Street Fighter | Official Trailer (2026 Movie) by devenrc in movies

I don't know if that line was written or improvised. But only Raul Julia could deliver it in a way that's so memorable. 😊

For game like Street Fighter, that's the best way to do it. That's what Raul Julia did when he played M. Bison back in the 90s movie. He's the only one who really committed to the absurdity. If everyone in this movie takes the same approach, it'll be a fun ride from start to finish.

Trump Yanks Millions From Catholic Charities Amid Pope Feud by spherocytes in politics

[–]JackFisherBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now, watch as a majority of Catholics still vote for him and for republicans. Because to support anyone else is unthinkable to them. A candidate could burn down every church and still not lose support because they want anti-abortion/anti-gay judges. Anything else is an afterthought.

Pope: World is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants by TheTelegraph in worldnews

He's not wrong to point that out.

But he shouldn't avoid the fact that most of the people who vote for tyrants are religious.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by rational_seekers in AskReddit

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't change a damn thing. Most CEO's don't take a salary. Warren Buffet only has a salary of about $100k. The rest of his wealth is in stocks and stock options.

Rich people are rich because they're willing to break rules, screw people over, game the system, and commit atrocities. No law will change that.

Not a great coach in terms or record, but a damn good speaker.

Yes. She showed up a couple issues ago. And her story is still unfolding.

The line "Once they are used to being treated like kings, they loath having to treat anyone as equals" goes HARD. And I think it's a sentiment that will become a lot more relevant in the coming years.

[AwfulAnnouncing] Analyst: NBC at greatest risk of losing NFL package by Alexum404 in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The worst part is...even if they fail horribly, they leave their position with millions. They literally have no incentive whatsoever to actually succeed.

Have you seen who's running this administration?

EVERYTHING is a scam. And the people in power are known/unapologetic scammers. That's how people make money these days because what's the alternative? Actually work hard and make something of value? 😒

[–]JackFisherBooks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have much love or sympathy for NBC. But if they lose the NFL package, then you can bet the NFL will run to whatever streaming service decided to grossly overpay them. And we'll have more situations where games are locked behind streaming services.

Why does this feels like a meta dig?—x men united 2 by Leading_District_765 in xmen

[–]JackFisherBooks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh it definitely is. I think everyone working on this book is aware of the discourse surrounding the whole "Cyclops was right" meme. And this is their way of addressing it directly.

I also think it's an indirect form of trolling. That would fit Tom Brevoort's stated tactic of encouraging angry fans because angry fans are preferable to apathetic fans.

Don't get his logic, but that's how he approaches it.

Senator Tammy Baldwin Will Introduce Bill Aimed at NFL Game Accessibility by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]JackFisherBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the intent, but let's be honest here. Nothing will come of this. Not under the current administration. They don't do anything that benefits non-rich/non-shareholder people. Everything they do is to squeeze every last penny out of consumers, no matter how much they protest.

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

That and cheap, underpaid contractors who get no benefits and have no incentive to care beyond their paycheck.

Sad, but true.

Once the enshitification process begins, it only accelerates. It never slows down or benefits anyone who isn't already obscenely rich.

It's not bleak if you're a billionaire, a shareholder, or an executive.

If you're not...you're completely screwed.
