    The movie is not explicitly pro QAnon, but Caviezel is unhinged and a hard-core QAnon who referenced “the deep state” and “adrenochrome” in just about every single interview promoting the movie. Just because they watered down their message to make it more palatable to the masses doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to bamboozle people with their latest grift.

    They’re exploiting abused children in order to sell movie tickets and indoctrinate new followers by promoting some new ‘hero’ to rally around even though the dude is a proven liar and much of the story is completely fabricated.

    I can’t for the life of me understand why red-pilled individuals keep propping up some of the worst humans in existence as their idols, but I guess that comes with the territory when living in fantasy land.

      I mean, did the events in the movie happen, or not? If they did, it’s hard to see how that’s bamboozling exactly.

      Most people do not watch press junkets either by the way, so they probably are at worst, speaking to the choir, and at best, speaking into the void.

        But hey maybe it’s just me, as a conservative, not minding too much watching Hollywood movies starring conspiracy theorists, woke activists, cult leaders, etc. that when an indie movie does the same thing, it doesn’t really faze me.

        I couldn’t care less about Simu Liu being woke, for example, I just care if the movies that he’s in are good. Shang Chi was awesome, and I hope that Barbie is too.
