Bobby feels the yen to fellate Kevin Feige again.

Sliced bread is bland but inoffensive. The same cannot be said about many MCU entries.
BTW here is a video of an adorable consoomer pig.
Bob's constant fellation of Feige, Marvel, and Disney will never cease to make me wonder why. He gets nothing out of it beyond using it as a replacement for his own lack of success in life; as long as the MCU keeps barreling along, he can delay ending it all for one more day. I legitimately think that when it finally ends, he'll have nothing left to live for, because Lord knows he has nothing else in his life.
On a side note, that reply about "hundreds of Westerns per year" is, to no one's surprise, a gross exaggeration. I'm not exceptionally well-versed in the history of Westerns, but through some quick research,
this website details the total number of Westerns produced during the most prolific period of B-Westerns, 1930-1954. While the site is dedicated to B-movies, the graphs total everything produced, including A-movies and film serials. Most years had somewhere around 100 Westerns produced every year, give or take a dozen or two, nowhere near "hundreds." It was a lot, to be sure, but not a ridiculous amount.
One would also need to consider all the differences between the media landscape then and now, but that's not something I'm comfortable in detailing (funny how you
don't need to comment on something if you don't know a lot about it, huh, Bob?). Suffice it to say that superhero fatigue
is real, and no trend lasts forever.
Also love how obvious it is that being the face of the "consoomer" meme gets under Bob's skin.
Go eat some deep politico-existential discourse about capeshit. Darren Mooney, from
The Escapist, notes that MCU is more about Mary-Sue power fantasy than exploring the dilemmas of having great powers.

Occam razor Bobby. The cause is that blockbusters have to cater to the spoilt Millennial generation, who think they deserve the world yet, however dimly, feels they are utterly powerless to face real issues of the world.
I agree with Mooney's analysis. We've gone from "with great power comes great responsibility" to "with great power comes the ability to go 'fuck you, I'll do what I want,'" and the movies' writing has suffered greatly for it. There's no balance, it's just entitled assholes who never bother to exercise restraint because they know that nobody else is going to stop them. Don't you know, they're the good guys!
Bob attempting to weave geopolitical commentary into this, however, is flat-out retarded. Sometimes (nay, nearly all the time), a man in tights is just a man in tights.
Bobby tries to paint Touchstone as as creatively bankrupt as Disney. He knows a lot of things that happened before y'all were born y'all know?

Okay, so what is Bobby trying to say here, that three movies that have vaguely similar posters (in that each poster has three actors across the top) are equivalent to the MCU in that their content is all the same? He's so desperate for a gotcha on this guy that he has to resort to tortured logic to create a false equivalence. If we were going by that logic, then we could say that the design trend of orange and blue on movie posters means that most movies in the past two decades are the same.
Even if we set aside that particular thread of stupidity, Bob still didn't refute the guy's point. Of those three movies, only Armageddon was the #1 movie of its year, with Pearl Harbor coming in at #6 and Con Air not even cracking the top 10 (though it was close). Furthermore, Touchstone movies did not dominate the box office like Disney has been with its glut of capeshit. Look at the top 10's for
1997,
1998, and
2001, and notice the huge variety: action movies, comedies, rom-coms, sci-fi, fantasy, and animated movies, all from a variety of studios. Some franchise sequels too, but not an overload. Then compare to
2019: Disney took seven of the top 10, eight if you count the Spiderman joint production with Sony. Three of those were capeshit, one was Star Wars, two were animation sequels, and two were remakes of classic animated movies. Of the remaining two, one was (admittedly good) capeshit, and one was a soft reboot of Jumanji.
There's no comparison: Disney and capeshit are sucking all the life out of cinema.
True artists do not fear AI; only by-the-number hacks do.

How come a Thinker be so anti-intellectual?
View attachment 4548598
Actual smart person makes a good point in clear and concise language (it's really only the midwits complaining about AI art). Bob, the dullard who tries to dress up his stupidity in flowery language to look intelligent, mocks him for his area of study and claims it's not real. Smart person gives an actually snappy comeback by comparing Bob to Comic Book Guy (although, as mentioned, Comic Book Guy is clearly a greater success than Bobbo). Bob seethes about how smart person is a wrongthinker and probably blocked him already.
You love to see it.
I guess we can add "the Streissand[sic] effect" to the list of things Alex "Alejandra" Caraballo doesn't understand. J.K. Rowling hasn't once tried to hide her views on troons; the recent instance of her telling a troon sympathizing drag queen to not issue libelous statements if he didn't feel like getting into legal hot water is not an attempt to do so. Alex should thank his lucky stars he lives in a country with less strict libel laws, I have no doubt Queen TERF would be happy to make an example of him too.
