Exactly, which is why I keep questioning why he wants to push more superhero MCU films out there when Marvel itself has an existential crisis on it's hands. Marvel Studios is at the mercy of a superhero film fad and Marvel Entertainment is now comically incompetent and now broke after leeching off Studios until the split. He's valuing more MCU movies right now over the properties he's fanboying over having a future (Does he even actually like comics?).

Sorry if I'm not explaining my rambling that well.
When it comes to entertainment Bob is more or less like a drug addict. Always concerned only with the next fix. Of course when the MCU inevitably comes crashing down we all know it will of course be the Dudebro's/Trump's fault instead of Marvel Studio's insatiable greed and overwhelming ego. And what an app metaphor for Bob himself. This is coming from someone who likes the MCU by the way. Strange thing is you think Bob would hate the MCU and champion the comics. If only for the reason that the MCU is mainstream, and therefore likely to be enjoyed by said Dudebro's/Trump, and more or less apolitical compared to the SJW infested comics.

Shut the fuck up, Nash. All I want out of you is more WTFIWWY, I don't need biting political commentary from someone who was "emotionally incapable" of hosting his radio show when Trump got elected.

And Bob...just shut up.

People wonder why I consider Twitter to be the worst thing ever. I literally have nothing positive to say about anyone on there.
Wait, really?
 
More Supergirl shilling:

http://screenrant.com/supergirl-season-2-finale-she-persisted-political/

Of all the superhero series currently running on mainstream television, Supergirl is probably the one that hews most closely to some semblance of reality. That’s not to say that it’s not as “out there” as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (with which it shares the plot elements of secret government agencies and omnipresent alien invasion) or the rest of the CW DC series (from which it is one dimension removed), but it’s hard to deny that Supergirl probably spends more “downtime” in its characters lives away from comic book heroics than anything else in the genre.

Part of that is likely the leftover DNA from the series original conception as part of the CBS lineup, which frames Supergirl’s first season as a more traditional Millennial “working-girl” series where the complicated part of the heroine’s mandatory complicated personal life was that she was also Supergirl. As such, the show has at its foundation an episode-to-episode formula wherein character relationships and long-term personal storylines take precedence over supervillain shenanigans – which are typically presented either as B-stories or as the inciting incidents that call personal/character issues into the forefront (see: the most recent episode, “Alex,” where a villain kidnapping/imprisoning Alex Danvers is mainly an opportunity to exacerbate and then resolve issues between Kara and Maggie Sawyer).


Season 2 has leaned more heavily into the offbeat side of its setup, having moved to the same network (though not the same universe – it’s complicated) as the broader DCEU “Arrowverse,” but the normal-ness of Kara’s world relative to the world of the presumed audience has remained a fixed-point in its development. That’s to be expected, but the most notable long-term effect on the series proper likely wasn’t: In being the Arrowverse production that lives closest to reality in terms of worldbuilding, Supergirl has come to grapple most directly with topical subject matter… effectively making it the most politically-charged superhero show on broadcast television.

To be sure, there aren’t a lot of contenders for that title: The rest of the Arrowverse shows are more concerned with their own respective mythos than matters that touch reality, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – despite being about a government surveillance agency – has only opted to stake out a newsworthy ideological bent in it’s recent season 4 HYDRA-centric alternate-universe story (though they’ve made up for lost time in having a villain growl about “Making HYDRA great again!” to drive the metaphor home). But that’s all still far and removed from Supergirl, which built much its first season around Kara and Cat Grant eyeing each other uneasily across the ideological gulf between Millennial and Boomer/Gen-X feminism and centered season 2 on the immigration-allegory of Supergirl’s origin story and her conflict with an anti-alien hate group that parallels the rise of anti-immigrant White Nationalism in the U.S. and Europe.


Now, with the announcement of the title of season 2’s final episode, Supergirl has once again signaled that it has no intention of backing off this particular distinction. As revealed late Monday night, the hotly-anticipated seasonal sendoff will be titled “Nevertheless, She Persisted” – a reference to a derisive criticism leveled at U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren by a male colleague that became a political flashpoint earlier this year. Warren, who had been speaking against the controversial nomination of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III to the post of Attorney General by President Donald Trump, had begun to read from a letter warning against Sessions’ record on race relations from a previous nomination authored by Coretta Scott King (the widow of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King) only to be interrupted by a vote to silence her; with Republican Mitch McConnell describing the situation in dry terms:

“Senator Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

The quote became a viral hashtag phenomenon almost immediately, initially in support of Warren’s protestation but growing to encompass support for women in politics more broadly. In March, Chelsea Clinton (daughter of former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton) announced that she would author a children’s book about female accomplishment throughout history with “She Persisted” as its title.

It would probably be pushing it to assume that “borrowing” the now-iconic quote for its finale title is meant to indicate anything about the actual plot of Supergirl’s Season 2 sendoff – whatever is about to go down between Kara Zor-El, The D.E.O., Queen Rhea, Lena Luthor and (maybe?) Lillian Luthor and CADMUS probably bears little resemblance to a Senate vote for or against an Attorney General nominee, and it’s likely that Supergirl is co-opting the title mainly as a reference to Kara overcoming some yet to be revealed hardship to fight another day as a “hat-tip” to the series’ studiously-maintained feminist bonafides.

