You ain't got no feet, Lt. Bob!

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

They're mindless action movies that don't make him think. They're perfect for him

And everyone knows Bob never thinks at all. Just look at all the vile shit he spews on a regular basis.

 

[A Watchful Ghost]

They're mindless action movies that don't make him think. They're perfect for him

And any superhero film that throws him off his comfort zone like Logan. He'll dismiss it like it's a different thing. Lovely fellow we have here.

Random thought I've just had: why exactly does Bob love the Marvel Cinematic Universe so much? He doesn't know much about the comics it's based on (and what he does know he gets from Wikipedia), so it probably isn't because he's a fan of Marvel comics in the first place, and the films are largely apolitical, and he tends to most like films that reaffirm his political beliefs. So what about these movies gives Bob such a raging hard-on?

We know he liked Spider-Man from the Raimi movies which was an "almost religious experience" according to himself.

Most likely because the MCU is a big thing in pop culture currently (though not for long IMO) and the SocJus crowd tried clinging themselves to it. Bob is trying to be an intellectual with normie trash.

Even with its faults, BvS offered something different that was not as formulaic as the MCU. Or it's just "too dark".

Paradoxically it might be the lack of politics in the films, compared to the ideological stench-heap in the comics (that even someone who never read the comics are well aware of), that provides the scope for endless sperging and virtue-signaling. He and his Overladies want the films to "live up to" the comics, so Disney will be the World's moral conscience.

Oh, I may be able to answer the marvel origin autism: Spidey had that 80s cartoon by himself alongside the one with Iceman and Firestar, a mutant they shat out for the show. That one in particular was often in that same spot as fucking Mario Bros. Super Show, the Zelda one, and Ruby Spears Megaman. So Bobby was likely exposed to such 'gems' like these as a kid and is just being a tribal faggot:

Spoiler: 80's Spiderman Pigshit

He may have also saw the really old 60s cartoons too at the time. Y'know, the ones that would cut corners by just using comic stills when possible for the show. At least that'd explain why he thinks he knows the comics. @Fuck you jewish cunt got the main reason he slobbers about the movies themselves... though why he has a boner for the Raimi films is inexplicable to me outside of tism.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

I wonder what Bob's thoughts are on some of the 90's superhero cartoons? He probably hates shit like X-Men, Batman TAS, Justice League or Spider-Man because it wasn't just meaningless shlock like the MCU is.

 

[Brother Wind]

Oh let's be fair, he probably is a fan, like in the same sense I'm a fan of Metallica. As in the Black album and Master of Puppets are good stuff I listen to often. I even own Justice for All and Ride the Lightning.

But his arrogance won't let him admit he doesn't know everything. He's got to be an ubermensch on funny books. So he misses the fun of being a fan. Like when I keep digging into Fleetwood Mac and find things like Kiln Houses.

Sorry about the analogy, I listen to a lot of music, but know shit about comics that don't have the X-Men in them.

I think Bob may have an appreciation for Batman: TAS, but it would likely be a shallow appreciation of it. As for X-Men: TAS, that I would not be too sure about. He would have around twelve or thirteen (assuming he was born in 1980) when it first aired, so he could have watched it, but I doubt that he has as much appreciation for it as someone who spent their mid-to-late childhood watching it.

Bob and his ilk are pretty much ruining the MCU for me because of their excessive praise and notable lack of critical engagement with the material. I could go on at length on subjects like the shallow characterization of the villains or the lack of pathos, but I will not for the sake of brevity. Bob will inject his crackpot ideology in his "analysis" of the films to give them the illusion of depth, but I will call the MCU out for what it is: lowest common denominator entertainment. The only reason why Bob is into it is because it is popular at the moment and his desire for validation fuels his "fandom" more than anything else.

Simple. Bob is the Ultimate Brand Whore. The kind of consumer CEOs have wet dreams about. Slap that logo on the front of the box and Bob well shell out the money without even thinking. As for the politics aspect...Well thats simple too. Look at how much he spergs about Chris Evans being the "Perfect Captain America" for example. His :autism: addled mind has probably decided that the character's share the politics of their actors. Which even a rather ignorant of the comics MCU fan like myself knows is ridiculously hilariously wrong.

Bob is the sort of person who’d support Konami’s decision to make a MGS3 pachinko machine.

I'm not actually sure either, considering he lacks knowledge about these movies he likes so much. He thought Wakanda was a secret in the MCU and forgot it was depicted as a UN member in some of the more recent installments.

Now I want to see an artist rendition of bob in Vietnam holding the virtual boy like one holds a fallen comrade. But I can’t do it because my artist ability makes Chris Chan look like Picasso

Bob likes Marvel movies because they're successful, and targeted at his demographic. They are 'nerd culture' (don't get me started on how bullshit that concept is) made into billion dollar movies which are generally considered above-average critically across the board. He sees this as the success of the little guy (Bob considers himself to be the little guy. This is irony) nerd culture against bad mainstream movies.

When a Marvel movie comes out and makes huge bucks and gets great reviews, Bob takes that as a personal win, because Marvel has attached it's brand to the nerd identity. "Fuck you, all the kids who bullied Bob Chipman" is the subtext he reads into every review. "Being a fat neckbeard asshole with no friends is cool now". This is also why he hates DC movies so much: every time a DC movie flops, its a personal attack, a critique of his terrible life choices.

Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell To Feet,” would describe Bob better.

No, Teddy Bear by A.A. Milne describes Bob best, illusions and all.

“A bear, however hard he tries,
Grows tubby without exercise.
Our Teddy Bear is short and fat,
Which is not to be wondered at;
He gets what exercise he can
By falling off the ottoman,
But generally seems to lack
The energy to clamber back.”

I thought he hated DC because it was for dude-bros for some fucking reason and the Blob transfered his pathetic childish grudge on that. Something something Christopher Nolan. Shit son, I don't even know why he has that thought regarding Nolan in the first place. Was it literally just for wanting to be a contrarian for not liking Inception or something?

I don't know and I'm glad I can't see his non-reasons here since you'd need Type XIII Diabetes to understand it.

Pretty sure he has a hateboner for The Dark Knight but I've never been entirely clear on why. I know some Breitbart spergs claimed it was a metaphor for and defense of Bush II policies during the War on Terror, but I can't imagine Bob agreeing with a Breitbart interpretation just out of sheer contrariness.

I don't know and I'm glad I can't see his non-reasons here since you'd need Type XIII Diabetes to understand it.

I know Rich Evans foaming at the mouth wasn't a dig at Bob, but I can dream.

Well, he likes films that he thinks reaffirm his beliefs. Mostly he likes stupid blockbusters though, and Mahvel are the capeshit he's allowed to like for now. When's the last time you heard him seriously discuss a classic film in the context of "one of my favorites" or something like that? Bob probably couldn't sit through half the selections on Turner Classic Movies.

Bob's taste run to the mainstream. In a different environment where his parents and the internet didn't tell him he were smart or special he'd be an asshole stereotype frat boy or some (obsolete) blue collar slob downing PBR after a day laying asphalt.
