A few months ago, the trailers for both Insatiable and Sierra Burgess is a Loser dropped. What is colloquially known as Woke Twitter immediately denounced Insatiable, instead encouraging people to watch other Netflix project Sierra Burgess.

From the moment the casting was announced for Solo, I was dreading seeing this movie. It sounded like a trainwreck. I didn’t think Alden Ehrenreich looked anything like Han and every story from the set made this movie sound like it was doomed to fail. As time wore on, I figured this would be a
