My Rory-Sona is Star Rord. He's just Star Lord but he only blames Gamora for the team's shortcomings. Other team-mates are Rorcket, Grort, and Drax the Destroryer.
Since I’m bi gender My Rory wears like a dress that covers his girl half when in boy mode and covers up his boy half when in girl mode like one of those dolls where it’s just two torso’s sewed together at the waist.
#megfixedmen When trans man realize they immediately shapeshift into Rory Kannear. Also I genuinely really like Meg’s idea for a fix to this movie, it sounds like a phenomenal thriller, though maybe I’m biased because I have times where I can’t recognize faces voices and builds of even people I’ve known all my life.
Incoming long comment: I once saw a criticism of "Midsommar" that was like "this movie was clearly written by a nerdy guy to show how bad other guys are to virtue signal that he's not like other guys and is one of the good ones" and I ADORE Midsommar so I didn't think that was accurate personally, but everything I've heard about "Men" (not that I've seen it yet, just from reviews) makes it seem like that Midsommar criticism was some spectre of the ghost of A24 films """elevated horror""" future I'm trans, but I wouldn't want a cis person to make a movie called "Cis" where everyone was played by Ryan Reynolds and it was Ryan Reynolds bullying a trans character for two hours because I already know it's hard to be trans and don't need some Cis person telling me that. Like yeah, I know LMAO
I hate to be the barer of bad news but the movie Cis is basically being made by Blumhouse films it's called They/Them (I don't think Ryan Renolds is in it though)
@@yourlocalnerd7788 Oh my God of course there is. There was also a "Karen" movie too. I really hate the trend of """elevated horror""" that feels like a preachy thinkpiece article and not a movie, and a thinkpiece written by a cis white guy trying to virtue signal how they're better than other guys at that. People forget that Get Out was, first and foremost, a really fucking good thriller!
My RorySona is Fonzy Rory. He's a Rory in a leather jacket and a pompadour The Two and a Half Men theme towards the beginning called forth unfortunate memories of watching tv at my parents' house.
I agree with Meg's fixes what they described would have worked so much better. Also when you described the men giving birth to each other I just visualized that one scene from FMA Brotherhood where Envy is destroyed and throws up himself until he's like this little green catapiller thing.
As soon as this movie was over, I pulled out my phone and texted my mom "I just wasted two hours of my life". True story. I'm a woman and a feminist, but I just hated this movie and specifically the way it tried to talk about sexism. Not only was it pretentious and up its own ass(though it was that too), it didn't have a whole lot to say about the issue it was talking about. The whole message was just men be mean to women and men suck. Unlike something like Get Out or Us, it didn't use the supernatural elements to make compelling metaphors or even make an interesting story. By the second act, I was bored and wanted the stupid thing to be over. I feel so bad for any many who feels obligated to like this movie because it's about women's issues and he doesn't want to look like a sexist who doesn't care about women's issues. By the way, I actually really like Annihilation(Alex Garland's other film). It's a visually interesting film with a good story and an all female cast that's handled well. Garland isn't a bad creator, he just had a big misstep with this film.
Real talk about this - I am all for leftist causes, but _how much of this sorta thing do I gotta sit through lmao_ Full disclosure, I didn't actually see the movie, I'm ruining it for myself right now, and nobody's making me see it. But I... really don't get anything out of stuff that's like "Men are terrible." Like.... why are they terrible? Is there a way _not_ to be terrible? What am I actually learning from this?
Not an entirely female cast, the love interest was a man and he appears at the beginning and end of the film. It was interesting that he turned out to be some sort of duplicate created by the entity at the center of the shimmer though.
The funny thing is I haven't seen Ex Machina in a while. Got reminded about the film thanks to Shaun's video analysis. The interesting thing is of course it's another film by Alex Garland and in that judging from Shaun's video and the discussion that came about in the comments section it sounds like the film does use it's sci-fi elements to talk about the treatment of women and how they can be looked on by guys through the discussion of the AI's. It sounds like Alex Garland did make the film you were talking about but a lot better and more subtly than this one which is a bit too on the nose to be about any broader topics.
My Rory-Sona is ‘Rory KinX the Dimensional Lord’, he’s super powerful and able to destroy anything, he’s best friends with God and has rainbow hair. But he’s also really broody but not enough to stop him from saving the universe from men.
