Somebody is really salty that M3GAN beat Avatar 2 on Friday.
What's the deal? Are you losing your ass on Disney stock, or do you just jerk off to your poster of James Cameron everyday?

6ix, M3GAN is the Joker personality downloaded into a fembot.
The reality of late-stage capitalism can be tough for anyone; for all four feet of M3GAN, it might be even worse. She’s a boundless intellect inside a nearly indestructible body, coded too hastily to have been given a moral compass. At the core of it, she’s understood by everyone except Cady as a commodity, not a being in her own right. So yes, becoming a smart-ass is only natural, even if murder is a bit harsh. We’re all going down with the ship that is the 21st century, passing the time with a few TikTok dances along the way. This killer doll can teach us a few.
One of the marks of a good scary movie is the irresistible urge to identify with the killer. M3GAN certainly doesn’t make it tough to see its villain as an extension of our collective id, considering the people she offs are so cartoonishly evil. But the movie succeeds in updating the formula for a fresh audience. M3GAN piqued the interest of a young (and extremely online) fanbase with her studio’s canny marketing strategy; in theaters, she’s more than delivering on both the snark and the dancing. She’s a bitchy little doll, but she’s our bitchy little doll, you know?
None of this is to take M3GAN more seriously than it takes itself. (Again, this movie includes a cover of a David Guetta song.) Ask anyone why they love the robot and they’ll probably give you a normal, non-essay answer like, “She dances!” It’s really not that deep — even if M3GAN is a punch line to a joke that’s a touch more personal than we’d like to admit.

M3gan is about how scary a tween girl can be
There are few things scarier than girls who know too much.
My favorite way to terrorize my former coworker and current friend is by asking her what will happen when her two daughters — 7 and 4 (their ages, not their names) — eventually become pre-teens.
“Are you dreading it?” I texted her over the holidays, my first instinct after receiving her holiday card. In the photos everyone is smiling, having a fantastic time.
“1000 percent,” she wrote back.
Speaking as a former child and person of eighth grade experience, her fear is warranted. Tantrums, mood swings, and bad behavior all get bigger (and worse) when kids become 5-foot sentient beings. Making everything more terrible, kids are also surrounded by other kids, all of whom are testing the new limits of their own autonomy.
And at that age, I did not fear death or injury the way I did the hot glare from a trio of preternaturally cool girl best friends in my Catholic grade school (I’m not going to name those girls because maybe deep down I’m still terrified of them).
Those girls were my M3gan.
On the surface, M3gan is a horror movie about a murderous, rogue AI, but it’s also an hour-and-30-minute camp meditation about how a pretty white girl best friend can be one of the most terrifying things in American life.
While M3gan — a fancy little robot built to be the best friend of preteen Cady (Violet McGraw) — is indeed capable of homicide, the scariest thing about her is that M3gan has, in a very short time, learned how the world works — that violent boys won’t discipline themselves and that girls who get too smart get silenced. M3gan knows more about the world than the adults who created her want her to, and that’s a profoundly scary thing.

lol You seem to care a lot. Did you pirate and watch it yet?
I haven't seen it.
Meanwhile, in six days it's grossed over 5 times its production budget worldwide. A feat that Avatar 2 will never be able to claim by the time it leaves theaters.

What do Joker and M3GAN have in common besides a large number of murders? In both, the audience gets to see the consequences of goal-seeking for fame/adoration/pleasure. At least Joker and M3GAN weren't lusty, gluttonous, greedy, or covetous.

Not my favorite movie. I've only seen it once and that was enough.
At least I paid for it. How many times did you watch your pirated copy, Arthur. Let's revisit all of your sick posts here, psycho:

Like you?
The rich guy who refuses to pay for shit and steals everyone else's intellectual property and tries passing it off as his own?
M3GAN is a horror flick. Of course it's not going to do as well as nearly any other genre. Take the cock out of your ass bro. I think you need to downsize to a much smaller one because it's making you cranky.

Once again, the quote you've taken from me has absolutely nothing to do with your inane response.
If nothing else, at least you're consistently predictable.
Why do you care so much about M3GAN? You still butthurt that it knocked Avitar 2 from 1st place last Friday?

Oh. You're baiting me, huh?
To what end, Hannibal?
