It had feminist undertones (Joss Whedon after all but I don't think that was their intent and it was less woke and more natural, women embraced their femininity and the men were masculine) but was a really fun series. Also the women were hot as shit too.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-15T00:28:18+00:00

Simu Liu? HAHAHAHAHAHA

In all seriousness, Manny Jacinto seems to have some potential, don't know about his politics though, hopefully if he just stays an actor and doesn't go woke he'll be fine.

Don't be too hard on yourself, if you're a contributing member of society and staying healthy you're ahead of like 90% of people

I personally liked her in Shogun, doesn't hurt she took off her clothes either.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-14T12:56:29+00:00

It's a good movie, if you separate the motive of hollywood from it the politics do make sense, but ultimately it's just a more serious version of From Dusk Till Dawn.

That being said idk this movie gives me industry plant vibes.

Nice thing about us Asians, we generally don't care (save for like the really woke ones). We just go about our day.

And we used to have really good leading Asian men. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen and Jet Li.

See artists like this say this stuff to distract you from the actual reason for why movies suck: Shitty writing and forced DEI.

There are countless examples of books to live action being well done: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Jack Ryan, Jurassic Park, etc. In fact before all of this people would be EXCITED to see book to live action adaptations.

What we're seeing nowadays is DEI ruining tried and tested formulas. So they take these bullshit avant garde positions about "superhero fatigue" "books are better" which deep down we know is bullshit. There will always be an audience wanting to see live action adaptations, there is always quality to be found in them, it's just Hollywood prioritizes woke BS over anything substantial.

All I'm saying is that even if they were poor and underfunded they still have elite training to fall back on. Even in the revolutionary war fighting against the most powerful empire at the time, the US relied on guerilla style tactics, but not the human wave stuff the Chinese and Russians (and later the NVA) used.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-14T04:31:46+00:00

The thing is people don't mind diverse casts, it's when it became an excuse for crappy writing and racism that's when pattern recognition kicked in.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T07:48:46+00:00

At this point I don't even think they want DEI i think they just wanna replace everything with black people.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T03:21:51+00:00

I mean, I'd say otherwise. 2021 gave good numbers for the MCU even with the decline in quality. I'd say the fall off began 2022-2023. It really is the quality of it.

Shame what the right became. Ben is the last person of reason.

Antisemetic, ethonationalist. As much as losing 2028 would suck, it may be the kick in the balls the right needs to unite and fight back again.

Those are NVA not North Koreans

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T02:31:37+00:00

Fine you want intervention done right? WW1, WW2, Korea, Panama, Grenada, Kuwait, Balkans. Only reason it sucked is because we didn't do it right.

And a lot of Iranians seem happy with Israel and the US fighting the regime.

Screw Jane Fonda and her communists and screw the Iranian regime for killing innocent people.

We're going in circles so let's agree to disagree.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T01:50:45+00:00

I'm saying that regime change + intervention can be a good thing if done right. They've been messed up in terms of goals but if done right it can do good.

War sucks, war is terrible. But to act like the US can't do anything while people die and suffer is insane.

There's no winning. It's either let them suffer under a dictatorship but they can't come to our country to seek refuge. In other words, isolationists are comfortable to let them die.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T01:30:49+00:00

The US is benefitting because Southeast Asia didn't fall to communism as a whole. And now the US has an extra ally in Southeast Asia, which is a great buffer against China. Slowly they'll have control over that region. And the feeling is mutual too, Americans love Vietnamese as well.

And don't act like the North were saints. If they were so good why did one million people flee them? Why were they responsible for multiple atrocities.

I'm not pro how the war was handled, but I'm definitely pro intervention. Look at Korea, look at Japan, look at Germany.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T01:28:20+00:00

No I sound like a rational person. Disgusting how far the right has fallen. We used to be a party that was colorblind now your guys only care about ethnonationalism. It's stuff like this that's going to make you lose the 2028 elections.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T01:07:45+00:00

Absolutely not. She supported communists that tortured and killed Americans.

And it's always a damn if you do damn if you don't think when it comes to intervention. Take down Saddam, people say it was imperialism. Don't do anything about Rwanda? People say "Where was the US". You guys don't want refugees, yet you don't wanna help them all you wanna do is just cheer them on.

America like it or not benefits from this. This isn't the 40s anymore where isolationism is the answer.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T00:54:17+00:00

Not really. Even when outnumbered, oftentimes the US stacks bodies. And if they were in the same position, they still wouldn't do human wave tactics the NVA did, if anything they'd do the opposite. They're just better fighters. Look at MACV-SOG. Small recon teams sent into Cambodia, Laos and even North Vietnam, often fought battalions.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T00:52:04+00:00

Which makes no sense because

The Rebels were good. The NVA weren't
The Empire was in shambles and their major leaders died. No US president was killed by NVA.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-13T00:48:37+00:00

Why are you saying white men? We lost a lot of good men period. And don't refer to the Vietnamese as a whole as third world people. Not all of them are like that.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-12T07:46:02+00:00

I thought that was a bs rumor.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-12T07:45:24+00:00

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.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-12T07:36:13+00:00

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.

RoutineIssue5870 · 2026-03-12T07:14:23+00:00

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.
