It's true. I heard that Lupita Nyong'o already had to go find a different job on a different movie.

There's a parallel reality where that happens

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 3 points 30 minutes ago

The Daily Wire is going to get right on that after their IPO.

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 16 points 3 hours ago

She was in the movie for like 1 minute

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

minute thirty if you count both of her roles

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 39 points 6 hours ago

Is this their new thing? They're just insisting that the movie is a flop regardless of evidence?

Or is it like a ragebait/clickbait sort of thing, where they do fake bad reviews in the thumbnail so people click on the video to comment that they are wrong and boost engagement?

[-] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 14 points 3 hours ago

I think its full on hyper-reality. The territory being fully subsumed by their map.

Movie makes over half a billion in the first week.

Go woke and go broke

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 7 points 1 hour ago

r/criticaldrinker take: It would have made 4 billion if it weren't woke. Huge Nolan L

I'm 90% confident this is a real, unironic post that has been posted to that sub. No I will not check.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago

it was like 1.x billion and the dork said wahhh wahhh 2 billion no woke

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but if was not woke they could make 50000 gazillions dollars in the first hour.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 15 points 5 hours ago

It's not really new, I remember seeing an image here made by some chud where they claimed the Horizon video game franchise (which has sold millions of copies) was a failure because it's woke.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 5 points 3 hours ago

Is that the game that is woke because the woman has hair?

The chuds are hating things for all the wrong reasons vol. 1488. Just get a hobby or something.

Fired from what? The movie has already been made

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 1 points 2 minutes ago

Yeah, this is the same as how they insisted Gina Carano (i think that's her name) got "fired" from The Mandalorian. No, she just wasn't brought back. Hell I don't even think they recast her character. Just didn't bring the character back at all. Each season of a tv show, each singular movie, each production is an entirely different contract. They just have no understanding of how these things work and its very frustrating to me as someone in the industry.

Did they photoshop bad reviews? The film made 750million and has good reviews.

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago

the film made 750 mil and it's not even out in China yet, it could concievably double that number

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 27 points 7 hours ago

yes, same reason they love to use ai, they will make up stuff to prove they were right or make themselfs mad

[-] Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net 26 points 8 hours ago

Yes. It’s rated 8.5 on IMDb not 2.2.

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 22 points 8 hours ago

So does the channel depend on viewers never hearing anything about the biggest film this year? Do they know its wrong and simple not care?

[-] pongo1231@hexbear.net 16 points 6 hours ago

Yes. The culture war (alongside capitalist media in general) broke a lot of peoples' brains to the point of them being completely detached from reality.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 23 points 7 hours ago

The whole ”massive black Helen of Troy controversy” only exists in the heads of a handful of racist grifters to begin with, don't think I've ever heard of it anywhere outside of this chud circlejerk.

[-] huf@hexbear.net 22 points 7 hours ago

the low rating is true in their hearts

[-] Noodles4dinner@hexbear.net 22 points 8 hours ago

They made her put all her stuff in a box and security walked her out, i saw it. There were some pens left in her cubicle and we took them because they don't like giving out office supplies anymore.

[-] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 8 hours ago

Homer Cinematic universe except it's directed by @FlakesBongler@hexbear.net
