade just decides not to look for this information and paints their own picture of her. She's done interviews in the past talking about her childhood and upbringing and how she liked to climb and explore as a girl. I don't see why she would want to make her own personal life up. This isn't my first PWB video believe it or not. I know all these KZreadrs have an agenda. They do not care about integrity or finding the truth. They also do not have their own thoughts or opinions, they regurgitate them from Melonie Mac or the Quartering. Because they want their own channels to be successful and they know they can't be successful if they don't constantly feign outrage and find boogeymen to blame for "wokeness". Ryan Kinel, Nerdrotic, Knights Watch, Heel Vs Babyface, Yellowflash, they all deem her guilty by default of being "woke" and any quote or source that otherwise could disprove that "doesn't exist". And no it's not. There's more than one possible reason for a TV show to get cancelled. The Critical Drinker claims to be an expert on movies, and he doesn't see the parallels between western gaming and western cinema today? There's a Crystal Dynamics documentary on KZread where they explained why they rebooted Tomb Raider. Because the old formula was failing and they wanted a story that could actually grab people. Classic Lara must not be what "everyone wanted" if the company ended up on the auction block to begin with. People lie, numbers don't. _"Did it ever occur to you that maybe he surmised in quite an ineloquent and brash manner was because perhaps it wasn't that important to begin with and he was just trying to finish up his statement ASAP seeing as it was detracting from his main point, and him being on a live show needs to find a means to do that while still seeming like he can articulate a sentence properly for his audience. You could also attempt to keep watching/listening to see whether or not his following sentences clear up any misconceptions via additional contextual information or not."_ Propagandists never need to "clear up" anything. The video is titled "Drinker's Chasers - Tomb Raider And The Phoebe Waller-Bridge Problem." But you want me to believe he doesn't think she isn't a "problem" to him? _"Also you do realize these people weren't born online critics right? Like, they were all kids at some point playing video-games among the rest of the masses and didn't have an audience or following. You really think a nobody is going to tell crystal dynamics what they should do to improve their games and the company respond by actually listening and engaging in critique in order to make a better user experience/story? Fuck it - even with their current influence they probably still couldn't change anything in such a direct and visible manner (unless you mean by rage baiting and sending mobs to do ones bidding which is an unethical use of one's platform). "_ They think Sweet Baby Inc., a group of essentially nobodies, is responsible for the direction of AAA games today. If they really believed that then you'd think it would be easy for them to start their own "consulting group". It's not like Grummz and Melonie Mac weren't part of the industry prior to being KZreadrs. Better yet, Drinker could simply have a guest filmmaker on his podcast, or any of these other influencers and talk about Tomb Raider's reboot trilogy. You know why they won't do that? Because they wouldn't like what he would say. _"The man is literally saying that people are being hysterical about her and he is engaging in discourse with his colleagues in order to understand the opposing opinion. He actively recognized her show's accomplishments. He identifies that suspicious pattern in her rise to dominating presence in the industry and is adamant about uncovering why that tis the case is speculating the different reasons as to why that may be."_ He barely let anyone else speak, he brought up only one quote from her which he instantly disregarded. He did no research. He wasn't even aware of her latest movie. _"It's fair for you to say it seems as though Waller might know about TR because that outfit is congruent. Completely fair to make that assumption/assertion. You still don't know if that's true but a fair guess as any. Regardless of the fact that she literally could've googled something in the realm of "sexy spy dress" - and that could've come up or a myriad of other explanations it's still fair. "_ No, because little are you aware that she's written and produced a spy show before that. Again, why am I the only one that bothers to do research? _"However, I doubt you've even bothered attempting to consider that just because she writes the character (to what degree neither of us know): SHE ISN'T EVEN THE ONE WHO GET'S TO DECIDE THE WARDROBE. THAT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS RESPOSIBLITLY. YOU ARE MAKING JUST AS MANY ASSUMPTYIONS AS THE INDIVIDUALS YOU ARE ATTMEPTING TO VILLIFY FOR DOING THE SAME THING. YOU ARE BEING A HYPOCRITE."_ I have said time and time again that a writer doesn't direct the entire movie. In this case though, Barbara Broccoli and Cary Fukunaga allowed Waller-Bridge to come up with her own character, and the same article where I got that headline from states that Paloma was a "last-minute addition". I can see that. De Armas' role was brief and doesn't affect the rest of the script. "He is mentioning the scene in order to highlight her talent in writing a compelling/engaging/entertaining sequence. You are straw-maning by ignoring the quality of sequence and instead focusing on her fucking clothes (NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER WARDROBE. THAT ISN'T SOMETHING MADE FINAL BY A WRITER [she not even the "key" writer ffs; that sequence could've even been co-written for all we know and therefore influenced by another individual - alas that's neither here nor there]) and whether or not she is a bachelorette - which he isn't even regarding as being negative or wrong." There was more her character had in common with Lara Croft than just her wardrobe. You didn't pay attention. _"Feel free to delete my comment if you are unfair and detriment to critical spaces."_ Who do you think I am? Melonie Mac?
