The most offensive thing you can do on Twitter is tell the truth.

Imagine making a sequel no one asked for, to a movie no one liked, starring actresses no one likes, and containing a story no one cares about. Then gasping in shock and horror when you find out no one watched it.

Social Media is CANCER... Everyone who uses social media is always afraid of being "CANCELED" .... It's like a dystopian film nightmare come to life.

Disney is giving all our toys to girls and the girls don't even want the toys. It's the weirdest thing ever to happen in cinematic history

Having experienced church culture and academic culture, I can say the people who think I'm going to miss heaven for bad theology are way more tolerant than the ones who think my politics are wrong by the political standards they have at the moment.

You comment was spot on. They can't handle simple truths.

The terms misogynist, homophobe, and racist have been employed so often, by those who want to silence the opposition for criticisms that don't fit those descriptions, that such terms are losing all meaning and seriousness. Not only does throwing those terms around so cavalierly do a disservice to those who actually experience genuine forms of this behavior, but , in the long run, it hurts the crowd who casually throws around these terms. They have trivialized these once serious accusations. The employment of such words has become the political and cultural equivalent of the boy who cried wolf. Hence, such accusations are now failing to silence the opposition.

The cope over this movie flopping has been a sight to behold. I haven’t been called a Nazi for clowning on a movie in years. Takes me back.

I frequent multiple comic shops each week. The ratio of men to women in those shops is not very different than I remember back in the 80's. When 65% of the audience that went to see The Marvels is male and I can pretty much guarantee 90% of the females in the audience were brought along with a guy. The audience for action, sci-fi and comic book movies is by a large number, mostly men.

Bill Burr has a great bit on women not supporting women's basketball.......which reminds me of female led super hero movies......women just don't care-its just not their jam....and that's ok.

The irony is they basically have no choice but to close the door on Captain Marvel the same way the comic was forced to by having Rogue, a character everyone actually likes, take her powers and put her into a coma. The agenda to make Carol relevant has been going on for over 50 years and you'd think they'd have given up long before now.

It feels like the entire world has become a recess playground : just like children, people act like they can't possibly be wrong, unable to take responsibility, own their mistakes, and take on a mindset of growth, in which you acknowledge your mistake and try not to do it again for the sake of others and society. ...You know. Like a REAL adult!

Just the truth. I always thought that they bought both franchises to get the male/boys audience specifically. It makes no financial sense whatsoever to dump this audience they spent so much money to acquire.

I don't even watch many movies these days, but I listen to yall whenever I can because I love how well you verbalize (in real time) how I feel truly feel about so many things. The state of social agendas right now has me wondering which episode of The Twilight Zone I'm in.

Man, I thought you were going to say YT gave you a strike for reviewing the movie. The sad thing is that happening is nowhere beyond the realm of possibility.

I gave up on anything coming out of Disney a while ago. I will never give up on you guys. Keep doing what you do and keep fighting the fight. 👍

I just saw an old quote from Lucas where he also said corporations kill creativity. Like him I take the view that unless you love film, not profit, you have no business being in the film industry. Almost nobody in Hollywood actually cares about film anymore. And THAT's why Hollywood is fucked.

“what’s wrong with being sexy?” - Nigel Tufnel

They’re not interested in making movies “better”. The entire point, from beginning, middle and end is the “inclusion”. Everything else is a distant second.

The numbers don't like. Screaming into the void will not change reality.

You were ABSOLUTELY correct in your statement . No controversy, imo.

If Barbie 2 starred Woody and Buzz from Toy Story in a fast paced action piece riding a horse to a baseball game and then stealing a tank to get Buzz on a rocket, I think it may not do as well as the first movie. And maybe Woody had a pink hat. It's a good pitch if I do say so myself, but it isn't Barbie and investors shouldn't expect as big a return.

Like Jack Nicholson said in that famous film “What if this is As good as it gets?” 😂

There's no logic in Hollywood. Don't even bother trying to find any. 🤭

I'm afraid Twitter is still a cesspool for the most part. Somehow people suddenly lost basic respect and decency, forgot it's another human being, even though maybe never met. But I guess it's been designed to encourage certain behavior, impulsive, combative, and compulsive.

