Why Modern Movies Suck - They Hate Men (Part 1) 

Can you imagine prime Newman, Redford, McQueen, Eastwood and Gibson existing in hollywood today. No I can't either because they'd never be given a single role, the millions of morons today would be offended by everything they represented. Chris Hemsworth and pals AKA the watered down versions of those fuckin legends will also go extinct one day because of how offended by masculinity "modern audience's" now are.

Back when I used to reddit, I made a post asking people what would they say if they had to convince someone to come here and be their kid? The catch was, whatever was omitted was sure to happen. Surprise surprise, no one had shit to say. It's crazy because there's this subreddit about the earth being a prison planet and even with that perspective people were still saying they'd have kids. It was remarkably unbelievable. I'm like "why would you bring people to prison on purpose?" Makes no sense. I understand not having come to that awareness yet, but once you do...how in tf can you justify cursing someone?? They'd say "it's better we have the kids so we can tell them the truth about this prison planet" and I'd say "so you're going to bring someone to prison just so you can tell them they're in prison? How about don't bring them to prison at all?" People kill me. Selfish desires apparently override sensibility; nothing new under the sun, I guess. '#[]

It's not that masculine women are bad is that a lot of masucline women take it overboard and be too argumentative, combative, nonagreeable. What man would want that? none! Most men a long day at work when I come to a nice warming loving wife not some argumentative woman.

@@prodyung829 If they want to write women like that, no problem, my problem is with the double standard of chatising men for certain characteristics and praising the same ones when it's on a woman. If being angry and agressive is bad on a man, the same should be aplied to women, at least make the effort to be consistent on your views.

Unless Mikhalia doing it and nice guys fawning on her.

Completely agree

ironically they can't write women either anymore.... they work way to hard to make them all dudes....

They just suck at writing anything but their signature on checks.

How else do you expect US to do the gr3atres3t, if we, at vanguard, state street and black rock and our overlord from the WEF/davos doesn't guide Disney, Netflix and HBO Max to the right way of things, like agenda 2o3o....y'all didn't even the shot, so we can't even do the Georgia Guildstones. what do you want US to do, dammit?

The stereotype plans into the moral high ground by them blocking any stereotypes of them while stereotypes us gives them the moral high ground advantage.

The weird thing is that modern writers hate men but create female characters with all the stereotypes and tropes of strong male characters....so strange and weird. There's also nothing wrong with feminine women, in fact feminine women are possibly more powerful than masculine men as one requires brute strength while the others require mental finesse.

The entire entertainment industry is suffering from this. It's a mix of what you mentioned and the rise of corporatism and the product no longer being made to please the customer, but to milk the customer of all they got.

Videogames still got it but yea, a lot of the triple A and even some double A level games are either stale, uninteresting, or lazy

No matter the time or age, modern or old-school TV and movies, there is a pattern that always repeats flawlessly: Male-oriented productions show men as being strong, badass, creative, brainy, focused, adventurous and ambitious but always portraying women in the same positive light of an "ideal companionship"; on the other hand, female-oriented productions always are an obligatory shitstorm of "fem power everywhere, males are abusive monsters or weakling idiots". That's why I prefer movies from the mid-1990s and backwards (Sean Connery's James Bond is an impeccable classic), because they valued and respected men above anything without limiting them to "walking penises or mindless killing machines".

Hollywood just hates characters, period.

That's not hating women that's when trying to make them superior to men goes wrong.

@@viniciusvalois2634 Very astute observations. IT's not turning the tables. The tables were never so lop sided.

Because "women traits" are not respected, it's no wonder no one wants to be described like this. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Audiences and even die-hard fans would've loved seeing Stephan make an appearance in WandaVision!

Yea, just like I don't deduce Benedict Cumberbatch is a terrible actor because of his attempt (or lack thereof) of a Boston accent in Black Mass. He's a pretty good actor, but christ that was bad.

I hate that he said Its so dumb but still i don't believe that it was a story reason why he didn't appear We know the Pandemic messed up almost every MCU movie and series The finale of WandaVision felt rushed and like many plot points weren't resolved

Doctor Strange also got mansplained by America Chavez.

