"The Woke Bros" Respond to Hello Future Me w/ Random Film Talk

I think the reason they have stopped going after EFAP is simply that they are such a diverse bunch. Rags is an open (massive) homosexual, Jay is "Trans", Fringy is black and Mauler being from wales represents people with learning difficulties.

I found it very odd that HFM didn't include MauLer/EFAP in this and I wonder if he didn't want to include them because he thought that they would respond but none of the others would.

Nothing is more radicalizing than Little Platoons vaguely classical liberal well thought out film reviews.

I think the reason he deleted that section is because he found out that his assumption that people on the internet just stay in their echo chambers is incorrect. He was probably unpleasantly surprised to find out that a lot of his viewers also watch the "Woke Bros," or at least empathize with that perspective, and could see the flaws in his argument.

Platoon is just running the long con, once he gets all the females in his cave for safety, it's harem time.

Ahhh yes, The Little Platoon, well know anti LGBTQ creator 🤣

I like how one of the alternates he gives to these channels is Overly Sarcastic Productions who let their politics bleed into their analysis quite frequently 😂

HFM made sure to leave out Mauler because he wanted to make sure he wouldn’t get EFAP’d again 😂👏🏻👏🏻

It feels like HFM was trying to coin “Woke Bros” because he’s jealous of Gary’s “M She U” nickname taking off

I like Hello Future Me, mainly his book stuff, but I didn’t agree with a lot of his Rings critique. Rings was not mediocre, it’s was pretty terrible. I’d rather watch Xena, and that cost ridiculously less to make. Galadriel’s slow-mo horse ride on the beach was actually the worst thing ever put to screen

Seems like HelloFutureMe really said "Goodbye Past Me"

Just read the (now deleted) comment he left. Platoon is an absolute legend for that 😂

Get Random Film Talk’s name Out yo Gaddamn Mouth! But seriously, great to see Random making the rounds. You deserve the attention.

I watched HFMs video and was quite baffled to what lengths he went after his ROP critque. Left a comment there about how I disagree with his Wokebro list, in specific with Random being on it. HFM responded actually responded to my comment and acknowledged that he might have overdone it. Need to give him that

My heart sank when HFM chose to delve into attacking you and the critics. While I knew HFM's personal politics were left leaning, to his credit he mostly stayed out of commenting on social issues or if it was political; he made sure to make separate videos and not tie it to anything story or entertainment related(Japanese internment camps for example). But this bit really was a mask off moment. Talk about a void of self-awareness. Saying folks like you are trojan horsing politics and social issues into the entertainment sphere and yet he did it with ROP. On top of that, he was making horrible broad generalizations of you Platoon, RFTs to Shadiversity and Nerdrotic. I have issues with Shad but his criticisms, and others, aren't wrong about ROP. The social element of girl bosses and stuff do exist and they are surrounded by horrendous writing. Case in point, I doubt HFM was aware of Drinker praising series, like Blue Eye Samurai or Arcane, female led/ driven series because that would pop his narrative. Folks like HFM disgust me. Strong words but they try to act reasonable and centrist but they are no better than the folks they criticize. In their eyes, their political views are the only thing correct and anyone else is a heretic. And if I am to really delve deeply, I suspect he maybe a bit jealous. It's no shock that Drinker is near 2 million subs. That's insane for a movie channel and it shows he has a lot of reach and pull. HFM isn't small either with his fanbase. But while Drinker isn't perfect/ infallible; I think the fact that catchphrases like "The Message" are so widespread has folks like HFM terrified. And that's just sad. We all have relatively the same conclusions of ROP being bad and share mostly similar points. But can't be associated with us because tribalism and audience capture. It's why I unsubbed from him after leaving a lenghtly comment. I do like his older videos but it's clear he's changed for the worst.

Anyone who equates Peterson and Tate has clearly never watched either.

What bugs me is that, as someone with a large channel, who specialises in Fantasy writing, HFM could have been a really powerful voice in criticising Hollywood's abysmal attempts at fantasy from a left-wing perspective. i,e.: The Witcher could have been great representation for Slavic actors + culture The Wheel of time could have shown how racial profiling is generally a bad thing (like it does in the books). etc Regarding his response to the comments (about mental health and masculinity), I'd point him straight towards Greg Owen, Master Samwise and Pilgrim's Pass, all of who openly champion positive masculinity

Hello Future Me got covered during EFAP #250. He made a pretty poor case for why plot armor can be good. Also, I would totally buy a Super Woke Bros. shirt if y'all made them.

You all are great together... Random Film Talk should be on more.

Speaking of hypocrisy. Correct me if i'm wrong, because i only watched HFM video once and can't remember the details, but i'm pretty sure he mentioned channels he likes/is friends with as an alternative to watch, instead of all the channels he criticized. And the channels he mentioned were Daniel Greene and Lindsay Ellis, both of whom have made videos hating (instead of entirely giving constructive feedback) on JK Rowling speaking on women's issues as it relates to the whole trans thing.Tim criticizes the supposedly anti-feminist channels when he himself doesn't realize there is always another side to the coin and that the channels he recommends many women (and men) would find offensive and, dare i say, anti-feminist as well. Tim also says "don't be quick to anger" like Shad and Nerdrotic etc, watch these other people who are quick to-...I mean, always right and can never be wrong instead. I just found that funny :D
