Dude is definitely meant to be a Trump stand in.

The problem is that they just did a really *really* bad job of it to the point that it doesn't really come together until they literally have him in front of the Presidential Seal being told that Truth > Him.

Which shouldn't be surprising. Woketards never get it right. Just look at SNL.

Edit: Just to further illustrate the point, this is what Max Lord looks like in the comics

I couldn't accept that any Hollwood wokedrone would make a Trump stand-in that was so sympathetic. I mean, the guy is redeemed by his love for his son. It was kind of a pleasant surprise, though it doesn't stop the the movie from being utter trash.

@ProblematicUser420 is right, it's hard not to look at how max Lord was originally in even Justice League international (a bit of a used car salesman but a decent chap) and the film and not notice that they changed him to make him more Trump like.

HOWEVER, our good priest does make a good point about him being sympathetic. So now I wonder if this is a consequence of reshoots etc. Like did the first draft have max Lord on a straight character journey, then as they made the film decide to make him more Trump like but didn't update all the scripts, etc etc.
 
I'd guess it's just rushed and/or sub par writing.

They clearly couldn't kill him as from what I hear nobody dies in the movie, so they had to think of some way to get him to lose and having it be his kid or whatever was the only way.

As for why he didn't get some punishment? I'm guessing they couldn't think of a way to have him arrested for granting wishes without it looking really fucking retarded.

I guess there is also the possibility that this was Jenkins wanting to make a statement while showing some restraint?

Arrested for what exactly? The people who wanted their wishes granted had no real expectation of actually getting it. Moreover, the people who wished for what they wanted are still considered free agents since he didn't coerced them. If anything, the whole world should be arrested for carelessness, especially Kristen Wiig for wanting to be a furry.
 
Watched the Half in the Bag review, and ...

1. Mike getting pissy about warm beer is a mood.

2. While I totally understand Jay's comparison of this movie to Spider-Man 3, I think that comparison is just plain cruel to Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man 3 is fun to watch, at the very least. It also has far better action scenes than WW84 (the crane rescue scene, the tunnel scene with Sandman, the Harry vs. Peter mansion fight, etc), and there's no almost 90-minute stretch of the movie without Spider-Man showing up either. And we can't forget the memes that Spider-Man 3 still gives us to this day. WW84 is going to end up being no more than just a fart in the wind in another month or two ... Because the movie is so boring.
 
Man RIP Jim. Sadly he contracted Trump Derangement Syndrome and has been sperging out for days now on his twitter.
I really enjoyed his tweeting about anime. But it's really annoying to see him post american politics into my timeline.

Hasn't he been doing this kind of thing for a while? It's why I unfollowed him on twitter and I did that like a year or two ago I think.
 
Does anyone have the video editing knowledge to tell me how Jay did the effect to black/white everything, but still have his lime green sport jacket displayed throughout their video? I really love the aesthetics of this effect,

Colour grading.
Probably just adjusted the saturation of both red and blue to 0 in the HSV colour space.
 
[shitpost] They’ve actually gone too far this time. Yes I’m an autist. But their dishonestly, their blatant lying, it’s made my blood boil. I genuinely hate them after this. How dare you stare at me and lie. I know where their studio is. It would be like a 5 hour drive but it would be worth it just to see mikes lying little face crumpled and ruined after I fucking best it to a pulp with a baseball bat, fucking begging on his knees pissing himself and admitting that the sequels were a fucking disaster, than JJ sucks, that he was fucking wrong and the whole endeavour has been a soulless hollow piece of shit worse than the prequels. That’s what I want. The little “I’m an apathetic alcoholic!” Act to just fade away under threat of death, under my wrath, and for him to finally be fucking honest for once in his tiny pathetic life. Tears in his eyes as he realises this is what it came to to admit his pathetic online legacy was a farce. I’d fucking beat the fuck out of him for everything he did. Im literally in tears writing this the thought is so cathartic. Id just pummel and pummel screaming at him for what he did, for keeping up the fucking lie. And bloodied and broken he’d admit it, he’d admit the prequels were good, he fucking would. I’d lay down in the exhaustion, emotionally drained, we would cry and embrace. The wound would be healed. But he would have to be harmed to the point of destruction fist. And id fuck up jay merely for his smug pseudo intellectual manner, his boring insistence on obscure horror shit nobody cares about. I’d wail about how he isn’t interesting, insightful or clever as I smashed his fucking ribs with a hammer, how wrong he had got life, how desperately wrong he has perceived it all in his nihilistic little box. And rich would get possibly the most honest beating, the beating of a man who simply needs to be beaten. [/shitpost]
