Awake not Woke!

Such a shame, and not.

It’s totally woke. Honestly, it’s not surprising at all. John Cena already sold his soul to the woke crowd from the moment he got pathetically drunk with that Bud Light in episode 2 of Peacemaker Season 2. That was pretty much the point where he shows that he joined the woke mafia. Still, I gave the movie a chance and watched the whole thing. I’m not gonna break down every detail, but it ticks every single box on "the message” checklist. The black brother character hits all the forced cliches that could’ve been funny if they weren’t so painfully obvious. Basically ripping off movies like What About Bob? (1991) or Twins, where a successful, put-together guy (Cena as a real estate agent) has his perfect life destroyed by a chaotic, clingy, no-filter dude. Except here, the straight white guy is portrayed as this insecure mess, which completely contradicts the successful life he’s supposedly built. At times it felt like the script was written by AI instead of actual writers. Totally disposable.

Totally worth it!

Man, what a pleasant surprise. Finally found a comedy that actually makes fun of inclusion and feminism by going back to those politically incorrect jokes, no filters, no worrying about who it offends… but done really well, not ridiculous or forced. First full season with zero woke elements! Can’t wait for season two. 100% recommended. Enjoy!

The casual viewer might not notice this, but there are a few leftist things in this incredibly bad movie. First of all, the main character is a tiny woman who girl-bosses her way through aliens like they were made out of butter. She kills a whole bunch of them in a variety of very fancy and impressive ways, which makes no sense at all. Also, there is this thing about her being a murderer. She killed her friend at the age of 12, brutally and intentionally. Yet we are expected to feel sorry for this sociopath and to give her a chance at redemption, which is absolutely ridiculous. We know how much leftists love psychos and murderers. It's a very leftist thing. Mind-bogglingly dumb film. I've seen 5000 movies and this one is one of the 50 most idiotic ones, easily. Most random "plot" imaginable. Nothing makes any sense. And it is boring most of the time. The main actress being an unattractive nepo baby doesn't help either.

There is no political stuff here whatsoever, zero. In fact, just imagine a Lovecraftian film that tried to push gender identity, climate change, and all the other bullshit. It would be hilarious, wouldn't it? It would be completely besides the point. It would totally crush any attempts at creating mood and trying to establish complex philosophical notions. Which is just another reason to pursue more Lovecraftian films. Except, of course, if Spielberg or Guillermo del Toro did one. In that case, we might get something truly hilariously stupid. The movie itself is fairly low-budget, and leaves a lot of questions unanswered, which is fair enough considering that it's a Lovecraftian film, and one that doesn't focus on the monster aspects of it as it does the more philosophical stuff. So it's a very ambitious film, but I don't think it succeeded as much as was intended. How could it? Still, it's decent.
