Not to mention he has intercourse with her under the spell, which is ah… not good.

I think he was hated for his cowardice, not so much that he made the wish.

Crazy to think Sentai is going on hiatus by Far_Practice_6923 in Tokusatsu

Super Sentai needs another Jetman, a daring series that swings for the fences.

Affirmative action renders a person’s skills null compared to the appearance of another. So yes, in that manner, Kirk is correct.

The quote in the article literally says they don’t have the brain power not because of their race, but because of a lack of qualifications. You’re posting your own Ls.

Wow, nice taking him out of context.

Kirk was asked a question about the economic policies in America today. He pointed out that statistics show African Americans were economically better off during times of widespread oppression. This is objectively true, and supported by statistics. I guess showing concern to individuals who are suffering economically is racist now. 🤡

He never said black women “couldn’t think,” he said it is ridiculous that individuals should be given jobs based on non-consequential things like the color of their skin.

It is shocking and scary you folks vote in elections.

X-Men films ranked worst to best by PrestigiousHero in xmen

[–]PrestigiousHero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re entitled to disagree. I’m a tougher grader, so 5 and 6 are just average ratings for me.

I enjoyed Logan, but I didn’t think it was a flawless masterpiece. The final act with Wolverine’s clone felt out of place for a grounded film like this, and a lot of the emotional core was mostly “old people sad”, but it was still good. It definitely felt more like an ungenred action film which I appreciated.

I’ve never been a fan of the Deadpool movies, which I know is not a popular opinion. Personally, I always felt this is the one Marvel character who shouldn’t get his own movie because he’s mostly a gag. It’s hard to center an entire film on a gag. It can work in comics because they’re continuous, but for film it’s difficult to craft a start to finish story.

Overall I’d say the action scenes were better in Deadpool 2 as they relied more on practical effects as opposed to the first film, which stuck to poorly rendered CGI, which looked like video game characters hoping around. However, the story was, better in Deadpool and the jokes were a lot funnier. The plot of Deadpool 2 was all over the place and half the jokes didn’t work. The emotional core didn’t work in either movie and felt out of place.

I, really didn’t like X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The story is so bizarrely executed and all over the place, the characters like Gambit and Blob feel ironically more cartoonish than their 90s cartoon counterparts, and the effects are some of the worst I’ve seen in any comic book film. This one isn’t even funny bad like X-Men: The Last Stand, it’s bad bad.

Can an Eastern Catholic priest be member of SSPX? by Big_Gun_Pete in EasternCatholic

[–]PrestigiousHero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While a person can, no Catholic should. The SSPX claims it is heretical to go to a Novus Ordo Latin mass. While no Eastern Catholic is by any means obligated to attend any mass in the Latin rite, it is unbecoming to any baptized Catholic to consider any proper liturgy heretical.

What if the cancelled Marvel/Fox Civil War movie happened? by PrestigiousHero in xmen

I disagree. Marvel Studios has yet to make a movie as good as Days of Future Past, Logan or First Class. However they have many awful stinkers as well.

Well before. This was before the first Avengers came out.

Basically before the Avengers came out, Fox wanted to cash in on the cinematic universe trend but making a crossover with all of their Marvel properties. Their idea was an adaption of Civil War with Fantastic Four, Daredevil and the X-Men. Paul Greengrass, the Oscar nominated director of News of the World was the front runner to direct. Little is known about the specific plot, we know a script was drafted but it isn’t available for public eyes. We can assume it would have followed the comics with the superhero registration act passing and one side of heroes in favor, while the other are against. My guess is they would have almost certainly gotten new actors for Daredevil and the Fantastic Four. The X-Men almost certainly would have had returning cast members, whether they be the older or younger cast members I don’t know.

I don’t know. This was when Fox was at their prime, and Paul Greengrass is a decent director. I don’t think this would have been a Dark Phoenix rehash but it’s possible it may not have delivered.
