it is always so weird and pathetic the way Robert talks about Kevin Feige, as if he is this otherwordly genius that has planned the most successful media roadmap, playing with demographics as if he is the Mozart of public perception.
I'm sure Kevin Feige is a smart guy and he worked hard to make the MCU the sucess it is, however, unlike Robert here I won't pretend I know the inner workings when producing a multi-billion dolar movie franchise, but to act as if Kevin Feige has pre-cog powers to view how different movie goers demos will receive his movies, as if he has mind bending manipulations powers to see how exact the "moms" and the "comic books nerds" will react to his movies and how issues like "continuity" will affact them is giving a unreasonable amount of credit.
And I get why Robert does that, it is the same reason on why political pundits act as if politicians have this 4d chess game going on, because if someone points out the 4D chess games moves then it means that they are smart enough to even see the 4d chess game (unlike the rest of the plebeians), same with Robert, he is "movie industry savvy" to get the genius of Kevin Feige, and so putting him on the same "league" as him, it ain't so much about blowing Feigue, but for Robert to stroke his own ego with his peerless analysis.
No to mention that the "MCU" as we know right now wasn't that big of a thing till Avengers. The Edward Norton Hulk movies that was supposed to start it all was a flop, Iron Man was a hit, but mostly because of RDJ and everybody agreed that the 3rd act of the movie sucked, Thor was meh and nobody really cared, Iron Man 2 sucked because it was a rushed mess to capitalize on the success of the first one and Captain America was "okay".
It took time and alot of money to make the MCU the sucess it is, and for their credit, they kept on track for their big pay off, something rare in these days when movies have only the opening week and a couple more for a chance to make it's money back, few have the luxury Feige has to be able to wait to see if their investments will pay off.
And that is all it was, hard work, a LOT of money, and some luck of being in the right time and place, not some reality bending wizardy from a guy whoi has some shitty tastes in baseball caps.

If it wasn't for the fact Iron Man did well the MCU would not exist. But what a lot of people forget is that it was using an underutilized hero. Until the RDJ vehicle, no one knew much about him other than his "powers" were he was super rich and had power armor. Cap was tried in the 80s and didn't do that well, and Hulk was the first non-X-Men attempt in years solely because the old TV series with Lou Ferrigno did okay which led to recognition. X-Men only got tried because the 90s cartoon did really well (I grew up watching it and loved it). Hell, the movie didn't even have a script, the lines were 90% ad libbed. But they had the technology to make the suit look good and RDJ blew it out of the water because he didn't need to act to play a spoiled rich guy with a substance abuse problem. But since the other movies only did okay at best, I can guarantee the execs only gave Avengers a shot since Guardians did shockingly well and they already had all the rights for it and if it tanked they'd pull the plug.

Just wanted to say to all the diehards out here:
Congratulations on nearing 5k posts with a thread for a large sexless retarded man whose ego and disturbing grudges surpass previous legends like Chris Chan or god forbid even Greer. There is only minor A-logging despite Bob being quite possibly one of the most obnoxious types of personality possible. Sure, he doesn't fuck dogs or kids, but his tweets and unwarranted vanity are enough to drive most people away from the thread.
With that, I would like to give a shout-out and a large thank you to @Positron and @Ralph Barnhardt who legit suffer to bring us screenshots in a nice readable form that would drive lesser men insane. Every day, I believe they go on Twitter and have to read tweets from a butter golem who just constantly talks about gassing the poors and how smart he is for talking about children's capeshit movies.
Here is to the 5k and more years posting about a man who has never had sex.

Giving Feige credit for Iron Man doesn't even make sense. Jon Favreau and Downey Jr. (who Favreau fought Marvel to keep cast as Tony Stark) should get the bulk of the credit for so many of the decisions that people love. Feige didn't get promoted until it had already started filming after Avi Arad stepped down. The Nick Fury scene was done by Favreau and the crew, Jackson got the contract for all the films after it as it was never intended as part of some grand scheme that Feige had created from the start. Bob's confusing his fan fiction for actual recorded history again. Feige doesn't give himself as much credit for the MCU's financial success as Bob does.

