  God the surreal existential dread I just experienced from watching this video and in the middle of my viewing getting a news notification of another mass shooting that killed over a dozen people. It's moments like that that make me actually understand the inacation on this issue because how do people keep fighting for change through this absolutely paralyzing horror. I can almost sympathize with the people who'd watch this movie because obviously it's easier to watch an action fantasy where anyone can be a hero rather than confront the issue head on and let go of that imaginary world they'd rather live in.

  Also they actually killed a deer, and thus cannot state in their credits the most normal of phrases "No animals were hurt during the filming of this movie."

  The joke at the end of the video is extra-funny two years later because Ben Shapiro&apos;s video about <i>Barbie</i> was so cringe-worthy that some conservatives online accused him of being paid by &quot;the Left&quot; to make conservatives look bad

  &quot;It&apos;s worse than political, it&apos;s boring!&quot; is so fucking good of a line and I am stealing it

  The fact that they made the main character a woman with a black love interest to avoid accusations of sexism and racism all while bitching about &quot;woke&quot; Hollywood is so funny to me, this movie is ideologically indistinguishable from most action movies but Daily Wire viewers need to feel counter culture I guess

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAeYtzcUGEU&amp;t=241">4:01</a> I love that. Ben Shapiro accusing others of only judging movies based on their politics. He <i>only</i> judges other movies based on their politics, constantly decrying holywood as being &quot;woke&quot;, whatever he thinks that means

  Ben Shapiro ranting about how conservatives don’t get enough representation in media is the funniest thing ever

  Cassie Bernall’s story is heartbreaking. Her parents emotionally abused her for having friends that were gothic to the point that she had severe depression. She changed everything about her just to gain their affection, died in a pointless shooting by a psychopath, and now her death is being used as propaganda to force more children into a religion that ruined her short life. She is a victim turn martyr for a cause that did nothing but hurt her.

  Being able to say “my enemies are on Twitter” with a completely straight face is insane

  There’s such a weird tonal dissonance with the ‘serious’ framing of a movie about a girl running around the school fighting mini bosses like it’s a video game

  How does Ben Shapiro squeeze sooooo much unintentional irony in just a few minutes of monologuing with his angry Muppet voice?
