I feel like this really goes to show how performative all of Blobbo's pretenses at being a pop culture expert are. To give a better example, the basic premise behind G Gundam is that in the future, nations resolve conflicts through Gundam fights. Not only does that series fit better with this idea (replacing war and other means of international disputes with a martial arts tournament; every single country is represented, leading to memorable Gundams like the Nether Gundam (a giant windmill) and the Tequila Gundam (self-explanatory); satisfies Bobby's giant robot fetish), he literally just talked about this same exact series just a couple weeks ago, except all he did was go "durr big robot horse." So the truth is that he doesn't know shit about G Gundam besides memes and jumped to some other "world martial arts tournament" thing instead, one that makes even less sense for this drunken ramble of an idea.

In fairness, more people presumably know about Street Fighter than G Gundam, so going with something that more people can understand might work better. But still, you'd think that someone with such a hard-on for giant robot fights would gravitate towards the latter. Guess not.

People should be passing this street fighter Olympics tweet around just as much as the genocide tweet whenever there is a danger that someone could be making the mistake that Bob should be considered a serious person with adult ideas

Ditto all those art college retards who cried over David Bowie. The only album they could name was "the one where he's got a lightning bolt on his face"

See also: Whenever a celebrity an heroes and they use it as a springboard to virtue signal about how invested they are in suicide prevention and mental health despite never mentioning these topics until there was an exploitable hashtag.

I never realised just how many lifelong Linkin Park and Soundgarden fans I had on Facebook until their respective singers necked themselves; then all of a sudden they were "such a huge influence on me growing up, and why yes 'Black Hole Sun' is my favourite track however did you guess??"

It seems Bob's desire to live vicariously through successful people goes back a long ways.

Well in his Raimi Spider-Man review he said that when he heard Raimi was directing he thought Raimi wasn't suppose to be the guy who gets to direct Spider-Man because "He was one of us".

Even as a late teen/early twentysomething he was delusional enough to consider himself the same as Raimi who had already done the Evil Dead films and Dark Man to name some highlights by that time.

 

[Flexo]

In fairness, the punch-ups between #blacktwitter and actual African twitter are informative, and a fair few American blacks seem to have gotten the message- "they sold us, my dude."

Oh I have got to see that someday. Drop me examples in a DM anytime.

Luke may live up the "out of touch" part of his handle, but his observation that they couldn't openly market Revelations as "The Teela Show" was surprisingly on point. He-Man is the face of the franchise and people with minimal exposure to the franchise--such as myself--have no idea of who the hell Teela is so we'd pass on it. Similarly, the He-Man diehards will walk away because they want the hero they watched as children for that nice nostalgia hit. Hence, the bait and switch. What Luke fails to understand because of his gyrii-deficient brain is that deconstructionism is an exhausted cliche at this point. It is boring as fuck and it doesn't take a genius to take something apart--it takes a skilled storyteller to take the parts, understand how they work, and reconstruct it. Unfortunately, Hollywood is filled with hack writers with high opinions of themselves. They need to infiltrate beloved franchises and turn them into trojan horses for their ideologies because studio execs are notoriously risk adverse. That is why we had witnessed the downfall of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who.

Unlike Bob, fans don't have to be pay pigs and can instead simply refuse to give their money or time to people who have nothing but contempt for them. The only loser to come out of this is Mattel as the only bankable franchises they have are Barbie and MOTU. Barbie is faltering and Revelations may damage the MOTU brand because of Kevin Smith's tantrums. They have lost the DC and Disney Princesses licenses so they are in dire need of money right now. Smith already cashed his cheque. Netflix is (for the moment) still getting its money in subscription fees so it's Mattel who stands to lose the most here. What if Revelation tanks toy sales after the "toxic" fans decide to walk away? It's hilarious that Bob and Luke believe they have their finger on the pulse of Hollywood because it is a shambling corpse.

Posted in the Star Wars thread. Still relevant here.

Deconstructionism and subversion of expectations doesn't work on franchises like Star Wars and He-Man because they were always intended to be escapist in nature because the viewer wants to lose themselves in the wave of endorphins. Bob wants to believe that he is more intelligent than he truly is and embraces deconstruction as long as it doesn't affect something he loves. I doubt he would as readily embrace the concept if Nintendo decided to deconstruct Mario and transform him into an addict whose adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom were a drug-fueled hallucination, and he was in fact running through the alleyways of New York stomping on rats and pigeons.

It probably also doesn't help that MotU had already been deconstructed in the comics with things like Orko being the big bad (dc/MotU crossover) to an outright post Hordak invasion apocalypse in the main comic.

As the videos point out above, you can't shit on the original and then ask the fans of said original to support you.

What film was he crying about when this picture was taken? He had more integrity when was a land whale.

Captain Marvel of all fucking things.

What is with this nonsense of "We are of the same generation/have similar taste, so we're basically the same and his successes are my successes"?

Is this the human desire of wanting to belong to something greater than yourself manifesting in Bob in alternative ways because he gave up on religion?

People forget that Bob knows he's a piece of shit eternal loser with no prospects, so one of his coping mechanisms besides projection is to vicariously live through what I call his Psychological Pins. To him, their triumphs are his, and their failures are his, though he can't accept the latter due to his hideous brain problems.

It was a method he came up with because Bob would've killed himself otherwise.

If Bobert wants real success than he claims to be a Star Trek TOS fan so he needs to heed William Shatner's Advice.

You know what, you're absolutely right. I never considered that before. It's team sports to him.

