I also liked that they showed Mavis was hot because she put all her time and energy into being hot. It wasn’t just a natural byproduct of her being a cool girl like in, oh, every other movie.

Is Charlize Theron the best actress of her generation? I certainly can’t think of a better one her age.

I feel like the lazier and more common trope is the whole “parenting is really hard but look how rewarding it is” schmaltz, so I’ll take your trope any day.

What was cool about Young Adult was it showed the one with the cool job who lived in the city was an insecure mess and the ones with boring jobs in a small town were happy and well adjusted. Usually those movies go two ways: either Mavis is cool and free and exciting while the rest of the town consists of ugly fat…

I kiiinda actually like Labor Day. And Men, Women, and Children is bad, but not entirely for the reasons it got knocked for? So I guess I have a soft spot for him, although his Diablo Cody-written movies are, for me, far ahead of anything else he’s done.

I love the idea of a Furiosa type character in the Terminator universe, but this is pretty cheese-cake.

Terry Crews is a goddamn national treasure. This is just more evidence supporting that fact.

You’re prefectly good example of why AVClub MUST publish these articles. Anyone who honestly uses the phrase “limp-wristed men” needs to get some basic human education. Clearly you’re not hitting Jezebel, so here you go, whether you like it or not.

Okay, let’s fix that: you’re wrong. This is a pop culture site and it has always dealt with political commentary by celebrities.

hahahahahahahaha, you tiny fucking little baby.

if i may share....

Crews would probably just smile ruefully and pat him on the head

Except they don’t?

Problem is, he isn’t an alpha at all, he just like to think he is one. People like this douchey neckbeard live in a fantasy world where if they think they call themselves something, it automatically makes them that.  I would love to see how “alpha” he is by calling a Terry Crews limp wristed to his face.

Those commercials are more absurd than anything. However, being masculine isn’t necessarily toxic. Just because he’s a big guy with muscles doesn’t mean he’s encouraging people to treat women badly.

Masculinity in our culture has always been insecurity masquerading as strength. That’s probably why it’s been so damaging. Almost all the evil in our history has resulted from insecure people lashing out at the world.

I probably just shattered everyone’s world.

LOL...limp-wristed men. Someone’s low-T projection is showing. Archie Bunker called and wants his schtick back.

I don’t know, Johnny Depp and Bruce Willis are still acting

Yes. Confidence makes everyone more attractive. A lack of confidence will make anyone less attractive.
