@Stigma man, the Paddington movie is about the most male-friendly movie that was done in the past 20 years.
Movies nowadays are rabid against men. There not a modicum of pro-male sentiment in any of the latest movies I've watched.
This is literally nazi-level propaganda.
@Typo-MAGAshiv It's not bad, it's just myopic and anaemic. It's middle shelf pre-packaged values. "Be nice!" Cheers, Paddington.
He makes nothing new
Come on now! I understand archetypes and narrative structures are universal and he employs them for his ideas, but nothing new?
These things are easy to love and easy to reach for. Young men need only be encouraged to dream.
Absolutely, but there in lies the evil of attention grabbing, nutrient free, modern slop! Why wrestle with your place amongst these ideas and ideals when YouTube Shorts go bbrrrrrr
You’re not wrong, but it’s only easy because we’re aware of what it is that is easy in the first place. That Reddit thread shows they don’t even know what they don’t know!
@Stigma Tolkien loved our anglo saxon roots, he loved the lore of the Germanic peoples. He makes nothing new, he just breathes fantasy into the old. The archetypes have been there since the dawn of our people, are there in fact in all the sons of the Yamnaya. These things are easy to love and easy to reach for. Young men need only be encouraged to dream.
LOTR films because that’s where it all peaked twenty years ago.
Critical Drinker had a video about how it all peaked with LOTR. he was right.