My idea for the movie based on the trailer was that there was this stalker dude who had the ability to shapeshifter into different people to continue to stalk her without her knowing, so she goes the entire movie paranoid about everyone
The only reason I know of this film(and X) is because YMS reviewed both of them at the same time (X, Men) and I was weirdly excited at the idea of a new x men movie
This video has made me feel like this is supposed to be a movie where Rory Kinnear is an alien invader, and there are no naturally occurring Rory Kinnears on Earth.
One suggestion I would give for the Tuten cut of this movie. Instead of the naked man just being let go by the cops, instead, whether actually true or not, they tell Harper that he managed to slip away from them and that they're searching for him. Then, not only does that fill in the plot hole, it gives a legit reason for the cop to seek Harper out to tell her to be wary of him. #MegfixedMen
My Rory-Sona is a Rory that just kinda tells you about weird facts and trivia and asks a lot of weird questions to Harper, but is mostly harmless #MegfixedMen
Thank god I finally found someone who has some brains about this movie. The scroll of truth HOW DOES SHE NEVER NOTICE PLUS OH MY GOD "THAT SCENE" WAS SICKENING
My Rory-Sona is Birthday Rory, who is Rory Kinnear dressed in casual attire and a party hat whose birthday is celebrated and recognized by those around him every day even after he dies.
i have never watched this movie, or heard anything about it, so this video is completely incomprehensible and honestly probably the ideal way to experience this movie💖
As I'm not looking at the video most of the time I'm just imagining every time you mention Rory it's mentioning my great uncle Rory, who looks like a skinny santa.
some guy once stopped me on my way back from school called me hot and wanted to give me his number on like a business card, he was like 50 and i was barely legal truly a men moment of all time (also he told me he wanted to make a move since he saw me come back from school multiple times on that route so thats just great, never saw him again though)
I watched this film some time before watching Crimes of the Future, which was absolutely stellar, but one thing I couldn't help but think was how different they were, not just in what kind of horrors they were but in how they were structured thematically. Horror, and by extension things like surrealism and expressionism, as genres are amazing at developing multiple themes since the whole point of them is, in theory, to make us feel intense emotions -- fear, distress, confusion, disgust, ect. -- so that it can have a lasting impact. Because of that lasting impact viewers will come out of the film thinking about the film, which is why they're such good genres for communicating broader themes, which is something I don't think Men does well at all. CotF, as well as other horrors or surreal films like The Lighthouse have very broad metaphors and you can likely interpret them in multiple, very complex ways, like how in Crimes of the Future the core theme is about people's bodies and who gets to control them. That itself is a clear theme but also an extremely broad one and Cronenberg encourages the audience to develop multiple interpretations, examples being themes of abortion, transgender bodies and plastic surgery just to name a few. Men doesn't really have that broadness, Alex Garland gives us a specific theme, which is "aren't men awful? Poor women :^(" and focuses on that one theme instead of leaving most of it up to interpretation. But even then I'm not entirely convinced that Garland knows what he's entirely talking about, like I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't picked up an essay on feminism or sociology or intersectionality beforehand and just went off his own initial views. Honestly though, that may have something to do with the fact that, despite the film's subject matter, not a single woman beyond the cast was in a significant role in making the film -- not one woman producing, co-writing, ect. Which is just... so baffling its commendable.
I watched this film with my family and for the first half we thought it was weird but decent. We did however check out around the scene on the front garden (if you know). I think that I expected a story instead of so much metaphor. My predictions were that the town worships the Green Man and thus the naked man is the father of the town leading to the similar likeness and defects. When it got the end and we weren’t getting any answers was when I gave up.

@@YodaOnABenderThe main reason why they asked it as a joke is because alot of "all men are shit" people tend to end up being TERFs, because they view trans women as "men invading women's spaces" and as such think they need to "protect womanhood". It's not necessarily that they believe he IS a terf, but rather a joke based on the fact that the "all men bad" and transphobe mentalities tend to align alot. Hope that explains it! /Gen
This sounds like someone tried to make silent hill without knowing what silent hill is. Giant centipede monster Rory: There's just a giant centipede with Rory kinnears head on it, there is no explanation on how why this creature exist's, It simply does.
I stare at the outro for so long my phone goes dark. In the reflection on the screen staring back at me…Rory Kinnear. These hands….These are Rory Kinnears hands.
I made the mistake of just watching the birth scene. I got half way through and then stumbled to my bed, nearly passing out from distress. In the spirit of Upton Sinclair: instead of hitting my heart or mind, he hit my stomach.
