The new JUMANJI movie is a bona fide smash having earned almost $800 million worldwide, and it’s a movie Dwayne Johnson is probably quite proud of. So, if you’re a viewer who demands Johnson respond to your nitpicking observation, you better be prepared to get the People’s Clapback, because Johnson will put you down for the three-count.
Twitter user James McMahon recently took to Twitter to address a gripe he had with the movie’s video game logic, including the words “FUCK THE NEW JUMANJI” (only to say the movie was "quite good"). Johnson promptly responded to shed light on his complaint, only to deliver the most epic Rock Bottom ever…in Twitter terms, that is.
I went to see the new Jumanji. FUCK THE NEW JUMANJI. Here’s a spoiler. There is no way a character in a video game would lose a life, then be respawned still in possession of the item required to win. That’s some bullshit. What say you @TheRock? Otherwise it was quite good

Actually my friend, in the JUMANJI Lore Handbook, it clearly states in article 72 of section 7, that “any character who loses a life, shall return to their original state with any item they possessed at the time of their demise”. So kindly go f*ck yourself James.

McMahon’s tweet refers to the aspect of the movie where each of the avatar characters in the movie (one played by Johnson) have three lives. Upon losing one, they respawn back to where they just were. Regardless of what you think about the logic of this in a movie where teens get sucked into a video game, the moral of the story is don’t come at Johnson with your gripes. He’s a busy man but has no qualms about coming at you from the top rope. Get enough of these wrestling bits?