@@backup368 I don't need to do research; I'm an expert remember? You didn't tackle his arguments; you were repeatedly engaging in straw-mans and other tools of bad faith. Saying otherwise is just a poor attempt to gaslight me and others; including yourself sadly. Stop the cap. Just because every opposition to your less than divine opinion hasn't engaged in the same reading material doesn't mean they haven't done *any* research. It just means that they *a)* happen not to have fallen into the same -cesspit- type of _journalism_ that you may frequent/have found (it's as simple as an alternative choice of words during a google search) *b)* don't engage in media that is of an alternative bias or *c)* literally any other rationally conceivable reason Sure *b)* is indicative of a greater issue: that being people are becoming more and more unwilling to engage in proper discourse due to the cynicism and burnout that comes with constantly being faced with an obnoxious and stubborn opposition that is only interested in being right instead of being curious and sharing a desire to uncover objective truth (which cruelly enough is cyclical and only causes oneself to become a reflection of their opposition); but let's not kid ourselves into believing that this is addressing that. This is all unadulterated trivial slop. None of this matters. I don't read the same shit because I simply don't care. I don't care about eating whatever shit the rich and famous have to serve to us. I don't give 2 shits what their publicity firm tells them to tell us. I don't care to hear whatever _safe & mild_ swill about whatever nonsensical bs they have to tell their fans. I don't care what studios tell it's audience (the only truth they spout is to their investors and even then they lie to ensure their stock don't plummet). I only care about the stuff that ends up getting shown to the general audience - you know, the product. I care that it's the best it can be and is free from studio intervention. Free from unnecessary politics that only serve to check off their mandated diversity quota. I care that when all this waffling is said and done the end all be all product is good. I'm not Drinker and therefore I don't share all his views and opinions, but the principle thing we agree on is that point. All these press releases, interviews, publications, and etcetera don't mean shit when the product is still ass. None of it fucking matters and is absolutely wild to be using that as the foundation of a hit piece. If you want to bring up her writing credits and what by all means (he even does it himself which you don't even credit him for doing; because of course you only care to talk shit), but she hasn't been active enough for it to be a reliable metric of her prowess. There just doesn't exist enough substance of her being in completely large independent creative positions *wherein we the viewer aren't relying on studio sources to substantiate the claims.* We can't confidently state "she's shit" or "she's good." Fundamentally that's is what Drinker is getting at. I don't give a shit personally and I just want good media. Big promises, but all talk. I want action not words. I will judge not by what they stated in a press release (unless they fucking lied lol) but by the consequences of their actions and product/output. If TR releases and it's shit - then there is a clear figure head that can identified as being the problem. And then all of a sudden the past threads, assumptions, and connections make sense. If not than yippee she isn't a detriment and all that other stuff can be touted as false (unless it's a fluke). Drinker isn't saying outright she is despite what you are falsely asserting he is. He just isn't. Him believing she is lying about knowing TR - to the extent she illustrates - is based on speculation which he is quite certain about (I feel like I'm repeating myself here). Speculation that's founded on what he knows about her. I think it's fair to say he could be more open mind (that's just not as fun), but frankly nobody wants to exist in a state of uncertainty about things to that extent (he needs a definitive frame of reference when being skeptical about her chops); we all desire to know things or at least assume to know things with a paramount certainty because we all inherently fear the unknown. You definitely can attest to this as you are repeatedly asserting false sentiments about drinker based on the information you possess (and how you interpret it) - no matter how subjective it may be. His views are clearly not set: hence why we can see him being not too confident about certain points as well as asking questions regarding her. His entire life (as well as mine) don't revolve around these people and therefore aren't spent reading every piece of placating dogshit that get's published about them. We all have better shit to think about and discuss hence the quick judgements. Sad truth in regards to the potential damage it may do, but fuck it; these bastards (studios/corporations responsible for allowing people speed run the industry not based on merit) are shitting in my fucking cereal. I myself don't give a shit about her or anyone else discussed in your tirade; hell I don't think you named a single person I did know because of what a waste of my time and brain capacity it would be to know, care, and follow said persons. Shit ain't worth it. To say that there's no way she is in the position she is due to social politics is just sheer ignorance and naïvety. It's a damn fact that the modern political climate is vehemently present in every nook and cranny in that industry. So much safe product is produced and pumped out for modern audiences to gorge themselves and lose grey matter over. Akin to a lobotomy frankly. The fact that so many have stopped and question how tf she got so far up the ladder so quick is completely fair. And the resulting conclusions even more so. It's rational thought based on an objective observation of that industry. Does it mean we're right? No. But it don't mean we're wrong either. It's more probable that we are right than not. And so we operate under the axiom that we are because we need a frame of reference in order to continue further speculation. It is, however, evident that her name is appearing *too* much due to people wanting to demonize her despite there not being a clearly discernable reason - which is exactly what drinker is trying to argue/discuss. Sheer speculation is of course what comes out of his collogues (what the fuck else can they go off of; reading tweets serves only to delete braincells and they are clearly pissed and not being very level headed). You are right in asserting they have an agenda/bias. They are angry, and why shouldn't they be? Every thing they love is slowly being defiled as they become older. And so they lash out unfortunately. But we aren't discussing them so I don't understand why bother mentioning them tbh. Despite all that thought, drinker is remaining open minded. But you refuse to acknowledge that because it's not to the exact extent you want it to be. He iterates it in his own way - regardless if it's how you expect it to be or not. Getting ruffled over a dramatic reaction is absurd; literally one moment in the video. I'm not trying to discredit her works but merely ask that everyone acknowledge the obvious truth. If you can't even do that then there's really nothing to discuss because fundamentally we exist in 2 different worlds. Our arguments won't go anywhere because we can't even agree that water is wet.

