is *STRANGE WORLD* actually 'WOKE GARBAGE'? | Movie Reaction + Review

First time watching Disney's Strange World! Are the critics right about this one? Or is Disney's first animated main gay character shaking the world?

I just watched this yesterday and think they needed to develop the story much better. What's a shame is that this is Disney's first movie with a main gay character, yet they made a fairly mediocre movie with an under developed character in Ethan as well. A couple more script re writes would've helped alot.

This movie was painfully average! >.< and I agree, justice for the character of Ethan because saying you like a boy over and over again is not the best representation. They should've fleshed out his character way more

I agree with the crush joining the adventure. Like they should make like a Luca situation but now they have confirmation.

I feel like for this to be the first movie with a main gay character, is so desponding. As you said yourself, we nearly got any scenes with them together, they had one in the beginning and in the end. They could have done so much better than that. It feels like the representation is there just because "they had to do it". Something like the film Luca would have been amazing gay representation.

I dig your reactions/first time watches. That's a pretty fair assessment of 'Strange World', honestly, even though I dug the movie myself, but it is - to me - very badly paced and has such an odd rhythm to it that doesn't fully immerse me into the film's setting or the characters' own worlds. It's probably an out-there opinion, but I've long felt that some animated movies need to be longer than just an hour and a half because movies like these jam-pack so much into them: An adventure story with multiple locations and stops/plot points, character arcs, themes, worldbuilding, etc. I know people will say "but kids can't sit for that long" (though they sit fine through a 2 1/2hr Marvel or Star Wars movie), but I say try to make something big and epic. Films like these create such cool worlds, but often times rush through them and we can't exist w/ the characters for a bit and breathe in the scenery. That all being said, I love it when Disney Animation tries cool things and I want them to keep trying, especially with the sci-fi action adventure genres. Also, as a queer, I loved the rep. The Ethan/Diazo stuff was very sweet, and it's great how no one living in the world of Avalonea bats an eye at such differences.

I totally agree with you. As a Disney fan, this was very disappointing. I felt like the story isn't smoothed out nicely as I thought it would be. The transition cutscene are bad timing exceptionally when there's a tender moment. The character development between the fathers and the son could've been more peak point of their journey rather than focusing on the hunt for the problem. It lacks the point of family and bonding moments. There wasn't lot of laughable moments but the blob definitely does help. I agree with the idea of have a dog character into this movie was too much. I kept thinking why they would put in an animal if there's another creature in the picture? It just felt like they tried so hard to make everything cute and funny. As for the expedition, it was hard to keep focused because there was no high stakes of feeling like the world depends on them. Lastly, the ending took me out and confusing. It would've been easier to look at it the ending as a "beginning" but the character doesn't know until until the actual ending where they find they're on a bigger creature. I don't know, it's disappointing and the story could have room for improvments and richer experiences.

I don't he would bring splat sense he's a immune system I have a feeling if he left his world he would maybe die outside of the body

[briannafrancis]

I literally JUST finished this movie as you uploaded😂😂

[jamesward]

I really enjoy your content, and you made good points. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas

PS: you gonna get to review Glass Onion (movie of the year in my opinion)

[yoknom]

regarding the gay character only: I thought it was cute while watching it, but... thinking about it afterwards made it clear to me that they just try out how they can include the rep without getting a backlash from the queer community and still change it up enough to sell it to conservative countries (every scene between them can be seen as 'best friends' if you simply change the dialogue).

I'm queer, I'd love some representation, but the series Half bad: the bastard son and the devil himself was way better regarding that, sadly Netflix fucked up advertising and did not renew for a 2nd season :/

Honestly it doesn’t matter if the movie sucked or not your commentary made this video your effin hilarious 😭😂and honestly I don’t think the movie was that bad 😭🤷🏽‍♂️😂❤️as always love yaaaa❤️💕😍Happy

I don't want Becky's love. I want Henry Cavill back as Geralt in The Witcher!

[StanleyMabonga]

I hate the word "Woke" cause the right wingers have made it a negative word. Cause representation and social justice causes are good things.

[I_Luv_DILFS]

I actually thought this movie was really cute😭

[KennyMrTerrellThisIsTheWay]

Hi Becky You look so pretty⚘, Love your reaction to stranger world, how are you seeing it on your channel I just saw this movie in theaters 2 weeks ago ? I wish you a merry Christmas🎄🎁❤💚

[willgenre]

"woke" doesn't mean anything but it definitely says something about those who use it

Honestly I liked the movie. I went in with no knowledge whatsoever, no trailers. I only knew it existed and failed and that's it.
I knew about the gay character and I thought it was Searcher but got pleasantly surprised.
And as a gay guy myself I have to say it's good. It's obviously not the best representation BUT the best we've gotten so far as it was direct and not like "I don't love that way". Could they have more? Yes. But I feel like they haven't because Disney is still afraid of having a gay character.
They could have literally made Ethan or Diazo a girl and nothing would have changed, it'd probably have gotten much better advertisement if they did.
But here's hope that Disney does more with Strange World in order to flesh out what they could have improved on

We would be friends because when I first watched it I was waiting for the dog to die too 💀