He could have just lied and said Benedict Cumberbatch had a scheduling conflict and couldn't make the filming.

Yeah. They try to humanize evil cus they think it adds depth, but only makes it fucking goofy lol.

so long as they don't feel the need to show the bad guy doing something evil to constantly remind us "hey, this guy, you hate him right?" by doing shit like killing off their own people and abusing people, those kinds of characters are too shallow to care about. Bad guy is bad, is one of the most annoying things a story can do. right behind this racist sexist shit pervasive in modern media.

Well you can blame shows like Sopranos, GoT, Breaking Bad, The Shield, and pretty much Tarantino as well. One thing personally for me at least that was bad coming out of the 90s and the early 2000s was the obsession with 'understandable bad guy'.

Be sure that good and evil get always twisted with Hollywood

I think it's perfectly fine to have both types of characters. One of the reasons why Avatar the Last Airbender is one of my favorite shows is that it has three types of villains. Zuko is the initial conflicted villain with a redemption arc, Azula is the complex psychopath and Ozai is just a simple evil villain that must be stopped. It's pretty cool that they explored all of those different angles.@@tommyhawk2065

Most men and women like strong female characters. We just don't like flawless Mary Sues without weaknesses.

I think Aragorn is a good example of a male character that isn't stoic to the point of being ice cold and not overly emotional either. He can lop the heads off orcs and then sing poetry after.

Especially for black people. I saw a video of Terry Crews and his son bonding over games and it warms my heart. If black empowerment is so important, why not create movies about an awesome black dad who loves his family more than ever, amirite?

The Mandalorian, even the weakest chapters, are a perfectly wonderful depiction of a father-son relationship.

Many fathers go get milk and never return. Now we see the shift in society. It took 30 years.

@@SUPREMELEGEND Why? I'm honestly curious to the reason they'd want to make bad movies.

Glad to hear you had that positive experience, mate. Hope the mums and kids in your playgroup enjoy it too. :)

The good ending

Maverick is like the last man standing in a sea of sht movies that hate men.

Not surprised to see that people who home school their kids would agree on this. Typically people home school because they do not like the school systems or what is being taught in school, so they are already more aware of these problems than most. Glad to see though, more people who notice, the more the push back will begin. I don't know if you are in the US, I suppose the 'mums' part of your comment makes me want to clarify that, but since Trump has been kicked out and everyone isn't hysterically fight each other politically, a lot of the moderates that were so upset with Trump have also begun to see the cultural shifts being pushed by the progressive left. A natural push back is starting to happen, though not as forceful as it needs to be yet.

Real women love strong men. It's natural. Men are there to protect women, children, the family and society. And we women know when we're presented with phony female heroes who couldn't really do any of the things they're shown doing. Like "Lady" Thor. Such a load of crap.

My favorite movie of the year beside The Northman.

Peggy was his muse at one point, pushing him back to help his team, but he was still the hero.

Agreed it was such a breath of fresh air, men dealing with hard times and hard moments but still pushing through finding the strength to be heroic and love, while also being smart for once and outsmarting the enemy. Compared to well…man he’s dumb and sexist where is his woman or diverse set of characters to correct him

Definitely not. It was more glamorous than stoic. Beach bodies, cool haircuts, cool wardrobe, etc.

That film got Navy politics to a T.

You mention you had a good dad, that's why you're not with the movement. My theory is most of the craziness is coming from people who didn't have a dad, who grew up with a single mother who taught them that men are trash, that their dad was a deadbeat and good riddance. Unfortunately we're continuing to trend in that direction where there are more kids growing up without a dad. Marriage rates are going down but women are still going to have babies. Men are increasingly considered unnecessary.

It’s the reason why the ending to Schindler’s List was so impactful. He earned that emotional scene after all that had happened. “Why did I keep this car, I could’ve saved ten more lives.”

It reminds me to Brendan Fraser in the Bedazzled remake, where one of his multiple characters was an overly sensitive and emotional man that was crying for everything.😭😭😭

Yes, this point resonates with me a lot. A great example for this is First Blood. Rambo endures everything thrown at him while the movie makes it clear he's having severe PTSD attacks but only at the end he finally breaks down emotionally, which is one of the biggest emotional payoffs in cinema.

