Yes it did liar.

The premier of the Acolyte had 11.1 million views. The premier of Lanterns has had over 20 million views.

Over 20 is close to double 11 if my math is right.

Which numbers would you like to compare instead? Because Lanterns is absolutely smoking the acolyte in all of them.

OK, so cite your sources


Nah, no one has time to go thru his endless amounts of videos for a movie that's "trash" lol. Just because he changed his tune once presale data became available, doesn't mean they weren't trashing it and saying it would flop because of "OMG, it has so many dislikes on YouTube"

It was going good there for a while. Some good discussion from those that like and dislike the show. Then the usual suspects show up. It's like they wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and say "You can convince them to dislike it! You can do it!" Just weird behavior.

Reading comprehension 101. There’s a difference between hoping it fails and predicting it fails. Or is that too nuanced for you to understand. And stop saying they predicted it would fail when you don’t have the receipts. I would say one or two probably did, but the vast majority said it was gonna be a train wreck of a movie, ( it is, if you compare it with the source material ) but still because of the reason cited above, it was going to make money.

Smoking? Hold off on those claims. Wait till they all come in and then do the side-by-side comparison.

I don't really care what you think. You're some random on tigerdroppings. I don't have to prove shite to you. I'm not trying to change your mind.

They want most things to fail because that's their business strategy. Even if they did like lanterns or the odyssey, they’re not allowed to say it because that's not what their audience wants to hear.

As she said, there's some nuance to it. She described Hal as having some racist tendencies. That's not the same as being an outright total racist. For example, may say some things that can come off as very offensive or demeaning. Well intentioned, potentially, but still comes off wrong. That's why she gave the example of the "midwestern Huxtable" comment. Hal clearly didn't mean anything bad by it.

There is no nuance to it. She's transferred her hatred of older white men onto Hal. What racist tendencies is she or you talking about? The Midwest Huxtables comment wasn't anything. Who did it offend?
quote:

“They’re like, why you making him a racist? No, I’m making him a 60-year-old dude. I think that he is in the way that 60-year-old White dudes from the south can be, but wouldn’t think they are, because they golf with a black dude who they f**king love and would leave money in their will to.”

You see, Hal's a racist just like Southern white men. They don't know they're racist but they are. Even if they golf with you and leave you in the will, still a racist. Isn't Hal Jordan from Coast City, California? The surf guy is like men of a certain age from the South, see, because white man. She doesn't like white men, and Hal is the stand-in for that. It's a generational and racial resentment problem that's she's internalized and vomited onto Hal Jordan. There's no nuance to being an angry, racist black chick.

We see it on the screen, we hear it come out of her mouth. Don't believe your lying eyes, I guess.

Just like with Acolyte they’re arguing that the show isn’t the show.

This has nothing to do with that, so why do you even introduce it? You’re just saying stupid stuff and I’m calling you out on it by asking for your receipts. You’re a coward and you don’t deliver. That says more about you than anything else.

I’m guessing you don’t have the receipts on this one either? Because you could not be more wrong. I don’t care how hard you believe that’s the case, they’re just tired of people screwing up there cherished stories with modern political bullshite. It really isn’t that hard to comprehend.

I hadn’t seen others already posted the interview from above. But it only gets worse. There are other interviews where they expand on making this about modern day politics, racism, etc.

I’m tired of these motherfricking tourist projecting and interjecting themselves into greater works and they can ever imagine. The only reason these assholes are sitting at the table is because of DEI. They whine about not being included, but then they show themselves to be completely incompetent. Which is why they’re not included in the first place. They’ll talk about representation and proportionally except when it comes to the NBA. Or the NFL. Funny how that model doesn’t work for them anywhere else.

It’s what they always do, pervert icons and history to the point where its audience abandons it then it’s regulated to the trash bin of history. It’s erasing cultural touchstones, it’s in their DNA.
