That moment you realize if they had adapted the original flashpoint story we could've seen Amber Heard get decapitated

Ezra Miller is a tripple threat actor. B&E, assault, and cult leader.

Funny how every review of Hogwarts Legacy had to come with an eight paragraph disclaimer about how they didn't morally support the author in the project, yet they don't mention anything about Ezra Miller in their reviews of the Flash

I absolutely love that Critical Doggo has his own webcam

Its honestly crazy Ezra Miller plays in The Flash after all the shenanigans he did

I’d like to know why Ezra Miller, a confirmed criminal still has his role as the Flash, when Jonathan Majors was dropped from EVERYTHING over allegations with no evidence, and stop saying it’s because the Flash was already filmed, because Johnny Depp was already finished filming fantastic beasts, and they still dropped him from the movie because of allegations with no evidence.

Is the movie gonna explain why Supergirl looks absolutely nothing like Supergirl?

The reviews are in and just like we said none of the "critics" are saying anything about the star being a child groomer or him getting drunk and beating on women, or even thr fact that he runs a cult, nope just "What a triumph for DC and WB!"

The only reason people are gonna watch the movie is because of Michael Keaton being back as Batman.

I can never trust early reactions because it's people that are usually ass kissers.

Imagine everything Ezra has done and still respecting his pronouns in a review.

If you're wondering why Jonathan Majors got thrown under the bus while Ezra Miller gets a pass, it's because Ezra is doing what everyone else in Hollywood is doing...

I’m not watching that movie period bro. I don’t like to watch groomers on screen

The fact that Mr. Miller is not in jail is beyond belief. The fact that Mr. Miller is employed and there are people actually watching (thereby, putting money in his pockets) leads me to believe society is doomed.

I have the same level of excitement for this movie as The Critical Doggo, who is fast becoming my favorite co-host.

The Doggo has the right idea. Why bother with all this woke shit when you can just lie on a comfortable bed and sleep.

0:08 Professional Critics are a joke and they cannot be trusted with their shilling that panders to them, not the audience.

The entire appeal/selling point is Michael Keaton as Batman. No one would care if it was just a regular Flash film.

I won't give a penny of my hard-earned money to a project involving child groomer Ezra Miller. It shows just how debaucherous and despicable Hollywood truly is allowing him to continue with this movie.

It's astounding how they'll forgive/overlook some but totally condemn others. Ezra Miller. Okay? Gina Carano. No?

Hot take: I think Ben Affleck was a great casting for Batman. He was just screwed over by the script.

Tom is actually correct, you guys are the movie critics people trust. This whole corner of youtube has emerged because the traditional media has completely forsaken any credibility. I watch the drinker to figure out what to watch with my wife and friends on movie night.

Johnny Depp, Johnathan Majors, and Gina Carano all fired over either allegations or tweeting something the studio didn’t like…yet Ezra miller is out here after committing multiple crimes and still has a career 🙄

"Can you define professional movie critics?" Thank you! Who are those people? I trust you guys much more than faceless paid "professionals"

I'm never going to see another anything with Ezra, and I suspect my life won't be lacking.

The flash movie will be out soon take your kids, Ezra Miller loves kids!

I’ve heard that they don’t even know why it’s really called the flash because its more like a Keaton Batman movie than anything…

I am about as excited to see Ezra Miller's movie as Critical Doggo is

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was really good as the Comedian in The Watchman. He would be perfect as Thomas Wayne, or if they did a Batman Beyond, an old Bruce Wayne.

These reviews and the way they're worded. It warms my heart. "The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning." Terry Pratchett.

My interest in the Flash is kind of low even with Michael Keaton. I despise Ezra Miller. They didn't recast Cavill as Superman but they are keeping Miller, Levi, Momoa, and Amber Turd. I do not give two shits about this supergirl in pajamas.

When I was a kid we used to love superheroes. Now the superheroes love kids….

I felt like a child again held captive by Ezra Miller.

Exactly how critical is the doggo?

