Marjorie Taylor Greene gets into fight with Elon Musk's Twitter AI bot (www.newsweek.com)

Greene's squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: "I'm a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I'm a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come." ...

Another X user ran Greene's post through Grok, asking the AI bot, "[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?"

Grok responded by saying that while Greene "identifies as a Christian" by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, "her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate."

I just realized they do this exact same scene in the last dragon

No they don't. Bruce Leroy turns into the master and then beats up American Gladiator™ Lord Bowler.

In thriller, Michael Jackson turns into a lazy-eyed giggle snake.

LeRoy. BRUCE LEROY. Catchin BULLETS WITH HIS TEETH is also in the theatre munching popcorn exactly like Micheal.

Probably a coincidence, but you never know with that movie. It's brilliant on many levels.

I think that movie was meant to be a true celebration of black excellence wrapped in a fun package celebrating a growing appreciation for Asian culture. These were two groups who were being particularly oppressed and appropriated at the time.

That being said, I feel like you might be misremembering... This is what I remember from the popcorn scene in Last Dragon