The first half of Meg's version of Men reminds me of vault 108 form Fallout 3 with all the deranged clones of this one guy named Gary. If only they were all Rory Kinnear instead :( #megfixedmen
For a film seeming to claim it's delving into the fear men induce, from the "perspective of a woman", it seemed to be more about "what scares a cis man the most?"
You know I think it's almost a good thing that this movie turned out the way it did, because if it didn't we would not have gotten this spectacular video, which really, truly is a spectacle.
my rory-sona is the trans rory that doesn't understand that he's been mansplaining trains to harper for 30 minutes straight and then is never seen again
Yo if mr Men Alex G asked any cis/trans woman for scary interactions with men he would have a better movie. Here mime there is a weird guy that I kept running into when walking my doggo. Within my friend circle we refer to him as toe-shoes man he's like somewhere in his 40's/50's and I was 16 when I first ran into him, but I first met him and he like stopped me with his bike because he was very sure that he had met me before, he didn't but he heard my accent and started talking about travelling around my home country and I managed to get past him and walk away. But then I kept running into him and few time times he mentioned building a shed and kept trying to invite me over to see it. I always said no but one time I was taking out the trash and I saw him and he saw me smile and rode away on his bike and I scared out of mind walking anywhere cause this guy who was kinda weird knows where me and my family lives. Nothing ever happened but it was terrifying. #MegfixedMen
If you're going to make the husband a different actor than Rory Kinnear, why make Rory Kinnear the actively evil green man? You could have the main character see the husband at the end of the tunnel, or at the abandoned building, then have the Rory characters' reactions to the main character range from Geoffrey reassuring her that "everything's alright" in a way that means well but isn't taking her concern seriously, to the Police-Rory not believing her and refusing to open an investigation, to the Vicar Rory implying (without being a cartoon villain about it) that the main character deserves it; this way, while the Rory characters aren't the danger, they are downplaying, or even outright denying it, to such a degree that they effectively protect or enable the danger to continue, *not unlike a certain other source of trauma, whose perpetrators are often shielded by both society at large and institutions of power*
i had never heard of this movie until now, but what i'm gathering is that Alex Garland didn't truly create this, it was his evil alterego Alex Chaos _haha final fantasy joke_
I mean to be fair if i found a naked man from the forest so covered in plants trying to get into my house I'd be thinking "Dear god how long did that poor guy get lost in there?". Like it's possible to convince the cops that he's legit just someone who was lost in the forest that long.
I am not sure if i am on the minority here; but: I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE ; when I was very young I suffered gaslight and abuse at the hands of an aunt. And growing up this abuse "colored" my perception of women around me and relatives in general. I felt that every woman around me could be a potential abuser, and I became especially sensitive to manipulative language. Most of my family defended my aunt and this caused me to cut ties with them. I haven't spoken to the rest of my family in years. To me the theme of this movie was that way that abuse changes your relationships; How you become more sensitive and frankly sometimes a little paranoid. How sometimes people band together to isolate the abused and how the mindset of abuse can become it's own cage. What we see in the movie is entirely a metaphorical view of the main character's perceptions, how her relationships are crippled and how her viewpoint of men become colored from what she suffered. In a way how our constant micro aggressions shift our perceptions of each other until what we are left with are some sort of primeval stereotype that we truly believe and in some way ; for the particular history of the abused it is true. I liked that the movie didn't provide a moral or an easy answer to this problem because frankly there is non. You're just stuck with it, you live with it and you learn to accept that maybe you're crippled that way.
Check out A24’s new psychological thriller BEAR, featuring a town where every single bear is played by Rory Kinnear. Nobody notices because the town isn’t in bear country. The movie is a rom-com.
if i had a nickel for every production to come out this year that featured Rory Kinnear in roles as multiple different men who happen to look identical i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Rory but as a nonbinary florist Who is a functional alcoholic and stays in the floral business to steal sacramental wine from funerals and steal the champagne from the wedding that he works on
weird hot take but I do not think a movie like men could be written well by a man. You gotta have an intimate awareness of the fear you're trying to portray to get this right
So do they just not understand that the metaphor of why all the men look the same? In the reality of the movie they're all different looking people, but as viewers seeing it through Harper's pov, she views them as the same. They aren't LITERALLY all the same guy. It's an extension of her trauma at the hands of her ex boyfriend that she views men all as a shady, distrustful character. They're not individuals because she doesn't see them as individuals, they're just men. This is Doug Walker levels of trying to decode the metaphor to have to work off literal logic.
