So I'm guessing this is basically a pump and dump directed squarely at his own neckbeards who will fall over each other to give him more money.

I really don't mind him pumping Doge. I still have 10k of them floating around, those are now worth 920 Euro. Last time he went bananas with his Doge loving I bought the 62 Impala.
And all that for 10 euros of investment.
We need a polished poopie emoji.

Critics and the public are often way far apart with a bunch of films. It's why a Marvel movie can rake in a billion dollars and never win an Oscar. Critics are, well critical and look at a movie from all angles, whereas the general public typically just wants to be entertained.

He's right, but the tweet he's quoting looks to be picking at what could be an underlying, irrelevant issue.
Going by the comments, I'm confident I'm on the mark. Someone pointed out how well Guardians did with Pratt as the lead role, to which BoredElon tried to counter with Dominion & The Tomorrow War. I'm a gigantic Jurassic Park fan, and sorry, Dominion did kind of stink (& that's me not trying to cry saying that). Fallen Kingdom being mid-way (47%) & World (71%) immediately counter his point. Tomorrow War sucked major ass with big plot holes.
Critics don't have a problem with Pratt. They appeared to have reviewed this film from their perspective rather then perspective I've seen others approach, that this is a kid's movie, first and foremost so it's probably not going to be as in-depth & laid out to adults because it's made to make kids happy and sell Nintendo's brand. Overall, I have still seen it concluded as good movie that does what it was set out to do.
What's the problem with Chris Pratt? Is it his rendition of Mario's voice which most people who've watched it, seem completely ok with. Or...is this another right-wing persecution fetish at hand where they believe Pratt isn't liked by liberal Hollywood because he's such a good, proud Christian man they believe the left has tried to "cancel"?

Supposedly people have a problem with Chris Pratt because they said he belonged to the Hillsong Church, even though he's come out and said he'd never gone there. I don't know the full scope of the "controversy" but based on some things I've seen floating around social media, it has to do with the church's anti-LGBT stance or something.

I don't like Chris Pratt because he was a) crap and b) literally just him in the first three things I saw/heard with him in, and I've neither seen nor heard anything with him in since that this didn't also apply to. I think Guardians of the Galaxy 1 was the third thing (might have been the second, and I watched a couple of episodes of the sitcom he's in afterwards), so I was on the "Can Chris Pratt be over now?" train early.
I mean, he's not particularly unique in not being a particularly versatile actor. Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, maybe Michelle Rodriguez all barely act and just play themselves in pretty much everything they've ever been in, but I don't find them particularly crap (mmm... not a fan of Jack Black though). Jeff Goldblum these days as well - albeit after a back catalogue of quite a lot of acting, so he's forgiven. Pratt's just not very good at it.
By all accounts he's not especially bad in All The Mario References Everywhere All At Once - many reviews point to the chronic underutilisation of Charlie Day and the existence of Seth Rogen (another "it's just me" "actor") - but he's a celebrity lending his voice to a character rather than a voice-actor doing voice acting (like when he was Emmet in The LEGO Movie), which pissed a lot of people (and voice-actors) off.
Lots of people started hating him because of Infinity War: Star-Lord chucked a tantrum on Titan and killed half of everyone as a result. Because people are idiots.
