Wow, creators are listening to what their customers want and are adapting their products to fit that?
What a fucking nightmare.

I mean, you got to give the producers some credit for not bashing the fans like blobby would have liked.
Why would Godzilla interact with MovieBob in the first place?

Still continuing to lack the understanding of the electoral college.

Bob continues to use this Red State Votes Count More bullshit but I've never seen anyone worth a damn prove it.
This is just more garbage he believes is true because someone he likes said something once.

I mean, California has 55 electoral votes.
Every time Bob brings up the electoral college, I will bring up that he’s only calling to abolish it because he didn’t get his way in 2016.

I like how he's trying to play fair when in the past when he's done these rants, he specifically mentions some kind of eternal Dem utopia around the corner based on population. Guess he does learn....at least in the sense that he's trying to catch flies with honey instead of vinegar for once.

Obviously someone smarter than Bob (not hard) and with more Social Justice status than Bob (again, not hard) told him that he was making them look bad and told him what to say instead. If left to his own devices, he won't learn anything, at least not anymore.

You know, I hadn’t seen Guardians 2 before the whole James Gunn fiasco, but I just saw it recently and honestly, that movie is kind of terrible. If I were Disney, I wouldn’t have rehired Gunn to do a third movie at all.
Yeah, the first one was fun, but if the sequel is anything to go off of, the guy is out of ideas.
Sorry for the double the post, but this is necessary.
Yuji Naka blowing Bob the fuck out. Too bad Miyamoto will never care about him or address him in this way.

I kinda liked Guardians 2, though I will agree if compared to the first it's def much weaker in regard of memorable moments. I dunno about the 3rd, maybe Gunn will do something maybe not, but when it comes to being out of ideas I'd say you might be on the mark since there's another movie coming out, but the premise is "Hey, what if Superman never became ahero but instead he was this psychotic kid who killed everyone who was mean to him."

I guess the first problem is that what made audiences love the first one was how fresh it felt. It was a comedic sci-fi that needed no prior knowledge of the MCU at that point to fully enjoy and it was loaded with 70’s nostalgia with the soundtrack filled with time tested boppers we all know and love. It felt like a true love letter to the past and to an obscure comic series that never caught on in the mainstream.
2 just felt tone def. It didn’t have that love letter feeling, the guardians were no longer obscure by any definition, it had a lot of call back jokes, Baby Groot seemed solely their to sell toys, and the soundtrack, while still filled with excellent nostalgic boppers, wasn’t as tailor selected. The songs in the first one both felt like a real mix tape someone would make and fit in wonderfully with the actual movie. Who can argue that “Come and Get Your Love” wasn’t masterfully used to set the playful mood in the beginning after an extreme downer?
Meanwhile, “Mr. Blue Sky” didn’t fit the opening scene at all, and was instead used for 4 minutes of dancing baby Groot while you miss the entire action going on in the background. One might consider that a fun scene, but I found it to be almost cynical. And if it set the tone for anything, it was to tell the audience that they would be missing out on everything the liked about the first in favor of a more standard cookie cutter marvel film.

The MCU version of the Guardians are pretty poor adaptations and might as well be original characters. I can only imagine the mood whiplash if someone liked the "band of quirky losers" and decided to check out the comic version who have a more serious origin. Some like Drax just share a name and design similarities but nothing else in common.
That doesn't make the 2 movies bad on their own, I only mean they're a poor showing of the source material and mostly just have the "Whoa, never heard of them? So wacky" the MCU Guardians seem designed around instead. They're based around the novelty rather than the source material.
But to bring this back to Bob, if I remember right, he mostly likes the GotG movies because 2 reminds him of issues with he has with his father and so he places extra value on it. Might've been the last movie they saw together too but I don't remember.

Yeah, I read a few of them after UMVC3 came out to learn who rocket raccoon was, not really my type of comic.
And if that’s the real reason, then does that mean Bob is going with sentimental value rather than critical analysis?! I thought he was the genius film critic we should all love and pray to!

California grows 11 percent of the food in America by value. Iowa grows 8 percent despite being far smaller. If California grew 51 percent of the food and every state were dependent upon it, then maybe Blob would have a point. As it is, it only "keeps us fed" at a 3 percent margin higher than the next state on the list, and combined, the Midwest states produce far more food than his Commiefornia utopia. It also doesn't have to drain the Colorado River dry in order to do it.
As for his "Blue States pay more Fed taxes than Red states," that tends to happen since people in Blue states are much richer on average and thus, pay more taxes. To quote the Federalist:
"...Although federal funds make up a larger percentage of red states’ state budgets, the budgets in those states are generally lower overall than those of the free-spending blue states. If, instead of comparing federal funds to state budgets, we look at how much the federal government spends in intergovernmental grants per resident of a state, the results are turned on their heads ...Against a national average of $1,935 in intergovernmental spending per American, red states receive just $1,879. Blue states get considerably more, at $2,124 per resident. Purple states see the least of their money returned to them per capita, at just $1,770. Measured in this way, the blue states are getting quite a bit more than the red or purple. "
Red states tend to have military bases, which are also huge money sinks as well.
As for the electoral college, I quote Tara Ross' book, “The Indispensable Electoral College: How the Founders’ Plan Saves Our Country from Mob Rule” (Regnery Gateway, 2017).
"The delegates were discussing separation of powers. Slavery was not their focus. Indeed, the debates about the presidential election process never focused on slavery. Instead, the delegates discussed whether legislative selection or a national popular vote was preferable. The division was between large and small states, not between slave and free states.
Some of the larger states had slaves, some did not. Some of the smaller states had slaves, some did not. All of the small states, however—slave and free—were worried about the dangers of a simple national popular vote. As slavery opponent Gunning Bedford of Delaware had said so eloquently, the small states simply feared that they would be outvoted by the large states time and time again.
The Electoral College had everything to do with balancing power between large and small states in America’s new experiment in self-governance. It had nothing to do with slavery. What an inconvenient truth for those who would like to eliminate the system."
It's possible that Bob might have expressed doubt about the Electoral College if Hillary had won (given how badly Al Gore had been screwed by it in the 2000 election,) but his present day hostility to it has far more to do with it helping nerf Californias' votes and less to do with its quality and effectiveness overall.