And while I'm sure SE interfered: I'm quite confident that SE order the reboot to begin with (seeing as they had just purchased Eidos and lord knows corporations love milking their fucking IP's). Taking a fresh approach to an already exhausted IP is a common tactic to create anticipation and create interest in a newer audience. It also allows complete artistic and gameplay overhauls to be easily digested for series faithful's. Also the games were developed alongside Eidos-Montréal; among others.

Lara Croft has had those feelings about men before. Yet Drinker still assumes she hasn't played a Tomb Raider game. As I said, Paloma isn't an essential character. She appears and disappears in 10 minutes. Whatever Waller-Bridge wrote, couldn't affect the rest of the script, so basically she was allowed to write a James Bond-Lara Croft fanfic. If Drinker's intention is to critique her writing, this is far from the best example he could choose from since Waller-Bridge had two shows produced entirely by her.

VIEWERS: I've realised too late that this is a comment trap. By responding you'll get more rubbish in reply in order to keep comments incoming. Do not engage. All arguments presented here are completely missing the point and weaker than the straw-iest of men. It's not the technology of games allowing them to be presented like a film that he doesn't like - it's the writing of that 'film'. FML this is clueless trash that has no understanding.
Crystal Dynamics wanted to tell a different story that greatly contrasted with the cel-shaded Tomb Raider world. They replaced the Saturday morning aesthetic with a realistic one, they replaced fantasy elements with grounded elements, and they replaced an omnipotent protagonist to one that has to progress over the course of the game. With all this in mind, the reboot trilogy story wasn't meant for Classic Lara. It was an origin story where Lara is younger, had to deal with loss and struggle, and has so much to learn about the family tradition. You probably heard influencers inject politics into Tomb Raider by telling you this "reboot" is "woke", all because it's not the Lara they want (even though Melonie Mac cosplayed as the reboot Lara on many occasions in the past). Anyone with the reboot trilogy of games can easily just switch Lara to one of her classic skins and see how that wouldn't work.
@@backup368 What's that got to do with wanting a good Tomb Raider game like Legend? Something with bags of charm and really fun gameplay.
@@Drunkulayetagain-sw9io It was on many more platforms than the first Tomb Raider games and couldn't sell as many copies.
Nah, Drinker is actually speaking the facts. He's one of the few logical film critics on this platform.
Damn bruh, this isn't going down the way you expected. That music and voice is an instant nope.
Whether she's woke or not, you're completely insane if you think phoebe has any talent and will bring anything to the table.
Show me where I said this. I'll wait.
Are you actually comparing an old school video game depiction to a modern day movie? That's like expecting NES Mario to have the same kind of character development as Rocky Balboa. It's stupid.
To Critical Drinker, more character development is good when it comes to movies, but bad when it comes to video games. Doesn't make sense.
@@backup368 Videogames are not movies. It's a fairly recent occurrence in the history of videogames (outside RPGs) that story and characterization have become such a big focus of videogames, often to the detriment of game play. I think the success of indie and old school gaming (and many AAA disappointments) has shown many people want to play videogames (like old school Tomb Raider) where gameplay (and not story/character development) is a main focus of the game. In the case of Tomb Raider Crystal Dynamics milked the old school Tomb Raider game engine far longer than they should have, instead of revamping it. By the time they finally revamped the game engine, many people gave up on the franchise and moved on.
