Review by Matthew Christman Aquaman 2018 Watched Dec 20, 2018 Humankind is killing the ocean. That's not really disputable. One hundred years ago the seas were relatively pristine and hospitable to the countless creatures who live within them. AQUAMAN Now there's a continent- sized patch of plastic garbage in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, massive "dead zones" in the Film info & reviews Caribbean, and the Great Barrier Reef is a blanched skeleton. In another hundred years it's likely that the vast majority of Play trailer marine species will be extinct and the ocean will be a vast roil a BUY of steaming acid. If there is some sort of Atlantean civilization RENT BUY down there they would be fully justified in waging ceaseless GoWatchlt MORE war against us surface dwellers until we stop literally murdering their world. That's Kiing Orm's plan in Aquaman: to save the ocean from the depravity of civilization. Or...is it? Aquaman is the second big superhero movie of the year after Black Panther to introduce a "villain" who diagnoses a fundamental injustice in the global capitalist order, but who, over time, is shown to be driven in fact by a deep hostility to an estranged relative. In Black Panther, the exile Killmonger resents his cousin T'Challa's rootedness in Wakandan culture and society. In Aquaman, the role of exile and native son are flipped, but Orm is still driven by resentment of his earth- walking half-brother, who he blames for the death of their mother. The original model for this brand of post-crisis superhero is Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, who thunders away at the corrupt, decadent economic elite of Gotham before we learn that he's simply an incel acting out his frustration at being Friendzoned by Talia al Ghul. This is going to be the way of it from now on. As the economic and ecological ground continues to dissolve beneath our feet, Hollywood will find ways to psychologize away our nagging suspicion that something radical as to be done to save the planet, finding the source of our visceral urge for self-preservation and social justice in some happenstance of childhood trauma Individualizing and psychologizing away the pathologies caused by living under an unsustainable and nightmarish social order through mass media is neoliberalism producing the cultural antibodies that fend off the potentially-lethal infection of radical solidarity. The crucial work this ideological maneuver does can be demonstrated by how these villain shifts inevitably WEAKEN THE FILM. They reduce the villain to a squawking child, and more importantly, completely abandon the conflict that has before that point determined the shape of the story. Vanquishing the bad guy may take care of their daddy issues, but it does nothing about the problem the audience has been contemplating for the whole movie. It's obviously a staple of screenwriting that all the main characters need to have "personal stakes" in the story, and that's probably why the filmmakers THINK they're neutering their own narrative, but only something much deeper and more structural accounts for building these narratives up just to destroy them in the first place. Also there's f------ crabmen fighting laser-enhanced sharks. Pretty cool. Better than Venom. 184 likes

About

Chapo Trap House is a humorous political podcast with leftist spin hosted by Will Menaker, Matt Christman and Felix Biederman. They were later joined by journalists Virgil Texas and Amber A'Lee Frost. They are popular Twitter personalities, particularly in the leftist and Weird Twitter communities. The podcast is released weekly and skewers political pundits in the center-left and right, such as Ross Douthat of The New York Times and Dan McLaughlin.[3]

History

The three men first appeared together on the podcast Street Fight Radio to mock 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. Following the success they had there, they decided to start Chapo Trap House.[1] They released their first episode on March 12th, 2016.[2]

Their podcast was met with immediate praise, and it quickly became a cult-favorite among the shows' followers. The AV Club[4] wrote a favorable review of the podcast's second episode on March 28th, 2016, saying "it feels like an absolutely essential listen." On July 29th, they were interviewed by Paste Magazine,[1] and described their comedy as an alternative to leftist media which they find dominated by smugness. Christman described it as an alternative to:

"smug above-it-all snark of The Daily Show or the quaver-voiced earnestness of, like Chris Hedges or something. Neither of those models offer the visceral thrill of listening to people who actually give a shit (as opposed to the wan liberalism of people who are mostly interested in showing how much smarter they are than Republicans) but who don't believe that having a sense of humor is counter-revolutionary."

The group also received praise from The Advocate[5] and Mediaite.[6] Its critics include Reason[7] writer Robby Soave who accused the hosts of cheering for revoking freedom of speech for right-wing publications.

Online Presence

The group is most popular on Twitter. Individually, Christensen ( @cushbomb )[8] has over 15,500 followers, Menaker ( @willmenaker )[9] has over 13,700, and Felix Biederman ( @ByYourLogic )[10] has over 21,400. The @ChapoTrapHouse[11] Twitter has over 12,100 as of November 17th, 2016. The Chapo Trap House Facebook page[12] has over 2,000 fans, and their subreddit[13] has 669 readers.

Baseball Crank

Chapo Trap House is responsible for the Baseball Crank meme, in which the Twitter avatar of conservative blogger Dan McLaughlin was photoshopped into hundreds of famous photographs and works of art.

So you're saying they're a bunch of smug far-leftist who can't stand anything remotely right-wing or centrist? We definitely have a lack of those on the internet.

Easy there buddy. My dick can only get so flaccid.
