I played vidja games with Sean Smith/Vile Rat. Dude never knew who I was, but the world is a dimmer place without him. Obama can go fuck himself with sandpaper.

Me too, I played Infestation: Survival Stories (aka: The War Z) with him when it first came out. He wasn't a bad dude, he use to be a mod in D&D over at Something Awful when it was slightly saner too. Last I remember the whiny faggot crew had been trying to get his memorial (They left him listed as a mod of D&D even after he got killed) removed.

If you want your brain to collapse, read this article on how the new Spiderman game replaces Trump Tower with a parody because putting it in their game otherwise would get them sued, and the author interprets that as a political statement.

Worth noting is that the author blatantly states that he's aware that there's only vague similarities between Trump Tower and other landmarks owned by Trump and their parody versions, but he doesn't let that stop him from making a fool of himself anyway:

There’s no doubt in my mind that our current politically charged moment had a significant influence on how Insomniac built its vision of Manhattan in Marvel’s Spider-Man. J. Jonah Jameson is now functionally a conservative talk radio host, the phrase “fake news” makes at least one appearance, and one set of side missions slathers on the anti-corporate, pro-environment messages pretty thick.

And you’ll certainly see shades of Donald Trump in Norman Osborn, the businessman-turned-politician who serves as New York’s mayor in the game. His iconic hair from the comics—close-cropped, aggressive widow’s peak, inexplicable texture that looks his head had a run-in with a Burger King flame broiler—is nowhere to be seen, replaced by a sweeping, gravity-defying coif. This Obsborn’s face is a little more pillowy, his eyes a little baggier. Hell, he even gets buddy-buddy with some Slavs to help take down his opponents and improve his odds of winning an upcoming election.

But what you won’t find in Spider-Man is Trump Tower, the Fifth Avenue skyscraper closely associated with the president. Instead, in its place, you’ll find the Rand Building, home to the fictional Rand Corporation. That’s the company owned by Danny Rand, better known as Iron Fist, which he inherited from his father along with a sizable fortune.

Of course, the similarities between Donald Trump and Iron Fist pretty much stop there. To the best of my knowledge, the president doesn’t have the ability to channel his chi energy into powerful martial arts attacks, though I suppose he could be holding onto that secret for the inevitable showdown with Robert Mueller. Danny Rand’s best friend and closest ally is a black man, so unless Ben Carson counts as our universe’s version of Luke Cage, that probably doesn’t track. And Rand eventually turned his company into a nonprofit with the goal of helping the less fortunate. There’s still time on that one, I suppose, but I’m not holding my breath.

Could it all just be a coincidence? Sure, but I doubt it. While Spider-Man‘s Manhattan is far from a one-to-one recreation, Insomniac put a great deal of care into making sure major landmarks are more or less where they’re supposed to be, down to the the quasi-accurate street signs. The Rand Building sits at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 56th Street, just like Trump Tower. It’s of a vaguely similar height, and has a terrace (albeit a much simpler one) that starts a few floors up.

And the immediate area is pretty true to life, as far as the game goes. You can head down the street from the southwest corner of Central Park and you’ll spot recognizable stand-ins for the Cartier and Apple stores, Bergdorf Goodman, and then the Rand Corporation in place of Trump Tower, in the same order as you would in real life, at more-or-less the same intersections. It feels like a conscious decision.

For what it’s worth, other Trump properties, like 40 Wall Street and the Trump International Hotel & Tower, all have pretty close analogs in the game, so it’s not like there’s some universal agenda to scrub all of the Trump Organization’s buildings at play here. Insomniac just decided, for whatever reason, to swap in a Marvel landmark for Donald Trump’s signature achievement. Is it some sort of hopeful edit to our world, imagining what life would be like if we had someone more noble in Trump’s place? Is it an attempt to lionize the president as a superhero in his own right? Your interpretation will probably vary based on your political views—and maybe that’s the point.

Let me tl;dr this for everyone:
Spiderman Game replaces the skyscraper of a real billionaire with the skyscraper of a fictional in-universe billionaire due to copyright reasons.

