Speaking of the Sam Raimi trilogy, I keep getting this video in my recommendations.The psychology of Bob is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to this thread, and his obsession with pop culture is at the centre of it. The "Mario is God" comment in particular demonstrates how he has a fanatical devotion to it that easily matches or exceeds that of a religious zealot. Nature abhors a vacuum and in the absence of traditional religion he has devoted himself to a malformed fusion of Progressivist ideology and pop culture. It would not surprise me if he thought Mario was real in the most abstract sense as Greek pagans thought Zeus was real whenever they saw lightning. This line of thinking extends to other "icons" like Spider-Man, with Bob viewing the Sam Raimi version as a real entity on some visceral level instead of another iteration of a fictional character.
It's not just Bob, though. I have wasted time engaging people who venerate the Justice League animated series in a similar fashion to the point where they actively hate Hal Jordan and Barry Allen simply because they are not John Stewart or Wally West. Somehow they see one iteration as "real" instead of one of many throughout the decades. Then there are the millennials who make me ashamed to be a member of that generation because the fucking Harry Potter novels shaped their world view. Most of Bob's and their "thinking" goes to reinforcing their deepest-held beliefs rather than critical thinking or self-reflection.
fftopic: That video's been popping up in my recommendeds lately too and it sucks, it's some guy sperging about how camp and hammy acting is bad because it's not The Dark Knight and admits that his problems with it are mostly because he hated Tobey Maguire his whole life.
I wish YouTube could realize I'm only keeping up on cows like Bob to see how low he gets and not recommend me other hack film critics too.
I'm pretty sure he ripped that opening off from Redlettermedia. It sounds like one of their jokes, not Bob's.
I thought these had gone extinct in the wild, only living in captivity due to the fragility of their ecosystem

He's still pulling the "Obama and Hillary were just pretending to be against gay marriage to get votes" shit.The psychology of a sore loser.

Well China and the EU will vote on October 19. Since we’re in a trade war with China, it’ll be difficult for the merger to be approved by all regulators. This merger has to get approved by ALL regulators, including China.So we're two for four til Blobbo blows his pancake stack. All we need is that ol' Marvel/Fox cockblock and we'll be swimming in all that salt goodness. It would be oh so fucking delicious. Sure I would love to see a MCU Fantastic Four movie, but watching him having a meltdown is worth the price of admission alone.
Qualcomm is a shit company so they deserved it. Disney shouldn't be buying companies because they are edging closer and closer to a monopoly. Look what Nintendo did in the 80s, and look what Disney is doing now.Well China and the EU will vote on October 19. Since we’re in a trade war with China, it’ll be difficult for the merger to be approved by all regulators. This merger has to get approved by ALL regulators, including China.
This should be a issue for Bob to note because China killed Qualcomm’s $44 billion deal to buy NXP after spending two years ironing out the deal. I know he has a hard on for China but they could deny his dream to see Wolverine team up with Iron-Man. Though I imagine this would be a nightmare for both Disney and the Murdochs since they are creating New Fox. A rejection would bring disaster for both companies. Yes, there’s little revenue from China in Fox, but that doesn’t take away the fact that this could be a issue for both companies.
Here’s a article from NYT about how China could affect merger deal.

Sorry, I’m not aware of what Nintendo (Bob’s favorite company) did. Can you explain what Nintendo did in the 80s?Qualcomm is a shit company so they deserved it.

That’s more likely the case. I don’t think China and Disney don’t get along to well either.If China blocks it Bob will blame Trump for starting a trade war with China in the first place.
Here's an old article from GameSpy about that.Sorry, I’m not aware of what Nintendo (Bob’s favorite company) did. Can you explain what Nintendo did in the 80s?