Nothing ruins an entire generation of Men quite like a suspiciously drawn living meme gremlin waifu: ruclips.net/video/sv4KSXZJp8s/видео.html
For true gender equality, there must now be "Women", where a town of women all played by Laura Dern chase after a man.

@@YodaOnABenderThe main reason why they asked it as a joke is because alot of "all men are shit" people tend to end up being TERFs, because they view trans women as "men invading women's spaces" and as such think they need to "protect womanhood".
It's not necessarily that they believe he IS a terf, but rather a joke based on the fact that the "all men bad" and transphobe mentalities tend to align alot. Hope that explains it! /Gen
my time when men was when rory kinnear told me i wasn't a real rory kinnear. :[
Rory Kinnear plays more than one character in Men, Our Flag Means Death, Penny Dreadful, and Inside No. 9...
Somebody get the alligator pit.
I was really enjoying the film up until “that scene”
Would probably watch it again if it wasn’t for “that scene”
This sounds like someone tried to make silent hill without knowing what silent hill is.
Giant centipede monster Rory: There's just a giant centipede with Rory kinnears head on it, there is no explanation on how why this creature exist's, It simply does.
I personally preferred the sequel in a half
Alex Garland saw that Simpsons joke of "Bronson, Missouri" and thought, well, say now...
I stare at the outro for so long my phone goes dark. In the reflection on the screen staring back at me…Rory Kinnear. These hands….These are Rory Kinnears hands.
I made the mistake of just watching the birth scene. I got half way through and then stumbled to my bed, nearly passing out from distress. In the spirit of Upton Sinclair: instead of hitting my heart or mind, he hit my stomach.
The first half of Meg's version of Men reminds me of vault 108 form Fallout 3 with all the deranged clones of this one guy named Gary. If only they were all Rory Kinnear instead :( #megfixedmen
For a film seeming to claim it's delving into the fear men induce, from the "perspective of a woman", it seemed to be more about "what scares a cis man the most?"
You know I think it's almost a good thing that this movie turned out the way it did, because if it didn't we would not have gotten this spectacular video, which really, truly is a spectacle.
So if you are gender fluid, are you sometimes Rory?
You are a solution comprised of some parts Rory Kinnear and other parts Winona Ryder
@@reidheidler5138 perfectly balanced, as all things should be
yes.
@@reidheidler5138 as an afab genderfluid person my left leg is rory
my rory-sona is the trans rory that doesn't understand that he's been mansplaining trains to harper for 30 minutes straight and then is never seen again
Once I had the ability to have a rory-sona, however, no longer can I, as things have changed
I had a rorysona but lost it when I came out as trans
Every time you mention Rorrie in plural, Im loosing it
Yo if mr Men Alex G asked any cis/trans woman for scary interactions with men he would have a better movie.
Here mime there is a weird guy that I kept running into when walking my doggo. Within my friend circle we refer to him as toe-shoes man he's like somewhere in his 40's/50's and I was 16 when I first ran into him, but I first met him and he like stopped me with his bike because he was very sure that he had met me before, he didn't but he heard my accent and started talking about travelling around my home country and I managed to get past him and walk away.
But then I kept running into him and few time times he mentioned building a shed and kept trying to invite me over to see it. I always said no but one time I was taking out the trash and I saw him and he saw me smile and rode away on his bike and I scared out of mind walking anywhere cause this guy who was kinda weird knows where me and my family lives. Nothing ever happened but it was terrifying.

I can’t wait to see what my favorite channel has to say about my favorite Alex Garland movie!!!
If you're going to make the husband a different actor than Rory Kinnear, why make Rory Kinnear the actively evil green man?
You could have the main character see the husband at the end of the tunnel, or at the abandoned building, then have the Rory characters' reactions to the main character range from Geoffrey reassuring her that "everything's alright" in a way that means well but isn't taking her concern seriously, to the Police-Rory not believing her and refusing to open an investigation, to the Vicar Rory implying (without being a cartoon villain about it) that the main character deserves it; this way, while the Rory characters aren't the danger, they are downplaying, or even outright denying it, to such a degree that they effectively protect or enable the danger to continue, *not unlike a certain other source of trauma, whose perpetrators are often shielded by both society at large and institutions of power*
i had never heard of this movie until now, but what i'm gathering is that Alex Garland didn't truly create this, it was his evil alterego Alex Chaos
_haha final fantasy joke_
Maybe Rory Kinear was the friends we made along the way
I honestly didn't know all the men were one man.... i just thought thats what british people looked like
#Not All Men are Rory Kinnear!
