The thing is, any of his sound critiques of a movie can probably be found in any other Rotten Tomatoes critic's review, but he regularly blames standard pacing and story issues with mid-movies on the writer being too distracted by being woke to attend to those issues--which is nonsensical conjecture and completely at odds with how the filmmaking chain of command actually works.

Furthermore, his fanbase just presumes that he is one of the only people telling it like it is and the critics are all libs, and aren't going to bother to check that "woke" movies fail with critics all the time (Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman 84, Black Widow all got middling reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and movies he liked like Top Gun Maverick got glowing reviews). It's the same indoctrination model as any other conspiracy theory, where you use reasonable surface-level critiques as the basis from which to pivot into "They're all against you and hiding the truth from you, I am your sole source for insider information about this secret unconfirmed way to control you with an agenda," and cordon off a captive ideological bubble.

However, it's as much an example of US decline as any that the popular conspiracies of the day have gone from being about outright weather control and global ruling classes of Lizard people, to being about some blue haired executives sneaking a gay kiss into a Marvel movie or dialing titty jiggling physics down in a Tomb Raider game.
