Who even asked for this movie anyway? It's like making an origin story to Clint Eastwood's The Man With No Name. Ruins the intrigue of the character and the backstory we as an audience can imagine for ourselves.

You're so ridiculously easy to upset it's actually comical. No really, thanks for my 20 minutes of entertainment value that I can't get anywhere else before I hop to bed.

Serious / Re: "Compelled" Speech« on: May 23, 2018, 03:02:19 PM »Calling someone a he when they don't want to be called a he is hardly comparable to a racial slur with hundreds of years of historic prejudice and hostility behind it.Speaking from your own biases here. Some old cunt from 1940 probably could just as easily feel that "nigger" does come off the tongue easily, and being able to just say "nigger" instead of otherwise describing a person is incredibly convenient.Whether or not "nigger" rolls off the tongue doesn't make it a word that's used for convenience or one of the main every day words in the English language. "Nigger" could be erased from the world and the English language would be fine, not the case for "he/she". I mean, it's a pretty fucking reductionist way of looking at this. I'm not trivialising trans people's experiences but it's insulting to draw an equivalence between the two. 402

Also the word nigger is offensive and very sensitive for us. Please refrain from using it." 403

If you're going to invite someone to be participatory on stage you can't then turn around and be buttblasted at them for rapping the lyrics to your own song.

Misgendering someone could be a simple misunderstanding. Even if it was intentional, it could simply boil down to a matter of personal belief, and nothing relating to hatred or incitement of violence to an individual. Not to mention you have to actually prove the speech was for malicious intent.it is my personal belief, nothing relating to hatred or incitement of violence, that your name is "fuckbrain" 405

So I'm not entirely sure how you would go about legally compelling people not to misgender someone. It's too much of a grey area. 408

Some of your posts can be a bit cringey, and read like you've copy and pasted directly from a boomer fb page or something. Although I've never found you exceptionally affronting, maybe you just rub people the wrong way.

The Flood / Re: Ranking MCU capeshit« on: May 12, 2018, 08:40:18 AM »What is everyone's main issues with Thor: The Dark World?Lame and forgettable villain, lame and forgettable plot, lame and forgettable characters and lame and forgettable dialogue. Like Maverick said, it comes across as a hapless cash in on the Avengers hype train without having to actually create a new an interesting phase two movie. Cheapen the effects and it could almost be considered an early 2000s Daredevil/Catwoman tier capeshit. Okay maybe not that bad but it's a pretty fucking innocuous movie compared to the others. 412

Does anyone else think Incredible Hulk sticks out like a sore thumb? Tonally it just doesn't come across as an MCU movie at all. I understand this was the initial building block of the universe building but if it wasn't for the shoe horned RDJ cameo you could almost forget this was part of the franchise.

The Flood / Re: Infinity War reaction and theories« on: May 07, 2018, 06:42:49 AM »Ehhh there's some stuff in season 5 that you can tell they at least tried to emulate from the books, like Jon's decision to let the Wildlings through the wall, but yeah, post season 5 they just went full TV show fan service.I'm assuming there's the obligatory "until about season 5" comment you need to mentally add.the problem i see with TWD and GoT is that they don't seem to have any discernible method for who and how they kill their characters--it feels random and arbitrary, like a soap opera, which, sure, adds tension in the laziest and most superficial way, but it's unearned and there's no lesson, message, or anything to take way from that death other than "oh no, my favorite character died for basically no reason, hopefully he actually lived somehow"Not that I disagree with a lot of your post, but I don't think this is accurate. At least not when it applies to GoT anyway. I don't really have a dog in TWD fight. 419

At least not when it applies to GoT anyway. I don't really have a dog in TWD fight. Part of what makes GoT interesting is the various and seemingly insignificant choices the characters make which eventually culminate to their demise. You can trace all their decisions back for a couple seasons and see how and why they got to where they are. Take Robb and Ned Stark for example. You can pinpoint exactly where the characters fucked up at various points in the show (disrespecting Walder Frey, trusting Littlefinger etc), which makes you think in hindsight, maybe these characters aren't as special as you initially thought. So I don't think the show boils down to "hurr durr so randumb and subversive XD", but more like, yeah, there's legitimate consequences to the choices characters make in this universe. |
