I think he is actually a clever writer. For about a decade there him and his writing partner were two of the only guys in Hollywood even attempting to carry on the ‘80s comedy tradition of dingy realism and gutter sarcasm. I think in subtle ways his movies went against the leftist narrative too. Superbad showed male friendship and bonding in a non-mocking way. Knocked Up was not a pro-abortion movie. This is The End showed a surprising amount of respect for Biblical prophecy and mocked Hollywood vanity and superficiality. The Interview is obviously anti-dictatorship.

Like really the guy should be on our side. He should be against politically correct watered-down activist “comedy”. I figure he was just too scared to go against the corporate media machine. Too bad because if they had cancelled him and his buddies, they could have made an independent Clerks-style comedy and probably scored a couple hundred million for themselves.
