Bob continues to jump through hoops to defend his precious MCU despite audiences clearly being done with it. Whether it's "they don't have China's box office anymore," "box office doesn't matter," "the occasional hit means it still has life," or now "Schrodinger's audience," whatever the fuck that means, Bob simply can't accept that Marvel isn't the cultural juggernaut it was a few years ago. Literally the only movies that have succeeded have been nostalgia wankfests for pre-MCU movies, and everything else continues to fall by the wayside as the Marvel Formula™ wears thinner and thinner by the year.
He also doesn't seem to understand that Marvel putting out one bomb after another has definitely hurt its brand, much as the fourth Bayformers movie was so awful that, despite being successful, audiences didn't show up for the (even worse) fifth movie and killed the franchise before it could spawn its own cinematic universe. Same goes for the MCU: despite the success of some of those post-Endgame movies, there have been far too many that have been less than ideal that even if a good movie releases today, people are less likely to give it the time of day. And you see that with the box office take; I think F4 is going to be lucky to crest $500 million, and I'll be damn surprised if it catches up to Superman (which is currently at a pretty anemic $550 million). If not for Lilo and Stitch making a stupid amount of money for a soulless live-action remake, Disney would be having an utterly abysmal year, and that's literally the only thing that's gone well for them.
I legitimately don't think capeshit has legs anymore. Outside of the occasional nostalgia grab, the trend has passed its peak. Like Westerns or musicals before it, audiences are simply moving on from both Marvel and DC, and Bob needs to learn to accept that now.

Texas is gerrymandered, huh? Since all those faggot Dems ran off to hide in Illinois, here's the map of Illinois's congressional districts, before and after its most recent redistricting:
I want any lefty who's bitching about Texas to look me in the eye and defend this absolutely blatant racial gerrymandering, turning Illinois from mostly blue around Chicago with red rural areas (and a couple tossups) to supermajority blue thanks to the squiggliest districts possible. Probably something about how it's okay if they do it, niggers would be underrepresented if they didn't, blah blah whitey bad, etc.

It never happened. Transwomen never dominated women sport.
Literally any time a tranny takes first place means it has happened, Bobbo. And no, trannies aren't women, they're men. This happening even once is one time too many.
And trannies are allowed to win, provided they play in the leagues that match their sex. If a man who cut his balls off can't compete against other men, that's his problem.

Gen X has been overtaken by Millennials again.
Was typing class common in Yankeedoodleland high schools? And two years? This Gen-X scrub took a six-lesson typing course in his teens and he can touch type!
It's not often that I'm really thrown for a loop in Bob's thread these days because of how one-note he usually ends up being, but this is one of those times.
How in the everliving
fuck does Bob still not know how to touch type?! Half of his supposed "job" involves typing, and he's literally admitting that he's done it
all through fucking hunt-and-peck? The great Superior Thinker™ himself is using the typing method that literal children do? What the fuck?
Now, I will take a quick break here to say that yeah, some kids these days are also having issues with learning touch typing because they do everything on their ffffucking phones and use actual computers less. But even then, pretty much every school district in the country requires you to pass a basic typing class before you can graduate, so they do learn eventually.
But seriously, how the fuck has Bob gotten into his mid-forties and
still can't touch type? I refuse to believe that he never had the opportunity to take a typing class. By the time he graduated in either 1999 or 2000, computers would have been pretty ubiquitous in schools, and their importance to students' future careers would have been easily seen. Maybe a computer class wouldn't have been a strict requirement then, but surely he would have had the option to take one. And as others have said, typing classes have existed since typewriters were the hot new piece of technology.
It's truly incredible that he's spent over twenty years writing and has utterly failed to grasp that he could be so much more efficient if he took a few weeks to learn how to touch type. I remember before my first day in my school's computer class in eighth grade, feeling uncomfortable with the entire concept of touch typing because I was so familiar with hunt-and-peck. Within a couple weeks, I was flying through my lessons with ease, and I never went back. I can't even imagine what it would be like to try to hunt-and peck these days, and Bob is doing it every fucking day!
Truly, Bob, the man who boasts of his intellectual prowess at every opportunity and believes he will lead us into the Superior Future, remains the best example of Dunning-Kruger in action.