To be fair, it's probably a little from Column A and a little from Column B regarding Trump stuff not being there.

That said the first and foremost reason is definitely what you mentioned: copyright and trademark concerns. Although I take offense to this particular paragraph...

Trump has Dragon Energy so said by his black friend and closest ally Kanye West and actually has put money into charities including ones that benefit the inner cities. Tsk, tsk.

So they replaced Trump Tower with a building belonging to a billionaire philanthropist superhero.

And it's not much different.

This is funny no matter what the intention was.

So today I learned:

1. a game based on Disney/Marvel properties has "anti-corporate" messaging. lol

2. Iron Fist sounds like a Green Arrow ripoff with a slighty different gimmick

Iron Fist was developed when Kung Fu movies were big, just like Luke Cage/Powerman was developed as a blacksploitation hero.

Iron Fist was eventually put into a superhero team, and someone had to be the rich guy, so he was picked. And it couldn't be the black guy. Even in a fictional world with aliens, time travel, and literal norse gods, a wealthy black man was too much of a reality stretch.

If you look closely at just about any Marvel property, it's a ripoff of DC, indie comics, or even other Marvel properties. I've lost track of the number of billionaire genius playboy superheroes/villains alone, much less the "superpowers acquired via industrial accident", the "half-human half-aliens with superpowers", the "secretly a space alien and/or dimensional time travelers with superpowers"....

Yesterday in reddit videos, someone posted a video of the Great Dictator speech by Charlie Chaplin with the title of something along the lines, "This video means more to us right now" or something like that. I wish I can find the reddit thread but I can't. Anyways, what do you think that thread was aimed at?

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Iron Fist was developed when Kung Fu movies were big, just like Luke Cage/Powerman was developed as a blacksploitation hero.

They were a pretty popular team, too- starred in their own book and formed the backbone of Heroes for Hire later on. (Thank god this was back in the 70s, not [the current year], or they'd have made them a gay couple with unbearable Whedonesque dialogue.)

Iron Fist was eventually put into a superhero team, and someone had to be the rich guy, so he was picked. And it couldn't be the black guy. Even in a fictional world with aliens, time travel, and literal norse gods, a wealthy black man was too much of a reality stretch.

Night Thrasher from the New Warriors actually managed to fill that niche. He's basically black Batman.

Obviousoy it means a movie where Charlie Chaplin makes fun of Hitler has less to do with Hitler and more to do with Blurnald Blumpf, because saying mean things is equal to Lebensraum, Blitzkrieg and the Final Solution.

EDIT: I usually edit out typos but I'm keeping "Obviousoy".

People get cynical Barry because your people don't deliver, there is not a bigger thing that kill intent to vote that defeat, and that defeat of your party two years ago? your people dont want to admit it but it was apocalyptic, your main base dont want to go because of it and that leave you with the hysterics and lunatics that are not a big majority

But please keep preaching how your party is going to blast the midterms with IMPEACH DRUMPF as the only strategy they have

They are trying to copy the 2010 Republican Playbook, where the message is "We have no unifying message except we're against the other guys". That played well in 2010 because Obama was a bitch-made, focusing solely on unpopular legislation thatby their own admission regarded american voters as "stupid", bailing out banks while the economy shit the bed around him, and his only economic recovery activity being to help businesses send work overseas while making it easier to enter - and stay - in the US as an illegal immigrant.

"Everything is fucked up, vote for anything other than what we've got, because anything is better than this" only works when everything is fucked up.

In 2018 the economy is booming, world powers are griping about having to deal with Trump but still being forced to play his game and despite the repeated promises, there are still zero Gay & Tranny deathcamps.

Night Thrasher from the New Warriors actually managed to fill that niche. He's basically black Batman.

Every super hero team based on Earth & not doing the mystical/cosmic shit needs the guy who has a "money" as one of their powers. Its Ironman for the avengers. Sometimes its filled by the government handler in charge of things, but you need something explain where the super-sonic stealth jet came from.