In today's age it's easier than ever to self publish your work through amazon. I'd recommend taking the time to research how to do it in a smart way. Also In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books. LESS THAN ONE DOZEN. Stop being depressed about this, half of these publishers will go under in the next 5 years, you don't want to be a part of that sinking ship.

This is something I realised when first watching Star Wars 7. I was enraged by how bad and badly copied the movie was from the original, but I was also unsure if I may not have been fooled by my fond memories. So after getting home frome the theatre, I rewatched Part 4, and boy what a contrast. Lucas in his day managed to convey so much more by doing so much less.

I was gonna say "Bryan Singer may be persona non grata..." But maybe that little moment that stuck with you is all thanks to David Hayter X-Men sounds nice (perhaps they won't even call it that anymore as it's "non-inclusive") I really hope they don't hijack that franchise just to keep us even more divided Stay vigilant, treasure your loved ones, be ready to let go and all that...

That's not just a male acting thing, that's a movie thing in of itself. A mix of creative visual storytelling and solid acting to immerse yourself in that situation. If Logan just spilled every detail nonchalantly, then the potential for your audience to be intrigued diminishes. Men in general have this natural mastery to physical storytelling, and that they can convey a lot of information just with a few gestures and subtle expressions with little to no words. Just look at Sean Connery's James Bond to study on how a true *actor* portrays a suave, capable, and calculating man just with a few scenes of witty dialogue. Key word: *act.* He acts like a man, talks like a man, and thinks like a man. That's why when I see decent male actors act like immature, insecure dolts in media, I see it as a waste of talent.

I'm not really into top gun but I agree with your assessment

I think Tom Cruise only accepts roles where the same plot structure is: 1. Toms character is damn good at whatever he is, maybe the best. 2. But his ego gets him in trouble and he is almost destroyed. 3. A woman talks some sense into him and builds him back up. 4. Tom returns and wins. Sure there are a few exceptions but this really does explain most of his movies.

Perhaps this was helped by the fact that Tom Cruise had quite a lot more control and love for the character. Unlike, I dunno, a certain Daniel Craig.

I never really like Tom Cruise much, but it's clear from the Top Gun remake that he is aware of what is going on and was determined to resist it. And for that I give him a lot of credit. Many many other A-listers weren't so smart.

In short, she hit a low point on set, said something a bit negative, and Cruise jumped in and basically told her to man up; it caught her off-guard, but she by no means was offended by his comment.

The romance section for females is basically porn in written form...cliterature.

I've seen some romances, in a lot of cases man is far stronger than woman in those (I've seen one when they're equally strong) but when men rescue women from physical danger in exchange women emotionally support men. And this is great because it shows they both have flaws in some aspects they struggle, but when they're together they support each other

Exactly! Men in those romances are super rich, powerful, strong, and stoic too most times! They brood all the time.😂 They command authority and fear from others, especially in fantasy romances. They do treat the heroine softly but that's bc the heroine was able to break down his walls and support him emotionally bc he is very traumatized and all that. And they also save the heroines too! One of the favorite things ever for romance fantasy readers is a scene where the heroine is kinda beaten up and the guy goes "who did this to you?" and basically crushes those guilty like lil ants. They also like seeing her handle her own and have agency but that is like, the basics of writing a good character, male or female, at least the character has to grow into having those attributes. Anyway that's clearly what women like since the majority of them seem to fantasize about these characters and i have never seen one woman do the same for a silly guy like the modern hollywood likes to put on screen. Never. As a female, i don't really like romance but i love epic fantasy and almost all of my favorite characters are male. I love the female characters in those too, because they actually are good people who are trying to do good things most times, not self-absorbed men-hating weird stuck up creatures.

From my experience most people dont notice changes in the media and society and how people view and think about things at all and thinks you are just weird and crazy if you mention that kind of stuff to them. Most people also seems to be completely blind to double standards. Most people seriously only seems to be able to notice and see things if the mainstream media talk about it a lot.

Enthusiastically thank them for their "poor baby".

