Did they, though? I'm not sure I can remember any of them really talking about crypto.

Not directly, but, the sum-total of the Democrats did denounce the peons derailing the plans of poor, innocent, billionaire, short-selling hedge fund managers over GameStonk, and immediately demanded new laws to make it impossible to trade stocks if you were a hayseed or GamerGater because you won't do it in "good faith" or whatever... the message was loud and clear.

"Ordinary" people can't be trusted with the free market, they're either too stupid to know how it works or malicious out to derail the money-making machine that is Wall Street investment firms, because either outcome means DNC donations from same are imperiled...

They never said it, but you can bet any random Democrat would be against crypto for the same reason: an "unregulated" thing that's being overtaken by racists, sexists, trolls, alt-righters, etc and it must be denied to them (and anyone else in their lowly tax-bracket) to save the integrity of the money-printing machin..... er.... .economy.

And it's Bobby we're talking about.... if he knows in his heart of heart it's true, that's all that matters. Evidence on record be damned.

Seems like the main reason he didn't like Mortal Kombat was fans being excited at the R rating. We all know how he hates the "bros" getting their way. His voice is as insufferable as ever. (or "evahhhh" if you're Bob)

 

[Laughingjoke2]

If you want the real reason, it's because Captain Marvel was never meant to be in Endgame or the MCU in general at that point. Her entire existence in the series was shoved in at the last second. Actually all of Endgame was rushed, from writing to production, iirc it was revealed that much of Endgame was literally written over a few days as it was being filmed. Can't remember the source on that though.

Her film was announced with Infinity War Parts 1 & 2 in 2014 I wouldn't call that rushed. Sure there were rewrites hell adding Spider-Man to the MCU was a massive rewrite to all those plans but I can't see where it can be called Rushed.

When the films were announced doesn't mean much when it's public knowledge that Endgame was being rewritten until the last minute, mostly because Infinity War left the series so that there was no way to do a satisfying sequel. Captain Marvels own film probably got a decent production cycle, but her place in the MCU sure didn't. You could remove her from Endgame and nothing at all would change, which is emblematic of how little thought they put into her character. Most other characters had some sort of relationship, activity or development they went through over the film but I couldn't tell you a damn thing about what she did aside from say stopping the guy who killed half the universe was below her.

Rushed or not, she felt extremely out of place, so my guess would be that whatever vision Kevin Feige originally had for the character's implementation was wildly different to the insufferably smug bitch we got; presumably as a result of the same performative wokeness that poisoned Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars stewardship.

Didn't think about this. You're right. Despite all claims of sophisticated taste, he wants to watch the same goddamn movie every time.

He's an MCU fan. That goes without saying!

I kid, but they really do start to bleed together.

Also, something that really irks me and that is usually overlooked by brainlets like Bob and those that belive that posting propaganda on mass media is the most epic and revolutionary thing to do: if you actually posed a threat in any way shape or form to the stablishment or the powers that be, they will crack down on you harder than the ATF went down on Wacko. They live this deranged fantasy of somehow being persecuted by society while being largely accepted and having their ideas and talking points being parroted by mainstream media, corporations and celebrities. At one point, any sane person would stop and think "Hey, there is something wrong here". But their brains are smoother than a pair of recently ironed trousers.

And on Bob's talk of being "endorsed by foreign powers"... Is he that retarded? Does he really think that posting on American mass media and not being persecuted by American law enforcement is being supported by someone else? I know that China definetly wants to throw America into a wood chipper and that's why they would support retards like Bob (if they actually had some value). But at one point he would think that maybe when you are supported by foreign powers the thing they do is send you weapons, food and things to support your fight, not allowing you to spout drivel.

I know i'm way over my head, but it's really amazing how Bob's terrible ignorance surprises me time and time again. It's the gift that keeps on giving

It's fun to play revolutionary without actually facing any consequences.

The treasury secretary has come out against cryptocurrencies, but I don't know if Bobbert is aware of her.

Janet Yellen suggests 'curtailing' cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, saying they are mainly used for illegal financing

Not quite, but she was implying that she was protecting the whole rest of the universe or something while the Avengers protected Earth.

 

[Mr Snek]

To tell the truth I only saw it once and I'm probably misremembering a little, but iirc her explanation for why she never helped in Infinity War and why she leaves for most of Endgame was there were more important threats she was defending other places from, which might have worked well as a hook for future villains if she wasn't such a cunt about it. There was also no other references to these greater threats at all, so as far as the audience knows she's just pulling this out her ass.

You seem well read on the topic so maybe you can help explain my biggest problem with Endgame: If they knew that the second gauntlet was too powerful for a human to use why didn't they just let Captain Marvel use it instead of Tony, since she's been established as OP Stunning & Brave Kween of the Universe?

Tony didn't use the Second Gauntlet, Hulk did.

Tony's snap was a spur of the moment decision after he swiped the gems from Alt-Thanos and at that point Thanos had already Falcon Punched Kween into the sun.

But there was a concerted effort to get it to Tony, up to and including Captain Marvel getting it off Spider-Man at some point.

If she knew the plan she could have just put it on there and then and saved everyone the trouble, or were the gems not in it at that point? I thought that was the entire point of the time heist plot.

(Sorry for derailing by the way, but this has been annoying me for however long it's been since Endgame came out.)

They were trying to get Infinity Gauntlet 2 (the one Hulk used) to the Ant-Van that had a quantum realm portal, and then Thanos eventually got that one and put it on..when he was about to Snap Marvel tried to stop him. He Plucked the Power Gem out of it and used it to Pimp Slap Marvel.

