Dwayne Johnson may be a big Hollywood superstar now, but his days as The Rock won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
The former wrestler’s latest movie, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which sees a bunch of kids turn into their avatars when they’re transported into a video game, is making a killing at the box office. To date, it has grossed $771.2 million worldwide.
In spite of its popularity, one Tweeter, named James McMahon, had an issue with the film, specifically related to its video game mechanics:
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

Less than half an hour later, Dwayne Johnson replied:
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.

Of course, James McMahon had only wanted The Rock to acknowledge his existence, and for that he was truly grateful:
THE ROCK IS THE GREATEST HUMAN <3 https://t.co/6SiBbySiYC