I've been noticing that since the 90s. Anyone who said anything but praise for misandrist content was branded a "sexist" and ruined. This was before the internet. Few men noticed it, fewer cared and very few were willing to say anything. It was a lonely time to be a red pill dude. Times are better now, far from perfect, but far better. At least now misandry can be pointed out without nearly as much fear of reprisal.

Actually even in the LOTR movies there were some small but significant differences from the source material. For example, in the movies Aragorn whines: 'I'm Isildur's heir, the same weak blood runs in me' and then Arwen comforts him: 'You're Aragorn, not Isildur himself'. In the books, on the other hand, it's Boromir who accuses Aragorn of being Isildur's heir and having his weaknesses, while Aragorn defends himself saying that he's his own man.

Modern example? That was 20 years ago. He’s talking about the last decade especially last 5 years have been atrocious portrayals of men… and women.

@@mikoaj1349 eh? Book Isildur is a hero, who died heroically. It was the movies that made him into: "hearts of men are easily corrupted" Book Aragorn would be proud to be called heir of Isildur.

@@mikoaj1349 thats a bit different, that scene was put there to convey that Arwen was his closest confidant and he was able to talk to her, showing how he is when hes around someone he can open up with kinda i guess.

John McClane although the good Die Hard films are even older. And what about Hans Gruber charming, nicely spoken, cunning, quick witted and ruthless

Of course, his recent change in character IS pretty understandable; I mean, you live a life like his, you see and go through the shit he has, after a while it takes a toll.

That scene was in 1995. The point of that scene wasn't to put down James Bond.

@@spacemann1425 1995, better times.

no worry honey. next bond will question about his sexuality and his skill color while fighting climax change

If you want the money for your movie, think about the main cinema payer in the audience: the white man. They forget it and cry later.

The fans ruined those characters the most by not letting those characters go and watch something new. You can't expect old actors to play their younger selves and do action scenes. Like come on now. The fans need to move on to new characters. This is why Star Wars is stuck. I would rather watch Old Republic in the Star Wars universe.

@@user-ey9ww3wb8s not the fans, the studios keep milking every single character and ip

You could've left off "of the 60's/70's". Cause Clint ain't no bitch. He's 90 years old, and can still kick your ass, my ass, and the asses of our best friends.

John Wick disagrees

"Get three coffins ready"

@@hubertbevillard2576 john wick is a girl with a lot of ammo!..

And racism frankly.

I recently watched Oliver Stones 'JFK'.........What a banger of a film that is. Joe Pesci as Dave Ferrie was so good its frightening......."A Triangular crossfire, That's the key, That's the key"

Incredibly depressing to look back at the 2000's (which wasn't too long ago) where constant quality entertainment was just normal and expected, here we are in 2010's/2020's world and you get 2 good things a year and people forget about them in a week

Don't put it in your pocket! It's your lucky quarter

@@NineBreakerUIXB which it is , just a quarter

One of my top 10 personally probably a close favorite. So glad it wasn't poisoned with a netflix spinoff or sequel.

Exactly. Hes a real man that asks for support, from his COMPASSIONATE and CARING WIFE. That is a true man. Women are SUPPOSED to be caring, emotionally supportive, compassionate and emotionally reconstructive. Its the Yin and Yang to mens protectively supportive, reassuring, providing and guiding traits.

Yes! Having a feminine wife to support him is EXACTLY how you write a good woman character. Rocky was awesome

@@thelegacyofgaming2928 Adrian is a well written strong female character too. She is able to break free of her insecurities and in turn be the perfect voice of reason when Rocky lost his way. Nowadays, a feminist's idea of a strong woman is someone who can KO men and is masculine, while Adrian is feminine yet very mentally strong.

@@wasabi5338 Adrian is great. Rocky was willing to give it up for her, which was a massive sacrifice for a man who was on the verge of escaping a life of mediocrity. Adrian knew Rocky risked dying, that she could lose him, but she risked that loss because she knew he would be diminished if he didn't fight. Rocky is a series about two heroes, Rocky and Adrian.

Never get tired of "Rocky" series even I have watched them for hundreds times. The story, characters and musica was on point!

