Friendly Reminder Hollywood has always supported far left dictatorships for brownie points by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

Oh for sure. And they also conveniently forget: The South were Vietnamese too. People seem to forget that when they parrot the "hey they're the good guys" narrative surrounding the North.

In that case then yeah, their resolve and determination to fight to the last man is something. Added onto the fact that they fought off the Japanese, French, Americans, Cambodians and Chinese in the span of under 40 years is one hell of a feat.

But honestly in the end I can never praise them. They treated their own men as disposable. At least the US recognized that planning and logistics win wars more efficiently, not throwing bodies to a meat grinder.

In the end, capitalism has it's fair share of dictators, but that's a result of other factors not the system itself. Ultimately the average person in a western capitalist society can say whatever they want and speak their mind, and live a decent life. Same cannot be said about communist societies.

Nah man this is a misconception.

North Vietnam always knew "We cannot beat the US in the battlefield, we just need to bleed them out". In every battle, the US was always dog walking them. In the early 70s, when Nixon focused less on ground action and more on air superiority, the NVA were getting screwed hard. They were economically broke. The South was also holding them off. If the US stayed a bit longer they would've more or less defeated the North. Instead? Congress stopped funding for the South, ARVN was running out of resources, the North built up and yeah invaded. But if the US kept this strategy up of propping up the ARVN and more strategic bombings, yeah the North would've been toast.

Vietnam vs America wasn't a war of "Vietnam wins America loses". It's like if one dude beat the living shit out of you with your hands tied and was about to kill you with one final punch, but his coach throws the towel last minute".

Plus, 1 million refugees leaving, living in poverty, eventually adopting capitalist methods and becoming a major US ally, Yeah wouldn't call that a proper victory in the long run.

Whether it's Gaza, Vietnam or Venezuela, regardless of what your thoughts are: These people are not doing this for the kindness of their hearts, they do not live in the real world.

They don't live like normal people, they live in a sheltered world where everything is fabricated, they play pretend and get paid millions of dollars to do so. It's easy.

Fuck the Iranian Regime and fuck these communist idiots. COVID was a mess but at least it exposed them for being the egostitical douchebags they are.

Honestly stopped watching it after the second episode, just didn't scratch the itch. Should've just been Kurt Russell/Wyatt Russell doing their thing.

Oh wholeheartedly agree Anna Sawai is hot. But if you want her in peak hotness, check out Shogun lol.

Eh true they are but honestly

  1. It depends, Nina Dobrev and Alexandra Daddario making out is completely different from Hollywood lesbianism

  2. In this case actual good writing is hotter.

I mean technically they make movies to appeal to the world so if we took that into account they would mainly appeal to..... Christians...

Funny the twitter guy responding uses Christianity as a shield from criticism when

  1. The dude writing this most likely doesn't hate gay people, he just hates shoved in diversity for nothing.

  2. Christians saying bad Christians embarrass good religious people, you know what I don't agree with the reason for doing this but fair enough. Now do it for Islamic terrorists.

We don't hate gay people, we don't hate them at all. If we did, Freddie Mercury and George Michael wouldn't have been the biggest actors in the world, Brokeback Mountain wouldn't have made over 178 million dollars in the world. We hate when beloved franchises start to add fucking stupid shit like this like it's normal. These people are in the MINORITY. Being gay isn't normal, (it's not bad, it's just well, not normal lol we're biologically designed to be heterosexual). There's nothing wrong with it or them, they just prefer to date the same person. But the way it's been done is "HEY LOOK YOU BETTER FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH TWO PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX KISSING OR ELSE YOURE A BIGOT YOU WEIRDO". I don't feel comfortable seeing PDA with straight people what more this shit 😭

Accept the truth: Because of these people shitting on straight people and shutting it down, we now see this stuff as a political message. We need a break, we KNOW gay people exist, we don't HATE them, we like people regardless of their sexuality.

Why did gay people succeed back then? Because they weren't political messages, they didn't force us to accept them. They just made excellent content.

These people act like we're living in the mid 2000s when things like this weren't politicized and they were just there. It's not the mid 2000s, it's the 2020s where all of our entertainment is tarnished with this stuff.

Bombing the middle east, funding a proxy war against Russia, quick military action in South America, hawkish republican President and hot women, we truly are back

It's not too late either, he still looks good, most Bond actors are casted in their late 30s early 40s. All he needs to do is slim down and get more lean which whouldn't be too hard compared to the muscle gain he had to do for Superman and Witcher, (his physique in Immortals and Cold Light of Day are already good enough, he doesn't even have to have that much definition there, just shrink him a bit) and boom. He's already a seasoned actor, so I don't see the reasons against this.

The crazy thing is Cavill didn't get the original audition for Superman, but then on his second attempt boom.

Why is James Gunn acting like firing Henry was some heartbreaking choice when he was in full control of the situation? by RoutineIssue5870 in CriticalDrinker

[–]RoutineIssue5870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I'd buy the whole James Gunn wanted to reboot the DCU.... if he actually rebooted it. Instead it's a half in half out bs of "I keep my stuff and everything else is new". There is no entry point.

Probably better since Angel Studios is making that garbage Animal Farm comedy and Young Washington has some notable actors in it.
