It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
we dunk on libs and cons so much we sometimes forget centrists are worse. they are so. much. worse.

I was huffing a lot of cope about this movie for awhile. Garland directed my all-time favorite movie, Annihilation. I was hoping this one would be better than the marketing team was letting on. Maybe something about the US' extraordinary violence being brought back to the homeland, especially with the PoV of a journalist. Fuck.
Annihilation is based off a good book by Jeff vandermeer though, it seems Civil War is originally written by Garland
Oh for sure, but it's so wildly different in content (while perfectly preserving tone) that I was really impressed by how Garland adapted it. I was hoping some of that skill would transfer to this movie, but I guess he's too trapped in the hegemonic ideology :/
