Chris Pratt's The Tomorrow War is the love child of the manosphere and 'woke' father-of-daughter feminism

Dan Forester falling from the sky in a hail of fire while clutching a gun as he time-travels three decades into the future to fight a horde of aliens that look like a freakish fusion of flying squirrel and albino dinosaur. It’s the scene immediately following that, which opens on a Christmas party at Forester’s home.

He is a man adrift—without a father figure, stuck in a woman’s profession, with traditionally masculine bona fides that no longer serve a purpose.This familiar crisis of masculinity necessitates the intervention of Hollywood’s most far-fetched tropes and CGI trickery to reach any kind of resolution. That dramatic existential mediation is no doubt a balm for a core segment ofintended audience: men gripped by a degree of masculine insecurity that demands the deus ex machina of a future alien war.

, given a key plot point around melting glaciers, but it mostly strikes me as a testament to the lengths to which Hollywood will go in order to pander to the lowest common denominator of white, cis, heterosexual masculinity.—Americans from the future arrive in the present to ask for help fighting a losing war with aliens. In less than a year, all human beings will be “wiped from the face of the earth,” unless the people of the present help out.

THIS ARTICLE IS EVERYTHING. I shared it on multiple platforms because it made me completely reevaluate modern movies. MY BRAIN EXPLODED. Even the comments are giving me knowledge.

The media ALWAYS targets 'female panic' and that's why females are the main marketing and propaganda target. Women can be trained to get behind ANY media fad. Typically through virtue signaling. Please confront and reverse that, if possible.