I really don’t understand the hype behind this movie, ik Keaton is returning but who cares? It’s dc, this universe has failed every fan at any given point. Marvels falling off, that doesn’t mean dc is gonna rise, what is wrong with y’all? The superhero era is ending guys…. Most people will see this movie as trying to be the next Spider-Man No way home, but with the lack of world building…

They should have saved "let's get nuts" for the squirrel girl movie

I just want to take a moment to thank the Critical Doggo for his excellent commentary.

I agree with AZ, I would have loved to have seen Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Flashpoint Batman. Why else would they make him Thomas Wayne in BVS for all of 10 seconds.

I have to admit, you guys nailed it. I had zero interest in this until Keaton popped up on the screen. I was suddenly 17yrs old again, in full Nostalgia mode, and remembering a much cooler movie (for the time) than this could ever be. But, thankfully, it wasn't enough for me to waste my money or time until it starts streaming for free.

The dog camera is great😅

As excited as I am to see Michael Keaton as Batman again, definitely agree that Jeffrey Dean Morgan should be Thomas Wayne Batman in this movie, with maybe a brief cameo by Michael Keaton. Otherwise, Michael Keaton Batman’s reasons for wanting to destroy his own timeline are much weaker. Huge miss by DC/WB.

I dont mind them changing things when it comes to adaptations, for example having Tony Stark create Ultron instead of Hank Pym, at least when it doesn't change the point of the story. The point of the story of Ultron was to show that AI is dangerous if left unchecked and the insecurities of its creator can be what ultimately causes it to go rogue. The point of Flashpoint is to show that one little change in the timeline can make heroes into villains and villains into heroes. It is meant to put it into perspective that Bruce had to be Batman, because he was the only one who could carry the code of no killing, and we see that is true when Thomas starts blowing bad guys away. We get to see Wonder Woman and Aquaman without the leadership of Batman and Superman and how they lose their way. This flashpoint just looks like "Oh yeah if Barry's mom doesnt die the only difference is Kara's not around to kill Zod and Bruce looks older."

I'm actually convinced that the character and attitude of a superhero film actor plays a huge role in the perception of the movie's viewing pleasure.

There is an alternative universe version of this film where Jeffery Dean Morgan is Thomas Wayne, Cavill is Superman and liteally anyone else as The Flash

The Critical Doggo has exactly the right attitude toward this movie.

I want Jim caviezel Batman. He’d be great. I was just thinking Batman watching him in “person of interest”

"Say hello to my little friend" is what geriatric Tony Montana says when he has to urinate during the night

It pisses me off that we aren't getting a accurate version of Flashpoint. Especially since the Arrowverse also fucked it all up. I mean, how could fans not be on board with what could have been. Flash accidentally creates a world where Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Aquaman (Jason Mamoa) are at war after Wonder Woman kills Mera (Amber Herd gets killed, thats a big thumbs up for many DC fans i'm sure.) So Flash looks for Batman finding this worlds Batman is Thomas Wayne (Jefferey Dean Morgan, great casting for violent Batman.) He also gets help from Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Shazam (Zachary Levi.) We could have had a version of the resistance be made of other characters from the Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey so maybe Harley, Boomerang and Canary, perhaps even led by Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) just like in the comic. Henry Cavil could have reprised his Superman role. Deathstroke could have shown up again. Ocean Master and Black Manta could return to be on Aquaman's side in the war. I know that many fans disliked Snyder's films, disliked certain actors and disliked the general direction of the DCEU. But as a film that is not tied down by the events of previous films, which if it remained true to the comic already has a brilliant story and has all the pieces in place. HOW DID THEY FUCK THIS UP???

If the DCEU was done properly, the Flash Point story would have been a refreshing, two part movie.

Sounds to me like Flash will be an all time classic, it's getting reviews similar to Thor Love and Thunder which as we know was the Citizen Kane of the MCU.

I look at that thing they're getting to play Supergirl and I'm instantly turned off to this movie. This is in addition to my not wanting to support Ezra Miller in any possible way. Can we just have men and women in movies now, instead of these androgynous weirdos?

