They have routinely poked and barbed the normal people who get castigated as Far Right for simply saying "I don't like modern Star Wars anymore" and it's going to cost them a LOT of good will. This is painfully ironic given their whole channel's big break was the Star Wars prequel critiques with Mr. Plinkett. They know, intellectually, that none of the newer Disney or Marvel products are good, but their ideology categorically forbids them from naming Feminism, Liberalism, DEI, or any other sacred cow as the reason that it's so awful.
They will never call out Disney giving former Personal Assistant to Harvey Weinstein Leslye Headland $180 million to make The Acolyte, but they will make an hour long video on it where they waffle about the "response" to the show being 'unfair' or 'intolerant' or 'undeserved.' They will whine and complain that there are starving children in Africa, and attacking a bad Star Wars show is a waste of time and a demonstration of skewed priorities. Yes, they really did this. They are weak men who coasted on the early breaking waves of "things sure are getting bad, aren't they?" but will never have the will or determination to point fingers because it will disrupt their comfortable movie-watching careers. They are a relic of the 2010's when internet videos critiquing media was a new phenomenon and now that things are well past "movies and TV are kinda bad, I wonder why that is" they don't want to take off their blinders and see what's been done, by whom, or why.
Good riddance to them. I dropped them when Mike couldn't help himself making a Donald Trump reference to some man making a cartoonishly evil and racist speech in one of their old-&-bad movie watches.
Gen x is a deconstructionalist generation. They think they will take down “the man” with sarcasm, cynicism, and apathy. And clearly “the man” is conservative, right wing, republicans. It doesn’t cross their minds that the left has become the establishment.
