The Critical Drinker's reaction video is eerily similar to your review. Down to the "speedrunning the plot" comment and "the token black woman is not as annoying as the trailers would have you believe". I wonder if he reads you?
The one positive consequence I hoped we would gain from the era of “The Message” was that audiences would grow more discerning and have higher standards once the BlackRock drivel finally started dying. But no, normies will desperately inhale the worst slop in the world so long as the agitprop isn’t blatantly antagonistic in tone and the IP being skinsuited isn’t one that’s gone completely out of fashion.
My kid is a boy and he and his friends loved it. I think you could hear them, and all of the groups of all of the boys who had the theatre completely packed, yell "chicken jockey" from the moon. Whatever it is, it was a moment in time for them, and just them.
And we can mostly all relate. I would say a good number of us here know that one loves the power glove because it's so bad.

I've now watched Drinkers review and I feel a need to distance.
I wonder if he's using ChatGPT to outline too?
That would hopefully explain it.

Normal people just don't have enough hatred in their hearts.
So long as the clown isn't a blatant abomination with not a joke to they/them's name, they don't really care.
Only when the skinsuit is torn and the red nose gone do they recognise the horror.
It is what it is.
It's kids. I repeat: Kids. They're like 8-10. They literally don't know any better because they were born yesterday.
Don't go a doom and black pill because babies aren't born knowing the classics. That kind of thing takes time.
Normies will always choose comfort over challenge. Familiar trumps good.
It takes a good few trash films for people to decide they no longer care.
Disney execs watching this, wondering aloud why the movie doesn't explicitly tell the audience that it hates them
