Honestly, I'd say the point of a superhero movie is to make a film where some cool stuff happens, simple enough for children to follow and cram a wholesome moral/message in there somewhere near the end of it. Now that I've thought about that question, I understand completely why Robert is so fucking horny for the things
looks like Covid only gave the world a year or two of peace, because Phase Four (no that doesn't sound ominous at all) is coming:
I mean I disagree since it's too early to tell how much of a cultural significance the MCU has had but it still has contributed to our culture as it made Superheroes more maintstream than ever and has influenced other studios in starting a connective universe over a series of movies. It even made having post-credits scene a mainstream thing that people have to wonder if each new movie has one. The MCU is impactful in terms of movies and superheroes overall and has made superhero properties more socially acceptable compared to when it was a niche genre. There were even some quotes that people still spout out to this day.
Eugenics Bob strikes again!
Bob inadvertently makes the case for both the filibuster and electoral college as his obsession with wielding political power as cudgel against those he hates demonstrates the need for check and balance. I will give Joe Manchin credit for one thing: he is smart enough to see where the wind is blowing.
It's only my opinion but I would say that 1978's Superman was the closest to achieve that as the biblical tales of Moses and Samson greatly influenced the character. I hesitate to add in Jesus because Siegel and Shuster were two Jewish boys from Cleveland.
If these people think you need to act like the guys at that infamous DSA meeting to be a proper leftist, wait until they find out how homosexuality and abortion were treated in Communist Romania.

Oh holy fuck this makes me actually MATI. The Franchise hasnt been an action comedy since like 1987. The first death of Krillin really kind of nails in that Dragon Ball is a soap opera for little boys. And I have no goddamn idea what that Japanese Cultural Idiosyncracies fucking means. Like even the actual definition. Its gibberish. But even in terms of Dragon Ball it makes no sense.Synder:
That was original idea. Heroes in general used to be about inspiring people to accomplish great things themselves. But in today’s world, you have people like Bob who are egotistical and superficial and don’t care about bettering themselves.
Exactly.
You know, why is it always nerdy/dorky failures that gotta live their lives through fiction? Cartoon characters, anime characters, video game characters, etc.
Idiosyncrasies means a person of peculiar behavior, or in other words; a freak, a fetish, an oddity, etc.
I never heard of this game but I love this quote. I definitely agree with this.
I see we're busy stealing ideas from other movies, so much for your own "big-brained movie pitches" you rotten piece of bacon and ham.
He likes it because it embraces/embodies the campy 60s TV Batman, which he loves because it spites the grimdark bro fans of later Batman.
I don't think he even watched original DB, because he used to scoff at the idea of making that a movie and was insistent Hollywood should just jump straight to Z. As in the one he thinks of as a superhero series (not kidding)
It might be the other way around. He's always loved superheroes being bright and colorful, part of the reason he prefers Sam Raimis Spiderman. So the Schumacher Batmans were his favorite as a teen and he likes to use Adam West as an excuse for why they're better.
I still have this part of my brain that either made this up or heard this somewhere, where the planned Stage 5 cancer, I mean MCU, is where it turns into a big slap fight between Charles and Erik over Franklin Richards, who is clearly not Richard's child. Like, they have a bootleg Namor in the style of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, he's a kang, and he cucks Reed.
Yeah, that makes sense. Bob always loved colourful bingbingwahoo style entertainment, and the bros disliking it probably makes him more secure in that love since he always thinks "If the bad people hate you for something, you must be doing it right".
Z is definitely more his speed. The fights just become mindless pummelings filled to the brim with energy blasts. The Budokai Budokai Tenkaichi tournaments of the original DB at least had a good amount of actual martial arts fighting, strategy, and only used energy attacks sparingly until the Goku vs. Piccolo bout. They don't have the feeling of a big superhero throwdown at all so that would explain why he isn't that into them despite the fact that any competent studio could easily do a movie based around one of the tournaments.
Part of the reason, I got bored with Z and others is because of all the power ups, screaming and corny dialogue. I prefer the original.
Nothing in that first tweet sounds remotely interesting but I was never a Namor fan so maybe its actually mind-blowing.MCU bullshit:
Fucking where retard? Tada what? It's insane how troons with obvious mental illness can make these bizarre accusations and people just lap it up.Today's Bobby's Angels we have a very special cameo: Jake Alley!
Who the fuck is "embargo-ing" Bob? He doesn't work for The Escapist anymore; he's his own thing now. Or is there some form of contract-understanding between Bob (as well as other critics/reviewers) and the media that put out these things for Bob to consoom and review, where he can't say certain things before a certain appointed date and time because spoilers and shit and if he spills the beans too early they won't tell him shit ever again?
