You know, I don't think we say this enough. For all of the horrible bile he spews out there's one constant above all else: Bob is stupid.
This is the man who thinks Captain N and the Super Mario Bros. Super Show are God's gift to man. Who thinks Spider-Man 2 is the pinnacle of cinematic achievement. The man who compared the console wars to 'Nam without a hint of irony. The man who can't understand why living in a basement surrounded by toys is pathetic. The man who can't understand why skipping your own grandmother's funeral to buy an air conditioner is a shitty thing to do. The man who thinks marriage is like a horrible 50s sitcom. The man who told gamers they needed to get in shape before giving himself diabetes from eating too many goddamn cookies. The man who thinks intelligence and morality are the same thing. The man who thinks everyone in the American Midwest is simultaneously a toothless KKK cross burner and a Call of Duty obsessed dude bro. The man who thinks Hillary Clinton could and would have converted the moon into a wheat growing paradise in eight years tops. The man who constantly dismisses people over minor typos when he clearly has no idea how punctuation works. The man who thinks, "Winners don't do drugs" was a conspiracy to make you use drugs. The man who thinks GamerGate was organized political conspiracy to elect Trump. This is the man who thinks FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS DID NINE-ELEVEN!
The fact that Bob is an actual person and also hasn't managed to kill himself in hilarious fashion astonishes me. Jesus Christ.
Yes, exactly. Bob's 'criticism' is that of a sophomore High School student. The reason why 1st year film students, green, surpass him is because Bob doesn't operate on the level of 'adult'. He operates on the level of child. That's mentally what he is. He's so fucking stupid he championed Eugenics (which started off as a field call fucking Racial Science) and he considers himself not racist. He believes intelligence is the pinnacle, and that he himself possesses it. This stupid fat fuck has lard in his brain. There have been many, many MANY intelligent people who are stone cold monsters. Or who have used their intelligence to exploit themselves.
Anyone who follows him or thinks he's insightful is a fucking retarded idiot and has brain damage. And Bob is killing himself. The stupid fat fuck is eating himself to death with diabetes. His life is a fucking pathetic joke. Console wars as Vietnam, his only reference to gaming is to one made 30 years ago, he can't grasp the nuances of even the most simple of blockbuster films. And he ADMITS shit like this. He admits to all of this shit willingly. How the fuck do you read any of that and consider 'hey, this man is smart'.
I know we aren't supposed to get mad at lolcows, but its just impossible. His stupidity, combined with his self-assured arrogance, him being an obvious man-child is just too much. I mean, I've seen stupid people before but Bob really takes the fucking cake. I have never seen someone so arrogant and as egotistical with so little to back it up before.
And? Motherfucker. You really don't understand the punisher, do you? Stop talking like you are this cultured comic critic. When you know jack-dipping shit about the character.
And even then your idea for the punisher would kill any momentum he can have. God.
The Punisher can be incredibly complex, morality wise. He's been written several ways. One way is that the Punisher knows exactly what he is doing is wrong, and that he himself is damned. The thing is, he believes in sacrificing himself and his own goodness because it is what needs to be done.
The other way, my more favorite way, is that the only thing that truly kept him at peace was his family. He always liked war, but he committed to his family. They were the only thing who could bring him peace. Once they were killed, there was nothing shackling him, and he's in a state of constant pain and turmoil. One of my favorite lines from the Ennis book ishe states the only time he feels at peace is shooting bullets into a human wall of assholes. He knows it is wrong, that it is evil, but he just doesn't care. He's a force of nature. He forgoes human connections because the loss of his family basically destroyed him and he just becomes a total sociopath with a stringent moral code (he actually has one. In that he never kills the innocent, never kills law enforcement and he will not do anything to put innocents in harms way). He doesn't let anyone get close because for one, he doesn't want to feel the pain of loss again and for two, he's basically like a holy crusader. Nothing is more important than his eternal war, it is the only thing that brings him peace. And he doesn't really care if he dies or not. That's what makes him so dangerous. He just has no regard for himself and will do insane things that you just don't expect.
Ennis' run added a lot of complexity, as did several others before him. He just brought the Punisher out of the oversaturation slump. That stupid fat fuck never read a Punisher book in his life. And he has no idea why they used Metallica in the trailer. They used it because its a callback to the violent movies of the 1980s. And the Metallica song, One
is a fucking antiwar song you dumb piece of shit. You know why they used that as well? Its because Frank Castle is a victim of war as much as a perpetrator. It left him damaged and then war took what little he had left. Holy shit, I fucking hate this cunt. In case anyone doesn't know the history of the album
...And Justice for All

“One,” the final single from the album, is based on the 1971 film Johnny Got His Gun which tells the story of a severely injured World War I soldier whose arms and limbs have been blown off and has lost all of his senses. Now a prisoner in his own body, the subject is desperate to be released from his pain. It’s not hard to imagine Frank Castle, an army vet who feels betrayed by the country he served, to feel like the soldier James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich imagined.
Bob reduces an artistic choice with meaning and pathos that describes the entire character, his struggle and his pain to some edge-lord choice. This is how bad of a pop-culture critic he is. He knows nothing about pop-culture or art. He is so fucking stupid it is painful. On the plus side, it seems that the showrunners know the character. Or at least the trailer editor does.
As I said before, Bob has no capability to evaluate morally complex things. Its why his gaming taste is basically the Super Mario Brothers. In morality terms, its simple. Mario is good, Bowser bad. Nothing complex or no nuance. Anyway, it seems his opinion is going to be useless. 33k likes, 300 dislikes, nearly half a million views.
