@GiggukAZ The ending of Attack on Titan was 10/10 and the people who idolise Eren fell into the trap which the story was explicitly criticising (that the cycle of violence radicalises its victims and turns them into monsters who perpetuate it under the false banner of righteousness).
Profoundly cynical to build a leadership campaign by condemning policies for which Jenrick himself was partially responsible as a minister in Government.
That someone this unserious is frontrunner for leadership shows how little the Tories have learned.
Deport foreign criminals and bar them from returning.
Build more prisons and lock up career criminals for longer.
That’s how we build the safe Britain we need.
@IanDunt Given the rancid collection of barrel scrapings they’re choosing between, there’s no result which isn’t apocalyptically embarrassing for the Tories.
@deisterb@airbagged You know how in movies it seems kind of silly how the goons square up one by one to the main character and just get bodied one after another, each one thinking somehow they’ll be the one who manages not to immediately get destroyed? Sometimes I think about that.
@BrndnStrssng I loved the movie, but this line and that other fucking abomination (you know what I’m talking about) made it tangibly worse than it would have been without them.
@IamStaplez @VirtualChrisDow @anabelle_dawn It’s a shame you didn’t like it. I never felt like anybody’s motivations were confusing, but I guess some stories click for some people and others don’t! That said, putting it down to “bad writing” is reductive when it’s evidently subjective
@JokerCritic I actually really liked that about it. Given the director, I think the choice to exercise restraint was deliberate, and helped evoke the tone of the older movies (which were violent but never gratuitous). Leaning away from gore means leaning more into dread, which Romulus nailed!
