Oh an Julio, one more thing... Did you actually read the article of your fellow colleague?
I just want to elaborate my comment here.
Article title: "F9 exists in a parallel universe where Red's Hydrogen One was a good phone"
Some of the article texts: "Case in point: in the trailer, the disappointing Red Hydrogen One phone is the handset of choice for multiple characters, as it adorns the dashboards of their cars. You see, in the F9 universe, Red never abandoned the phone business and the Hydrogen One wasn't an overpriced critical failure."
1. In the movie trailer, the phone is never been on focus, mentioned or given any clues about its brand, the fact is, the phone is visible for a brief moment, and if you don't pause on it you won't see anything, let alone tell what the phone is, so you can't even consider it as ad.
2. No were anyone say anything about it, let alone being good or bad. But how your colleague comes up with that title is beyond me.
3. The Red's Hydrogen One has one specific function (module connector on the back) where you can connect different modules to it and expand its functionality, and from the shot we see there is something attached to it, so maybe the entire point of showing this phone is that it can serve specific function related to the car that normal phones can't do.
4. Your colleague fail to see way more interesting tech in this trailer like:
The strange test dummy with night goggles
The strange laptop with the 3 VGA ports
So as I just explained and given the facts, you can see how this article is very VERY low quality, and the focus of it is sucked out of a scene that is not even on "focus" in the trailer and its blurry entierly. But the article author is making conclusions and finds hidden messages and uses them to write as title.
I'm sorry but I find the article to be offensive to me as reader of Techspot, as I expect quality tech articles, not some personal hate flame toward a very successful 6 billion movie franchise and a brand for no reason.
As Techspot reader I tough you were more serious website where it avoids click bytes and write articles based on facts and research not from personal vendettas with imaginary conclusions.
I don't mind constructive criticism towards the movie or trailers, or even personal review on it, but to write an article based on a blurry 1 sec shot of equipment and make conclusion from it about the franchise... seriously...
In the light of that, I think that not only this article should be removed from Techspot, but also you should reconsider your comments policy, as I have not been offensive at all and all I have said is asking why this article exists and why it is on Techspot at all. In fact I think I was very kind. And maybe next time before you consider my comments offensive and delete them, maybe you should read your articles first.
Cheers
See what I just did there?
