Exactly! I'm so glad people in the comment section of that clip also pointed this out. I have no idea who she thought she was appealing to by just ouright lying about people not caring about how the Marvel actors looked when it came to their physique.
Have you tried Gear Club Unlimited 1 & 2? They aren't bad. I beat both of them. The multiplayer wasn't even that bad.
It's no Gran Turismo or earlier Forza games, as it leans more on the arcade side, but it has some decent customisation and progression. Some of the levels are decently designed and it has a fairly okay selection of cars to choose from.
I like the process of going to the dealer to grab a new ride -- I wish more car games had the dealership process like in Test Drive Unlimited.
It's like that in a lot of older action games, especially espionage and military games like Syphon Filter, basically every 007 game up through Blood Stone, and various Call of Duty games before they went full-on pozz.
But back then the theme was the people who died getting in your way did so because you were trying to save more people from whatever catastrophe was about to befall the city, region, nation, world, etc.
Back in the day the concept of "the greater good" was an important aspect of heroism. Just as others pointed out, it was even common in action films, where plenty of innocent people were caught in the crossifre or part of an unfortunate side-effect of some antics by the hero to save the day.
In Golden Eye, Bond had no trouble wrecking the city with a tank, and he did the same thing in Everything or Nothing with that experimental tank. But if he hadn't, there would have been a much larger global catastrophe.
These days you can only get away with collateral damage if the people being harmed or the places being wrecked are associated with Russians, Conservatives, Whites, or a mixture of all three.
Agreed about Pfeiffer -- she is a definitive 10/10.
Whenever I see looksmaxxer channels talk about 9/10s and 10/10/s they always pick the most mid wenches for their charts. The top of the list should, without question, be 1980s / 1990s Michelle Pfeiffer, followed by early 1990s Sharon Stone, 1990s Jennifer Connelly and early 2000s Kate Beckinsale and Diane Kruger.
It's not hard, but a lot of those guys have such low standards due to porn brain and Hollywood filling up the casting with completely middle-tier women and outright uggos that a lot of today's generation have no idea what a hot woman is supposed to look like.
Also, I try not to miss any opportunity to remind everyone that ScarJo has genital herpes courtesy of Derek Jeter.
I was unaware of this, but I'm glad I know now because it could not have happened to a more deserving harpy.
When she was on Howard Stern complaining about how people were praising her for how hot she looked in the Ghost in the Shell active-camo suit and how "sexist" it was because -- according to her -- no one talked about how "hot" her male co-stars looked in their Marvel super suits, I almost wanted to pull my hair out.
I was even more angry for Stern for not pointing out to her that in nearly EVERY single interview some braindead female wench doing the interview would ask Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans to flex their muscles for them. It happened so often, Evans even complained about it when asked what kind of questions he hates most being asked during interviews, and he rightyly pointed out how pointless those questions were, but he never complained about how much people appreciated how he looked, opposite of Johannsson, who seemed to miss the glaring reality that she's only going to be young and hot for a couple of decades and then never again.
Thanks for the heads-up about Kraken. I believe I had that on my watchlist.
And that Jurassic Park movie with Scarlett Johannson was so laughably bad with its on-the-nose Lefty propaganda it was ridiculous.
I'm actually kind of shocked that they had Scarlett and the other beta-male show some kind of romantic interest -- but given she's getting up in age and older than Bailey, I can definitely see her having hand-picked him for the role as a powerplay to compensate for her dwindling sex appeal (not unlike what we saw with Sharon Stone oftentimes choosing her male co-stars, or Nicole Kidman after she got up in age).
Ah okay. Thank you for explaining that. At least he took the right steps in the beginning.
Has this guy never seen a crime thriller.. ever?
Never go into a hefty deal with that amount of money on the line without a legally binding contract.
Now, if he did have a contract (I haven't watched the two part series) and they still screwed him over, then that's pretty messed up.
I would like to hope this is true, but even without sponsorships, there is still the problem of the rest of the zeitgeist being all-in on the lifestyle.
When I opened the browser today there were already two stories about faggotry on the general page and it's not even June yet.
Even if corporations no longer sponsor it, if it's still everywhere in the media -- movies, streaming, games, books, news -- it's still a massive problem.
They've lost any and all aspiration they ever had and now define black culture as a short lived life of extreme degeneracy.
To be fair, this is no longer just a groid problem, this is a Western societal problem, and we're seeing in real-time how it's now affecting Whites... especially women.
The average young lass in Britain is a degenerate mudshark, just a few steps removed from the groid lifestyle. It's quite alarming.
