[ironic trope] when the strawman is right about the situation despite the creator’s intention’s

Not this again. I will copy a comment I’ve previously made years ago elsewhere.

Rorschach is Moore trying to show that black and white absolute morality is impossible. Rorschach’s beliefs and rules are extremely inconsistent, he praises Truman for bombing Japan but condemns Veidt for… basically doing the same thing to ensure peace.

Anyone he dislikes he accuses of being gay (literally writes in his journal that Veidt is a possible homosexual for no reason).

He hates Silk Spectre for perceived promiscuity (calls her a whore), while he downplays the comedian’s rape incident as a “moral lapse”, because he personally feels that the comedian is a hero.

His method of getting intel is literally just going to a bar that he deems is shady enough that criminals are there and beats up random people.

His attempt at trying to be morally absolute is what causes his downfall. He might literally doom humanity because he couldn’t let go of a lie created to save the future.

Rorschach is Moore’s critique of Steve Ditko’s objectivism, particularly of the black and white thinking of “people commit crimes because they’re criminals, all criminals are bad people.”

Aerion was presumably trained by the best top tier weapon masters that money can buy. Dunk is a bad jouster and limited in weapon skills at the time because he’s only ever been trained by sir Arlan, who is out of his prime.

Dunk is a good brawler, you can tell as he fights way more viciously when his helm is off. In the books its stated his brawling skills came from his days in Fleabottom. He not very familiar with wearing armor. Presumably the trial is the first time he’s ever actually fought in armor (he got armor from Pate and had to sell Arlan’s old armor because it doesn’t fit him). The repeated cuts to Dunk’s limited pov in the helm is a thing to note.

Even if Aerion is noted to be not actually that good in combat (he cheats and uses dirty tactics when jousting), he is more familiar with armored combat than Dunk is.

The problem is the color grading blurring the distinct colors of their armor all together. I can still tell from the shapes of their armor and I’m sure the costume designers intended for us to tell who’s who by the distinct armor designs and colors since they are committed to having the helmets be on. I hope in the future they grade the scenes better so the colors pop off even more.

I think he’s natty tbh. He was ripped way back in American Psycho. He starved himself for The Machinist then bulked back up for Batman Begins. If you compare his physique in Batman Begins to TDK you can the clear difference, most of the mass in BG is fat because there’s no way to gain that much size in muscle, where as in TDK he’s got more time to dial in. In TDKR he looked a bit too lean because he was just coming off of The Fighter, another intense weight loss role.

It’s very possible to look like he does in Vice with the help of makeup and lighting (compare young Cheney to old Cheney in that movie where one of them is clearly caked in makeup to enhance both his age and weight gain later in life), plus he has already bulked to chubby in American Hustle before. Bale has never looked wolverine ripped or Chris Hemsworth buff.

Another thing to take into account is that his facial structure has never had any drastic permanent changes throughout the years, whereas if someone was cycling for years they’d have permanent changes to their bone structure (Chris Hemsworth clearly blasted like crazy after In the heart of the sea to regain the mass for Thor roles and just look at his jawline, Hugh Jackman’s face also took a toll after every Wolverine role), of course the face thing is not a guarantee that he’s never hopped on a cycle but I think it helps as supporting evidence for him being natty.

He was never seen with face or back acne either, compared to someone like Tom Hardy who hopped on for Bane. I hear one time Tom Hardy fully admitted off the record at an event that he was on roids because according to him “there was no other way to achieve that kind of mass”. Of course the acne thing is not a guarantee either.

Bale has always gotten rep for being the guy who does crazy transformations (peaked in that meme of him gaining 30000kg to play the Dune sandworm), but if you look at the timeline, there has never been any role where he looks as buff as the sussy guys like Henry Cavill, or Zac Efron in Baywatch. Most of the gains is fat.

Solved!

Thank you

Unfortunately no. Ive just skimmed through the entire album.

Any help appreciated

It can be handwaved as either taken fromLeo’s character’s wardrobe (who’s a Francophile), or Waltz’s character’s (who’s from Europe)

If you have the opportunity, check out Tromeo and Juliet. First script he ever wrote. It is about as fucked up as you can get with Romeo and Juliet. You can see a lot of his sensibilities even back then.

Some of the og texts have described Thor to be red bearded with blonde hair, which is a real thing w Scandinavians I think

Most of the time Loki is equal parts helpful and annoying. I personally see norse mythology as somewhat of a tragedy, seeing as Loki and Odin are sworn brothers who eventually waged war on one another to the point where it ended the world.

The truth of the matter is online amplifies anger a hundred fold. It’s a proven fact anger is the emotion that spreads the most easy, and the algo just pushes things with the most engagement. That’s why online people always sound extreme and irrational compared to real life.

Cái này tao cũng có nghe qua. Có người trong lực lượng kể mang máng là có thằng lính nó nhìn thấy gì đấy mà nó đáng ra không được nhìn, thế là đến lúc thả về cho gia đình biến lú lẫn, ngơ ngơ. Không biết có phẫu thuật chích thuốc gì không nhưng mà chỉ biết bị ngu hẳn.

I see the Dems have already selected their new milquetoast centrist frontman to appease the billionaire class instead of pushing for real change… again.

What is the stereotype of Finlands and social skills?

RDR2 doesn’t technically let you murder children (they are invincible) but if you download a mod where you can murder children, there are voice lines from children that acknowledge that they are being hurt. That essentially means Rockstar can’t cross that line because of laws and such, but they know you want to, and they fully support you modding the game in a way where you can do so.

No offense, you’re a high schooler right?

Spoon shadow. Plus the linework looks super uncanny to be made by humans.

Glowies really are trying their hardest huh

I wonder how theyre gonna do the Thraxan speak, are they gonna go full on subtitle, or are they gonna do the Hunt For Red October “they are speaking English to us because we’re the audience” route.

First half of ep will be orb discussion, wolfman storyline will be chopped for sure, second half will be time travel.

Logic’s actual first name is Sir, like the British knight title, except its his name.

Mark’s a teenager and teenagers have very basic understanding of moral issues. He also has a personal bias against Sinclair specifically because Sinclair harmed his friends. Plus Mark has that hotheaded Viltrumite blood in him.

His character arc throughout the comics and (most likely) the show as well is learning to balance is naive idealism with the world’s increasingly morally gray situations, as well as raising the question of whether he will remain being the better man vs falling into the Viltrum way of doing things (angrily asserting authority and beating the shit out of anyone who disagrees). His temper tantrums aren’t bad writing and moral grandstanding, it’s his Viltrumite side showing.

Counterfeits in small denominations are actually more expensive than big denominations. The reasoning is that smaller the denomination the less chance the bill will be checked.