Reddit is even worse. I had the same experience. Someone said that families aren't leaving Disney because of Disney ideology. I said that that wasn't true. My family went to Disney movies and we don't any more. I know many many families that have given up on Disney. So the evidence to me is over 70 people who used to go to Disney movies aren't going to Disney movies. They hit me up with a ton of garbage about LGBTQ+ and a whole other host of comments. When I said I wasn't going to comment my view on those issues, because having an opinion contrary to most of Reddit gets you in trouble. They locked me out. Surprise. Surprise. I guess facts don't matter.

The problem is that we do not even begin to understand the depth of these people’s insanity. They do not comprehend nor accept that men and women are different. We have different bodies, different physical attributes, and we have different interests.

I’ve lost many friends in 2016 due to politics and expressing my opinions about film. When I’ve always been ok accepting those who have differing opinions than my own.

“Thankfully more girls are making comic books.” Lol, why “thankfully?”

100% correct Chris.

It's baffling to me how simple-minded, no nuance people can't understand and differentiate between saying how a product that has a Fanbase with higher percentage of males, and not making remotely interesting for them is misogyny. It's like if they take a brand like Barbie, make it all about Ken, push Barbie aside to make it more "male centric", and when it doesn't work, they'll turn around and blame the failure on the Fans and call them mysandrist. People are dumb, man..... like completely no nuance whatsoever.

calling the movie the unremarkables is *chefs kiss*

Don't let him off the hook bring it up in a very non-aggressive way when you see them😂

The art of arguing, to have a healthy and adult conversation about topics, even if you come from different trains of thought, is a rare good. you can start on a different standpoint and even end the conversation the same way, but you have to be open to talk about it, listen to other perspectives and compare them, articulate your thoughts... Lots of people can´t do this anymore or are unwilling to confront other opinions.

You should be counting your blessings, Chris, your real friends, and the fact the phonies uncloaked themselves finally. The reaction was appropriate. Don't get mad, don't let them rent space inside your head, just block and move on. They don't deserve any time from you, online or in RL. It's happened so many times for so many people, it's sad I know, but it's also human nature, and we shouldn't let it pull us all down. Future's bright.

I liked and shared your posts. People are so dumb. Your tweets were not rage-worthy in the slightest. Simple observations are now controversial? Humanity is doomed.

You can’t use. Logic when debating zealots and drones. Only superior firepower and an Ion Cannon from orbit.

Grace Randolph said the exact same thing about boy and girl brands and you get canceled

Hi guys, I've always liked you both and I respect you're opinion on the films you've both reviewed! plus, its saved me money on seeing bad films and also challenged me watch film I wouldn't normally watch. :)

In life you have 2-3 true friends who have your back, the others will throw you under the bus if they have something to gain

They’re opportunists, Chris. It’s people looking to step on your head to elevate their profile/identity. It’s shameful.

I've had a couple of great exchanges with Chris over the years on Twitter, it's been a while and I'm sure he won't remember, but I remember one of them was on how angry women online were at the news that Peter Capaldi had been cast as the Doctor, and how the women were upset because Capaldi was too old and not cute. I remember complaining to Chris that geek stuff was being framed more and more as something for women and girls (because no one in the media attacked or insulted the women complaining like they did whenever men complained about anything especially regarding a woman's looks), and how annoying it was, because the Tumblr fangirls complaints were treated as valid, whereas, in reality, the Doctor only started getting younger and more handsome with the reboots, and Capaldi was a much more genuine casting choice, at least physically. Chris agreed in the most reasonable way, while also acknowledging how many women had gotten into the hobby, and did it without making either me, or them, sound like crazy people, or invalidating our stances. It's galling to see you guys being attacked, despite how reasonable you both have been about this -- especially when it's clear you're actually trying to help the brand/genre succeed -- and yet you're still being dismissed as hateful. I don't even know Chris Gore, and from just the few exchanges I had with the man, I know how well meaning and passionate he is about this stuff, so it sucks to see people who've known him personally just throw him over for a dopamine hit. He was always the best thing about G4's Attack of the Show (Olivia Munn's looks notwithstanding heh), and to see you guys being dumped on makes me even more depressed for the future of popular entertainment, and art in general, because just like how superhero comics propped up the comics industry for so long, allowing indies to thrive, I don't know what's going to happen to film in general since these studios seem no longer interested in doing what's worked in the past, just to appease people on Twitter, and in their offices, who care more about their pointless agenda than stopping the tide of dismal failures.