Had no idea about the Nick Fury scene, so the MCU had some spit balling going on.
And yeah, I don't get from where Robert get this idolatry for Kevin Feige from. It was never much clear what his creative involvement with the movies are, but from the looks of it. yes, the MCU is heavly pre-produced and you get the storyboards for actions scenes and set pieces and roadmapas for what the movies will be about years before a single draft of a script is written, and being the executive Producer of varios on going projects, probably the most Feige gets involved in creative decisions are a Yay or nay, since he also has to oversee budgets, marketing, scheduling etc.
And like you mentioned, whenever I see Feige on interviews, which isn't all that many, he just does his job to sell the movie, it seems the media gravitated towards him because it is easier to sell a picture around a central figure, Walt Disney had fuck all to do with his animation movies after Fantasia, and yet whenever a new animated movie came out "Walt Disney presents!".
But Feige himself seems down to earth, he just sells his movies and seems to keep the ego in check, which suits the man, since he isn't a charisma powerhourse either, and his high profile directors seems to do a better job gathering people's attention.
Which is yet another reason on why this Feige idolatry from Robert is so fucking weird.

While the diabetes is a meme, we know for sure he has something. He has visibly deteriorated since his Game Overthinker days, and somewhere in this thread there's a picture of him in shorts, with a red splotch clearly visible on one leg. Maybe it's the diabetes, maybe it's his liver, maybe it's just a solid decade of virulent hate taking its toll. But he is not doing well.
I've seen Daria. She is sarcastic, snarky, always has a witty one-liner/comeback, and tries to come off as jaded and above it all while really coming off as annoying.
I'll bet that every single bit of snark and sarcasm you see in the media today can be traced back to her.

My guess would be circulation problems, which might or might not be a result of diabetes. I've seen similar blotches on someone who had such bad circulatory problems they eventually killed him. Major difference was that guy's splotches didn't show up until he was in his 60s and he'd already had cancer in that leg. Bob is just ... unhealthy.

Guess Mommy finally let him paint the wall.
Except that ignores that when Feige is talking about this, he doesn't mean he literally goes into each movie with no idea of what's happening next. Whedon wasn't allowed to have Cap say "Avengers Assemble" or lift Thor's hammer because there'd be more impact when he finally did both in Endgame. All of the action scenes for these movies are shot two years in advance and the director and writers have to write around them. The MCU just gives a little more freedom to the directors and then undoes anything inconvenient (Such as Iron Man destroying his suits at the end of Iron Man 3, or Thor getting a new eye in Infinity War).
Bob just assumes that Feige is smart enough to wave his magic wand (thinking) and make a successful franchise because he's too dumb to understand how smart people actually work.

I think part of it is the reveal that, rather than having everything planned out, the MCU is actually pretty flexible and doesn't have a real plan. I can easily see Bob as being one of those 'writers' who doesn't plan out his stories and just writes from beginning to end with a vague idea and assumes everyone else does the same thing and they're lying about building the world or building the plot before they get started. That Feige admits that he does this for the MCU is just more proof that Bob's backwards methods truly are superior because if something like the MCU can be done that way, then obviously when Bob finally gets around to his film career he can do it too.

It boils down to him overlaying his worldview on the world itself..... to his children's-fiction sensibilities, every massive commercial undertaking can't be the result of large groups of people working in concert (those are just masses of dumb "believers" ) , it's much more pleasing to see them as the work of one great supergenius (a thinker) whose hand guides all and without which all productivity grinds to a halt.
Like how in comic books, one, or maybe two, if you're lucky, scientists (as opposed to an entire team of them) working in a lab that's just on some street corner and not part of a larger institution, like a university or military base, can whip up things like faster-than-light spaceships, interdimensional travel or self-aware AIs with the same amount of effort it takes for us to cook stir fry?
Bob thinks that's how the world works, or, rather SHOULD. - Everything good is the result of the cultured, thinking, elite, and them alone. If we wouldn't let the dumb drooling mayoghouls hog all the food and electricity, they'd have invented that immortal robot body for him by now.
Feige being the Real World analogue to the supervillains from 60's era Hanna-Barbera cartoons who can conquer the globe in an afternoon, single-handedly, as long as Birdman doesn't show up seems perfectly logical to him. It's how he imagines the world working, and though I suspect he knows as he gets older that it's a fantasy, his coping strategy is to get angry at others for breaking the willing suspension of disbelief by pointing it out instead of him for having an ignorant viewpoint that he never bothered to reevaluate for 40 years.

To add to the Catcher in The Rye discourse, I read when I was a freshman in high school and hated it. Holdern Caulfied is a eternally woe-is-me prick who completely lacks self-awareness. Just because he had one sweet moment with his sister does not make him a good person, nor does it make him a good protagonist. The guy who shot John Lennon could've at least chose a book that wasn't nearly as gay as motivation to blow away a Beatle. Bob is a lot like Holden Caulfield because he is also an immature, whining jackass that wierdos idiolize when all he deserves is to be beaten in public.