This really is me when men
am I having a stroke
A bloke.
yesn't
just a really fucking complicated rory kinnear mpreg fic
I mean to be fair if i found a naked man from the forest so covered in plants trying to get into my house I'd be thinking "Dear god how long did that poor guy get lost in there?". Like it's possible to convince the cops that he's legit just someone who was lost in the forest that long.
I am not sure if i am on the minority here; but: I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE ;
when I was very young I suffered gaslight and abuse at the hands of an aunt. And growing up this abuse "colored" my perception of women around me and relatives in general. I felt that every woman around me could be a potential abuser, and I became especially sensitive to manipulative language. Most of my family defended my aunt and this caused me to cut ties with them. I haven't spoken to the rest of my family in years.
To me the theme of this movie was that way that abuse changes your relationships; How you become more sensitive and frankly sometimes a little paranoid. How sometimes people band together to isolate the abused and how the mindset of abuse can become it's own cage. What we see in the movie is entirely a metaphorical view of the main character's perceptions, how her relationships are crippled and how her viewpoint of men become colored from what she suffered. In a way how our constant micro aggressions shift our perceptions of each other until what we are left with are some sort of primeval stereotype that we truly believe and in some way ; for the particular history of the abused it is true. I liked that the movie didn't provide a moral or an easy answer to this problem because frankly there is non. You're just stuck with it, you live with it and you learn to accept that maybe you're crippled that way.
my rorysona is an artist rory kinnear, beret on head and paintbrush in hand 👨🎨
I only know of this guy as the guy who got stabbed in the eye by his own sword and his twin brother who got shot in the eye by his own gun
"eYEe~"
I was hoping you’d talk about this ever since Meg mentioned it lol
I'm Big Gay Rory, the opposite of The Green Man and the Big Good who opposes him
This movie is like unedited footage of a bear
Check out A24’s new psychological thriller BEAR, featuring a town where every single bear is played by Rory Kinnear. Nobody notices because the town isn’t in bear country. The movie is a rom-com.
if i had a nickel for every production to come out this year that featured Rory Kinnear in roles as multiple different men who happen to look identical i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Rory but as a nonbinary florist Who is a functional alcoholic and stays in the floral business to steal sacramental wine from funerals and steal the champagne from the wedding that he works on

#MEGFIXEDMEN
I’m gay enough that I read the title of this video and immediately thought it would be 48 minutes of gushing about hot guys fsjkfffhffdfddsdddgh
And then Henry was mysteriously missing from the next video.
Phew! thank goodness Meg fixed Men
Wait, Henry mentions you guys talking about the movie Spiral at some point. Was this a video or something on the patreon?
Just saw this movie now. Woof.
My Rory-sona is mgtow Rory. He's not in this movie and he'll tell you why in exhausting highly problematic detail.
#MegFixedMen
A24 need to release the Meg cut
I'm still waiting for the lamb video, Gus and Henry! >:(
#megfixedmen I also can't tell men apart
I LOVE MEN!!! :D
but what if... Men?
weird hot take but I do not think a movie like men could be written well by a man. You gotta have an intimate awareness of the fear you're trying to portray to get this right
Oh God not this....
#MegFixedMen
*Spoilers below*
I'm into mpreg, but THIS...😮💨
What?
So do they just not understand that the metaphor of why all the men look the same? In the reality of the movie they're all different looking people, but as viewers seeing it through Harper's pov, she views them as the same. They aren't LITERALLY all the same guy. It's an extension of her trauma at the hands of her ex boyfriend that she views men all as a shady, distrustful character. They're not individuals because she doesn't see them as individuals, they're just men. This is Doug Walker levels of trying to decode the metaphor to have to work off literal logic.
This analysis would make sense if she saw them all as her ex-husband, the metaphor doesn’t work if she just sees all men as some unrelated guy
And they birth each other out the asshole because she saw her ex-boyfriend do it, but they don't LITERALLY do it four times in a row!
I have watched this video three times, yet I still have marveled each time when #megfixedmen