Fact is this movie was a dumpster fire. It was delayed over and over and over again because it was SO BAD they couldn't release it. This is just another nail in an already overly secured coffin.

Alan Ng for Supreme Leader!

You're statement is factual. People don't like facts when floating in a fantasy world. We are your friends anyway C&A. Bravo Zulu.

And on this day Sony said to Marvel cinema, “Hold my drink” and released the trailer of Madam Spider. We got generic bad guy Spider Man and another team no one cares about.

Instead of going out to a modern movie tonight, I watched Airplane! Would you like some light reading? Here’s a pamphlet of…. Ahhh, if you told that joke today, you would be cancelled

When truth is attacked, where must we go next?

Respect for honest opinions and if friends disagree it shouldn't change the friendship.

They don’t want to fix it😔. Like you said just the facts. For those who can’t handle the truth. Sorry.

I am glad never bothered with Twitter / X and never will.

Been saying it since the movie first released that The Marvel’s was going to be a massive box office disaster for Disney. I’m not seeing this film no matter how much they try and guilt trip me into watching said movie. Lol

i love how their logic is: ok every movie makes less money, we insult the male audience and ignore the females that also hate the films. this has repeated for over 10 years now. .... insult them again! its like how movie reviews used to always say "THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!" every time. except now its "record low at the box office"

Keep it up fellas!! You’re doing great work!

Great tweets boys. Way to kick arse!

To find out who your real friends are, just tell them the truth. They'll either leave or respect you.

Spot on

They can say whatever they want......numbers don't lie.

💯👍✌️I will only go to movies you recommend. Thx Chris!!

Just had the same type of conversation about the current political climate. I've come to the conclusion that we're all doomed. The social media bot mentality has fully permeated the collective zeitgeist. Everyone walks around, ready to jump down each other's throats. To week of mind and character to have actual discourse. In short come on Comet! ☄️

They made 1 billion with a gender swapped Marvel. If he had been comic accurate probably woulda made 3 b from now and millions in merch.

Being honest and reasonable is hard to find on X/Twitter. That's one of the reasons I'm no longer on Twitter.

Agreed, always VERY interesting finding out who your real friends are

Rage Tourism , whole lot of people need their victim batteries charged daily. it is not just that the general public have left the building , they are not even on the same street anymore, the Marvels is down some no go alley and smells like a hobo's bathroom. and the twitterartsy now only represent that same smell.

Im a 27 year old woman. I like star wars, and im more of a DC fan (but mostly for batman), i love video games, i always have since i was a child. That being said, these are all male dominated areas, and thats ok. I still find contnent i enjoy out of each of those areas without having to change the source to fit me. Thats the beauty of free market; theres something for EVERYONE to enjoy. These CEOs and writers that buy these IPs, that THEY didnt create, have to learn to respect what came before and stop trying to change it for themselves because theyre bitter about something. Bring back GREAT entertainment

Chris Gore made the same comments and criticisms about Disney’s Star Wars Trilogy, The Marvels is not his 1st time, so how on God’s blue Earth did the fake friends in his life miss that the 1st time around? Chris’ remarks on Disney’s Star Wars is what made him popular online to begin with!

I'm starting to think that the Two Minutes of Hate maybe more relevant today than the very much known surveillance topic in 1984

You are right about the Marvels - it IS a chick flick in the skin of a formerly boy's franchise. It has all the markings of a chick flick geared towards adolescent girls - it has jewelry, girl power friendship and cats in it. They don't dare to advertise it as just a chick flick though, because that limits the target audience and they already spent 300m on it - so they try confuse us with their marketing.

