Critical Drinker positive reviews are 9 out of 10 bad. Is like he tries to say, see I'm centrist, I like woke crap as long as I find something I like about it. It is so predictable.
I think people are watching his reviews with the wrong expectations. He's a writer and a movie buff. His complaints are almost about writing: plot holes, characterization, pacing, bad dialog etc.
I've always got the impression that he's not against The Message because of the message is unethical, but because its inclusion is almost always done in an incompetent way that fucks up something about the writing itself. If you took a non-historical IP and made everyone a black woman w/o swapping an existing character or fucking with some established lore, I don't think he'd care all that much. Same with making them all women; as long as they were written as humans and not infallible Mary Sues.
He was fawning over Blue Eye Samurai, which is "diverse whamen vs. the evil white men," but they have her fall down sometimes and picked a setting that isn't completely at odds with that story setup. That was enough to get it a pass from him.
Like has been said in other posts: the flaws he finds, he explains very well. But he's effectively blind to any woke stuff that doesn't outright destroy the script. He's not Gary or Az.
He is quite a shit writer and movie buff then, the pilot itself got plot holes, weird pacing, shit dialog and so on. And this is without getting into original lore.
Nay, I say he is wanting to join the dying empire for success and fame, his offer is that he can bring the strays back onto the farm.
Yeah, I became concerned when he started scoring interviews with Russell Crow and appearing on Piers Morgan that he’d sell out. Damn shame too, his negative reviews were always so spot on.
