    Maybe my tolerance for the uncanny valley is just less than other peoples', I don't know. But the face unnerves me.
    From the perspective of a traumatized kid stressed by bullying, the movie's premise makes enough sense so far.

    Baby steps. Remember Skynet wasn't able to produce stealth human flesh Terminator right away either.

    I didn't know who Andrew Tate was before this, saw the tweet and thought Greta Thunberg's burn was awesome. But now that I've learned more about this asshole, and that the authorities found out his location because his wounded pride had him make a dumb rant video? Hell yeah Greta!

    Burned on so many levels.

    And yeah, Greta basically made him look like an idiot.

    4 episodes. No fucking about. No decompressed storytelling. Just a simple plot and good arsekicking.

    Meldof is perfect.
    May have to watch this for the Yeoh factor.

    This.

    This is a good way to end the New Year and begin a better one.

    He's committed one of the classical blunders.

    I can't even fathom getting so entirely devasted on an a mediocre burn on the interwebs.

    I mean, don't get me wrong, he got entirely destroyed in their exchange, but it's not like Greta works for roastmasters. It was good, but given how badly his jimmies got rustled, you'd swore she sat down here and gave him shit about specific details of his life. She seemed more casually annoyed at being mentioned by him than anything, and yet...

    ...Where was I? Oh right. I can't fathom getting so devastated by such a mediocre burn that you basically goad yourself (I mean, it was in response to Greta, but he picked the fight) into self-destructing like that.

    I'm at once deeply amused, and also saddened by the lack of emotional self-control on some level. It's a magical blunder.

    This is why I strive to be the perfect bastion of stone cold emotionless logic I am.

    I'M NOT GONNA BUFOON MYSELF, GOD DAMNIT.
