Yeah. I didn’t like Rio 2 either…

[-]

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

OP's take is absurdly misinformed and drenched in projection. It’s clear they either didn’t watch the movie or twisted its narrative to match some personal grievance. The events they described don’t happen in Rio 2, and the characters' dynamics are far more wholesome and lighthearted than the bizarrely dark interpretation they came up with. The film is about family, self-discovery, and protecting nature, not some convoluted "cucking" drama. This unhinged rant says far more about his mindset than it does about the actual movie. It’s a wild mix of bad faith assumptions and exaggerated victimhood masquerading as criticism. It’s fair to critique stuff with a critical eye, but you have to at the very least be factually correct about the events of the movie.

Dry_Personality7194@reddit

Like I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But your didn’t refute a single point?

[-]

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

It’s absurd that someone would think being nice is equivalent to flirting. It’s not, unless you’re stuck in some bizarre incel mindset where basic kindness is transactional. Blu helping Jewel wasn't about trying to earn her, it’s about personal growth and doing what was right. The idea that she "pity likes" him is pure projection with no basis in the film. Their relationship developed naturally, rooted in mutual respect and shared experiences, not some shallow, one-sided dynamic.

As for Roberto, the film doesn’t paint him as some “Chad” or romantic rival. He’s just a confident, charismatic bird who happens to know Jewel from the past. Their interaction doesn’t diminish Blu’s relationship with her. It challenges him to find his place in an unfamiliar environment. There’s no betrayal, no cucking, and nothing close to what was fabricated in OPs post.

The points weren’t ignored, they were never real to begin with. OPs critique says far more about his own insecurities than the film itself.

It’s absurd that someone would think being nice is equivalent to flirting.

It's basically every men and women, unless you are so completely sexually harmless, that the girl would rather assume you're a kid and she's being motherly. Seeing how you're defending Rio 2 on Reddit like it's a hidden cinema gem, I suspect you're used to that asexual attitude. Maybe to the point you think it's normal, and that we're the weird ones.

basic kindness is transactional.

Yes, it is. You can hide yourself behind a "I'm just being a decent person", but your non-spoken script here is "I just wanted the gratefulness and the social merit of appearing like a decent person....but I can't admit that, so I'll just downplay it....but please i'd really like some of that...but I'm not asking. but please?". Formidably unattractive to women and men alike.

Toxic nice guys scour the earth with tired feet, trying to appear like "heroes not looking for praise". It reeks of despair, and nobody's fooled by it. Not one bit.

magusx17@reddit

Your interpretation is completely unrealistic. You are projecting anthromorphic human behaviors onto birds.

It is actually the opposite. Cuckolding is a bird social construct that humans imitate. It is clear that Blu is a cuck and his offspring are probably actually Roberto's

[-]

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

Your whole "Blu is a cuck, and Roberto’s the real dad" thing is just ridiculous. You’re accusing me of projecting human behavior onto birds while you’re the one twisting the movie into some weird cuckold fantasy that doesn’t exist. These aren’t just regular birds, they’re talking, singing, anthropomorphic characters. They literally have dance-offs. Real bird behavior doesn’t apply here, and you know it.

Rio 2 is about Blu dealing with his insecurities and finding his place, not some fucked-up love triangle. Roberto isn’t even a rival, he’s just a flashy old friend, and nothing about the movie suggests betrayal or infidelity. You’re reading way too much into something that’s just not there, and it’s honestly kind of embarrassing. Maybe chill out and enjoy the movie for what it is instead of forcing your nonsense onto it.

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

Yeah, nah, I’m not playing this “you fell for it” nonsense. Responding isn’t about “falling for” anything, it’s about shutting down bad takes, whether they’re genuine or trolling. It’s not for the troll, it’s for anyone else reading. The idea that someone posting unhinged garbage suddenly becomes clever or funny just because they’re “trolling” is ridiculous.

And honestly, if your takeaway is “Haha, you fell for it,” instead of addressing the actual conversation, then congrats, you’ve contributed nothing. That’s just peak lazy internet smugness. Sit down.

magusx17@reddit

Your attempts at ad hominem and strawmanning a hypothetical projection are very obvious and ineffective. Its apparent you have a lot of simp and white knight baggage, it's ok.

Blu has all the qualities of a good parent. He's caring, nurturing, understanding. These are not the qualities of a sexually competent partner. This is why birds invented cuckolding. Females can get the best of both worlds.

Throughout the movie Blu is humiliated as he simps for Jewel, feeding her and her offspring while being scolded and rejected by her parents. This reaches a climax where Blu scores against himself in a football match. Its very obvious this parallels screenwriter Don Rhymers real life experiences as a cuckold in his second marriage

[-]

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

This is some next-level delusion. You're so far down the rabbit hole of your weird cuckolding fantasy that you're now making up biographical drama about the screenwriter to back up your nonsense. That’s not a critique of the movie anymore it's you projecting onto it, plain and simple.

Your whole argument about Blu not being a "sexually competent partner" is just bizarre. It’s a kids' movie about talking birds, nobody’s watching Rio 2 to analyze the sexual dynamics of animated macaws. Blu isn’t "simping" for Jewel, he’s a family man who’s learning to adapt and grow. The football match wasn’t some grand humiliation, it was a goofy, lighthearted moment in a story meant for children.

And honestly, throwing around terms like "simp" and "white knight" just screams insecurity. You’re trying so hard to make this into some dark, edgy commentary when it’s literally just a fun, wholesome movie. Maybe take a step back and figure out why you’re so obsessed with forcing an innocent family film into this twisted narrative. It's not the movie that's the issue, it's you.

[-]

magusx17@reddit

Blah blah blah. You have not refuted a single one of my points. Instead, completely relying on ad hominem and your fantasy white knight strawman projection.

Take a look at your comments and tell me you are not doing an analysis of Blu's sexual fitness. You are not projecting your insecurities into a children's movie. You are not obsessed with a children's movie.

I find anon's commentary to be very on point and exactly fits the narrative in Don Rhymer's "At The Bleachers". I'm not sure why you are all over this thread trying to distract from anon's thesis.

I don't think you understand the subtle propaganda Disney is using in this film. Can you defend Roberto's character? What is his purpose in the film? How does he advance the plot? Please explain from a gender agnostic systemic analysis

FancyFrogFootwork@reddit

Imagine being so terminally online that your first instinct is to accuse someone of using ChatGPT because their response is articulate and makes sense. Instead of engaging with the content or offering a counterpoint, you immediately resort to conspiracy-level accusations about AI. If this "reads like ChatGPT," maybe that's a reflection on how uninspired and predictable your own arguments are by comparison. Instead of whining, try contributing something of actual value to the discussion for once.

Even if the movie did in fact have those things in it, I wouldn't be so hurt and relate to the movie so much. I'd just think it was depressing and whoever made it really has gripes about relationships. If OP really does take it personally, maybe he should consider his life choices and maybe attend therapy. If that's not in the movie, he should attend therapy sooner than later.