The relationship between Miller and Iron Eyes, which began in 2016 when Miller was aged 23 and Iron Eyes was aged 12,

Ezra Miller: "Prepare to get flashed!"

"Remember when you were grooming that girl and held her parents at gunpoint? It was me, Barry! I kept microdosing you with LSD and propping up stolen weapons so that you'd never win that game of Monopoly!"

Keaton without Burton directing and Elfman scoring is pointless to me. It’s not the same Batman, who cares?

“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire How can anyone go to see a movie where the actor playing the main character is a criminal in real life? He has done multiple heinous things: disorderly conduct, strangulation, second degree assault. burglary, violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs... He's supposed to be a hero to kids now? It's absurd. I mean look at this guys rap sheet... I don't even know why this guy is not in jail or a mental hospital? And, I am not calling him, "They". He is a man. Our culture has to be somewhat sick to enrich and idolize a person like this. I love movies and I wish DC and Warner brothers well but this is just disgraceful.

The Flash runs so fast he couldn’t be arrested for his grooming and molestation of underage kids.

WB is hoping The Flash won't... choke

"Can you define 'professional movie critic?'" Person who is paid to, or is granted access to exclusive Hollywood content, to give glowing reviews to terrible Hollywood productions.

Ezra Miller is the real life reverse flash

I’ll put it like this, The way the flash is set up is like if after Captain America Civil War, instead of Tom getting a solo movie, they did No Way Home, all the heart and buildup is gone where the studio had no faith in Tom holland on his own, so the studio relies on Tony stark and the other Spider-Men to carry a lackluster plot. This is why I can’t get behind people hyped for the Flash that also hate most of what the DCEU has put out in the last 7 years, y’all literally see a Batman action figure and lose your minds…

Az said exactly what I've been saying about Flashpoint Batman. Bring in Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne. I want more Flashpoint Batman.

The animated Flashpoint and the comic are epic! This film is just an excuse to erase the castings and the foundation that Snyder established, which Zack had set up to tell all of these epic stories if necessary for other directors. WB keeps trying to erase Snyder and it's messing up all other sectors of their execution. It's wild watcthing the lengths they've gone to, all while undoing themselves.

Another out of context line read is from season two of The Mandalorian when Boba Fett first appears saying “I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe” and assuming our monkey brains couldn’t process that, followed it up with “was something my father told me”. 🙄 I know most you have simped for Mando’s second season, but you have to admit that was bad.

PS: if you want the movie to die, remind people about Ezra’s “behavior” and *incessantly show them what he did.* Don’t let people forget that he is a child molesting psychopath.

F superhero movies, sick of the entire concept

I can't believe Michael Keaton brought his Batman back for this.....

If i wanted to see Ezra Miller i would go down the part and watch guys giving out candys to the kids

The Critical Doggo summed it up perfectly.

" inventive storytelling" said about a movie that could basically be called "Batman: No Way Home" unironically

Any chance the Critical Doggo(s) will be in Rogue Elements? Maybe as an extra walking in a park or just chillin' in the background in the house of one of the characters? (I haven't read it yet, so I'm not 100% if that's feasible)

im a huge fan the critical drinker, your stuff is genuinely hilarious. best wishes from ireland

I just watch your short form videos, first time seeing the critical doggo Love the new addition to the discutions

They didn’t want to do Thomas Wayne Batman because they didn’t have the balls to show Batman shooting people

"You got a 70 year old Batman doing things he couldn't do in the 80s..." Me: You mean like turn his head?

It could be a great movie, even one of the best ever. And I want to see Keaton back as Batman. But there's no way I will be giving Warners or any other company a single cent to watch any movie that includes Ezra Miller.

I'm pretty confident that this movie... will be a flop!

Concept of two Barry Allen's is very well done? IT'S BEEN DONE A BUNCH OF TIMES

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Super-Ma'am.

We know who they won't mess with Ezra it's a political agenda currently also that need the money from this film.

