listen, if you believe Glass Onion's message of bashing super rich people is a form of "self"-critique, then you clearly don't understand who the 1% are.
When Rian Johnson calls out fake Elon Musk in his fun detective movie, this is not an attempt at "self-deprecating humor". Rian Johnson is "I own nice houses"-rich, he is not "I control nations, wars, economies, and the livelihoods of millions"-rich like Elon Musk is.
Rian Johnson is closer in his wealth to you than he is to Elon Musk, by far.
I am all for holding rich people accountable, I support calling out the Hollywood industry. But we *need* to learn to tell billionaires and millionaires apart, or our criticism of the political system will be fraught.
A visual comparison, thanks to Humphrey Yang on YouTube (not an endorsement, I don't know what the rest of his videos are like)
First we see one hundred thousand dollars, represented by a single grain of rice. Alongside is one million dollars, represented by ten grains.
Now we see one million dollars compared to one billion.
This is a transitional frame to show how much we have to zoom out before the next comparison...
And here's Elon Musk's 2020 net worth, thirty billion dollars.
Keeping that scale in mind, see how much we have to zoom out to see his 2022, pre-Twitter net worth of one hundred and ninety five billion dollars. Note that the pile is so big Yang couldn't even fit it in frame without making the note too distance to read.
Now look back up, and remember that the average person doesn't even make a fraction of a single grain.
Rian Johnson is quite wealthy, but the most generous estimations of his net worth don't even place him at a quarter of the third pile. To put a someone like Rian Johnson in the same category of wealth as Musk, Bezos, Gates et al, is like putting a public pool in the same category as the Pacific Ocean. Both have more water than your bathtub, but they are absolutely not the same.
au where pennywise appears in derry, northern ireland instead of derry, maine. IT’s just the derry girls beating the shit out of a clown.
I haven’t watched Derry girls yet but these tweets made me cackle
Ok so you know the thing that talks about how Percy and Annabeth’s fatal flaws are the reason they both ended up in Tartarus. Annabeth because of her pride and Percy for his loyalty for her. But the thing is that wasn’t fatal they both survived. Soooo either they were able to overcome it with the power of love they have for each other or because after they finally got out that everything they had to go through made them dead inside.
You show a cat something and they're like sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff ooooh I understand now. Don't care
