Mike and Jay start talking about Orange Man around the 28 minute mark, but thankfully its more of trying to understand the directors retarded comments about him.

But most of the review is being thankful that big movies and theaters will finally die and trying to understand this car wreck of a movie.
 
I think they are the first critics I hear that actually call Pedro Pascals character a stand in for Trump, other people say its not just there. I dont think I will watch that train wreck, but based on the trailers, I feel the guys are right, he has trumps mannerisms and kindda looks like him, but they could also have gone for generic evil business man.
PD: they need more copies of Vampire Assasin.
 
I get what they're seeing with 'Trumpalorian' but I think if Max Lord was supposed to be a Trump stand in, he'd be irredeemable, like the stuff with his kid wouldn't be there. I thought Jay's comparison to Spider-Man 3 was apt.

I will say this. I just watched the movie in theaters because my brother wanted to go.

The Trump is way turned down for 2 hours and change. Like you can see elements, but it's more generic "sleazy businessman" elements. I did think watching it live that the last scene where he's standing in front of the oval seal was a little on the nose, but not too bad. Not full "Orange Man Bad."

When they pointed out how the big climax was Pascal screaming about granting wishes while Wonder Woman monologued about "the power of the truth", THEN it hit me. But I'll still say that it was not full ORANGE MAN BAD, but just more generic evil business man.
 
Oh and if the director really said she wanted to show how bad the eighties were, no one told the script writers or the guys who made the trailers. Because when I want to think the 1980's were awful, I think of Blue Monday. Because that's not a catchy, emblematic song of the decade.

Jay when he realizes that the destruction of theatres was his monkey paw wish.
 
For like 99% of the movie Maxwell feels like a generic sleazy businessman character. It's not until the end when he's in front of the podium and the characters are screaming about lies wishes vs da troof that the whole Trump thing comes into focus at all.

I mean, he builds a giant wall via a wish at one point.

I think some people think there's a kind of cache' if they put a disclaimer about Trump in when they're talking about how much the left is fucking up the entire world. "I know X, Y, Z...but I'm no fan of Trump, either". (Fuck you, by the way).

Just because it's not a 100% characterization of him (how could it be?) people again defer to the lefties who made and directed the movie.

But to your point, HE WISHED FOR A FUCKING WALL. A businessesman becoming president. Of course it was meant to be Trump.

He didn't wish for a wall. An Egyptian dude wished to reclaim his land and protect it from outsiders, causing documents to appear supporting his claim and for a wall to magically pop up out of the ground keeping people out. He also doesn't become president.

He's definitely meant to be some sort of weird Trump stand-in but they don't do much more than vaguely hint at it.

Did you feel that? It was like million soy boys crying out on twitter.

I look forward to both DC spergs and the woke crowd reeeing about these nazis hating on a movie because it has a strong woman lead and an orange man standin.

I kinda doubt it. Between women/"women" on twitter loving to hate other women, Marvel fanboys being doubleplus good consoomers and far right/left hating on the movie due to Gal Gadot being Israeli, I don't see much support.
 
I think the people here saying he's not that much of a Trump figure are trying to flush out how badly this movie has aged in one year. Which I can understand as this movie is very, very flushable, but like a backed-up toilet, it's a small nightmare having to use the plunger to break the crap up into smaller, more manageable pieces so that you hope the low-flow toilet can flush it from your brain.