@@whatsappme9933 tfw you steal a film critics profile pic to try to scam ppl. ugh

It was mostly killing his dog. You don't kill dogs unless your ready for war.

@@nathancawley8759 Yeah, they literally comment on everything I say. Makes me feel like they're targetting me specifically. They've also impersonated other youtubers and commented on my stuff from other videos.

Those movies are getting worse and worse though. Keanu is the type of guy to happily have his character be neutered so women and trans women can take over. He’s very down with that trend.

@sup9542 what women are you referring to? Sure there are badass female characters but I'd hardly say they "took over"

Those writers are energy drink spoiled autistic soy boys who believe steven universe is the peak of what entertainment looks like so obviously they never talked to another human being with an once of sanity

confrontation is being made more and more not socially acceptable, you're actually probably right

​@@thegoodwolf4255 of course you make men less confrontational and less dominant they pose less of a threat to the elite group of men that control the world. 😉

at the same time a little is enough and no one wants their time wasted on endless quiet.

We have a hyperactive, can't sit still for five minutes audience of children now addicted to TikTok and mindless dopamine bullshit. Combine that with an industry that has become all about making money and less about storytellers: you have these movies now. They're not only bad on their own, they're tarnishing their original versions-which they shamelessly remake to begin with.

Thank you, I forgot about that line, it says everything in a short sentence.

What's wrong with Creed? Too black?

@@juniorm641 tbh it's the only one I disagreed with because Rocky dying makes sense, he lost everybody and feels fulfilled so going out like that is fine to him

“Demolition Man”? Another awesome movie that was way ahead of its time.👍

I say EVERY day that I wish that damn asteroid would hurry up and get here

It's that word that has been noticeable in it's absence...FEMINISM!

Leave it to Beaver was also stereotypical. Ward was always the smart one while June was always running to him for advice. Totally unrealistic portrayal of real life. But in those days they wanted to present masculinity as a kind of jokey patriarchy--Ward was a pencil pusher, not a working class father. Wokeness didn't start yesterday. It has been in Hollywood since the 1920s, but in different ways because the society was 99% European so they couldn't push diversity or LGBT.

Wow kudos to you. Sounds great. How was that essay received though? Lol

@@Nickpetronio Pretty well actually, I don't remember my actual grade but it was decently good I think.

Yes the Wife has the solution to lifes problems.

That and Jack Ryan . It's like good writing, especially with make leads. Is becoming rare now

Words you'll never hear from real men 'I'm just going to be vulnerable here for a moment'

Another example would be Ethan Hunt from the Mission Impossible movies. He generally does not come off as very stoic most of the time. But when things get serious he puts all his vulnerabilities aside and gets the job done. It also helps than Tom Cruise can pull off characters like Ethan Hunt better than any other actor.

@@LoganDX1990 Yeah I think the Jack Ryan series is decent, better than a lot of crap on nowadays anyway. Reminds me I need to get back to the latest season, forgot I had started it lol.

To be honest, I found "Reacher" to be too Marty Sue. He is exceptionally strong, exceptionally smart, and exceptionally professional. Basically, he is a superman w/o kryptonite vulnerability. "Terminal list" was much better - there was character development, moral choices, and no "superpowers". Just a man who is doing his job and going to the very end if it is needed.

Or Japanese and Korean films

Or none at all. For about 10 years now.

Switched to reading, they cannot monopolize that market with crap. These days every hollywood movie is trash by default.

men whining about "sexism" will never not be funny

@@lithosagymfansaid the man whose never watched a film from the 40’s or 50’s

Somewhat hilariously "hyper-emotional" and "quick to anger" is how I'd sum up most of the online discourse when it comes to movies in general.

@@xGhost4000x thank you. These guys want to see real men while acting like real women looking for their perfect man. So ironic.

Isn't that who Critical Drinker is? Anyone who waste this much time on content like this isn't a real man at all. Neck beard rantings of unimportant fictional nerd shit as is that really matters in the real world. Getting all angry over movies, TV shows and videogames is as unmanly as it comes.

You're the second guy in this comment section I've seen named Leo.

