Alien Romulus - Critical Drinker Reviews (www.youtube.com)

So I have to admit, I was cautiously optimistic about this one. The trailer promised a stripped down, back to basics approach to the Alien franchise, with a fresh new cast and a talented horror director at the helm. But does it live up to the promise?

Did not expect to see people share Critical Drinker on Lemmy

His gruff no nonsense reviews appeal to me, and I've never been disappointed by anything stamped with drinker recommends

That's the entire reason I watched the menu and it was amazing

My impression is that he mostly makes money off calling things woke (spreading The Message/forced diversity/Mary Sue/cancel culture/etc.). The Menu is great though.

Yeah I'd just put that down to no nonsense reviews.

If a media property spends more energy on politics then the story/writing itself that's a reasonable bit of critical feedback.

He celebrates empowerment when it's motivated properly in the story, like his love note to Arcane. https://youtu.be/W3h6Pszege4&t=481
