Makes sense.

The QAnon Christo-fascists are really gross.

Also - Mission Imossible opened much later than Sound of Freedom and will earn much more in domestic and international ticket sales.

I also don't know why anyone would want to see the Flash movie, especially if they know anything about the lead actor.

Qanon had nothing to do with the movie. Originally it was done by Disney and they refused to release it until they sold the rights to the movie to someone else.

Its intended audience and supporters are especially QAnon and Christo-fascist groups, because of similar theories and the QAnon rhetoric in the movie, and the QAnon main actor, so it's often referred to as 'adjacent' to these groups:

All left-wing sources are biased.

[–]g0ldfish 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

The sources are accurate, regardless of an attempt to dismiss them by someone who cannot develop a sufficient counter-argument.

Fact-check them and you'll find QAnaon has nothing to do with the movie no matter what liberal news sources say.

They are FACTUAL. I GENEROUSLY explained the QAnon connection. Re-read it.

[–]WoodyWoodPecker 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I did read it, but none of them actually saw the movie and just gave and opinion on it.

[–]IkeConn 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yes and troons, lefties, pedos, and queers are all butt hurt about it.

I wonder, are they really, or is that just the marketing strategy?

"Don't see this movie!"

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

"Steal this Book"

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yes. But supposedly no one went to see it.

Like seriously. Millionaires all donated like 1 million dollars for people to get free tickets. No one got the free tickets.

[–]catfishrising 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

That's a drop in the bucket: it grossed 155 millions dollars so far.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Right, so 155 millionaires.

[–]transbob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

People are starved for something real, even if the underlying story is something horrible.
