Anyone who said this movie hates men missed the part where the moral of the story happened. This movie loves men just as much as it loves women #Barbie

In a story about privilege and the the nepotistic fratricidal power dynamics of billionaire families, the one who comes out on top should be the one who made the fewest enemies, the one with the smallest target in their back. With privilege as an underlying theme, it would only make sense that the white man with the good name lucks into power despite their lack of competence. All this, and with Mattsson looking for an American CEO who can act as a puppet for him, there’s one #Succession character that unironically and sincerely makes more sense than all the rest to take over Waystar when you consider the theme of the show.

I make $35 a month on this channel. $35 a month isn’t much at all, is it? But I don’t do it for the money, I do it for my love of film. That’s why I’m pledging $35 a month to ‪@filmjoy‬, the channel that gives us one of the best series on YouTube - #MoviesWithMikey. If you love film, and $35 a month isn’t much to you, please consider supporting their channel on Patreon. Not only are they facing a personally challenging financial time with their home and health, they also deserve the best and make some of the best film analysis content on YouTube. And for $35 a month, the content you get access to on their Patreon is awesome.

A lot of “fans” hate how the #Mandalorian season finale went. I’m working on a larger #starwars video, but here’s my hot take on The Mandalorian Season 3 (SPOILERS AHEAD):

Ever since the sequel trilogy, I’ve heard people complaining about how Star Wars no longer has any good character writing.

#BoKatan starts the season with no dark saber, and no followers because of it. She ends with no dark saber, but a following in spite of it. That’s good character writing.

#DinDjarin starts the season an isolated outcast with no home to return to. He ends the season in isolation, but with a true family and a home of his own. That’s good character writing.

#Grogu starts the season having abandoned the force. He ends the season by saving everyone with the force. That’s good character writing.

#PazVizla starts the season living for his own pride. He ends it dying for the sake of his people. That’s good character writing.

#MoffGideon starts the season as an imperial trying to control and destroy the remnants of Mandalore in order to live on forever. He ends it by having himself and his clones destroyed completely by a remnant of the empire that is controlled by a Mandalorian. That’s good character writing.

This was an excellent season filled with excellent character writing. If you didn’t like it, no shade to you. But it can’t in good conscience be said that Star Wars has lost its ability to tell “character driven stories.” It still does it better than most franchises. Yet, a certain subgroup of fans say it makes “no narrative sense” and that Star Wars has lost its ability to tell good stories (along with blaming Kathy Kennedy every time they spill their coffee).

If Mandalorian Season 3 Finale delivered on what “fans” say has been lacking, and yet they still hate on it, I wonder if it’s not actually the writing they care about.
