Why is the new Malcolm in the Middle getting rave reviews despite being total trash?

Pure leftist reddit garbage.

Thanks for destroying something good of the past again.

hello, have you been living in a cave for 10 years?
>>
>>219661222
Because it's ultra woke. Leftists will force themselves to pretend they liked it for political reasons.

So is this show trying to equate the minor pranks of 2000s suburban teenager rebellion, with modern day suburban teenager gender/sexual identity form of rebellion?

I grew up in a home with feral boys
My mom was completely overbearing
This show made me feel so fucking seen
The episode where lowis tries to clear a traffic jam by yelling at the workers literally happened when I was a kid
So did literally getting in a fist fight with my little brother after our mom drug us into therapy
Hear they are doing a reboot
Excited to see more of my relatable feral boys show
Maybe they'll do a episode where one of the boys catches a rattlesnake by the head but doesn't know what to do next with the stupid thing so he carries it around the house freaking out
Or a episode where one of the boys is so behind in school that mom cancels Christmas for the whole family
What highjinks will tey get into
>it's about girls
Why couldn't they let me have one thing?
Fuck the reboot

Because pushing a "new normal" is their goal. They think they can brainwash you into believing this is just how things are now. They think if they keep bombarding you with it in everything you'll believe their fantasy is reality. So critics must all play along and champion the latest product pushed out that advances the "message" they want you to believe

Never ask for reboots again

I don't know why this couldn't stay dead, there isn't anything interesting to mine out this show. It's fine for what it was but they're never going to actually have any catharsis with modern writing.

will people lose their minds if they acknowledge that the brain doesn’t pop out of the uterus knowing exactly what kind of sexual attraction they have (but only regarding whether it’s to peen or vagina)?

>>219674742
idk the only "wokescold" moment was the non-binary speech in the middle of hal's video which took a bit too long and while not even that preachy it did feel a bit out of place especially with how emotional and candid it tried to get for a character we barely knew anything about.
>>
>>219673490
Because that's what works. And while "born that way" is not literally true, it is true that people do not choose what they find sexually attractive, so it's a distinction without a difference.

The alternative is to expect people to accept the principle of human freedom; that a person has a right to be "gay," regardless of whether they choose to be or because it's their natural state, and that right is not contingent on the approval or consent of others. But that's never going to happen.

There have always been shills, but I used to be able to read individual comments & pick out real ones.
now I cant; the shills have gotten more sophisticated. Im blind as cattle now.
>>
>>219675718
Because its both. Some people are born with the genetics to potentially be gay. Then those markers may activate under specific conditions.

In nature, those conditions are scarcity of resources and/or breeding partners. Since being gay is essentially bowing out of the reproductive process (in a state of nature), they don't compete and fight with their siblings for resources. They will actually contribute to their nieces/nephews, giving the family (and a part of their own genetic makeup) a leg up. So its advantageous to have a gay gene that can be activated from an evolutionary perspective, but not activated in all cases.

>what about gay women?

>wrote his reply before reading more than 30% of the post.

As based as that is, i explained that in times of lean, supporting your siblings kids (and some of your genes) is a safer bet than competing and potentially ending the whole family line. In times of plenty the genes are passed on normally.

Most intelligent take on the character so far, but the flaw in the point is that Kelly is specifically trying to be the one child who doesn't disappoint her parents?

The only other idea that comes to mind in plot would be after Hal and Lois raise 4 boys, they are so locked in and have expectations of how a child is that they didn't know how to raise anything other than a boy, or she just envirs her brothers?
I'm not justifying this as a plot line, don't like it much and she doesn't add anything to the story. I would have got a lot more from the story if they just let us see how the unique daughter actually fit into the family dynamic.

But really, we didn't even need another character shoehorned in for the sake of it. We never even get to find out who Jaimie became other than a muscly irresponsible jar head.
>>
>>219665097
Agreed.
People have been calling him a man child and woman, but I thought it was a good portrayal of showing what a sensitive man can be like. Something that I've seen happen to dads as they get into their 60s onwards when they can soften. Hal was always sensitive already so it makes sense for this to escalate.
The joke is he's the one who expresses the feelings that Lois can't and why they complete each other.

Really liked seeing him confront and integrate his shadow.
The overdone psychobabble between Malcolm and Leah (and even Reese which seems above his intelligence level) annoyed people from what I pick up here, sure I understand how that is grating. I found Hal's psychedelic therapy session was actually a pretty accurate representation and well written however. Even if the psychology could have been entirely cut out of the show for the sake of staying more true to the original.
