I haven't because I have 0 faith in Disney Star Wars. I was willing to give Obi-Wan but that was a turd from day one. I'm just not willing to give any more chances.
That being said, I was listening to Critical Drinker in Open Bar and it does not sound bad, it has some slow 2 episodes but the characters are not 1 dimensional modern day caricatures done by depressed wine moms with double digit IQ.
It may turn out to be a decent series but if they plan to trout how the main actor being Latino and how it is a modern day representation of immigration and feminism then they will ruin it fast.
I hate the fact that suddenly the actors background has to matter. They are telling me I should stay in my lane, this is a hero for latino viewers, you are not allowed to enjoy it. The guy is not even that brown.
I so hate identity politics.
He completely lost me with Prey. The entire “alt reviewer” community seemed to give that one a passing grade. I thought it was one of the most egregiously bad girl power movies I’ve ever seen.
I agree, it gave me the feeling that he wanted a female protagonist movie to work and it gave it a pass because it was not all in your face and was better then normal boss women movies.
It kind of made me realize how much the overton window shifted to the left. I see weaponized rage defending blackwashing characters and average movies like pray getting praised because they are not as insufferable as other movies.
There has been a lot of defending towards House of Dragon blackwashing or black elves if the ROP. The arguments tend to use are that the movie is well written so we do not care that it has woke stuff crammed down or it only has about 1 feminist scene per movie, is not that bad.
The so called dissident right has shifted way to the left.
Im not. I gave em another shot with Kenobi and sat through 2 episodes before finally deciding disney star wars just isnt going to be something I can enjoy.
People watch Andor?

Drinker has praised outright garbage before. I no longer trust the man to give honest reviews
He is a bit hit or miss on recommendations, he gives me the impression that he wants movies to be good so much that he sometimes lowers standards.
He completely lost me with Prey. The entire “alt reviewer” community seemed to give that one a passing grade. I thought it was one of the most egregiously bad girl power movies I’ve ever seen.