Many young men are suicidal because the zeitgeist has foisted upon them the options of being considered eternally "racist" in the the eyes of society and a constant threat to women, or they need to indulge in being a degenerate cretin to gain acceptance from dysgenic cultures.
The dearth of an aspirational ID in youth culture is a scary thing, and it's turning into a global phenomena (for developed countries).
South Korea seems to be the end result of this cultural paradigm, where you're pleasure-seeking at the highest levels of self-indulgence, or you're suicidal because you'll never achieve aesthetic degenmaxxing (and ironically, despite the groid in OP's story heading down the second path via alcoholism, it was actually White culture with a higher-purpose that saved his life so that he could whine about it on social media).
They hired the most lame, milquetoast, nondescript actor to play... JAMES BOND?!?!
I couldn't get past the casting. They could have hired anyone... anyone, and they went with a guy who has a face no one would remember.
They could have cast Henry Cavill (a fan favourite) or Taron Egerton (if they couldn't afford Cavill), or any number of up-and-coming Welsh actors if they really wanted someone young and not yet famous. Just siome bloke with a memorable face, a commanding voice, and a strong, masculine presence. Yet, that's not who they went with.
But I'm glad you pointed out all the DEI hires in this game, because it lets me know this is just more humiliation ritual.
I had my eye briefly on this game because the Hitman engine is PERFECT for a Bond game. Everything to be a cool Bond is already built into the framework, yet they somehow managed to make a game that seems boring, soulless, and with paint-by-numbers gameplay.
Both a tragedy and a travesty.
I also get the feeling they may use the poor reception/sales as an excuse to say "See, straight White male leads don't sell games. We're going for a DEI Bond in the next game".
I understand your plight, mate. But being angry at the people who recognise the problems doesn't solve your issues.
A lot of it starts with first relinquishing the obsession with a relatinship. I know how hard that can be because a lot of society puts an inescapable focus on it. However, it's an unhealthy thing and it's done to drive lonely blokes crazy and people in relationships into a cycle of constantly seeking opportunities to trade-up (especially wenches).
Your life will improve a hundred fold once you're able to start de-centering women from your life.
Seek motivation for something you like and apply all of that energy you would have wasted on a wench, into that hobby. Whether it's learning a language, building your physique, playing an instrument, raising pets, etc.
Just find something that you can invest all of that emotional energy into so that you can improve yourself. It's not easy and you'll always be reminded of what you can't have by a zeitgeist that hates you, but the best response to that is to be the best version of yourself in spite of their best efforts to demoralise and disenfranchise you.
I saw the trailer for this a while back. It's constructed decently enough for AI slop, but it reminds me of a conceptually-poor man's Power Rangers with AI filling in for the effects.
At least it's getting better, though, which is really what's important here.
The continuity during the fight after 17 minutes was the most impressive thing, since continuity is where a lot of AI slop breaks down. But it's still slop in a lot of other places, such as the voices, the uncanny movement of multiple characters having to move at once in a single frame, and the unnatural reactions in various places that indicate what you're watching doesn't involve real people.
Still, I look forward to the actual creative types using this to create worthwhile content. The 1990s Dark Knight concept featuring Alec Baldwin really piqued my interest (top tier casting for Willem Dafoe as the Joker and Ray Liotta as Harvey Dent):

Also, the trailers for an action hero sitcom are funny and nostalgic... it won't be long before we get an actual series based on this:

So it's just a matter of time before we start getting good stuff that Hollywood refuses to make.
Have you walked down the streets of London? It's not good.
...future doctors and lawyers right there.
There were plenty of people propping that film up. Even now, go into any normie forum and they are all salivating over that film; look up the user reviews, they can't get enough of it.
There was nowhere near enough lambasting for that film.
The Berserker Predator took out 30 French trappers with ease, but couldn't land a single hit on Naru. Every time I bring this up, the normies just kind of skirt around the issue.
Were there or are there any anti-woke channels out there that actually ripped that movie to shreds in the way that it deserved? I didn't see a lot of negativity aimned at that film like the Star Wars films, even though it was very much on par with them in terms of Naru being a girlboss.
I have not seen the movie, but your description checks out based on an article that popped up on the feed that I should have avoided but did not.
What was the article about? Kitana being a girlboss and defeating Shao Kahn as a symbol of female empowerment.
Yuck.
The article also stressed that the two leads -- her and Johnny Cage -- are played by actors who had never done martial arts in their life.
Yikes.
I readf another article about how nervous Karl Urban was for his first fight on set because he didn't know martial arts. I was thinking that there was no way this was going to turn out well.