Here's a relevant quote about Pats fans:

It's really a scourge too because you have all these shitheads who never left their own hometowns and who really ought to be thinking about self-betterment or at the VERY LEAST coming to the realization that they're worthless just straight sitting on top of the fucking world. Like life is just perfect when you set aside those two divorces and looming foreclosure, tie on a nice 7-beer buzz at 8am and swerve down Route 1 to Patriot Place!

 

[John Andrews Stan]

Bob’s life just seems very empty. If he didn’t have his anger, he wouldn’t have anything. Twitter gives him a reason to wake up. It’s depressing tbh.

 

[Grumpy Pickle Rick]

I have a question, guys.

Why can’t losers like Bob accept their place in the world?

I see people like Bob on the internet posting shit and bragging about themselves saying stupid shit, and for what?

What are they trying to accomplish?

Nothing amazing is ever going to happen to them. They’re never going to be famous or attractive. They’re not going to attain power and status.

What’s the point?

 

[Woe-B-Gon (TM)]

I have a question, guys.

Why can’t losers like Bob accept their place in the world?

You cannot accept what you cannot understand.

I see people like Bob on the internet posting shit and bragging about themselves saying stuff like, “I’m the most beautiful girl in world and all the boys love me.” Or, “I’m better writer than JK Rowling, my OCs and ideas are best things ever.”

Stupid is as stupid does.

The point is, that they do stupid shit, and I can’t help but wonder why are they doing this?

If it looks stupid, and it walks stupid, and it does stupid shit, it's probably stupid.

I mean, what do they get out of this? Nothing amazing is ever going to happen to them. They’re never going to be famous or attractive. They’re not going to attain power and status. So why are they wasting their time?

Dammit, I'm out of aphorisms and proverbs. Uhhhh.... The lolcow who has self-awareness is no lolcow at all.

It makes no sense.

You might need to advance your theory of mind a bit until it can conceptualize people who are so soul-blightingly moronic that they are sure they aren't.

Thanks for the words of wisdom.

But in all seriousness, why do they even try? I know some of these people are autistic and stupid but still it’s mind-boggling to me.

What is with this nonsense of "We are of the same generation/have similar taste, so we're basically the same and his successes are my successes"?

I never understood that. Every time I see someone successful from 1989 it's depressing because that could have been me or whatever.

 

[RainwaterDrop]

Why do idiots like Bob pick fights with people stronger and smarter than them?

If Blobert stopped and decided to act like a mature, reasonable adult for some minutes his twitter would be a ghost town.

I never understood that. Every time I see someone successful from 1989 it's depressing because that could have been me or whatever.

There are whole subsects of fiction dedicated to answer that very question, "What could have been?", it's a human thing that some people exacerbate when pondering about their own failures, naturally even worse in narcissists and other egomaniacs!

 

[Godzilla@1989]

Captain Marvel of all fucking things.

He must have found a strike in his heart watching Brie Larson’s flat ass.

 

[JayHarrison]

The more Bob posts those pop culture reference ideas of his, the more I want to punch him in the face.

Why do idiots like Bob pick fights with people stronger and smarter than them?

Bob can't help it. I'm of the opinion that if Moviebob did accept an invitation to a political debate--the odds of which hover microscopically over zero--there's gonna be a curb stomin'. The only question is that, if Bob ever does accept such an invitation, whose boots are we gonna have to clean (what passes for) Moviebob's brain from?

 

[BubbleButt]

Why do idiots like Bob pick fights with people stronger and smarter than them?

Because Bob incorrectly believes that his punching weight is without peer.

 

[Laughingjoke2]

It dawned on me that with a few minor edits this fits Bobert pretty well.

Original Why Quagmire hates Brain

Okay, I'll tell you. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife. The man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing. You always say, "Oh, I'll get you later" but "later" never comes. And what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh grade interpretation of how Holden Caulfield is some profound, intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much...he's you! God, you're pretentious! And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer, even though you're terrible! You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She would have known there's no "a" in the word "definite." And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda, how we should "legalize pot, man," how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have you done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen you down there! You wanna help? Grab a ladle! And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh, wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter, because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father! How's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that, all of it, if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic bore.

The Film Robert Edit

Okay, I'll tell you. You are the worst person I know. You're such a societal sponge. You pay for nothing your patreons technically do that. Also what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is lust after bimbos. Yeah, we all lust after women for their bodies but at least we're honest about it unlike you male feminist. We don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh grade interpretation of how Holden Caulfield is some profound, intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much...he's you! God, you're pretentious! And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer, even though you're terrible! You know, I should have known Lindsay Ellis (Why not make it her to pour salt in the Bobert wound) didn't write me that note. She would have known there's no "a" in the word "definite." And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda, how we should "legalize pot, man," how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have you done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen, Bobert. Never seen you down there! You wanna help? Grab a ladle! And by the way, driving the virtual signaling Troon Pride car doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh, wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter, because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed the Escapist twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a son! But you know what? I could forgive all of that, all of it, if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Bobert. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic bore.

I know this one. A lot of generations have been living in the shadow of boomers. Gen Xers I feel have gotten the worst of it, and they know it. Probably because they were supposed to inherit it directly from the boomers and it didn't happen.

This has given them a strange chip on their shoulder. And weirdly a sense of togetherness. I can't quite place my finger on anything. But, I just feel Gen X has always been more of a group, even as long as I remember. Possibly the marketing.

But this is why Bob aligns himself to Gen X. And they always take their wins from anyone even that loosely aligned to themselves.