Then Tony Jumped on Thanos' hand to "Stop him from Snapping" and Jacked the gems out and used his Nano-Slime shit to make a new Gauntlet and snapped. Tony doing the third snap was an in the moment choice.

That is where the "I am Ineveitable"

"I Am Iron Man"

Sequence came from, because Thanos didn't realize Tony jacked the Gems until after Tony Said "I Am Iron Man."


Edit : You could Make an Argument about Strange letting this shit happen this way..but Strange has the excuse of "I looked into the future and this is how it had to happen REEEEE"

But There is a bunch of stupid shit with Dr. Strange and Infinity War/EndGame that you could go into.

another thing that works in tech

View attachment 2111891

Well to be fair most porn twitter channels have millions of followers.

The whole Thanos thing was the main sore spot of the MCU, how could they link a cosmic villain who achieved omnipotence get in a fight with a guy who throws a shield around.

Awnser, they couldn't, and whatever made the Infinity Gauntlet comic storyline fun, it was lost in the movies, that at this point don't even pretend to have anything to do with the comics besides easter eggs for the retards like Robert.

Not to mention the whole population control was a laughable excuse for a villain motivation, more so a villain that has not only acesss to magic space tech, but god powers, and worse, the movies never tried to even show how the overpopulation is destroying the universe besides one planet that was destroyed long, long ago (how!?)

In the original story, the earth heros are nothing more than fodder, to buy time so Adam Warlock can figure a way to get to the gauntlet, and by half way of the story, all the heroes are pretty much gone, and the whole thing becomes a colossal clash between the cosmic entities of the Marvel universe (like Galactus and the living tribunal) and Thanos.

Props where they are due, the MCU pulled something unique in cinema, a decade long on going storyline, that ain't something easy to do, and even if the ending ain't that great (time travel will always muddy you story) and Thanos seems to not quite fit as the ultimate final enemy, in the end we were all on board to see the closure, and closure is what we got.

Said that, after end game, I haven't seen a single capeshit thing since (except 1 episode of wandavision), and I'm glad to be done. As much as i liked the movies, something was lost from the comics. I'm not that much of a dumbass to say that capeshit comics have much value besides cheap entretainment, but a lot of what made comics fun for me was getting lost in the adaptaions and now I just don't see the point, not when I could do anything else.

First, I'll admit that I'm a DC bot, not a marvel zombie, so I get I'm talking a bit outside the context here, but there is some irony that the original Infinity [whatever] story is plain not filmable.

The most obvious point is that you can't have the beloved characters which the audience has spent a decade attaching to and growing fond of suddenly play back-seat fiddle to a last minute OP arrival who was never seen before. It doesn't work when it's Captain Marvel, it doesn't work if you change her name to "Adam Warlock." Sure it will make some comic fans happy and give you a solid box-office base, but it's going to annoy and alienate the normie public that you need to show up to put your multi-billion dollar effort over the top into profitable territory.

Ok so then what? Well the next big points of the story are all the heroes uniting against Thanos (given and done - that's what you've been working towards all this time). Then you got Thanos getting the gems, snapping his fingers, killing half of all life in the universe. Well you take out any of that, and now the story has lost all right to be called infinity anything. So now you've got to explain his goals and motivations for pulling this off. What do we got? Simping for death? Sure that works when you're in a comic book form and have years of long-form storytelling at your disposal with far smaller production costs and much higher profit margins - but again we're talking about a multi-billion dollar franchise. You've got to sell "simping for Death" to all the normie moms and pops out there taking their kids to the movies. It ain't gonna work. So then you've got to invent a new reason for the "kill half" out there. Uh.... Malthusian! It's thin, but it's at least somewhat logical AND can be sold to the public in really easy terms.

You work it out, and it's pretty clear Infinity War/Endgame is actually the best you could ever reasonably hope for.

And again, I'm a DC bot. I got to watch Crisis on Infinite Earths adapted on TV by the CW. (I don't just feel your pain, I've exceeded it.) The worst is that even allowing for the budget & time limitations and the needs of adaption, they STILL screwed things up. (I will never forgive Batwoman.)

I think Jeremy Jahns is the anti-movie bob.

He specifically tries to stay out of politics but I found his review of the last episode of the TFaWS pretty well thought out.

Basically pointing out its flawed logic in that everyone thinks they are the hero of their story and that actions really are all that matter.

I think Bob has no strong opinions on it, he isn't like Cenk who is a turkroach that denies it. Bob also has no real history of defending Turkey

I think another thing that makes Jahns the anti-Movieslob is that Jahns is perfectly aware he's some schmuck talking about movies and doesn't pretend he is more important than he really is. Whereas Bob believes himself to be a coastal elite who would've been worthy of having an immortal robot body.

He didn't give Bobert's beloved GvK a good review, so that certainly has to stick in his craw a bit. But I would say any decent reviewer is the anti-Movie Bob. They might actually make analysis and reasoned reviews that aren't mainly informed by politics and consoomption.

 

[glib]

When I heard the line "To challenge you, is to court Death." that made my inner comic fanboy go "Weeeeee!" And we might get some snarky line from Stark about being a simp. But instead, Thanos is a twisted environmentalist. I wanted the simp who killed off the universe just to get Death to holler at him. Ironically, the comic book Thanos was actually relatable.

I'm more upset they gave Iron-Man everything he ever wanted and took it away so they could make Captain America look like Joe Biden.