It is a doomer novel, its appeal comes from the pessimism it approachs the world and the coming of age story, the characters are (mostly) pricks on propose. It is not a particularly great doomer book, but it is decent tho i am biased, if you are not a fan of pessimistic literature, it will definitely not be the book that will win you over

Kinda, Robert goes back and forth with this shit. Other week he was talking about how most movie directors are technicians with very little passion for watching movies, which isn't all that wrong, a lot of filmmakers aren't movie buffs, and I think that might be for the better in most part, then he goes onto a anectdote from Herzog about how movie directos should be boot camp leaders of some shit, point is, Robert likes to downplay the "artist soul" from the majority of filmakers.
And I kinda agree in the sense that filmaking is a craft that takes know-how but at the same time I find it reductive, and knowing Robert, it is a low-key way to downplay those who are more sucesseful than him.
Then he turns a 180 and puts some of these guys of fucking pedestals, explaining how their genius work, and the funny thing is, his explanations are always some convoluted bullshit about how these people have some sort of magic power, and it always comes across as if Robert has some sort of kin with them, as in he understands how they think and how they play audiences and blah blah blah.
This shit is just a few step removed from the guy who claims that he can write/direct the next big Marvel movie if only given the opportunity, but the world is unfair.

Ah, I remember Daria. I was a teenager, I thought it was good and I liked Daria as a character. That is obviously not a recommendation, as evidenced by my posts here I'm a complete asshole whose maturation process has been more about learning to do precise deployment of my dickishness rather than abandoning it entirely. I dimly remember being less impressed with later seasons. Of course, I also wasn't a teenager anymore by then.
The use of music was good, though. I remember being surprised to hear a Pet Shop Boys track ("Too Many People", not one of the common ones) at one point. The end-credit art was nice too, it was clearly a case of telling whoever did the art "Draw a Daria character as something." and some of it was neat because of how out-there it was.
As for Catcher in the Rye, I never read it. Though I picked up that line on pretending to be a deaf-mute and used it on an annoying guy on the subway. Worked pretty well, turns out even someone who likes hearing themselves talk hates not having an audience.
My only other knowledge of it is that it influenced the authors of Life is Strange which is a fairly damning indictment.
We'd have to take space away from Bob, though.

And born rich.
I have no idea why "intellectual" people are so enamored by Holden Caulfield. He is just a Byronic hero without the wit and the superficial charm.
Psaki's plaster is falling apart. She thinks anyone who asks questions on Fox News's behalf will come off like a "stupid son of a bitch" (Archive of NYDN story)
I strongly doubt Pskai is a good fuck, but different strokes.
Matty again. This is the film he is referring to. There is no chance in the cosmos that Bobby has watched it; still he has to pretend he has.
Musk. Bobby's jealousy is palpable,
And if you hope for Musk to create jobs in America, you might just hate brown people. You might even want to *gasp* gas jews!
(Aside: one of the thing that Musk MUST DO to Twitter is to disable the "quote tweet" function. The two sides quote-tweeted each other and it took me so much effort to put this convo in its proper form.)

Not even MCU is immune to fake news.
Rando observes that MCU is getting even more childish than when they started.
The young rebels against the old. Truly Sophoclesian, you know, like Antigone.
Another expletive-laden non-review because these are so cool. Bobby would rather people watch Sonic 2 than letting Rowling earn another red cent.
He didn't even bother to change his shirt.
Bobby overcame his shock at Mr. Enter's idiocy and fired back. Who'd be the biggest cock on the cartoon roost?
Enter bites back:
("Unhinged" is the right word; Enter went on and on)
Angel has been Bobby's Guardian Angel for long.
This is downright postmodern bricolage.

Oh Jesus Christ Bob, pick a fucking type beyond "has a pulse." If you're simping for the world's ugliest ginger just because she's a ginger then you're a step removed from fucking a tranny. This guy is such a pathetic coomer. It pisses me off more than his political takes! He's giving a bad name to chivalrous perverts everywhere!

Bob, in addition to trying to imitate what he thinks Cavemen sounded like, sounds like he was trying a little too hard to imitate Tim the Toolman Taylor (Tim Allen) on Home Improvement. If Bob was on TV, would it be called "Home SIMProvement"?

It wasn't funny for the reasons you think it was funny, bob. It was fucking pathetically ridiculous. Bob having a temper tantrum is amusing in that it's a lolcow being a lolcow, can't help but laugh at that. But this was not some fucking comedy gold that Bob intentionally shat out. It's more like "LOL IS HE FUCKING SERIOUS" nonsense.
