This guy has a major Disneybrain/Franchisebrain problem


In the last 6 months the Criticaldrinker has reviewed:

Robyn Hood (talk about low hanging bait), Saw X, The Creator, Expendables, One Piece, Ahsoka, Blue Beetle, Snow White, Gran Turismo, Witcher, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Mission: Impossible, Sound of Freedom, Indiana Jones, Extraction 2, The Flash, The Covenant, The Menu, Across the Spiderverse, The Little Mermaid, Fast X, Queen Cleopatra, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Boiling Point, Peter Pan and Wendy, The Mandalorian, Super Mario Bros., Dungeons & Dragons, John Wick, Shazam: Fury of the Gods

The majority of the reviews here fall into Marvel/Superhero stuff (Spiderverse, Blue Beetle, Guardians of the Galaxy), Franchise (Barbie, Snow White, Peter Pan & Wendy), Generic Action Schlock (Expendables, Mission: Impossible) and Star Wars (Ahsoka, Mandalorian).

Here are some shows TheCriticalDrinker doesn't seem to be aware of: Warrior, Severance, Silo, Babylon Berlin, Pachinko, The Peripheral (unfortunately cancelled), Dopesick, Slow Horses, Station Eleven, The Bear, Black Bird, Devs

Does he just not have Apple TV?

Also it doesn't seem he's ever watched Dark, Black Sails, Mr. Robot, Altered Carbon (S01 was great). No record of Raised by Wolves (this guy like sci-fi or not?) or Foundation (which would probably at least partially annoy him, but it's still sci-fi). A quick search reveals he did watch The Expanse, so this stuff really should be on his radar.

Even if every observation he has made about the MCU, Disney reboots and Star Wars is true... there's just way more to modern TV than this.

I like his stuff. I also watch other commentators. Adam Olinger, Dekker Shado, Brad Jones, Cecil Trachtenberg, Andrew Shaw, Mr. H, meniacle Cinephile, and Oliver Harper. I'll even pop in for the occasional Jeremy Jahns, Allison Pregler, or Nostalgia Critic.

He's just another fun Critic to enjoy.
