In Brief:
Chris Pratt had the last laugh after "woke critics" on Rotten Tomatoes certified his new Amazon Prime show, The Terminal List, as "rotten," FoxNews reports. Pratt posted a photo of the Austin Powers character Dr. Evil with a caption reading “One point six BILLLLLLLLLION minutes.” The caption is alluding to a Nielsen report that claimed viewers devoted 1.6 billion minutes to watch the show so far this month.
The Background:
Chris Pratt recently blasted back at “woke critics” when his series was criticized by writers in media outlets such as the Daily Beast and Slate for being “an unhinged right-wing revenge fantasy. An invitation to worship at the altar of the Navy SEALs.”
The Terminal List follows Pratt playing Navy SEAL commander James Reece as he embarks on a mission to find out who killed his platoon and enact revenge. Rotten Tomatoes reports an average rating of 40/100 from critics but 94/100 from viewers according to Daily Wire.
The show’s official Instagram account reported that The Terminal List was the number one show on Prime Video.