@@jamesdrake3651 For decades, western developers have been trying to make their own fantasy adventures with magic and hot babes a-plenty, and they were not making money. When GTA 4 and 5 were taking the industry by storm, that's when they realized they have to appeal to consumers that otherwise wouldn't play games. Maybe instead they like stories, they like characters, they like faraway environments, they like movies, such as adventure, horror, crime, or sci-fi films. They're not going to sell 60 million copies, but they know Rockstar does it time and time again, so that's what they want to aim for as well. It's like pro wrestling. Like the gameplay in video games you covet, pro wrestling has provided in-ring action and it's been around for decades and decades, but didn't get popular until Vince McMahon decided to incorporate other elements into his product that no other promoter thought of at the time, like superhero-like characters, comedy, political incorrectness, over-the-top storylines, etc.
Lol nice try Phoebe 👁️👁️
At least use a good AI voice.. there are many good AI voices. Homie choses to use "danny the robot" or some sh
Jesus, that music. Arrrrrgh! Who thought that was a good idea?!
It's a classic. 😎
Fucking loser - Tucker is on the side of reason not D.I.E., moron.
The side of reason would be to show integrity and not propaganda-fueled tribalism, so until Tucker no longer does that, then I consider him to be on my "side".
God damn this is some next level coping haha. Think I know why you used an AI voice, you ok Phoebe? 😂
Because of my disabilities?
30 seconds into your computer generated voice and already I can tell you don’t actually understand anything about him. He complains about male characters masculinity being sacrificed in favor of “perfect/do no wrong” female characters, especially the ones who were needlessly gender-swapped. He’s not against “badass women” generally. Some of his favourite movies and television involve female characters (Sarah Connor, Trinity, Ellen Ripley, Buffy, etc.). The difference is the writing in those movies and shows are good, don’t focus on men being worthless and/or stupid in order to prop the women up, and the women themselves aren’t perfect in every way; they have flaws, the have deficiencies that they need to overcome, they have interesting and well-written and relatable character arcs to go through. Rey from the Star Wars sequels, for example, does not. And the writing was fucking embarrassing. That’s the difference. If you were smart you’d have definitely tried a bit harder to understand that before making a 15-minute video essentially showcasing how little you researched him.
None of that matters because none of those standards of his apply to Lara Croft or Tomb Raider.
so you didn't see the last indiana jones? in tolkien words: Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin good forces have invented or made
I can’t figure out what’s going on with this video. Was it made by Phoebe Waller Bridge’s PR agency? By the producers of the upcoming tomb raider series to try to defuse a vocal skeptic? I watched several videos from critical drinker about this new series. The drinker’s skepticism is pretty mild (suggesting she’s not a fit for the character). It didn’t much focus on woke issues except to express the possibility that they might inject them.
He knows nothing about her, and cares to know nothing about her. Like all the other clapping seals inside the Melonie Mac echo chamber, he doesn't care about integrity, being unbiased, or having all the facts in front of him.
After you watch a couple of his videos and see that he's got a massive hate boner for Melonie Mac it makes sense that he rails instinctively against anyone who shares her opinions.
@@backup368 Well, he’s seen Phoebe Waller Bridge’s work. He has therefore seen her role choices We all have, right? What more do you need to know about an actor.
@@GiGo421 _"He has therefore seen her role choices"._ So if you were offered to star alongside Harrison Ford in a movie, you'd say "no"?
@@backup368 She took a lead role in what is arguably an action adventure. By all accounts she was incredibly unlikable. You can chalk up part of that to the writing, I suppose. But then think about someone who made an unlikable character charming through sheer charisma like Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man. She didn't do that. To me she comes off like a female Woody Allen by which I mean she comes off smart, neurotic, and self-obsessed. I wouldn't cast Steve Buscemi as the next terminator and I'd recommend that he not take the role if he asked me. He's a good actor and in certain roles is stellar.
I'm interested in the points you're making but I can't handle listening to this computer generated voice. I'm bailing on your video at the 5 minute mark. Sorry.
Anyone know the name of this and if it’s on spotify or not
Premier league brought me here 🎉congratulations Man city🎉 champions 2023/2024
The Japanese dub sounds like closing credits to a 1980s anime, eh.
The fact you compiled all your conspiracy theories on one video is so stupid
And yet somehow, in his point of view, we’re the villains for having different opinions than his.
@@nightskyblackx7422 true, also i heard he called a real life Japanese woman ugly and said it was a mistake
@@radiantwolf9724 I saw the tweet. Never understood why he considers her ugly when she doesn’t even look that bad. If anything, quite the opposite.
@@nightskyblackx7422 I know right
You gotta love Willie's Chewbacca shirt, eh.
Shit is insanely hard
