Years ago I’d read him just for shits and giggles. It was entertaining to see the mental gymnastics of his pure contrarianism. I mean, this is a guy who considers Resident Evil Afterlife to be a masterpiece.

Thanks, that was a good read. I hadn’t thought that Snyder was explicitly making Superman his Dr. Manhattan, but it makes sense.

He loves all the DC films...except Wonder Woman! Because FEMINISTS.

I’ve never agreed with the Bird being Objectivist idea, not least because of his own words. Superheroes are Objectivist fodder they because there’s no less subtle stand in for the “exceptional” than them. Bird always falls on the side of his exceptional characters, in the end, finding selfishness as a fault. On the…

A very, very provisional Fresh rating, but Fresh nonetheless.

Looks like David Edelstein decided to be the sole Fresh rating.

“And in case anyone doesn’t know, he’s black. So this is even more obvious than his usual troll jobs.”- He’s also gay, so his conservatism seems like.. I just don’t know. Some professional trauma in his past, where his career is, “I’ll show them” and doubling down to own the libs or something. I have to admit, I som…

I’ve no issue discussing conservatism intellectually, but White is rigid, mean-spirited and an irrational thinker. What also bothered me about NYP was the feeling that there were subtle (not so subtle in White’s case) strains of bigotry in the content, enough to turn me off as opposed to engaging me.

He always came off as conservative, which is okay when it’s backed up with some rational argument, but I always saw it as more being his click-bait contrarianess. He’s fully off the deep end now though. Another comment pointed out his hatred of Marvel films and his absolute love of Snyder and, holy crap, they weren’t…

I had to stop reading him when he was at the NYP. It was like being buried neck deep in someone’s malevolent, growing psychosis. In fact, he was a canary in that coal mine, because I realized how depressingly ideological the entire weekly had become.

I haven’t read an Armond White review in years, since he was dropped from Metacritic, and, well, wow. He’s gone full on uber-conservative and now writes for National Review. All his reviews are laced with criticisms of liberals, Obama, Democrats, SJWs, etc. He’s gone from a contrarian to NR’s token black alt-right…

Holy shit, lol. This has made me look up more of White’s Marvel reviews. Civil War quickly has this gem: “The trivializing has grabbed such hold that when a genuine pop artist like Zack Snyder deepens comics lore into visionary, moral art (the profound Man of Steel and Batman v Superman), many fanboys, and critics,…

Oh, yeah, he loves him some Snyder and despises anything Marvel. I was curious if he had anything to say about Black Panther, as it’s ripe for his style of trolling, and the article is a thing to behold. The movie, to him, is basically Democratic political manipulation. Time magazine putting Boseman on the cover makes…

White is worse than that, even a mouth-frothing Trump supporter knows The Dark Knight is better than G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Jonah Hex. Not even the people who made those movies think they are any good. 

And in case anyone doesn’t know, he’s black. So this is even more obvious than his usual troll jobs.

From his Wikipedia entry: “In January 2014, White was expelled from the New York Film Critics Circle for allegedly heckling director Steve McQueen at an event for the film ‘12 Years a Slave.’”

He is such a excellent troll

“The temerity of retelling a Spider-Man tale by pandering to the nonwhite demographic (and those who flatter themselves for condescending to it) reveals how brazen the media have become.”

I clicked on the link and this is his Spider-Verse review.

Holy fucking shit. *_*

The carpet should match the coach:
