I didn't watch that review, so could I get a TL;DW about what you mean by that?

As far as I can tell, he liked it but was weirdly adamant that people shouldn't make any more R-rated, dark superhero movies, apparently unaware that the MCU had been doing similar material before Logan.

 

[BlueSpark]

Isn't that what he wants?

Honestly, I think he'd hate that.
Virtue signaling and hating on evil conservatives is literally all that he has in life and the only things that elevate his status above that of pond life in the eyes of fellow leftists; if those conservatives changed their opinions and became leftists themselves then Blob wouldn't be able to virtue-signal and would have to be judged on his own merits.
And he doesn't have merits.

I didn't watch that review, so could I get a TL;DW about what you mean by that?

In his Logan review, he praised the film while imploring other comic book filmmakers not to ape its gritty, violent style. What I meant was that he doesn't seem to get that subsequent films will do so either in hopes of cashing in (like how they did with comic book movies after The Dark Knight, which I believe is also a trend he hates) or in a more organic way. He seems to believe it's possible for a movie to stand apart from every other film of its genre without, in his view, tainting them with its aesthetics, style, or themes. My point was just that this is something that happens naturally across all artforms, be they film or literature or music, and it struck me as bizarre that a self-appointed film critic wouldn't understand that.

I know Bob's an idiot and I'm no political genius either that but why does Bob associate liberalism with the idea that nations should be done away with? Not even his idol Hillary got on stage to rant about America being a thing of a past. It's doubtful you'll ever accomplish that without jumping right into imperialism which SJWs he follow hate and it doesn't exactly get rid of the nation problem.

Western leftists are increasingly interested in globalism and international involvement in bodies like the UN and the EU. This is why anti-illegal immigration laws make such a huge stink in American liberal circles. Mainstream politicians know better and don't openly advocate turning the world into one government, but they do emphasize globalist politics. Bob just drops the political nuance and insists destroying borders will give us the lunar wheat farms.

Of course. Rich Evans is God's gift to humanity.

Bob wishes he could be Rich Evans. But instead he's just a dumber, fatter Tony Goldmark. Just replace Disneyland with Mario 3.

Nah, it's the other way around. Tony is a bargain bin Bob, who is a bargain bin Dobson, who is a bargain bin Joss Whedon.

Hey, at least Joss had some success. The most these guys will get is scorn and a bunch of autistic fanboys and SJWs willing to suckle their metaphorical teets.

When a film like Logan threatens the creative success of Marvel, a studio he holds dear, he'll get really uppity and defensive dismissing whatever that movie will be. It happened with Halo and COD towards Nintendo, and it'll happen with Fox and Marvel.

I do wonder why Bob is so defensive when it comes to the MCU.You could assume he was on the payroll of Disney or something but then you realise that Disney would probably not be stupid enough to give money to a fat diabetic from Boston at least i hope.So the only logical conclusion is that the guy is filling up his needs for emotional connection with Mario and superhero movies.
Which is kind of sad in a way since it means he's basically that comic book guy from the Simpsons but in real life.Taking entertainment so seriously as to base his entire life around it.Bob and his situation would almost be sad if he wasn't such a smug jerk about it.If he tried to be at least somewhat sympathetic as a person.

 

[Pointless Pedant]

At least Bob Chipman hates anti vaxxers. That's something.

 

[cypocryphy]

He has no coherent ideology whatsoever. His ideology is literally on the level of a Dalek.

His ideology could be summed up as,"I'm smarter than everyone else".

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Still doesn't make up for all the other bullshit he's said.

 

[Positron]

For the moment only: you never know which way the SJW wind blows.

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

At least Bob Chipman hates anti vaxxers. That's something.

He would probably consider it exclusively a right-wing position though. Granted, yes, there are a shit-ton of right-wingers who believe this nonsense, but there's plenty of loopy, hippy-dippy, leftists who believe it too.

 

[TheImportantFart]

Bill Maher, for all his wanking himself off over how smart and rational he is, believes it.

 

[NoStinkingBadges]

He has no coherent ideology whatsoever. His ideology is literally on the level of a Dalek.

"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! THE! REFRIGERATOR!"

If anything, he should be glad that it did so well, because having competition forces people to up their game, and the same is true for movies.

Fittingly enough, James Gunn, the guy who made both Guardians movies, wrote on his Facebook about how he dealt with his own isolation and unpopularity growing up through movies and pop culture like Bob did. The difference is that James Gunn is a talented, ambitious, wildly successful writer/director who got to where he is by being personable and hard-working, while that same background could just as easily belong to a bitter, untalented, fiercely unlikeable dumbass like Bob.

But comic book guy actually managed to get a wife.
