[A Watchful Ghost]

Bob made a blogpost about how The Dark Knight will never match the legacy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe; saying that:

“And yet, that “trifle” has proved to have an impact and an influence that KNIGHT could (and did) only dream of: The Marvel Cinematic Universe that spun out of it has changed the blockbuster landscape like nothing since the debut of STAR WARS, establishing a new template for success that not only every other superhero series but every other big-budget moviemaking apparatus period is now chasing. Back in ’08 it was assumed that every cinematic hero (super or not) would find themselves “Nolanized” for success, but instead everyone from Robin Hood to King Arthur to the Universal Monsters are being set up for their chance to be franchised, crossed-over and eventually (hopefully) AVENGE’D.”

And

“A better question might be why anything needs to become of it. Outliers are, after all, just as much landmarks as centerpieces. What fandom’s obsession with what THE DARK KNIGHT was meant to do on behalf of its tertiary elements long-term managed to obscure was that it remains a fairly excellent piece of work as is – even (perhaps more so) when removed from the broader superhero movie phenomenon, the Batman legacy and even its own prequel and sequel. Maybe it will take a while for the moviegoing world to take note of that again, as TDK continues its rotation in Saturday afternoon cable programming while the Marvel and DC Cinematic Universes slug it out at the multiplex for the next who-knows-how-long – pushed too early to the background because of everyone else’s expectations… punished by pop-culture for being “only” a good movie.”

Pretty atrocious blog post.

Wha..How can he..*Groans* You gotta be fucking joking with this? TDR IS the fucking reason why Comic book films are taken seriously after Iron Man. TDR has a more long lasting legacy due to how good it was, and it's reception. That film changed the outlook on many people's opinions toward superheroes. That film made them cool for casual audiences. So don't you dare try to change that. The MCU might have solidified. But also turned on the time bomb that is the burnout. Longevity won't be the MCU's best friend. TDKT is. The Avengers only okay'ed the idea of a crossover. That's not a very good thing to add to the table since it has been done before.

I might argue TDK will have more screenings when time comes by than movies like Ragnarok, or freaking Ant-man.

He is such a shitty writer.

I mean I know I've said that before, but every time some longform work of his shows up on the thread I'm again struck by his verbal spinach, his twisted sentence structure, and his clear-as-mud phrasing.

Why is this man paid for his writing?

Because Screen Rant, or Geek.com doesn't look at Bob's resume, or controversies. Only focusing on brand recognition. (Yes, I know. You can throw up, or laugh all you need to. but unfortunately 130k is still a good number.)

Relatively big fanbase and hiring bias?

I also would include Logan due to the creative risks it took and how extraordinary it executed them. It’s a shame Disney is buying Fox since the future X Men movies won’t be as deep as Logan and will be as generic as Ant Man.

I never said I wanted to kill my fellow countrymen for disagreeing with me, just it'd be fantastic if every single one of them met a horrible fate which wipes them out. You're the one with a problem if you read that as wanting to murder those....""""people"""".... Why does no one understand me?

If the console wars were his Vietnam then losing his power must be Bob's personal stay in Auschwitz. If you think that comparison is tasteless I would like to remind you that Bob coined the term "Autism Blackface".

because this whole site is autistic and very focused on detail to an obsessive degree?

The America that doesn't matter, as in the farmers who grow all the food Bob eats. The moon wheat thing actually makes some sense under that "logic"; American farmers would then actually be obsolete, so Bob would be justified.

While TDK trilogy is good, I never really liked the realistic approach to Batman, who is a guy who dresses up as a bat, just to beat up bad people that use over the top gadgets and overly-contrived schemes just to kill him, Burton’s films understood, and portrayed Batman exactly as that, a comic book (call me a hypocrite since I enjoyed Homecoming more than the Rami Trilogy). /QUOTE]