But that doing so is seen (clearly) as a priority for the series can only strengthen indications that Supergirl is planning to own its (not so secret) identity as the socially-conscious superhero series even more strongly as it heads into Season 3. And considering it wasn’t too long ago that how – if at all – the show would adjust to the era of Donald Trump (considering that one of its main plotlines was clearly drafted as a preemptive parallel to the presumed eventuality of a very different U.S. President) felt like an open question; that should make the future very interesting indeed.
 
Greaaat another show turning political because the creators dislike Donald Trump.

And with Bob supporting its more political angle, this is one show I won't be watching any time soon.

Yeah I'm really starting to get peeved at all the TV shows throwing out such ham-fisted political commentary. And even more peeved at internet hacks at TMS or HuffPo sea lioning about how powerful it is when screenwriters come up with a villain whose entire personality is "See, ain't I just like Mistah 45 himself?".

Most of this stuff was garbage the first time they did it around 2001-2008 -- the years that sent Law & Order straight into the shitter, among many others.

It's funny because Bob called Matt Stone and Trey Parker cowards for opting not to make fun of Trump, not realizing that they had also refused to make fun of Bush for the same reason; everyone's already doing it and there's nothing unique in mocking him.

Say what you will about Stone and Parker, but they're smart for not wanting to beat a horse so dead its bones are practically dust. And Bob hates them for it.

I think that this is part of a push on the part of writers/directors/internet hacks to "resist" Donald Trump by attacking his ego. Whether or not that works out in the long run or not is the real question; we're seeing a lot of drop off in television viewing, but that's a more complicated issue than people disliking television due to their political views. Bob is lapping this garbage up because of its political overtones, while others are turning away because the current programming is garbage.

I brought this up before in this thread but it bears repeating. People like Bob believe if you don't mock and a-log Trump at all times, you are complacent in his tyranny. These idiots do actually believe they're the IRL version of the Rebel Alliance. I'm not sure which is more laughable: the fact they believe this, or the fact they think the best method of resistance is pumping out shitty TV shows where some asshole in orange facepaint mugs about how much he hates Muslims and homos.

It would be one thing to write an article about his policies in four years time, and critiquing them based on what the stats say. Many will start to do this to Obama, many already have and have come to their own conclusions.

What is not okay is to do a mockery of that political leader with (Ironically) skin deep resemblance to the object of mockery. Worse, it's never in good spirit. Like, when shows like Spitting Image and such would mock people, there was always a sense of good nature to it, like jokes about Ronald Reagan being ancient and having his finger on the nuclear trigger.

It would be like if people made loads of television shows where the villain was a loose caricature of Obama, a black faced villain who came from abroad to take over the country and make it COMMUNIST! That would be an unfair assessment.

It's worth noting despite even my past claims I don't think Bob has ever actually brought up lunar wheat farms. A Google search suggests he's never mentioned it once. My guess is it's a mutation if criticism towards his low information pipe dreams about the Superior Future.

Ironically enough, Moon wheat features prominently on a certain Heinlein book about uppity libertarians telling the globalist government to fuck off and let them run themselves.
The "wheat on the moon" quote doesn't come from his Twitter, it's something he said in a private chat with @LordKaT.
Close but no cigar I think?


At least, I know the 'dream' where Activision caused 9/11 comes from here.
 
Not to mention those people with "old ideas" actually show up to the polls on election day, unlike footless faggots like Blob and his social justice cult. They don't seem to have learned that ranting on social media before and on election day doesn't change shit.

They also tend to have jobs and support their families, unlike BasementBob and SJWs.

It's deliciously ironic how much Randroid kool-aid Bob has drunk because according to his own standards, he's a parasite.
 
For all of Bob's ego deep down at the subconscious level He's incredibly insecure. He's also the ultimate manchild with an ego the size of moon. To him things like Halo, COD, Xbox, Playstation, PC, DC, Republican's, X-Men, are more than rivals to things he likes like Nintendo, Marvel, Hillary. They are nothing less than an attack on His interest's and Him personally. It's why He attacks different interest's and viewpoint's so bitterly. He has to be validated. He ego just justify's it as putting the peasant's in their place. The console war's are His own Vietnam because Sega is a threat to Mario the center of His life and reason for living. Same logic goes for Halo and COD. They take the limelight away the Real gaming icon Mario. I could go on but you get the idea.

They don't want it to be in "good spirit" and will insult and chastise people who make this argument. Remember, we're not dealing with critics. Bob and his ilk are A-Logs. They will be as mean-spirited and venomous as they like because in their world Trump is Evil with a capital E. They don't think they're exaggerating when they compare him to Hitler. Being vitriolic and even violent is a moral imperative from their perspective because remember, Trump and his voters are literal Nazis.

There's something else to consider here. Yes, Bob and people like him consider Trump voters to be literal Nazis, but quite apart from it being a poor opinion of others, it also elevates Bob and his fellow-travelers. After all, the Nazis were arguably the greatest evil of the modern world, and pretty much the only ones you can unambiguously portray as thoroughly evil with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. As Steven Spielberg said of the Indiana Jones movies, Nazis make great villains because nobody cares what you do to them. So ... if Bob is a part of the Resistance (and Lord how it rankles to hear people misappropriate that word), how wonderful and special and good he must be, right? He's standing against the worst evil of all time! He must be special, and not just a bitter, petty, pop culture junkie marinating in his own failure.
