At 58:15 in this this Ant guy’s video, he starts crashing out about Star Wars In 66 Seconds’ “oh-eddie-pus” pronunciation joke. I still don’t get why everyone is missing that it’s riffing on Plinkett himself mispronouncing words on purpose.
At 58:15 in this this Ant guy’s video, he starts crashing out about Star Wars In 66 Seconds’ “oh-eddie-pus” pronunciation joke. I still don’t get why everyone is missing that it’s riffing on Plinkett himself mispronouncing words on purpose.
He says “Just remember, next time you’re online, and you’re arguing with someone on Reddit or whatever, and they say ‘Oh, the Star Wars prequels are so good 🤓’ just remember, oh-eddie-pus.” The implication being that those who appreciate the PT because of their mythological underpinningd are dumb.
He also implied that anyone who likes Zack Snyder's DC movies and disliked James Gunn's Superman movie is MAGA adjacent
.... you do realize I have an entire Zack Snyder film where I say the opposite, yes?
I'd normally assume that you meant to say "video" instead of "film", but I choose to believe that you really think that highly of yourself. Anyway, even if you did have such a video, that didn't stop you from asking an artist to draw a strawman where fans of a particular movie are pro-MAGA
I didn't ask for that. But I also thought it was funny af.
Slander is so funny, amirite
Who is specifically being slandered?
I refuse to believe that you're asking this question in earnest
What person is being slandered?
Something tells me that the guy who regularly boasts about subscriber/view counts and sees a drawing of himself showing le epic disapproval for people who enjoy movies that he doesn't to be "funny af" isn't being honest at this moment
Rick Worley had a much better take on this.
I wouldn't know, I refuse to watch him in light of where stands on certain things politically
He basically said that if you’re just a fan of Snyder’s movies, that’s cool. But if you’re so obsessed with his movies that you endlessly complain about someone else making a similar movie and come up with weird schemes to tank said movie, you need help.
If the "weird schemes" he's referring to are the two lone Reddit posts from overzealous fans that called for a boycott of Gunn's Superman, he's blowing things way out of proportion
So dumb, in fact, that can’t even pronounce “Oedipus.” Stands to reason, eh? I have to believe that he and everyone else in RLM’s comments section who is complaining about this just really don’t remember the Plinkett reviews all that specifically.
Because I can’t think of any other reason why that’s worth this much derision, but pronouncing protagonist as “proda-GON-ess” is fair game.
If it is sarcasm, then it went over my head. Without context, it's hard to tell.
I could tell he was joking because of the humorous images on screen, and because 66 seconds is cracking dead pan jokes throughout the entire video about Taylor Swift and what not 😆
....in Plinkett's vid, that didn't happen
That’s why you don’t believe what Stoklasa says. Because he’s not an honest critic.
Given your capacity for media literacy, that isn't the least bit surprising
Did the visuals he showed while deliberately mispronouncing the word not tip you off?
What visuals? The Wikipedia article?

Yes, i read this
This is the same guy who made a video titled “I’m Glad Star Wars: The Last Jedi Ruined Your Childhood” and said the Original Trilogy had no themes beyond “farmboy turns into samurai spaceman and defeats evil dark man who wields the dark power.”
....when did I say that about the original trilogy? Further, what point did I make in that video whose title you seem to remember?
In your “Why Do Star Wars Movies Feel Fake?” video. I specifically called you out on that.
Yeah, I don't recall ever saying that in this video. Can you offer me a time code where I said that?
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t have much faith in the idea that he knows a thing about Star Wars.