This always results in disaster because it means you cannot have a clean master shot (i.e., a single wide-angle take of the entire choreographed fight that they use in editing to showcase the skill and technique -- regardless of what people think about the quality of the films, the John Wick movies use A LOT of master shots because Keanu did a lot of his own fight-stunts, which is part of what makes the choreography so impressive).
The reason a martial arts film wouldn't have many master shots is because they are actors, not martial artists. All of the actual technique are handled by stunt doubles, CGI, and editing.
I knew right there that meant either side characters, fast-motion cameras, and clever editing would have to do a LOT of the heavy lifting for the fight scenes in Mortal Kombat 2, opposite of the original 1995 Mortal Kombat film, which actually had really good fight choreography for the time, and that's because most of the leads did have a martial arts background.
Another good comparison film is Bloodsport. While Jean Claude said the original edit was a mess -- full of close-ups and fast-cuts -- he recut the film using mostly the master shots they took, and only did the close-ups where it made sense (he did the same thing when he had to re-edit Cyborg from the absolute disaster that Pyun put together, and anyone who has seen the director's cut will see JCVD's re-edit for the theatrical release was a masterpiece by comparison).
Sorry for the rant, but it just bothers me when they get actors for martial-arts focused films and then have to weasel around the fight scenes because the actors don't know martial arts.
That being said, Mortal Kombat 2 had the extra awfulness of being a woke film about female empowerment and revenge.
As an aside, if normies do end up liking it, then it will be another successful bit of subversion for elites, just like the movie Prey. More and more we're starting to see that woke is not dying, just evolving.
It's been hilarious seeing companies like Stellantis moving in the complete opposite direction after disasters like the Dodge Daytona, scaling back their EV-only vehicles, axing their 4xe line, and even bringing back the Hemi after consumers demanded it (though they continue to placate regulators with the MEV "eTorque").
Toyota has also been bearish on the EV market precisely because of reactions like the one in that thread. They still have some options but mostly focus on hybrids.
There is a reality about infrastructure, demand, aesthetics, and expectations that EVs fail to meet in a broader, general sense; so the only people who really seem to want these are brainwashed "true believers".
It's also always disappointing seeing FIA try to force these into the seasonal divisions while audiences "nope" out. I still contend that the late 70s up to the late 80s was the best era of motorsports.
...basically any sedan from the game Mindseye.
Mate, you are not wrong.
In fact, I have always argued that the biggest roadblock to any change in any developed nation suffering birthrate declines are simps. Almost every policy, every institution, and every form of government is being held hostage by simps.
Until the average man learns to stop simping, he will always fall victim to his base urges, and by proxy, force others to suffer for it as well.
It wasn't just something they said, I watched the movie The Rip, and the characters literally did this.
They awkwardly said, "Hey, what's your relationship like with your brother? Still strained?" after Ben Affleck and Scott Adkins got into a fight and they had to make it clear that they were brothers fighting.
Some of the dialogue in that movie was conspicuously awkward to remind viewers of character relationships and motivations.
I also saw the headlines and shorts on YouTube about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck explaining that Netflix told them to spell out character relationships and plot points and motivations to make it easy for viewers to digest. It really ruined the narrative framing of the movie.
A parody of Five Nights at Freddy's starring a powered-up Nick Cage resulted in me giving it a 10 out of 10 just for novelty and absurdity alone.
Mandy, however, has become my favourite Nick Cage film of all time. I think about that film a lot -- that awesome chainsaw fight, the surrealist nature of the film, and the unbridled violence... It was like Mad Max on an LSD trip.
Affection-starved married men forced to become incels will do strange things; his motivations are not of sound mind.
Ah okay, thanks for explaining that.
- The Dark Valley (2014)
- Exit 8 (2025)
Recently watched those and enjoyed them. The Dark Valley is that rare German film that's well-shot, excellently staged and occupies a slot in the very small sub-genre of western-horror-thriller.
As for Obsession -- hilariously someone had a short spoiling the ending but I had no idea what it was I watched. It looked like it was the wench who was the villain? Or was it one of those situations where the guy was some kind of manipulative sexist/etc?
I have seen Obsession pop up on my feed occasionally, but other than the spoiler, I've soundly ignored it because it looked similar to another recent feminist horror film whose name I can't remember.
Agreed about fake tits knocking points off, but did she have them when she was in Basic Instinct? Because that's when she was at her hottest.
I know she had the fake bolt-ons by the time Basic Instinct 2 rolled around a decade or so later.
