It will always amuse me that loving Zack Snyder films has become the Smart, Serious Film Analyzer thing to do over in CineD. I'm never gonna understand it, but it still amuses me.

there's plenty of posters critical of Snyder over there. some of them do so while still liking his movies!

At the risk of causing a nasty derail, apparently Brad Jones (the Cinema Snob) had some pretty disappointing views regarding the Channel Awesome controversy:

Here's a thread that expands on this:

It sucks that Brad and his family got harassed, but blaming that on a close friend with legitimate grievances with CA is a lovely thing to do.

Super Eyepatch Wolf is a great anime Youtube reviewer/analyst. I can't recommend him enough.

Regarding Made in Abyss... yeah I read the manga after finishing the anime, and loving YIKES. The anime staff really did their damnedest downplaying the creepy poo poo from the source material. They didn't scrub everything, but they were at least smart enough to put a greater emphasize on the actually interesting elements of the story.

On a related note, is Made in Abyss worth watching? I'd always heard about the questionable stuff, but I never looked into it myself.

I do genuinely think the good (interesting world-building, fun relationship between the main characters, unique monster designs) outweighs the bad (the occasional creepy poo poo), but uhhh stay away from the manga.

Also, what don't you like about Quinton Reviews? I'm genuinely curious

As edgy as Mumkey Jones was, he didn't seem like he was flirting with the alt-right that much. Then again, I only watched a handful of his videos, so I may have missed some lovely views.

All anime is inherently fascist on some level, being created by a culture that, by and large, is xenophobic and largely nationalistic. For example, lucky star may seem like your standard Moe anime, but in actuality it revels in the ideals of Japanese superiority and reinforcing the proto-masculine framework of a rigid and unforgiving society. Furthermore,

yea it's a nice kinda cross section of the general Discourse around it, a couple people are on team 'this is great leftist critique', there's a couple 'this was fine but who gives a poo poo', Matt literally believes it's one of the best movies made because he's an insane person, and then the Cum Boys are there to go 'yea it was tight I guess you guys ever see that Love Guru poo poo?' It's literally the most accurate representation of media critique.

Also like 80% of it is them rightly focusing on the media faux-controversy.

Are there any heavy spoilers in the episode? I want to watch the movie first, but I'm also interested in hearing Chapo and friends' thoughts.

Literally all of could have been avoided if Natalie got like, idk, Thought Slime to do that line reading instead of Buck Angel. Or an actual friend who calls her out for doing needlessly antagonistic bullshit making questionable decisions that are hurtful to a significant part of the trans community.

i think the most galling part of this conversation every time it happens, and it is every time it happens, is the pro-Snyder people stating with seemingly no irony or awareness that obviously, if you look at the movie objectively, you must conclude that it is actually a good movie, and the fault lies with you, the viewer, who dislikes it for purely subjective reasons, most likely childish fanboy bullshit reasons. If only you would grow up and recognize that this movie is actually Good, scientifically speaking.

in fact, not only is it Good, scientifically and technically speaking of course, it's Good ideologically speaking. there's absolutely nothing wrong with this superman movie and if you don't recognize that well i'm sorry zack snyder hurt your fee fees

Dislike his movies all you want, I'm just sick of being implicitly accused of having horrible politics and morals because I like some of his movies.
