Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

He lays out in detail how many "woke" movies are highly successful and why and as well as the ones that aren't and how the "anti woke" reviewers are disingenuous in their critiques, such as The Critical Drinker.



Cliffs:

- Reviewers like The Critical Drinker couch valid criticism in culture war, anti-woke bullshit, basically a lot of baiting and riling up their audience. The Critical Drinker in particular he cites several example of and breaks down where he's saying valid things and where he's misconstruing things. He also shows a lot of comments echoing him and spreading divisive rhetoric

- There's shit loads of "woke" movies that are successful but they're conveniently ignored by the anti-woke types. Even some that aren't considered good by most still made shit loads of money. I'm not giving specific examples that he uses in the video because it'd take too long. He cites a lot of data here.

- Yasuke, the black samurai in the new Assassin's Creed was a real person and there's even a painting from the (edit) 1600s that's thought to depict him, and Japanese games have already had him as a character so putting him in a video game isn't even new. He has a lengthy section on this

- He mentions specific examples like the live action Mulan that's been called woke when some of the things she does, she does in the original movie AND there's all sorts of fantastic power in it anyway

- He cites many specific examples, breaks down "woke", and breaks down the meaning of, "go woke, go broke"



My cliffs can't really do it justice. Great watch IMO.

I found majority of movies today are woke dog shit 💩 it’s not worth it. It’s just not the best use of time nor money. 💰 I saw housemaid with a chick recently. It was good. The last few marvel movies were trash. I saw mission impossible. The lack of storytelling and value is astounding.

Bioware is not a movies studio with 20 movies coming out in a year.

Plenty of people like movies that did not perform. Not performing in itself would not be an issue.

I love fight club and the boondocks saints. Some cult movies are great that got a following but not NOC box office. Donnie Dario for example. I liked Stay and revolver.

Movie studios don't have to overcome the monumental hurdle that is using Frostbite to develop a non-FPS 10 or 15 years ago, or losing most of their best devs and resources to bail out Fifa.

Some people like Andromeda or Veilguard or Anthem after all the post-launch work.. But all missed their targets at launch after tortured developments and plenty of bad decisions top to bottom.

Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting

Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk

Elon Musk has hit out at filmmaker Christopher Nolan, claiming the Oscar-winning director has lost “integrity” because of his casting choices.

Nolan is currently in post-production on The Odyssey, his adaptation of the ancient Greek epic by Homer.

The film will feature an all-star cast that includes Matt Damon. Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Mia Goth and Benny Safdie.

Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, who is Black, also reportedly joined the cast. It was reported on social media she has been cast as Helen of Troy.

In response to the news, a user on Musk’s platform X wrote: “Helen of Troy was fair skinned, blonde, and ‘the face that launched a thousand ships’ because she was so beautiful that men started a war over her. Casting choices that make the premise incoherent are admissions that the story was never the point and an insult to the author.”

Doesn't change anything, plenty of strange bed fellows. He's literally quoted and repeated white supremacist talking points and begged Epstein to go to :eek::eek::eek::eek: island, facts > your feelings

Elon actively tried and I guess successfully X-posed woke Dems, including his former Paypal pal Reid Hoffman, in their dealings with Epstein.



Epstein courted a lot of people to to to his Island, especially billionaires. Elon dodged that bullet. For all we know, it was his ex-wife and socialite Talulah Riley who wanted to got to Epstein Island. That's why Elon mentioned her in the emails.

Elon is about as guilty as Jason Calacanis in Epstein dealings.


You're too far in the woke wagon to consider anything else.

You're the one who said "facts > your feelings" but don't consider anything of evidence counter to your point. Ok <lmao> .

Btw, this all reminds me of this meltdown, to which Elon should've been really unpopular. Thing is it actually worked. Disney has course corrected through this whole woke failed experiment.



Facts.
