Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I liked it. A lot

But maybe its not a good movie on its own merits. I feel this could have been a mediocre movie if you took away the Mario IP and used new characters instead.

But as it is, it felt like a movie made for the fans. Basically 90 minutes of pure fan service.

Hope they make a Nintendo Cinematic Universe like Marvel. The NCU
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

@Dr.Suave is it worth it? I was asked to go see it with some buds, but felt somewhat opposed to it given Chris Pratts voicing mario and yada yada

If you are a big fan of the games, then yes, totally worth it and enjoyable imho. Its a popcorn movie.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Bump.

Appently the movie is being very succesfull in many metrics, despite the woke and lgbt+ community trying to boicott it for not being woke and inclusive.

I think cinematic universes inevitably lead to the horse being beaten to death.

Marvel should have stopped at Endgame.

Yeah, I guess you are on to something. The MCU has not been the same after Endgame.

I mean, I liked the Spiderman Movies a lot but most MCU stuff post endgame has been Medicore vs before Endgame I liked everything Eexcept Captain Marvel. Maybe they should have stop introducing new characters after Endgame and just finish the remaining contracts/storylines like Spider-Man, Guardians vol 3, Loki, etc.

Had to go see it cause my friend's nephews wanted to. It is definitely a kid's movie. But you can tell Hollywood's rampant feminism struck again as we saw Princess Peach turned into an annoying female action character that not only took the spotlight, but she could beat up anyone, was never hurt, and she belittles everyone around her. Sounds familiar? Cause it is. Mario's name is on the title but it's technically a Peach movie. The Rey Skywalker trope strikes again.

Another woke trash.
