That is one hell of lampshade.
Hot take, Bob secretly wants Rowling-WB to sell the Harry Potter brand to Disney so he can consume their own version of the brand like they did to SW. Because he’s such a delusional crayon eater who can’t evaluate the world and real life without pop culture references.Y'know, it will never not amuse me how much Bob seethes at the continued success of Harry Potter while J.K. Rowling refuses to back down from the troon menace. He has to keep on pretending that HP is "over," how it's a "busted property," how "nobody gives a damn."
I did a quick check on Amazon to see how wrong he is. Not only is the complete seven-book paperback set #1 in children's fantasy books, it's currently #72 among all books across the entire site. The complete eight-movie DVD set is #51 in movies, while the Blu-ray set is #101. For a book series that ended 15 years ago and a movie series that ended just over a decade ago, those are far from "busted property" numbers. And that's before you get into the continued success of HP merchandise, the wildly popular Wizarding World attractions at Universal Studios, and so on. Hell, the prequels might not be doing main series numbers, but they're at least doing well enough to continue greenlighting more movies.
Now, I'll admit that I've more or less moved on from Harry Potter just as a function of getting older. The prequel movies didn't really interest me at all, and I've felt no urgent desire to revisit that world after the story reached its natural conclusion. That said, I absolutely relish how mad it makes Bob that J.K. Rowling is basically unable to be cancelled. It helps that she's saying what a lot of people are thinking about troons, and it's only a small minority that's screeching about how horrible she is. I had to explain this to my friend who hadn't heard anything about her opinions but had heard of the stink being raised about them, and when I did, he said, "oh yeah, makes sense, I agree." She has ridiculous amounts of fuck-you money anyway, so even if they did succeed in canceling her, so what? She'll just retire to her mansion and swim in piles of cash while the troons cope and seethe.
Bob is such a raging misogynist hiding behind a male feminist veneer. So, like any other male feminist, then.
I must've missed the part of the God of War franchise where Kratos killed the God of Chins and took his mantle.
Holy hell, this commie manlet is still around? I haven't seen him since... hmmm... that "questions for anti-feminists" video where I think his primary contribution was "What's with you people and skulls?"
Some people type their cravings into the PornHub search box. Some people type them into Twitter.
I'm thinking "Do 1st graders even understand the concept of sexual preference?" That's the age where the crisis of February is that the teacher said you have to fill out Valentines cards for everyone in class, not just other boys/girls and it's so dumb because girls/boys are icky.I saw a video once about a guy who was a teacher for 1st graders about coming out to his class and how wonderful it was and how accepting the kids were the comment section was all "how amazing" "how wonderful". I'm thinking "Why is this dude telling 1st graders his sexual preference?".
Because no one actually cares what the bill says and just propagate an inflammatory name for propaganda purposes.Jesus Christ I don't usually buy into conspiracy theories about cabals of lefties wanting to have sex with kids. But this "Don't Say Gay" Bill that's gotten Blobby and his ilks panties in a bunch makes me wonder.
The Bill doesn't say you can't teach Sex ED or "gender identity" you just have to wait till after 3rd grade. Why is that wrong? I didn't have any Sex ED classes till middle school, I believe 7th grade.

Nah, those are logically consistent, but even I don't agree with the obvious conclusion.Bob: WAY MORE THAN HALF of ANYONE'S NEIGHBORS IN MURRICA ARE DUMB AND RACIST!
Also Bob: LESS THAN HALF of all voters in Murrica are MAGA/Republican.
Actually, it's quite consistent. Less than half of all voters in Burgerland are MAGA Trump voters. The rest are dumb and racist.Bob: WAY MORE THAN HALF of ANYONE'S NEIGHBORS IN MURRICA ARE DUMB AND RACIST!