This sounds a whole hell of a lot like what happened to the He-Man toy brand, they shifted focus to She-Ra and killed the brand as a whole

I think you are right!

Most friends are either maliciously phony or very fair weather.

8:15 there will always b another set of jangling keys. . . . . . So sadly true

Don't feel bad Chris. I've never met you, Gary, Drinker or 1/4 black and I'm closer to you guys than people I've known all my life!! I'd rather have no friends than 20 fakes. Keep up the good fight!

Henry Cavill never calls fans toxic ..these marvels people does

I just watched a documentary tonight called "Rise of the Superheroes" which came out in 2018, well before the noticeable and pathetic decline in MCU movies. ETA - Ant-Man 2 came out the year before Captain Marvel.

Women and other activist groups just want to tell you these types of things need to exist, insist on it, just as some moral victory even though they have no intention of supporting it. These are basically entertainment versions of the WNBA. You should like a product that doesn't appeal to you on principle. If not you're an enemy to the cause and they'll never shoulder the blame for the product's failure because supporting it morally, to them, is even better than supporting it financially.

You said it Gore. It's show business. Not show friends

We need Alan on Open Bar!

Great rant!

HOW DARE YOU STATE THE OBJECTIVE TRUTH

It's controversial in the way it's controversial to tell your wife to relax or to ask why a women's league needed to be created in the first place if men can just dominate it.

How in the hell did we create sooo many fragile people? They must laterally go through each and every day terrified of wrong footing themselves and themselves falling victim to the Borg! Or perhaps they are literally so dumb that they haven't figured it out yet! I GREATLY appreciate challenging conversations and exchanges of ideas and beliefs. Its how I grow and test whether what I believe is accurate! Why in the hell would I want to have spent ANY amount of my life believing something that isn't true!!! You only have to look at their 'popular' Influencers. They laterally 'learn' nothing but insults, straw men arguments and ad hominems! The level at which it is seemingly sooo easy to manipulate human thought is frightening!

Marvel lost there creative drive when the infinity gauntlet saga wrapped up. Been nothing but downhill since then.

You guys cant just go around making excellent points using sound reasoning and a lifetime of experience! HERESY

They say, we are going to make this female. Then somebody points that out, and they get mad?

Its not about getting the last word...its about making sure the last word is their own

they put it in the comics TO put it in the movies and then point to the comic to legitimize it. Its a shell game

The single most cowardly and scumy thing a person can do is to rip you a new a****** on social media. But then block you from responing. Nothing reveals your character more than that!

business as usual Gary and Drinker got it also

When i read Marvel comics as a teen, the Kree vs Scrulls was usually off frame, mysterious, and interesting. It wasnt done to death like Krypton. The movies have killed the mystery.

I can see light

I’m a nobody but I definitely publicly agreed with you. I’m a lifelong female fan of “boy franchises “. I hate this new crap.

The thumbnail of this video is so good I’d buy it if they sold prints.

Alan drops so much wisdom in this video.

Chocolate is clearly superior, vanilla is too vanilla(pun intended).

If a film production company decided to turn Jane Austen novels into men’s movies, would it be sexist to criticize such a stupid move?

It’s interesting to see this. I’m very sorry it happened to you, but I’m glad you got to see it first hand. THIS is what anti-wokeness is about. It’s not about bigotry and it never has been. It’s about objecting to people who insincerely espouse progressive values as a mask for their own narcissism. Their motivation is rarely kindness, it’s ego, and if you challenge anything they say they will devour you. No one believes the people who say “I don’t have a problem with female characters,” because it’s easier to believe they’re lying. But the mob comes for everyone eventually. They’re quite literally looking for a reason.

Social media has become Orwell’s 2 minutes of hate

Turning a BILLION dollar franchise into a MILLION dollar franchise and still have a job???

I am a 40 year old white guy. I don’t go watch movies made for 12 year old girls. I’ve never watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 👖
