Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Smithfield Ham]

We're REALLY LUCKY that Bobert's psychopathy is only exceeded by his stupidity and incompetence.

We're very lucky that Bob is stupid, morbidly obese, incompetent, completely uncurious and uncreative and has no real ambition or motivation whatsoever. If he had any real power over anyone, he'd abuse them horrifically.

Mortal Kombat. Bobby is easily amused.

"Needs more quips, like Marvel!"

 

[Jetpack Himmler]

Rather than look inward, he always explodes outward.

And that's why he latched on to identity politics. Because he doesn't have to accept personal responsibility for his myriad failings, which is why he has tried to pass his eugenicist rants as edgy jokes in the past. Similarly, it allows him to rationalize his hatred on group and his desire to punish them denying him of what he sees as rightfully his. Bob would hanging from a noose or shot himself if he had the slightest inkling of how pathetic he truly is.

"Needs more quips, like Marvel!"

Didn't think about this. You're right. Despite all claims of sophisticated taste, he wants to watch the same goddamn movie every time.

"A Ghost Story endeavors to communicate ennui through minimal dialogue, but I'm yet to see a contemplative, emotional story succeed without undercutting the mood with pop culture references. The Avengers, 2012's overwhelming breakaway hit steamrolled the box office with references to sneaking a game of emulated Galaga on a work computer and referring to god (not capital 'G' God, whose existence continues to undermine ambitions of people who matter) turned mortal Thor as Point Break eases the labored aftermath of Et tu, brute Loki's sympathetic symbiotic-voluntary-involuntary coercion by forces more sinister than Jack Kirby's inspired Asgard's magic-by-way-of-science's cosmic city-state."

"I work in/around tech kinda" - Robert Chipman, 2021.

Bob thinks watching Chris over his shoulder while visiting daniece and danephew as lil bro works from home (Comp engineer?) counts as "working in/around tech kinda".

 

[glib]

That's his entire MO: punish others in varyingly severe ways because Bob doesn't like them. It's the attitude of a goddamned seven year old who bet all of their Pokemon cards on a battle and lost, only he gambled on making a great career and having a robot body and failed spectacularly. Rather than look inward, he always explodes outward.

He does not understand the gravity of the things he proposes or how ludicrous they are because he only sees those he hates as things that must be punished. It doesn't matter what kind of suffering it entails or how many are affected. All that matters is that he gets even on those that he thinks are responsible for denying him.

He hates successful people (more than him) who have different opinions and principles because he never left high school. See his writings on jocks.
He is a crab in a bucket all by himself, trying to bring down everyone around him who are staring into his bucket because "he was denied his future."
If Bob realized he wasn't entitled to anything, that we are all born into the world kicking and screaming to make our own way, he'd rethink his life.
But, he is so indoctrinated into the "Automated-Utopia" world view that he can't even tell that his "Anti-Nazi, but might as well be" Syncretic world view makes him look like a weirdo to the people he is hating on, appealing to, and sucking up to. All at once!

It also didn't help that Obamacare fundamentally didn't understand health insurance and then told it to people that also didn't understand health insurance. Without also telling people that universal healthcare is also a collective responsibility that requires everyone like Blobert to do jumping jacks. Which reminds me of a late King of the Hill episode about everyone prefers carbon offsets instead of doing the hard work of gardening. You can say the ending is unsatisfying dramatically, but it does accurately depict what people do when it comes to the environment. It's not the appreciation thread, but that show keeps finding ways of being relevant long past its air time.

Which is why I consider Avengers: Endgame a bad movie. It fails to address the dramatic question--the most basic part of storytelling--posed by Thanos. No character in the movie recognizes that their innovative thinking refutes Thanos on an ideological level. Their reaction is just to punch him a lot. Which also happens to reveal the storytelling limits of the MCU; whatever smart premise they have going has to inevitably end in punching.

Obamacare was the "half-measure" notion of politics in living form. Obama got elected in part by swearing up and down he was going to be the President that FINALLY fixed health care in America, after he watched Edwards kneecap Hillary Tonya Harding style in the early days of the primaries. So he HAD to do something, on the grounds that public sentiment was at the point that if they didn't now, it would be another 20 years before they could get a second chance.

But due to a wide variety of factors that are too numerous to mention, we ended up with "half-measure: the bill" which made NO ONE happy, caused WAY more collateral damage than it fixed, and fixed the barest of bare minimums that you couldn't just get rid of the entire thing without pissing off the people who benefited from those barest of bare minimums. Which ironically means that (again) it will be decades before someone tries to fix what Obamacare fucked up.

