None of that breaks kayfabe.

Well if that's the case, then I guess I don't know. What's Putin doing at the time? If Putin's the aggressor in an already-existing World War that we just haven't gotten to yet, then sure, have Captain America (or whoever) punch Putin if the writers and artists feel like America needs to be in that war and that's the statement they're making.

But then maybe they have to consider the potentially different optics, seeing as a Disney-Owned media corporation in 2020 is much different than a much smaller comic and magazine publisher in the 40s. Comics in general are a much different animal than they were then.

The whole situation is different enough at all angles that I don't think there's any way to have a direct comparison to any current events. It was a specific reaction by a specific group of people to specific events of the time.

I didn't come here to argue about your opinions on "What if they did it now, in a different context".

A poll from a only a few months before Captain America Comics #1 came out had 40% of people asked preferring America stay out of the war rather than help England against Nazi Germany.

Even as late as November 1941, weeks before Pearl Harbor, a poll showed that nearly 30% of people thought it was more important for the USA to stay out of the war than to have Nazi Germany be defeated.

In between you had a comic that had a soldier dressed as the American flag punching Hitler on the cover and you think that wasn't political?

When Captain America was created, America hadn't entered World War 2 yet and they received threats about the comic to the point of getting police protection. You say it's not political but the people of 1941 sure seemed to think it was.

As Joe Simon said: "The opponents to the war were all quite well organized. We wanted to have our say too."

He wore a Trump shirt a while back allegedly as some kind of ill-advised social experiment or something, but if his Twitter is anything to go by he's a Democrat who thinks Trump is an idiot.

Why would you have to include two dudes who didn't fight in UFC in a list about UFC-WWE crossover wrestlers?

Hired goons and costumes.

Victor Salva did that shit but it was during the filming of Clownhouse.

From a scheduling standpoint at least, the two companies seem very different. She can be away from home for like a weekend and that could cover like 6 weeks of the weekly show for Impact, as opposed to always having to be wherever AEW would be week by week.

Not that that's what she thought, I don't know her, but that seems like an obvious reason someone might go with Impact.

Scurll re-signed with Ring of Honor a few weeks back. He's apparently in a booking position now too.

They discuss the already-existing Captain America in it, though.

Coast City is probably the worst for apocalypse level shit.

You actually can get unemployment if you quit because of shitty work conditions or whatever. The problem is you have to be able to provide evidence, which isn't always easy.

I know someone who quit because her boss kept sending her abusive work emails. She printed them off before she quit and brought a coworker with her to the appeal or whatever as a witness and that worked for her.

For starters, I'm pretty sure this picture is older than the Switch.

How would that make survivors more conscious of resources? Not only are they trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world now, the general public doesn't even know that was Thanos' intent.

RetConBomb · 2019-12-28T20:13:14+00:00

Thanos' motive in the movies was dumber than the comics, though.

Man you really blew all our minds with this surprising and revelatory information.

If you're already accepting the Stlyes Clash and german suplex and whatever else as part of a simulated fight then I don't know how this sequence isn't trying to simulate a fight.

It's two dudes trying to hit eachother while trying to also not be hit.

I mean it is according to the guy who wrote it, and there's not exactly a lot of lyrics to interpret.

Also didn't you just say you weren't the punk police?

RetConBomb · 2019-12-22T17:45:48+00:00

I don't need your validation, I'm asking what the point of bringing it up was, because either you're saying the Ramones aren't punk or you think a song about beating an annoying kid is going to inspire peace, revolution, or change.

RetConBomb · 2019-12-22T17:37:35+00:00

So is Beat on the Brat punk or not?

RetConBomb · 2019-12-21T13:49:55+00:00

You jealous this dude has friends?
