It's been a long, long time since we've talked about Logan Paul. Like many of you, I chose to pretend that he and his brethren don't exist. I ultimately gave up even pretending to harbor an ironic dislike for the guy after the whole "Suicide Forest" incident in Japan at the start of 2018 (end of 2017?) Since that incident, he is and has been, a nothingness to me.
Fast forward to 2021. Well, a lot has happened since that time, and I found myself reflecting this morning upon a tastefully thought-out criticism of Jordan Peele's new film NOPE. The surprising part? The criticism was laid out by Logan Paul. Have I actually fallen into a parallel universe? Is he being a reasonable human being now? Logan doesn't go in hard and fast on the film, picking it apart in the way you might have expected him to. Instead, he lays out a tasteful argument for why the film doesn't work for him, doing so in the sophisticated medium that is a Twitter thread.
It's surprising to seriously be able to utter the sentence "I agree with Logan Paul." but I think he has a point. Occasionally, critics and the internet unite to bandwagon over a film that just really isn't that good, and I believe this is one of those times. (Another being the first DC Universe Wonder Woman.) But people are entitled to their opinions and allowed to be excited about things that I'm not. So that's ok.
Have you seen NOPE? What are your thoughts? Do you "agree with Logan Paul"?
