So she went from inspiring female POC to filthy alt-right negress that fast in Bobby's eyes? Fucking lol. If this isn't an example of just how racist big city lolberalism is, nothing is.

As I said, 200 years ago white, upper-class Democrats attacked black Christians for their faith. Some things never change.

Hating a black person for her political opinions and her religion is not racism. He's not insulting her for her skin color, or saying she needs to be forcibly removed from the gene pool, or insinuating she's subhuman, or fantasizing about her and everyone like her dying painfully, or suggesting that her entire race is ignorant and uncultured. If he was doing those things he'd be racist.

Here's the issue I would agree if anyone else but with Film Robert I can't help but think the word "Uppity" enters his mind when these situations happens.

Comic book movies are the new Sistine Chapel.

View attachment 1758769

Only thing is, the Sistine Chapel was built as a place of worship to god (or at least the christian perception of god), which's been pretty much the same god since the roman empire, meanwhile the Avengers are an intellectual property created to cater on american exceptionalism fantasies to sell comics and licensed products, and they've changed a lot in it's few decades of existence as times changed and Marvel attempted to explore new markets.

Folklore and myths persist through generations for (mostly) two reasons:
1. Set examples to be followed and transmit values
2. Explain natural phenomenons inexplicable to them at the time
Meanwhile, the avengers were created to sell comics, and their "lore" changes as the market dictates. Isn't it sad when lots of people grow without an actual culture, but products and commodities that barely resemble a bastardized version of a folklore?

Interesting point. What exactly is the ethos of the MCU anyways? Teamwork? Unity? To do what? Punch bad people and sometimes each other. I can't say power corrupts seeing as how everyone in the MCU is superpowered in one form or another.

One of the core flaws of Endgame is that it doesn't actually refute Thanos's Malthusian argument when it actually could have. Stark has always been about using technology to overcome hard limits of biology and ecology. It should therefore follow that Stark's answer is ingenuity and imagination finds a way. As narratively unfocused and self-referential as the Time-heist was, it was a giant exercise in ingenuity and imagination beating out natural reality (the destruction of the prime universe's stones). What actually happens is they don't realize they've disproven Thanos's beliefs and simply punch him a lot.

Entertaining? Absolutely. Are these characters role models to be or not be? I guess I don't want to be Thanos because he's a raid boss now. I certainly didn't think Malthus was wrong because of this movie. Would I want to be Captain America? Because he gets a magic hammer now? If some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me and I declared myself a hero, they'd lock me away. Would I want to be Hawkeye? As that riot in Salt Lake City showed, I don't want to be the guy with a bow and arrow trying to stop a riot.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

As far as I know, this is how it's supposed to work (but I believe you're thinking of Trademarks). You can't have the same name in similar sectors due to possible confusion, but if it's different enough (music and video games) that isn't supposed to be a problem. You can't name your band "Nirvana", but you can probably open a Spa with that name.

However, Iron Maiden has fuck you amounts of money and can make people's lives a living hell through lawsuits. So unless someone is dead set in wanting to use the name "Iron Maiden", they'll change it because it's just not worth the financial trouble to bother challenging the band's lawyers in court. They sued some guy who had a comic named Iron and the Maiden back in 2009 despite literally nobody thinking the comic and the band were linked in any way.

Back to the topic of the thread, that Disney lineup is nauseating and literally nothing sounds good.

They sued the makers of Ion Maiden and made them change it to Ion Fury

Because Disney and their shareholders secretly agree with Malthus/Thanos?

I'll go in a gigantic tangent right now, but I need to do it: When did an american action movie is about proving the opposer wrong? For decades, all they do is further demonize whoever opposes the "good guys"; I rewatched Rambo 3 and 4 recently, and, while both are pro intervention flicks, at least in Rambo 3 the bad guys have a name, at least we know they're human, and we know their reasons to do what they do, but in Rambo 4 the bad guys don't even have names, they're just a bunch of Burman military killing farmers for fun, so that we'd cheer in excitement as Rambo multilates them with a .50 at the end; Rambo 4 is the epitome of american war propaganda in movies, while Avengers (and other Disney movies recently, SW included) are a softcore, family-friendly version of that: you can kill the baddies as long as they're nameless beasts/footsoldiers, only this time it's aliens and clones instead of asians and slavs.

> What actually happens is they don't realize they've disproven Thanos's beliefs and simply punch him a lot

Well, that's the point of superheroes in the first place, power fantasies about punching endlessly anyone symbolizing stuff opposing the "american way" (or whatever the consumers oppose); communists, economic rivals, etc. We're just living in the time of social justice being profitable, so now instead of villains embodying communism or undesired nationalities, they embody anti-progressiveness.

 

[Spunt]

However, it's still true that Iron Maiden are real fuckwads on this shit and their lawyers routinely threaten suit over utterly nonsensical things, and it makes the band themselves look like fuckwads.

It's because the band, particularly Steve Harris, ARE fuckwads. Southern England is littered with angry, bitter musicians, engineers, producers, songwriters, venues, promoters and more who have been screwed by Steve Harris and his lawyers over the decades.

Basically nobody outside their inner circle will work with them any more because Harris is such a notorious bully, and has the kind of Fuck You money to get away with basically anything. You can't move anywhere in the UK music industry without bumping into someone with a story of woe about how Steve Harris and his lawyers and money fucked them inside-out.

[Inshallah]

Imagine thinking fighting racism is giving shitty hand me down character attributes and symbolism instead of making something new and actully putting effort, lol.

"Uh, yeah, he's like, moon knight except call Half-Moon and he's black."

Black people don't get their own heroes, they can only get white people's hand-me-downs. And for some reason this state of affairs is lauded as making great progress in racial equality.

 

[Interplanetarypurplythorn]

Please God.

In fact, why not do us one better and make one of the actually well known bluechecks he simps for on Twitter call him out when he starts on his eugenics BS?

Bob: Everyone in those evil, evil flyover states oughta be gassed for being white, poor, stoopid, and for stealing my superior fyoocha that I earned!

Also Bob: How dare you tell someone to get a personality other than being a troon!

 

[BScCollateral]

I don't believe in making fun of people because they are ugly, but I should point out that Bob is a loathsome cone of flesh.

Most people deserve the benefit of a doubt you offer Film Robert. Film Robert does not.

Sure, but Infinity War invests a great deal of time making Thanos sympathetic only to totally renege it in Endgame. Before that, Civil War's novelty was heroes fighting each other. Marvel's general direction besides long-running soap operas (and making unsellable comic books) was making sympathetic characters. This contradiction is why "CONSUME" as JustStopDude is the best answer, because the MCU doesn't really qualify as mythology despite having the components for it.

That, and Rambo never pretended to be high-minded mythology in the first place.

 

[MirrorNoir]

Real missed opportunity that they made a female Iron Man character and didn't name her "Iron Maiden" (but then I'm guessing there would probably be copyright issues with the band of the same name and such).

Iron Maiden is already in use at Marvel. It's the name of a Russian super-villainess who fought Black Widow in the famous multi-part, George Perez drawn story in Marvel Fanfare that was the only thing of note/value Natasha did until she got made part of the movie Avengers and who later resurfaced in the 90s as part of the inner circle of a feminazi girl gang that gathered all of the super villainess of the Marvel Universe onto an island with the intent of sterilizing the rest of the women of the world to create a dark future where super-villainesses rule the planet and who attempted a non-consensual sex change onto Captain America.

Do you think he's going to last to his 50s? I know modern medicine has made leaps and bounds, but I can see him giving himself a heart attack if Wonder Woman beats out Black Widow at the box office despite the former also being available to stream.