Hollywood had a China issue. This equity and inclusion movement is very obviously being pushed and funded by the CCP. Just look at every university in the western world. The amount of money the CCP dumps into them says it all.

The objective if you haven't noticed is to turn men into women and women into men because it is a hugely lucrative industry for $$$. They expect it to make more money than Hollywood (surgeries, hormone replacement therapy, therapy, legal costs, increased consumer spending etc). None of what you see is by accident, it is all for profit at the expense of people's mental health. And the other obvious reason for all this feminization of men is weaker men are easier to control. The less stoic heroes you have, the more you can exploit them.

Thank you. My generation of boys are just brainwashed and dominated into believing women are always superior. Yet the girls brag about not getting enough recognition. Which makes sad and angry most of the time. Especially when I see boys acting feminine, emotional, whiney, irresponsible.

As long as those boys have a good father, and grandfather. They will be fine. Jordan Peterson is also a really good man that is in the media as well. Of course they try to twist him, but he's to popular for them to bring down now.

And women too. Initially you might think we're lucky because we aren't demonised but it's not a great look to be portrayed as the annoying, cold mary sue gender. Now people will think that every movie with a female lead will automatically suck when it never had to be this way.

Which is why at 19. I stopped watching any new modern movies that have anything to do with Disney superheros or female leads or female action star. I can't unsee the disrespect of male characters. Tv shows have it way worse than movies It's worse than you Think. I have seen young men say self hate thing like self owning or self downing. A lack of confidence is the agenda's real goal in my opinion.

Because it's true. Look up female in group bias and 'women are wonderful effect'

They’re NOT aspirational to women, they’re DESIRABLE to them.

Because it's true to an extent, that also applies to both genders in general

honestly? as a woman, i have found no hero, no role model in those “strong female” characters. The men are the only place left to turn- and even the wussy emotional ones as Drinker described are better than the cold, hateful and arrogant females that’re so often portrayed in media these days. So rare to find media that lets people embody their natural talents and energy without challenging others or feeling threatened by their accomplishments and strengths. Wouldn’t it be cool to see? ahhh

Indeed. It's a ridiculous assumption, as there's been a lot of interesting and aspirational characters in media for decades; male and female. I disagree with some of the comments saying women can't find male characters aspirational, as I have never had that issue; though I am someone who has been a tomboy all my life so in tune somewhat towards some more typically masculine values along with some core feminine ones. I am extremely tired of the 'defeated and downtrodden old man', 'bad father' and 'incompetent leader' tropes as much as the very unrealistic female heroes. I miss seeing characters with realistic and aspiration masculine and feminine strength respectively. Not understanding that men and women have different strengths is as much of a crime as not understanding that there are many people who don't fit the typical stereotype associates to gender.

When i red the Rippley/Skywalker-part, i felt a cold shower running down my spine as i imagined the pure epicness, and adventure, and how those movies felt. Especially at that time 😍 Must have been incredible to watch those for the first time, sitting in a big seat in the cinema, you still dont really know what to await and than the Star-Wars intromusic blasts your ears through your brainstem and the text rolls in. I really envy you for your age.. Greetings from Germany, have a good one

Watch John Wick and take a chill pill lady. Jeez. Have you watched the Northman, Nobody, Top Gun maverick, Bad Liuetenant is so woke huh? Ridiculous

@vickilove5795 Wasn't Luke always kind of bitchy, though? Also, the part of Ellen Ripley was written for a man.

@@metalmayhem3622 luke was a whiney little brat in A New Hope and Mel Gibson cried in almost every 90s movie he was in. Alpacinos whole carer was built on losing his cool and I was there for it all. This channel has become an echo chamber of bullshit.

I'm not so sure about this "80's knew strong men" trope; at least not if you take sitcoms into account. In Married ... with children, in ALF and even in The Cosby Show the male protagonists have been kinda jerks, while their wives, even PEggy Bundy, were superior to them and lovingly tolerating their foolishness. Maybe that's where it all started ...

