I wanted that movie to be good. I wanted the neck beard misogynists who were birching about it since it was announced to be wrong. They weren’t wrong, that movie was a shitpickle.
Anon envies the AVGN's power

The neckbeards said it was bad because it had women as the main cast
The movie was bad because it was made bad, not because of the cast
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 year ago
See I always feel like there’s nuance buried in the way people treat neckbeards and their ideologies.
I didn’t think it was gonna be bad because it was a female cast. I thought it was gonna be bad because of the women they cast.
Them being women is not my problem but I seem to get lumped in with the incels because if you criticize a woman you’re an incel/neckbeard

Quick reminder that this cast went to hospital for dying kids in ghostbuster uniforms.
You really gonna stand by that?

It was indeed an awful movie, but not for the reasons the misogynists gave.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Why did they disparage it?
Excuse me as I rant, but, outside the movie, has there ever been a woman on AVGN for chuds to look down on? Anyone hoisting the anti-femininity flag and charging at AVGN holds a similar rationale to TERFs, but points their convoluted purity test at misogyny an its exclusion rather than femininity and its expression. What an inane concept.

The new one was good too. I’m glad this turd didn’t kill the franchise.

As a rule SNL alumni are at their best in whacky short-form plain ol’ comedy. There’s exceptions obviously, great actors can come from anywhere after all. But if the main cast had been like Pete Davidson, Bobby Moynihan, and Kenan Thompson it would’ve been just as bad.

You realize the original Ghostbusters was done by SNL alumni, right?
yuri@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I mean, compared to modern SNL though?

The angry video game nerd is a character that kinda lives in the past. He likes mainly 80's and 90's pop culture. He reviews a lot of old and notoriously bad video games. James who plays the AVGN also likes old movies and reviews a lot of them.
I guess the interesting part is that he said he''s not gonna review the 2016 ghostbuster movie and didn't get any baclash for being a chauvinistic patriarch or something.
There was a recent example where a journalist reviewed turning red and said it wasn't for him and gave it a bad score and people went berserk and called him racist and shit and he lost his job and they forced an apology out of him for not liking a movie.

Imagine being an adult who’s paid to give your opinion on movies, do a review of kids movie where you’re not the target audience at all and reference that it’s not for you and you lose you fucking job and are forced to apologise because some batshit crazy people on twitter got upset!
God I love stacking fruit and veg, my opinion of a kids movie not being for me won’t get me fired.

Lol… he didn’t say he disliked the movie, he said the movie sucked because it was based on Asian culture and because of the female lead. He was pretty explicitly racist and misogynist in his review.
VonCesaw@lemmy.world [bot] 1 year ago
I’m not gonna say that his review was ‘racist’ at all, but saying characters that are Asian in an Asian community ‘limiting the appeal of the movie’ and ‘made for the directors immediate friends and family’ is absolutely bananas
And for a review of a movie he wasn’t interested in, why did he need to double down on his review of it
kandoh@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Wasn’t this the guy that gave it a bad score because it was set in 2002 and they didn’t reference the September 11th terrorist attacks?

Ah yes so like Star Trek Discovery for the more unhinged Trek fans.

Angry Video Game Nerd. He made internet videos pre YouTube days about him playing bad retro games. I don’t know what he’s doing nowadays, but one thing for sure is that he’s not going to watch a movie.

Eating and sleeping. Some urination too. Probably even pooping sometimes.
zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
You’re not gonna believe this, but it’s the same things he’s always been doing.
Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
No idea who he is, what movie this may be or why any journalists would care.

old school youtuber, one of the early big names. Got famous trashing on shitty old video games, but also occasionally did movie reviews, especially Monster Madness, in October where he'd review a bunch of horror movies. This is referencing how he said he wouldn't be reviewing the 2016 ghostbusters movie when it was announced. The media didn't really go nuts over him not reviewing it though.