As for Infinity War/Endgame and Thanos; it should be noted that the motive holes for Thanos were due to them changing his motivation from "simp for the living manifestation of Death" to "Edgy Malthusian". They didn't bother to have people ask why Thanos didn't wish for more natural resources for the population of the universe, because they wanted Thanos to be a scary warlord not a pencil pushing Malthusian who only speechifies; so they didn't bother have anyone try and argue alternative and methods and just go straight to the notion that Thanos's ideas were so beyond the pale that no one could justify defending them combined with Thanos being so stubborn that he refused to see beyond his "kill half the universe" scenario to even entertain alternatives, due to him seeing Titan's destruction/inability to stop their own destruction via alternatives as proof that mass murder is the only solution.

As if he'd even have a foot to kick a person in the balls to begin with.

This sums up Obama's two terms pretty much perfectly. A series of half measures that pissed off both sides of the aisle (and all our external enemies and more importantly our allies). Your only missing how this debilitating inability to stick to his guns and always faltering to a middle ground half way through was portrayed by the Media as god's gift to man because of the color of his skin.

He was literally the Anti-Bush. Instead of obstinately sticking to a failing plan, he would never commit to anything.

Notice how the man has completely evaporated in only 5 years?

Slick Willie was a thing in pop culture for decades after his term, and was only shut down due to being a #MeToo problem..... if Hillary hadn't run in 2016, we'd STILL be hearing all about him.... because for better or worse, he was no waffler.

But in a bitter irony for him, Obama's determination from day one to have a perfect record as the first black President meant he had no stomach for anything that might harm that glorious reputation... if it weren't for the fact the press put up a barrier around him to make all criticism racism, he'd have been rated a huge flop for doing nothing despite having both houses and a docile electorate. And he didn't do squat. His greatest leagacy of Obamacare was undone within 2 years of him leaving office, he was a non-factor on the 2020 and 2016 campaign trails and has disappeared into the same black hole that Hillary went into - showing up before church potluck - tier crowds to whine about how they got cheated out of their legacy as the bestest ever and it wasn't their fault!

This being the only thing they can discuss, as they have no achievements, they didn't' like the idea of risking that legacy by making those tough choices, so they didn't.

The only thing worse than making bad choices, is to have made no choices at all.

The whole Thanos thing was the main sore spot of the MCU, how could they link a cosmic villain who achieved omnipotence get in a fight with a guy who throws a shield around.

Awnser, they couldn't, and whatever made the Infinity Gauntlet comic storyline fun, it was lost in the movies, that at this point don't even pretend to have anything to do with the comics besides easter eggs for the retards like Robert.

Not to mention the whole population control was a laughable excuse for a villain motivation, more so a villain that has not only acesss to magic space tech, but god powers, and worse, the movies never tried to even show how the overpopulation is destroying the universe besides one planet that was destroyed long, long ago (how!?)

In the original story, the earth heros are nothing more than fodder, to buy time so Adam Warlock can figure a way to get to the gauntlet, and by half way of the story, all the heroes are pretty much gone, and the whole thing becomes a colossal clash between the cosmic entities of the Marvel universe (like Galactus and the living tribunal) and Thanos.

Props where they are due, the MCU pulled something unique in cinema, a decade long on going storyline, that ain't something easy to do, and even if the ending ain't that great (time travel will always muddy you story) and Thanos seems to not quite fit as the ultimate final enemy, in the end we were all on board to see the closure, and closure is what we got.

Said that, after end game, I haven't seen a single capeshit thing since (except 1 episode of wandavision), and I'm glad to be done. As much as i liked the movies, something was lost from the comics. I'm not that much of a dumbass to say that capeshit comics have much value besides cheap entretainment, but a lot of what made comics fun for me was getting lost in the adaptaions and now I just don't see the point, not when I could do anything else.

When I heard the line "To challenge you, is to court Death." that made my inner comic fanboy go "Weeeeee!" And we might get some snarky line from Stark about being a simp. But instead, Thanos is a twisted environmentalist. I wanted the simp who killed off the universe just to get Death to holler at him. Ironically, the comic book Thanos was actually relatable.

 

[blablabla]

the mk comment still pisses me of
the mk story is about how warlocks from hell want to steal every soul on the planet and a group of people learn to trust in themselves and others to defend earth.
and what does this fucking mongoloid want to see? whedonesque dialog and mcu funneh things

his im in tech comment is product of his legit insane mind but the mk think he is just...so...fucking....dumb

Probably some buzzfeed/vice article linking Crypto to gamergate, or any "bro" culture, and now its lodged forever in Robert's smoothbrain.

Once it is declared something to be "against" his side, Robert will NEVER let it go, no matter how little sense it makes.

He doesn't understand it and anything that makes him feel dumb is automatically the enemy.

Which is why he hates Christopher Nolan and loves the MCU.

Short answer: Crypto-Currency is associated with the right and Bob hates anything associated with the right

Long answer: like a lot of people, Bob didn't get in on crypto at the start and is butt-hurt over people talking about making mad money on Crypto. And because he can't exploit/take advantage of it, he wants it destroyed so no one else can make money off of it.
