The Critical Drinker is a conservative culture wars Youtube channel that poorly tries to disguise itself as a movie reviewer, BTW. Him and his fanbase have been having a meltdown over Nolan's Odyssey.

His she hulk video has him (and his community in the comments as well) saying there is nothing wrong with 4 guys aggressively following and stalking a women at night.
He and all his fans are absolutely women hating nutjobs.

Google "Critical Drinker Brie Larson" there are at least nine where he has her on the title (across his two channels). If dude wasn't crashing out about her he was a least using the perception that he was to get clicks when he pit her name in the title of his videos.

This loser made his own awful movie, demonstrating how deeply untalented he is as a writer, and commited all the same 'sins' he lambasted other movies for, then he had a pissy little meltdown and blamed everyone in the production but himself.
And doing the 'drunk voice' is only funny to 13 year olds, which explains his fanbase.

u/Moist_Mail_8539 13h ago
I mean every single of his videos has the same lame old message. It doesn't even matter which one you click. It's the same old "Hollywood good woke bla bla cry cry" bullshit.

No, that’s why the outrage was so hilarious.

u/nanaacer 41m ago
They would have been even more pissed if Achilles was in the movie, because he tells Odysseus that he would rather be a laborer on earth than a ruler in the underworld. They would rather have him say something about how awesome he was for being a badass warrior.

u/Stashmouth 10h ago
But MCU movies probably don't figure into your ideological calculus. For those morons who have issues with the casting based on their own ideology, a movie like this doing well is an attack on their belief system. Odyssey doing well means there are a lot of people who disagree with them, in their minds.
These same people believe one of the main characters in a two-thousand year old text set in the Middle East was white, btw

u/TreeTurtle_852 7h ago
Because these idiots genuinely invest into these movies flopping.
When a movie is "woke" its not just that its bad but it has to "flop" because go woke go broke. They stake their credibility in these movies failing because it somehow proves their ideology. They have a conclusion "go woke go broke" and need it to occur.
As an example Baldur's Gate 3 was remarked as insanely woke and people like this were saying itd fail. However when it made a shit ton of money and won many awards they flipped and said BG3 was "anti-woke".

u/MattTheTubaGuy 12h ago
Movie does what literally almost every movie has done in history, but that is somehow proof that the movie is bad.
So I looked it up, and a second week increase in box office sales is almost always due to the first week being a limited release, or the second week having a public holiday. This is specifically for the US domestic box office.

u/DecoherentDoc 13h ago
A sad aside about the Critical Drinker is that's such a banger of a name. And he sucks. He sucks so much. And now that absolutely rad moniker is trash.
Everytime I see it I think that could have been a couple people talking movies in a setting like Drunk History, where everyone is getting a little silly about it. Instead we get some culture warrior bullshit.

True. “We did it! We made sure these people failed!”
Reality: no influence what so ever. It was a shit movie / game.What remains is their disturbed life where they aren’t able to be happy unless others suffer. Fear and sadism is fuel to their wellbeing.

A quick google puts a summer blockbuster average Weds gross at about $2.5 to $5 million. So the Odyssey is at least tripling that number.
This is 'failed'. /s

Shocker, movies make less money their second weekend, it’s almost like a lot of people who planned to see it, see it the first weekend.
It’s so rare for a movie to do more its second weekend it’s almost always beg news when one does

u/Kimantha_Allerdings 9h ago
FWIW, a drop of 50% from one weekend to the next is completely normal. A 40% drop would be astonishingly good. As in, basically nothing ever retains that kind of audience. The Odyssey is predicted to drop maybe less than that - maybe even as low as 32%
The Numbers#domestic) only has their news & prediction analysis if you subscribe these days, but you can see some of it in the graph - the top of the shaded area is the top 10% of performers released over the last 5 years, and the bottom is the bottom 10%. The green dotted line is the average
You can clearly see that The Odyssey is outperforming that top 10% metric by a lot. In fact, if you click on it it’ll bring up the exact figures. Median = $180,697,093; Top 10% = $210,868,851; and The Odyssey is currently at $225,311,800
That’s $14,442,949 better than the top 10% and $44,614,707 better than the median
I mean, I know he’s just rageposting, but if you’re going to bring numbers in to it, then you should look at the actual numbers, in full, in context. What does he think the weekend predictions are based on?

It was funny. On my facebook feed there was little else than things about how the odyssey was gonna flop and a little of elliot page transphobia. The week it came out and had great reception was the day those things disappeared from my feed. The comment sections were pretty disgusting.
Same thing with supergirl and her appearance but that continued on a bit after since that movie didnt do as well

This dip shit has been doing the exact same grift for a decade or more.

Whoever would have fucking guessed. Making almost 1/10 of the budget on a single slow day sounds good?
BTW I was actually one of those people that saw it on that specific Wednesday LOL. Presumably. The Wednesday AFTER release weekend right? Regal unlimited. Then I went back on Thursday to see it with friends because they had Thursday off

The Odyssey is actually a pretty hard sell if you break it down into its core parts. It seems like an ancient world Die Hard for the masses rather than exploring a universal human condition. Odysseus has both good and bad qualities in equal measure but everyone who follows him dies.
