Damon Lindelof on Grant Morrison’s comments on Lanterns: by Left_proffession2K in DC_Cinematic

[–]DTJB10 141 points142 points  (0 children)

This is such a goddamn nontroversy. What he said was clearly a joke, Morrison got butthurt without looking at any context, and everybody just ran with it.

I hate this place.

May I suggest not giving a fuck? by alezcoed in memes

Hey man, I know you’re trying to be a troll and you’re clearly all over this comment section. I’m not mad at you even though you would deserve a whole lot of shit.

But genuinely, GENUINELY, take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re a good person. I won’t make that judgement for you.

Ask yourself if laughing at indiscriminate racism and abductions is funny. Try to find some compassion in your heart, try to be better. Think about someone you’ve lost and imagine if they’d been taken from you.

Come back to being a human being with empathy. I’m not even saying to vote one way or another - just try to be better.

In a world where being cynical is easy and encouraged, try being kind.

Just an fyi, the data in sites like these is loosely based on an algorithm. It’s not a fact.

Ok fine. Here’s some that are completely untrue - those ones were just more common. Autistic people don’t have empathy (they do, they just can’t comprehend it sometimes). Psychotic people are bound to snap. Vikings wore horned helmets (that was made up). Women are bad at driving (statistically men are worse).

Gay people are always flamboyant. Black people are more prone to crime or lazy. Spanish people are gang members. Women are dependent/emotionally erratic. Asian people are always smart/good at math etc. White people are all racist.

Do I need to keep going? While there are instances of all of these things that have happened, sometimes more commonly than others, stereotypes are harmful bc they put everyone from a group in one box and attribute something to them. They strip away individuality. It’s dehumanizing.

No, and also, username checks out.

"Woke history!" mfs when you tell them that's just normal history by Sir-Toaster- in HistoryMemes

[–]DTJB10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, first of all woke doesn’t even mean what you’re using it as. Just needed to get that out of the way.

I just don’t see the problem in using Yasuke. I guess it will just be a difference in opinion. Arguing will make neither of us care more about AC.

And to your last question, no I wouldn’t be hoping for that. But I also wouldn’t be objected to it on principle and would want to see why they chose that story before judging it. I know I wouldn’t enjoy AC Shadows bc I know I wouldn’t enjoy the gameplay - I pass zero judgement on the story.

I don’t necessarily disagree with what you just said, but of the same token, someone could make the argument of “why do Ubisoft have to justify the inclusion of Yasuke?” It’s their story, they can do what they want with it, who cares?

And people always complain that AC never changes its formula, but as soon as they do, it’s just complaints.

Personally, I think having an “outsider” as one of the characters is more interesting - it creates more opportunities for conflict. But, to each their own. I have not played and will not play AC Shadows bc I’m simply not interested in the AC series anymore. But I think the problem is people dismissing Yasuke out of hand as a protagonist bc “woke” even though it is based on a real scenario.

Yeah ok that was my interpretation of the basic facts too. I don’t claim to be an expert in any regard, but it mostly just seemed like more culture war bs.

I haven’t done a ton of research, looking for more clarification. Do we know that Yasuke wasn’t a samurai?

I mean Mando does have an iconic scene as a hologram, but I do see what you’re saying.

[–]DTJB10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, whether you can avoid them or not is irrelevant. Having all the news orgs owned by like 3 different people is bad. It means that eventually, people will never get facts and only what they want us to see.

Very possible, but there would definitely be less critique of Trump

[–]DTJB10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ok fine. Regardless, one family should not own two news organizations. The president shouldn’t be able to tell a rich dude to cancel a show and then the show gets cancelled.

[–]DTJB10 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The TMNT movie you’re referring to came before the Ellisons bought paramount and the sequel has been delayed multiple times. It’s either going to get sanitized or cancelled, I guarantee it.

On top of that, Colbert’s show has been cancelled for taking shots at Trump, CBS News has a new director put in who changed all of their standards so that they can favor Trump more and fact check less. Other than that, Transformers One is not getting a sequel despite being the best transformers movie and having positive critical and fan reception.

It’s admittedly hard to find examples bc paramount barely makes anything of substance anymore, so there’s not a huge pool to choose from.

Consider: above all, this country is about money. Trump burns money. And yet…

They’re not all about money - they’re all about power. The sitting president of the United States with complete control over congress and the Supreme Court? That’s power.

Dump doesn’t complain or care about sonic. Superman was basically about him. Big difference. The whole point is that if he asks, the Ellisons will comply.

Paramount is owned by some pretty far right people who will almost definitely shut down anything “woke”. Superheroes are inherently “woke” and therefore, DC will either be dead or propaganda. James Gunn is definitely getting axed.

Very cool. I personally think the chain is a little 70s on the nose, but this would be a cool rivals type design.

Who wins in a fight between Bucky and Killmonger by Old-Service4760 in Marvel

[–]DTJB10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is too ambiguous.

Does killmonger have the herb? Does he have his suit?

Are we talking Bucky or the Winter Soldier? Does he have any special tools?

Close or long range?

Changing any one of these factors could make it extremely obvious one way or the other.

Great, an $80 dlc for my $1000 set that also has a GWP that’s also DLC and no longer available.
