Its a reference to the first blade runner but its confusing because it wasnt a metronome in that scene. I wonder if bob even knows what a metronome is....

So, he's calling the other person a Replicant...a machine that's far more advanced than humans while also managing to blend in with them.

Sharp as a marble, Bob.

Bob missing the entire point of Blade Runner would not be unexpected.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

Bob missing the entire point of Blade Runner would not be unexpected.

Considering the fact that he is unable to grasp relatively easier concepts like Predator, he likely wouldn't be able to understand the point of Blade Runner even if a "for-idiots" breakdown was given to him by Mario himself.

I know I'm a little bit :late: but if Bob actually ends going through with his "Golden Age of Marvel Studios" narrative solely because Gunn got fired...Well that would just be the most Bob thing ever.
Abandoning a series that he proclaims to love more than pretty much anything else for no other reason than his retarded politics and social circle demand it.
It really raises the question of whether anything is truly sacred to Bob.
Like do you think he would drop Mario if thats what was needed to stay in the cool kids crowd?
What about if Hillary or Globalism became "problematic"?
I mean no one ever accused Bob of having principles or standards but even for him this is a new level of pathetic.

Nothing big ever came out of it but he wrote it off as a joke when he heard about people complaining about the Mexican themed costume in Mario Odyssey so I assume denial is the main option with Mario.

Yeah but....what if we had to only remember have one country and we had some kind of singular culture like sci-fi planets that are more like really big towns? I bet you didn't know that is the 100% natural and only path for civilization.

Jesus Christ, Bob wants to turn the Earth into Ravnica.

What Bob wants and what the results are going to be are two completely different things. What he wants is only possible in the realms of fiction, while the results wouldn't look that far away from a set that Kamelot might use for a music video (specifically, Liar Liar, Insomnia, Phantom Divine, and Amnesiac. Makes sense, considering all four songs are part of the same story).

I was thinking more of Couruscant.

 

[Speedwagon]

You're both right, technically, since it looks like he wants Middle America to turn into Zendikar and the coastline into Couruscant.

I see him wanting Middle America to turn into the world of Mad Max given his hostility towards it.

 

[LaughingJoke]

Jesus H. Christ can Bob's fatass get off twitter and pick up a history book or even just watch a YouTube video on history? Then he'll fucking learn major Metropolitan cities need the farmlands more than the farmlands need the Metropolitan cities even going back to Rome which couldn't feed it's citizens without the Egyptian bread basket.

 

[Krokodil Overdose]

Jesus Christ, Bob wants to turn the Earth into Ravnica.

A Ravnica that's had everyone who's not the Azorius and the Izzet purged. (Boros, Gruul and Rakdos are dudebros, Golgari and Selesnaya are mayonnaise ghouls clinging to the past, Simic are the wrong kind of science, the Orzhov are UGH RELIGION, and the big objection to the Dimir is that they work for themselves, not the Azorius.)

In fairness, though, growing wheat on the moon is something that Izzet might try (and possibly succeed at.)

 

[Cleric of Autism]

So how will Bob's brain attempt to rewrite his hatred of DC after this?

Judge Dredd megacities on the coasts, Mad Max wastes in the middle. Which if I'm not mistaken is pretty much the Dredd formula anyway.

 

[Done]

"People are losing their jobs and that's bad. Also I want robots to replace everyone."

This cap pretty much encapsulates how Bob thinks of others, he never empathizes with anyone unless he knows for sure that they lived the exact same circumstances he did.

Case in point: His (Correct) empathy for retail employees getting replaced by machinery comes because he was once a retail employee himself.

But because he wasn't a farmer or a factory worker, he can't ever empathize with any of those categories of people, the thought doesn't even enter his mind!

(Nevermind that a lot of them may indeed be LGBT or PoC or Muslims or whatever subsegment of society he rallies for.)

If that doesn't convince you that he has autism, take a look at the below quoted explanation of his Turtle/Metronome-based "insult". I've seen Blade Runner pretty recently and I still couldn't parse what he meant. That's autism for you.

Guys, it's a reference to Blade Runner. He's calling the other dude a replicant which you have to wonder how that is an insult given Bob's view on machines replacing people.

 

[BScCollateral]

What makes the Blade Runner thing super-adorable is that he has so little empathy he imagines he has more than someone else.

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Like many arm-chair psychologists, it would not surprise me if Bob has Narcissistic Personality Disorder from the symptoms listed in the DSM-V.

Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from other people

Needing continual admiration from others

Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions

Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others

I group these four together because Bob seriously believes that being a pop-culture critic entitles him to respect and admiration. Heaven help you if you do not kiss his ass because he will treat you with sneering contempt. Similarly, he believes that his political beliefs, particularly that of globalism, make him part of an intellectual elite and seeks validation of his "in-group." The ugly truth is that he has a low-quality degree with an extremely feeble knowledge of what he purports to have insight into. His supposed in-group barely acknowledge him and his influence does not extend past the sycophants her surrounds himself with.

Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.

This should be self-evident by Bob's unwavering belief in his Superior Future™ where the Moon will become the breadbasket of the Solar System and magical Mexicans will create an automated leisure society for Bob.

Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain

I cannot think of any specific examples, though I would hate to be related to this emotional lamprey.

Unwilling to empathize with the feelings, wishes, and needs of other people

Look at Bob's total lack of empathy for denizens of non-coastal states.

Intensely envious of others, and the belief that others are equally envious of them

Bob's interactions with Ethan Van Sciver come to mind. He is more successful than Bob and more successful than Bob will ever hope to achieve. He has to be deeply envious on a visceral level and his complete dismissal of Ethan's extremely successful crowdfunding campaign and his insinuation that Ethan is a "washed-up artist" that DC fired (not true, according Ethan and I have more reason to believe him than Bob) is a manifestation of it. When you look at Bob's belief in "Thinkers vs. Believers" and how Thinkers build things, what has Bob built or created? Ethan is one of the obsolete wasteland ghouls he hates so much and "built" much more than he ever will. He helped make Green Lantern a franchise with Geoff Johns and worked on countless DC titles as well as his own creator-owned title. Bob writes reviews that barely anyone will give a shit about a year from now and poorly-researched commentary when he's not ranting on Twitter.

It must really bruise Bob's ego so he has to assuage the butthurt with the belief that people are envious of him. HA! I'd rather be like Ethan than him.

Pompous and arrogant demeanor

'Nuff said.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

So I'm suggesting that we should have a new poll for this thread. I tried to make this funny and amusing.

Here's my recommendation. I pitched this to @neural in a private message a while ago:

If Bob eve came across Trump, what would he do?

• Call him and his supporters mediocre white men and wasteland obsolete ghouls that are holding America back from the Superior Future.
• Accuse him of getting James Gunn fired from directing Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
• Sperg about how he prevented Hillary and the Democrats from installing a full liberal Supreme Court and government that gives him free shit and censors people he doesn't like politically.
• Make him sign executive orders that benefit him and put farmers on the moon to grow moon wheat.
• Try to fight him in his Mario costume while imaging Trump as Bowser.
• Preach how SJWs are the true American patriots and how Trump and his conservative ilk are scared of the future they can't compete in.
• Try to creep on Melania Trump while he pictures her as Princess Peach.
• Islamic Content (be specific).

I hope this is a good recommendation. A bit autistic, but useful hopefully.

Bob is all bark and no note. He's sneer at trump whenever his back was turned but would never even come close to physically or verbally confronting him. The only way that would happen is if Trump came across some of his tweets and they got into a Twitter smackdown.

Oh god a Bob and Trump twitter fight would be great.
