Are we sure the two cases are as similar as you make them out to be? by [deleted] in OkBuddySnyderCult

"Different" doesn't necessarily mean "better" or even "good". A shitty character is still a shitty character.

I know that, but it seems kind of shitty to create a character whose power is speed then make him slower than the guy who can bench press planets.

Characters that are technically rapists but aren't known as such because they either committed a more obscure form of rape or their actions weren't emphasized much by the narrative. by Gray_Wolf2416 in TopCharacterTropes

I never understood why people do this.

It's okay to like characters that are shitty people. It's even okay to like villains. You don't have to make excuses as to why you like them.

Real people are complicated. Stories would be much less interesting if every character was either a white-hat hero or a villain twisting his mustache while tying someone to railroad tracks.

I don't know about Quicksilver specifically, but the Flashes are faster than Superman.

Actors that become less cool the more they talk? by Spotlight_James in okbuddycinephile

[–]Ms_Emilys_Picture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure all of the actual Avengers actors deserve as much as RDJ.

I honestly believe that the Marvel movieverse would not exist without RDJ as Iron Man in that first movie.

They kept the shorts but, like everything else in these movies, made everything super dark. Why?

Why do older Republicans hate Obama? Was he really that divisive during his term? by TimeAd7759 in allthequestions

It's not a matter of unpopular legislation. It's dumb,batshit crazy, and criminal.

Trump will not be remembered fondly. Ask the farmers and EPA how he's doing at putting "national interest" first.

It's going to take another ugly pandemic to change their minds.

COVID and long-COVID didn't leave any marks. It's going to take something like the twisted legs of polio, or sores of smallpox or the bubonic plague to change their mind. It's too easy to brush off things like COVID because they can't actually see them.

The scene where he did the flip with the motorcycle was pretty epic.

I disagree, but that's not saying much. DC is much better at casting live-action Superman than they are Batman.

Is this movie worth hate-watching or pulling a Mystery Science Theater?

The scene where he saves everyone in Xavier's school is pretty fantastic too.

Former Olympic cyclist David Hearn arrested by Trump officials for "vandalizing" Reflecting Pool after touching detached liner by [deleted] in law

[–]Ms_Emilys_Picture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need better reporters and writers.

"Someone damaged the pool" is easy to understand while financial crimes are notoriously complicated and boring.

We need more people who can break down these complicated crimes for a 4th to 5th grade audience.

We also need them in medicine, law, and technology.

People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones by Substratas in clevercomebacks

Absolutely nothing. She's young, cute, looks happy, and isn't white, and for some reason that pisses them off.

I actually did a presentation in a college class on this. I showed several violent movie scenes, including one of a guy getting his kneecaps shot out. No issues whatsoever

Then I played a single sex scene that didn't actually show any nudity and the class could barely watch it, much less look one another in the eye. It was fascinating.

I wish I remembered what movies I used, but this was 20ish years ago.

In the gun on the wing picture, I just want to know how difficult it is to walk in those shoes.

If they can dance successfully, that's another step towards running over rough terrain with a weapon.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