"Flash 2023 is a dazzling spectacle of speed, action and humor that will leave you breathless. The movie delivers on its promise of a thrilling adventure with stunning visuals, witty dialogue and a charismatic cast. The plot is engaging and full of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. Flash 2023 is the best superhero movie of the year and a must-see for fans of the genre." - ChatGPT (My prompt: "create superlative short review about new Flash 2023 movie")

"What the fuck is this piece of shit?"- Joe Pesci

Re Supergirl- that's Sasha Calle, who hasn't done many roles outside of her stint on the soap opera Young and the Restless. So she has no vfx experience (and barely any full length film experience). Sure, she might manage a good performance anyway, but that kind of resume has not worked out well for other franchises lately, like Moses Ingram in Kenobi, or much of the RoP cast.

I was a huge fan of the Snyderverse myself, and I was very upset to hear that they weren't going to let Snyder do his last film with Darkseid. I was also happy to hear that Michael Keaton would be dawning the cape again. However, I wanted Keaton to be Batman either in his own film, or in a Batman Beyond scenario where we can see him as a grizzled, old, bitter man teaching Terry to become the next Batman. Instead, they shat on all those ideas, by literally destroying the Synderverse and dangling Michael Keaton as an olive branch to convince me to buy tickets to watch the destruction of the DC universe I already enjoyed on the big screen. I'm just not sure I can do it. I want to see Keaton back in the Batsuit, but not as a celebration of destroying what the Synderverse was building, because I can assure you what comes next is going to be utter trash. Bring Tim Burton back and let him do his third film in his trilogy for crying out loud.

"It's the best superhero movie since Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania!"

3:12 their contempt for 'emotion' is odd; are we not supposed to *feel* ?

I'm so glad you and Mauler work on this together, but Mauler when are you coming back with your videos?

"This is a bastardization of Flashpoint!" Can you bastardize something that was utter trash in the first place? Flashpoint was just Geoff Johns stroking his own ego, as evidenced by the constant revisiting of the story in comics, television, animation and now this.

After seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Bruce’s Dad, I instantly thought how cool it would be to see him as the alternate Batman in Flashpoint, even the new 52 version. Sadly the wrong people were left in charge of the films. They were after all going to do a Marvel and kill off all the main male characters. Only thing I like about Snyder was his casting for most, and how Batman looked and how brutal a fighter. Rest, too dark an Martha!! AZ was spot on about beyond and Thomas Wayne

I hope George Clooney's Batman makes an appearance!

As much as I wouldn’t mind seeing Keaton in that role again, I won’t subject myself to watching Ezra Miller.

“The logic of it is kinda ridonculous”. ? The flash runs so fast that he time travels back in time and changes the course of history… “logic” flew out the window a long time ago, Tom Connors.

Ezra Miller #1: "Prepare for trouble!" Ezra Miller #2: "And make it double!" Michael Keaton: "Nuts, am I right?"

Amazing how some people can criticize and shit all over a movie without even seeing it and without any context and just hating for the sake of it. Hilarious!

Drinker and co. thank you so much for existing and being able to string together meaning using your words. I miss this, it used to be so much more commonplace, sure not everyone was going to be Roeper - but the industry of "reviews" as a whole has become clinically braindead. This applies to reviews of all entertainment media products: film, video games, apps etc. The point is now no longer to share an informed opinion with others prior to their ability to experience something, now it's a showroom of the greatest bullshit to try and convince you that you need to spend money on something that is utter shite. Also: I don't support child predators, so on principle alone I will never see this film.

How can Az sit there and talk about how the film could have worked before he has even seen the film? Theorise, sure, but don't make statements like that about something you haven't watched. It may surprise you, give it a chance

As long as it makes the soy fem-boys crying, it'll get good reviews

Babyface scratching his back with a kitchen knife was disturbing enough.

Hi, Drinker! Liked and shared. When do you guys have these Livestreams? Keep up the great content. Thanks!

I haven't paid as much attention in the past, but from what I remember critics have always bagged on DC movies more than marvel. So the fact that they are positive about this makes me curious. I'll still wait for public opinion to come out before seeing it myself
