i get the impression reviewers are mad because the bad guy in the first movie is a sympathetic mentor figure in the second one but they cant actually say that hence baffling complaints like the dog to woman death ratio being off

the funny thing is dude who does evil poo poo mentors a young girl into being an asskicker is like an entire subgenre now if anything it sounds like dont breathe 2 is at least addressing the hosed up nature of that premise sincerely since we actually saw him do explicitly evil stuff in the first movie and its not just tucked away as ambiguous backstory

gonna run a spot check of which movies are sexist based on the dog to woman kill count

avengers endgame is pretty sexist so many dead women but no dead dogs

john wick is good though no dead women but one dead dog

i think cruella is a tie because an equal number of dogs and women die hopefully the sequel will be the most feminist movie ever made

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

the final-no-really-last-one-for-real-this-time evangelion movie dropped on amazon and its incredible. floored that the actual, real, textual message of the film is the only way out of depression is to get yourself a big titty GF and stop thinking about giant robots

it's actually funny which wrestlers are chuds/libs/comrades and not at all the ones you'd think. chris jericho's a covid denying chud and stone cold steve austin has a reasonable head on his shoulders.

No, it's gonna be Linda. HHH is a little busy playing the role of ozymandias with his plans of taking over WWE dashed.

WWE's business practices are interesting from a labor standpoint.

Classify workers as Independent Contractors, but demand exclusivity.
Punish workers who do well on their own, especially if they're not home grown.
Take Saudi blood money.
Your company post record profits, but you also release wrestlers who you expect to be lifers, cratering morale.
These wrestlers go to other organizations and thrive.
Meanwhile, your son in law COO, who married into the family for power is blamed for not being able to beat the other guys while your right hand man is burning through personnel in a possible sell off to NBC.
There's also that time WWE introduced a new company policy of workers who did side gigs, like Twitch streams, give up a good portion of their income to the company.

Wasn't there a huge Q anon group in NXT, their developmental program?

I know their women's championship is a COVID skeptic.