I wouldn't even like to think about the delusions that Bob has deeply went onto since his tweets and funny little replies went totally unbalanced in the first few signs of his spergy Tweets. Whatever the fuck that he can psychologically trick humans to easily get annoyed by his insane antics on a daily basis for his judgement.Hot take, Bob secretly wants Rowling-WB to sell the Harry Potter brand to Disney so he can consume their own version of the brand like they did to SW.

Not filming in Georgia allowed Disney to virtue signal to its base of affluent white female liberals while not affecting Disney financially. Pissing off Floridians when its theme park is literally in Florida would negatively affect them financially, so of course they won't do it.People looking to Disney for moral guidance are fucking retards. Disney won't film in Georgia because muh abortion but will film in China which is a human rights shitshow.
Gas prices were not kept "artificially high" against Jimmy Carter to defeat him. The Iranian Revolution and related events caused a giant one-year drop in oil production that was resolved and then oil prices continued downwards in the 1980s. Carter was blamed politically for inflation, not gas prices even though the 1979 gas price spike did hurt Carter and helped convince Ted Kennedy to primary him. (Ironically, it was Carter working with Ted Kennedy who deregulated the American oil industry.) Carter actually "solved" inflation by appointing Volcker but it wasn't until Reagan's landslide that Volcker had the political cover (with Reagan's blessing) to fix it by shoving it out of the system finally.And the Saudis are colluding with the GOP!

Rest assured that voters are very clear about whose fault it is.
Joe Manchin is a long time millionaire who founded a coal related firm in 1988 (he gave up working at it in 2000 but its stock remains 70+% of his portfolio) who has been a moderate Democrat in a very conservative state since re-entering politics in the mid-1990s. Bob, a Thinker: "All his political views are actually due to the BIG MONEY he secretly receives and never reports."Joe Manchin:

It's not really a secret, he's tweeted he wants a future where Disney owns all big media so he can have a movie franchise where The Avengers, Justice League and Harry Potter all cross over many times.Hot take, Bob secretly wants Rowling-WB to sell the Harry Potter brand to Disney so he can consume their own version of the brand like they did to SW.

He’s probably waiting for JJ to make that happen since he has a deal at WB right now.It's not really a secret, he's tweeted he wants a future where Disney owns all big media so he can have a movie franchise where The Avengers, Justice League and Harry Potter all cross over many times.
Hell, he's been crying for a Harry Potter remake since 2011, when the last one came out
What is it with mentally-deficient geeks and crossovers?It's not really a secret, he's tweeted he wants a future where Disney owns all big media so he can have a movie franchise where The Avengers, Justice League and Harry Potter all cross over many times.
Because it makes their arms flap and they don't understand the concept of "too much of a good thing".What is it with mentally-deficient geeks and crossovers?
I mean, they’re fun but not that great.
Chapek folded, unfortunately.Not filming in Georgia allowed Disney to virtue signal to its base of affluent white female liberals while not affecting Disney financially.

I would say because there is a bit of a storied history in the case of Justice League/Avengers. Marvel and DC experimented with it in the seventies when they jointly released MGM's Wizard of Oz, which led to Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man in 1976. The success of subsequent crossovers like 1982's X-Men/New Teen Titans led to the green lighting of Justice League of America/Avengers for 1983, which both companies scuttled partly due to George Perez completing several pages before Jim Shooter gave the script the go-ahead. Since then there was an air of mystery around it with Rob Liefeld even acquiring the pages. However, it wasn't until 2002 that Marvel and DC tried again with JLAvengers by Perez and Kurt Busiek, which was pretty damn good. The unfortunate part is that rights issues have kept the trade out of print for years.What is it with mentally-deficient geeks and crossovers?

They got pretty weird with the crossovers. Punisher meets Archie, Bats & Supes vs Predator vs Aliens, Punisher meets Eminem. I swear, they printed the books with traces of the coke they were snorting.I would say because there is a bit of a storied history in the case of Justice League/Avengers.

On that note, Marvel and DC have agreed to reprint the trade to honor Perez after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
