I won't, I just think there's a basic hypocrisy in lamenting how hostile a group of people you're being paid to antagonise are - stretch goal videos on Snyder's movies aren't being driven by people excited to hear more even-handed takes!

"I have been silenced"

Karloff

Making a video critical of someone's films is not harassing or aggressive behavior, they're mega budgeted Hollywood films and people are allowed to criticise them.

Tweeting abuse at someone in a mob is harassing and aggressive behaviour.

If Patrick was personally tweeting at Zack Snyder saying he sucks, that would be equal, but he's not. If Patrick sent Zack his video that would also be uncalled for, but he's not engaging Snyder directly so acting like these are the same is dumb.

Or if he did what moviebob did and essentially make a Mauler video for Batman v Superman.

There's probably a difference between making a video criticizing a movie someone might like and directly messaging and replying to someone and telling them to kill themselves for saying anything negative about the film. It's also probably incredibly gross to even insinuate that the person actually deserves it all for being mean to a movie you like.

If you can't figure that out you've got some deeper issues to work through.

If there isn't a 20 minute scene where the Justice League creates a new math formula to determine how long it takes The Flash to masturbate then it isn't adult enough for me.

There was a comic where you could see Batman's dong (it was part of DC's mature label) but it became such an issue that the cowards backtracked instantly, recalled the issue and edited it out.

Nobody said they should never be R-rated. This thread had this exact same discussion last time. Did you huff some helium and black out partway through the conversation then?

I went and looked at his patreon stretch goal and all it says is "I will make a video about the entire filmography of Zack Snyder", not that he will gleefully rip them apart. He's done videos on the filmographies of other divisive directors before, like Robert Zemeckis and Kevin Smith and had plenty of good/bad things to say and analyze about those movie. I don't see a reason to think he'd be any more antagonistic here aside from him implying he's not a fan of Snyder's superhero movies. Maybe he'll have some nice things to say about Owl Movie?

The emotional crisis many comic nerd fanboys had to Alex Ross using real human models for his painted art style and the resulting realistic uh... anatomy was pretty funny and I agree it would be amazing to see recreated with the masses.

Legal Eagle gives us his breakdown of the Gamestock fiasco.

When I heard about what was going on, my first thought was that this had to count as some kind of illegal market-manipulation on the part of the redditors, so I was very interested in hearing a legal expert’s take on the matter. Apparently it could be interpreted that way, but it’s not a clear-cut situation.

The whole gamespot thing has been all kinds of funny. When the hedge fund managers started bitching, when some of apps started loving up by blocking people buying the stock, and now its gonna be the people who either don't know what they're doing or are trying to "stick it to the man" by holding onto the gamespot stocks as their value plummets and they lose a ton of money.

That's one of the points Legal Eagle brought up. He doubts the lawsuit is going to go very far because, regardless of how sketchy it was, everything they did was covered by their TOS.

I’m assuming your implying that because people talk about him that must mean he’s good but that’s not how it works. Failing upward is a thing just look at Elon Musk and Tesla. A car company that doesn’t produce cars but is wildly successful.

It's because critics like to talk about directors with distinct direction style, and they also like talking about things that are culturally current. Due to the Snydercut stuff, he is both. Regardless of quality of his direction you can tell Snyder made something when watching it. Same way people like to talk about Rob Zombie in horror circles a lot even though there are very few people who consider him a great. He has a unique style and he always has a new movie.

I doubt Synder directly profited from his father owning slaves the way Musk did.
