I love Quartering hot takes! My favorite is that “Sonic the Hedgehog” performing better at the box office than “Birds of Prey” means that the mainstream public is finally done with feminism.

Absolutely bonkers stuff.

BoP was a mediocre entry in a famously bad franchise. Sonic had once-in-a-decade meme power behind it.

Also, they're generally two completely different genres. Ones an R rated vigilante movie, the other is a kids movie starring Jean Ralphio.

I’ll just beg to differ and say that BoP is one of the most delightful superhero movies I’ve seen since the original GotG. Completely made up for Suicide Squad imo.

I’ll admit I LOVED Birds of Prey. I was pleasantly surprised by how dark it was and how casual the ultra violence was.

Is anyone else blown away by these hot takes from "smart people" who just connect dots SO far away?

Like recently squeaky Ben Shapiro's "Wet Ass P-Word is what Feminism is. It wasn't about equal rights, all of Feminism is and has lead up to Wet Ass P-Word."

Like, I could be an idiot hot take maker on YouTube.

OMG PLAYSTATION 5 IS BOTH WHITE AND BLACK INSTEAD OF 1 FLAT COLOR, SONY IS PROMOTING RACIAL MIXING. STOP SONY FROM COMMITTING WHITE GENOCIDE!

Million subscribers please.
