Because they're enjoyable to watch.
They don't need some deep and srs plotlines with srs acting to be good movies like Mr /tv/ thinks.
the reddit crowd
What is it with you and "the Reddit crowd" and SJW's? It's like you're a schizophrenic.
Cheesiness and mindless action has been around for decades in film and TV series across all genres.
Yeah I know, but there's a certain level of cheesiness you just shouldn't cross though, and the MCU just doesn't seem to recognise that.

I never said that though. I enjoy turn off your brain action flicks as much as anyone else (the X-Men franchise contain some of my favourite superhero films). I just don't think the MCU is directed in a very efficient, enjoyable or even serviceable manner. There's really no tension to them because we all know everything will be wrapped in a neat little bow irregardless of the adversity the characters face (Coulson being brought back for a tv series, and Groot pulling a Deus Ex Machina). Everything just seems to come off as a major pander to the reddit crowd, from cheesy groan inducing quips, to Syfy levels of cinematography. Just because it's mindless action entertainment doesn't mean it shouldn't be afforded genuine criticism.

Bit in all seriousness, it seems like this guy more wants to send out a message and make it clear that Islamophobia is a serious thing. I don't agree with the law itself, but I do agree with the fact that Islamophobia is a major problem and should be treated as such.
Come now, I know you're smarter than this.
Islamophobia is just a thinly veiled attempt to silence discourse by pulling out the discrimination card. You aren't born Islamic, just like you aren't born a Satanist, yet I don't see any serious legislation being posited in government to try and curtail "Satanophobia."
Islam is a religion, ergo an idea (a fairly pernicious one at that too) and should be afforded the same amount of scrutiny as the other religions. Let's cut the PC bullshit.
Again, I said that I don't agree with the law he's proposing. And Islamophobia tends to tie in with racism against Arabs even if they're Christian. There was a hate crime attack not too long ago where a nearby Syrian or Lebanese Orthodox church was burned down just because they were ethnically Arab.
If Islamophobia was just the religion, I wouldn't care. But any Arab can be victim to it.
We already have a word for being intolerant towards a specific ethnicity, and it's certainly not Islamophobia. Conflating criticisms of a doctrine with racism is very dangerous. This is how censorship gradually comes into fruition.

When Mordo and Jim agree on something, you know the exact opposite is the way the go.
You seem awfully upset about something really unimportant.
Okay walking /tv/ meme.
And don't you forget it.
But I will, you are a very forgettable person. Like you are to Jim what Naru is to Zoid.
Good.
I don't want to be remembered by a bunch of autistic virgin manchildren.
Lol stay mad.

mfw they shunned the only other good recent Marvel movie out of the MCU (The Incredible Hulk)
Pretty sure Abomination was referenced to in Agents of S.H.I.T.
I don't see how they could continue what they were going for in the Incredible Hulk. It'll just be more snoozefest Avengers tier shit most likely.
I heard somewhere that they don't have any plans for a Ruffalo standalone movie like the other cast members get though, so there's that. I guess they're probably scared shitless of making another Ang Lee monstrosity.

It's capeshit and owned by Disney. They're specifically filmed in an infantile, mediocre manner with MacGuffin plotlines in order to sell movie tickets and toys to children. That's their target market.

All signs pointed to Japan continuing the Pacific War, costing more lives, resources and money than the bombs ever incurred. (The casualties of the Pacific War was already in the 30 million+ whereas the Atomic Bombs killed 200,000, just to add a little addendum).
Call it consequentialism if you want, but it certainly was justified.
Yeah, 30 million soldier deaths. People who knew what they were signing up for. You can't compare the deaths of military enlisted men to the deaths of civilians.
Not really, considering a lot of men were conscripted to fight. The draft isn't exactly voluntary.
If you want to point fingers here, point it at the Japanese government for their heavily imperialistic culture, reluctance to surrender, and the capacity to hone both civilians and soldiers into literal weapons of war to be expended if it meant taking out a few American lives.

This has nothing to do with the Japanese governement. I would've had no problem if we bombed two military bases instead of two urban centers. The civilians in Japan, while pretty brainwashed, sure, had nothing to do with the actual war.
I'm not saying they are, but Japan was given multiple warnings beforehand, and had no intention of ceasing their acts of aggression and war crimes. Their culture was literally predicated on the basis of placing victory before the lives of their citizens.

The uncountable death of thousands of innocents is never justified. War is a horrible thing.
Only right answer.
Obviously, but we wouldn't have gotten anywhere if we grounded our thinking on infantile sentiments like that. Difficult decisions have to be made that sometimes come with a heavy cost attached. It's an unfortunate facet of the world we inhabit, but parroting "killing r teh bad" back and forth isn't going to solve anything.