I was thinking about this yesterday. Strong men are hard to find in mainstream movies. A weird thing about nowdays is if I made a joke that "where hav all the good dads gon" bc they'r all jokes, idiots, or submissive, and someone will tell me cool dads are everywhere, using She Hulk as an example...😶 Sorry, how are they not submissive or stupid man? Girls of my gen are doomed.🤦‍♀️ At least video game men can still be cool

I watch 80s and 90s movies about 50x more than anything from the past decade.

Heck Kevin Mccallister is a better role model from the 90's and he is only 8 in the first film

@@Rezzatoni you make a solid point that the 80s family sitcom marks a huge uptick in pathetic make leaders, however 80s movies are without a doubt home to some of the manliest lead characters ever. I mean, basically every actor that had a role in an Expendables movie had their heyday in the 80s.

ya its great!

Are you writing a book?

It’s actually really fun to experiment with body language in writing. Getting the descriptions just right so that your reader can see it, but you aren’t spelling it out like they’re a child is a good challenge. I’ve always been complemented on how my characters communicate in my writing, I just need to form a proper story for them.

@Bass Player Nobody even watches any of the shows you just wrote. And I'm not sure it was a good idea to go on a video trying to defend strong men, and then making a comment about some weird obscure anime about a creep who is a pervert and rapes women. Like seriously man, what's wrong with you?

@@bassplayer2773 Those are some very poor examples, lol.

@@Sothpawman Noticed that you; didn't help at all, just piling on someone for trying. So stunning and brave of you.

Its just a commercial Why are we taking it seriously?

It started with Homer Simpson.

@@kofimoseley9296 Nope. I've been around long enough to remember the first commercial to make a man look like a dope: It was for the new Sears "softer side" ads. The man looks at a sweater and says it's pink and his wife in a disgusted tone says it's salmon. From then on it's started to creep into commercials more and more until it hit tv shows and movies.

@@Pointman11111 why does it being a commercial somehow trivialize it? The commercial probably gets seen more than the films lmao it's still very clearly insinuating that men are basically just horrible or retarded, and it's not in the sense of satire so it's just a bad message overall. if you replace the man with a woman it would never be accepted, on that basis alone it's ridiculous.

@@Pointman11111 Because they're broadcasted across the country to millions of people? If you see it enough times it will stick with you., commercials have always been about the subconscious.

No Country was 2007, TDK was 2006, Hacksaw was a historical movie, Django was 2012, Gladiator and Fight Club were also older movies. John Wick was a breath of fresh air specifically because of the pussification of men in media and the other issues he mentions here, and while I liked The Equalizer (2014) and the character that Denzel played, I struggle to put it on the same level as John Wick or the OG Bourne Trilogy, let alone James Bond, not because of the actor (and ignoring the fact that it was a blackwash of a 1985 TV show), but because the movie was just... mediocre.

@@bugme143 OK sorry not all of them were within the last decade but my point still stands. And wasn't this guy not talking more specifcally about the 70-90s? There are many movies, some neither of us have not mentioned that have this archetype. Not every film has to be this badass guy doing badass things, but you still have them films for the people who want them, like every decade of movies before now. Not every movie prior to the 2010s was about a badass guy was it? Cinema has also changed. It has to do with what films make the most money, it's not about demasculating men, I don't even know how that conclusion was made to be honest. Look at the highest grossing films of all time, the vast majority aren't a strong male stoic lead. Hollywood wants to make money, not please insecure men upset because a man in a superhero isn't completely void of emotion.

Amen 🙏. That’s what I’ve been saying since the movie out

First of all it was a good movie I watched the predecessor just a few days before going to the theatre to see the new one and i didn't really care about the character Maybe bc there wasn't really a nostalgia factor for me Still it was a damn good movie and im glad it was such a huge success and i hope future movies take note But i did enjoy Amazons Reacher and The Terminal list And DCs Peacemaker bc of the main character/actor

Don’t forget that Top Gun Maverick also has strong, interesting, well-written female characters too. I really loved that pretty mother and her daughter

@@coomerslayer420 All the male and female characters were great

Top Gun Maverick is a masterpiece of good filmmaking and storytelling. It truly was a good movie that me and my mom and dad enjoyed and we’ve seen the original as well
