In a Hollywood where male and female lead characters sharing a scene always form into a romantic relationship, I don't get calling Ray and Finn having a platonic relationship a failure of originality or risk-taking. It was pretty much my favorite aspect of the movie - character-wise.

It's because Disney plays the diversity card but won't let a white girl kiss a black man or a black man kiss a latino man. It feels sterile.

It's why 'diverse' relationships in media tend to always be a white man with a minority woman. It's rare to see anything that isn't that.

Jessica Jones hosed Luke Cage, I mean that's just one example, but it's not like it's a new frontier. Even this review points out how it was controversial in the 60s. It's happened countless times since then, that it's not even a hot button issue in and of itself. Happened in Dexter - poo poo I dunno, just off the top of my head. I didn't get the impression that that was a barrier that still needed to be crossed to avoid ridicule for being a spineless production.

I hope they review Passengers

Because Chris Pratt's character is basically some combination of a murderer-rapist-kidnapper. But because he's a lovable, 'duh duh' idiot, it's played off as a forgivable slip-up. I've always wondered how scenes in movies would feel different if the bad guy was on screen but without the sinister music playing, and I guess that's what this movie was.

Rich's lady friend doesn't really like games, and isn't funny, so I didn't get why she was there. Although, she might be the only person that can cut through Rich's forcefield of overconfidence in his own opinions - other than Mike who just emotionally batters him.

Plus they're kind of cute with the 'I love you's. It's like she's thawed his ice ogre heart - just a bit.

it's contempt for their audience, totally understandable

To preface: Rich does have contempt for the audience, and it's pretty deserved.

But game stream audiences like that poo poo. They like just whatever is filmed, and not only tolerate it, but demand it. I saw Vinesauce had 4000 people watching him grind one Castlevania enemy for over an hour. I saw a guy fly a plane to the north pole in Kerbal Space Program, which took 2 hours, because all his followers begged him not to edit it for time.

It's just a happy coincidence that Rich's hatred of his audience marries well with what they crave.