I don't get arguments like this. TDKT didn't make Batman "serious." It just made it epic. If you break down everything that happened in the movies it was pretty in-line with the comics. In Batman Begins he uses a magic gadget to bring in a swarm of bats for backup. He has wild gadgets all over the place. The climax of TDK was vintage Joker, it's a grandiose hostage situation with a ticking clock and all sorts of traps. Bane was the most over-the-top movie villain in a long time. The movies worked because it actually had a great balance between the fantastic and the realistic, and if you compare them to the first Batman movie you can draw a perfect parallel in tone and execution. You could argue they made the Joker even more preposterous, just look at the insane shit that happened in that movie. Spiderman Homecoming made way more attempts to be realistic than TDKT ever did, that's why everyone has Stark tech and it's a giant drag,

I mean they don't have electronically controlled penguins marching down downtown Gotham with wacky colored rockets attached to their backs, but if that's the yardstick you're going to measure everything by, that's just retarded.

I dunno. One of those avatars is a mildly attractive human female of indeterminate age. That's usually enough to trigger Bob's thirst.

I don't think there's anything low-key about it.

Interesting argument I heard recently: this no-platforming crap is just a (relatively) nonviolent form of book burning, in that it is controlling what the audience you disagree with gets to hear.

It's bad enough Bob is an atrocious writer; he becomes purely disgusting on the basis of his opposition to free inquiry alone.

(Also, that last tweet is total horseshit.)

If you've got power, you can write, you loathsome sack of shit.

Okay, here's a little creative writing :autism: I whipped up about Bob's situation.

Bob: The Superior Basement Empire
by Infocom

BED IN BASEMENT
You are sitting on your bed bedecked in filthy, jizz-spotted Mario sheets. The carpet is discolored and warped due to flooding. A panoply of Nintendo memorabilia is on the shelves. Above you is a ceiling fan. You have a number of Nintendo consoles and a dusty television. The power is out. Your cell phone is at 10%. There is an unplugged NES controller near your game consoles. Stairs leading up are to the West.

>GO W
You are too fat to GO anywhere!

>PLAY NINTENDO
The power is out!

>PLAY GAME BOY
You took the batteries out, fucktard.

>TWEET ABOUT TRUMP
You post a witty riposte to something innocuous the president said. Lindsay's pussy is practically yours!

Your phone is at 8 percent.

>TWEET ABOUT OBSOLETE AMERICA
You post 3,000 vitriol-soaked words about simple people just trying to make their way in the world.

Your phone is at 3 percent.

>TWEET ABOUT DUDEBROS
Oh no! Your phone is out of juice!

>GO W
Why not wait until you've starved off some of that weight, chubs?

>GO W
Do you even have feet? Go ahead and kick those little nubs.

>GET UNPLUGGED CONTROLLER
You get the junk-food crusted controller.

>TIE CONTROLLER TO CEILING FAN
Oh Bob, what are you doing? Stop. Don't.

>TIE CONTROLLER CORD AS NOOSE
You tie one end into a macabre teardrop.

>HANG SELF
You step off the bed and the noose tightens...before the ceiling fan crashes down on top of you. Your relatives laugh at your fat ass from the room upstairs, which now has a gaping hole from your inept attempt at suicide.

Of course he's going to do that. Do you think Bob can actually justify half the shit he says when he's confronted about it? No, he's going deflect and say he said something totally different from what he really said. And if you bring up evidence of what he said (such as a screenshot of a tweet of his), he'll just say it's doctored and not real.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Okay, :dumb: question, but what's the difference between whining and sperging? Bob seems to sperg more than whining.

Susan Arendt was Bob's editor & boss back at the Escapist, you can find her name on the credits of almost every video he produced , and AFAIK, she's a huge SJW, which makes it very telling that she heavily disagrees with Bob on this.

This means that Bob is literally too exceptional for SJWs, just think about that for a minute.

fair enough but he was willing to go to bat for the anti gamergate side quite regularly when gamergate was going on so he was technically useful

Yeah I agree, I was just joking with you dude.

Funny, but it's worth pointing out he really isn't useful even as an idiot. His unending vitriol does more to discredit his own side than he'd ever believe. Can you imagine how convenient it is to have someone like him, shrieking about the unevolved Trumpists and Obsolete America?

Of course, he's too fucking stupid for anyone to take seriously, agree or disagree, but this is propaganda we're talking here, not deep thinking.
