“Two things can’t happen at once on planet earth!!!!”

Get Out was so good that it set incredibly high expectations for him. That one is understandable, if not a little unfair to him.

However, there is another reason he gets criticized so much: he became a target of right wing culture warriors because of the social commentary in his movies and because he said he wanted to tell stories with black people as the leads. Apparently that makes him racist against white people somehow? Lol

You’ll see these type of people hating on him pop up in threads in this sub all the time.

Edit: Yup, they’re here right now, right on cue

Yeah saying Nope has no substance is just straight up wrong. You can argue whether it executed its ideas well or not, but it definitely has a lot of depth.

On top of everything you mentioned, Nope also has a lot to say about the human desire for spectacle, even at the risk of our own safety or despite its negative effects on society.
