      Completely different. Dads being a little bit useless at 'normal' things, whilst being hyper-competent in other areas is a reflection of Life.
      Source: Am a Dad.
      This works in a sitcom because there is something of everyday life that is funny about it - everyone can laugh at Homer being incompetent - because the writers don't hate Homer.
      Homer is actually a good dad in many respects. He provides for his family and makes an effort - not always successfully, but that never stops him.

    Refutes "how men are portrayed" by showing "Fall Guy" which portrays a man as a spineless (ha! pun), weak, emotional punching bag for a good portion of the movie whose entire purpose in life is to get some sort of validation from a woman that the movie *TELLS US* he broke up with/ghosted instead of showing us how it happened, all so that anyone watching the movie will fill in the blanks with their own story. Which alienates half the goddam audience which is probably why the movie didn't do so well.
    I mean, if we are going to nit-pick some dude on the internet, nit-picking is on the table. Fall Guy was as "beta orbiter" as you can get for half the movie.

    2. He's talking about a general direction. Of course there are exceptions. You finding 2-3 scenes that dont align dont disprove the general assessment.
    3. Interestingly when he talked about advertisements you dont use your usual argumentof just finding one contradictory clip: Was it that hard to find a good counterexample or did you notice the flaw in your logic?
    You seem to intentionally misunderstand his ideas and try to refute extreme versions of them (He said that a few decades ago men were less emotional on screen -> "he must think men previously never cried on screen, here is a clip to disprove that").
    In the end its just about politics: You're probably left so you like the development in Hollywood or your desired end point is still so far away from reality that you find the changes between then and now inconsequential so you dont understand why anyone could complain. You are using the same 'gaslighting'-argument leftists often use when people are talking about the societal shift to the left (in my country at least) and act like things have always been this way.

      "Relatable" is the most tiresome insistence of insecure and unimaginative audiences and writers.

      @@RazorRex Freud was a Czech physician who developed a pseudoscientific (or protoscientific?) approach to study the human psyche that's considered a precursor to modern psychology (as alchemy to chemistry, astrology to astronomy etc.) and it largely revolved around the concept of a dichotomy between the conscious and the unconscious selves, with the latter housing one's true desires and repressed beliefs, moreover posing that these repressed aspects of one's persona could bubble up to the surface and manifest themselves in different manners. So, essentially, in Freudian theory a given expression of one's persona which is fundamentally at odds with their alleged beliefs could be interpreted as a reflexion of their own repressed beliefs and desires.
      Nowadays Freud's work subsists in the popular imagination mostly through cynical references to the concept of a "Freudian slip", as well as to his unconventional incest-related musings.

    Kinda funny trying to argue against the Drinker's point while Disney Is still making films and shows. Plus the first minute or so of the video proved his point: people like well written characters, men who act like men do and woman who act like women do, reacher is a good example of a well written story with well written characters. Also putting some clips of the drinker out of context and spamming some other random clips from films/shows out of context isn't an actual argument, the only thing i got out of this video is probably ADHD. With this being said, i don't agree with everything the drinker says but you can check by yourself that most of the times the film or show which he doesn't like and give a low score, actually have a low score on rotten tomatoes.
