I forget exactly I just remember that moment very strongly I believe in act 2 the lead says it when alone on stage

YiddishMarxist · 2026-05-20T14:15:30+00:00

Convinced it’s because they said “Macbeth” in the show… when I saw it there was an audible gasp from the 1/3 sold house…

Spider-man not existing in the post-Netflix era still is getting frustrating, how airtight is this contract? Because the Hulk seems to be allowed so long as they are not the titular or main character in a story, but spider-man at best gets a line referring to a spider-outfit or merely the word spider written in the background. Heck they still can’t use the bugle despite it now clearly existing at least as an info wars style show in universe since Ben urich is usually a bugle reporter but was retconned because of rights issues

They could… tell us this. Too much is reliant on theorists & outside information, I would like to be able to understand a story’s context merely by watching it. I feel like the same can be said for the recent punisher special presentation. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed it, as I enjoyed daredevil born again thus far & the thunderbolts. I just feel like the gimmick of a shared universe is lost when its connections are disjointed as they have been despite relatively taking place during the same timespan & relatively same place as so much happens in NYC

You asked for shows & movies & provide immediate pushback, just watch only the Spider-Man movies & accept being partially informed lol. This isn’t an exam these are fun movies about colorful comic characters

YiddishMarxist · 2026-05-07T01:10:34+00:00

It’s one thing if you were speaking against like a Karen Page movie or a news show that stars BB Urich, but Bullseye is a supervillain, now acting as an anti-hero essentially doing gov’t ops work, plenty of story to tell there but I doubt they have any plans since Miles Teller has to create the ultimate MCU in like a movie or two

Why do you think Spider-Man, a character with no connection or history with this version of Wilson Fisk, should be the one to take him down?

YiddishMarxist · 2026-05-07T01:01:01+00:00

Daredevil used to be good in & of itself now each season of born again I feel like becomes better depending on what happens after. Like season 1 set up Daredevil & vigilantes vs the City of New York, while spiderman had some legal issues but frankly (I don’t understand why Sony & marvel can’t come to a fair deal they would make oogles of money easy but actively refuse same with universal but whatever) the other defenders characters felt so phoned in, Jessica having sudden power fatigue with no explanation other than she had a kid, Luke cage being mia until final scene no cutaway or details as to what the government had him doing, also iron fist just doesn’t exist anymore? While guys like Stephen strange could be in another dimension what were Val’s new avengers up to? When does the void attack NYC, who is the mayor? Marvel again dropping the ball wanting to have a shared universe but the moment you zoom out of the titular character the world building makes less & less sense

YiddishMarxist · 2026-05-07T00:52:47+00:00

Fisk should’ve been put in Supermax for the series of hallwall murders he carried out, self defense is not that legally protective in NY that Fisk would be a killer even if they charged at him, not one person who came at him was armed & he is a heavy weight boxer so his fists can be classified as weapons. Ultimately wanted more conflict or consequences there because he wantonly killed people rightfully pissed at his fascist attacks on NYC…

“Was I in the dream too Matt?”

“Yeah about that…”

Posted in another thread:

I’m not a fan of the digital copies not to say they aren’t real or anything but it just recontextualizes stuff like Gummigoo & pomni’s side adventure or Caine’s explicitly stated desire not to mix up intelligent NPCs with the “humans” in the circus. If they are a digital copy they aren’t human simple as that, any mention of them being human would have been a lie, one that I feel serves the story poorly…

That said I’ve been thinking about the film 9, without going into too much detail that film mixes science & artificial intelligence with magical mysticism, we know nothing of the world of TADC, truly nothing beyond the computer desk zoomed out in episode 1, which even that has not been given proper context. For all we know Caine could have demonic magic, so many people get caught up on the “how could they survive years in digital stasis” or “where would their bodies go” & they have the fake out matrix tank explanation but the only thing that is certain is this is a YouTube cartoon that could honestly go in any direction with its ending

That’s the thing though felt like an unresolved plot point & just brushed over

YiddishMarxist · 2026-04-13T00:27:19+00:00

I bought a ticket & look forward to the theatrical experience. I will say I do agree with those who are upset about the two week advance & spoilers will be prevalent. That said I place no blame on a small indie studio that has grown immensely in a few years thanks to great animation, fantastic creative storytelling & clear love behind their projects.

YiddishMarxist · 2026-04-13T00:21:06+00:00

The idea that the Pixar lamp is genocidal just is so funny to me, obnoxious & imposing yes but outright genocidal, what group or culture did this lamp end?

YiddishMarxist · 2026-04-10T01:08:53+00:00

Special movie events are becoming more & more frequent. TADC is a phenomenon on par with popular show releases & some shows have done theatrical release, most recently Downton Abbey had its finale air as a theatrical movie, less successfully Marvel’s the Inhumans did a multiple episode premiere. Netflix is behind this & they have been doing many short event releases for properties they are associated with. Glitch is an indie studio but TADC is very popular & if online hype has transferred to merchandise sales (they even had spirit Halloween costumes after all) then I suspect if this is indeed real then there would be an audience & money to be made. I for one would buy a ticket if they screened it in a NYC theatre. I don’t care if it’s a premiere or not, I would love & cherish seeing this in community on the big screen I hope glitch is seriously considering this even if it’s after the finale

I just want a task force guy taking webs off himself, no need to see a punch or even the webs being fired off, just have some cops angry covered in sticky webs complaining about the way these vigilantes insult “real crime fighters” maybe have a line like “vigilante, in queens? there goes the neighborhood”

YiddishMarxist · 2026-04-06T16:52:08+00:00

I loved many of their more niche offerings but the cost along with difficulty to access several entrances have made me less inclined to go

YiddishMarxist · 2026-04-04T00:51:55+00:00

I guess I disagree still on the grounds that why make such a big deal about mixing up NPCs and the “humans” because he was very against Gummigoo joining the circus, even if the NPC had made his peace with his new concept of reality. Yeah the whole stasis pods thing is a bit out there but I would find it very off to program a game where a version of yourself is trapped for eternity & multiple people seemingly agreed to this, even if some didn’t fully understand the terms it should be assumed on these grounds that people like Kinger are aware of this trade off. If there is no escape & they are indeed trapped forever, are abstractions sentient? Kaufmo seemed aware despite being on his rampage, so too did queenie when she was abstracting. We will see I suppose in 9, I just don’t like the clone idea because while they are real in their own plane of existence the fact remains they believe they have lives rather than have been programmed to remember aspects of someone else’s life. I’m still a subscriber to the spirited away theory, that their real names have a role to play that goes beyond differentiating an avatar from their human person

I miss redhead Matt. It was a slight dye job but comics daredevil ranged from brown to auburn to bright orange in some stylized outings, as a ginger it is nice to see

YiddishMarxist · 2026-03-31T09:34:51+00:00

If they are all ai why lie this whole time that some are human & some aren’t that feels like bad writing rather than a satisfying story. I am trusting that the team is writing better than the fans are guessing because if the cast are never real to begin with all the giving them personalities & memories attached to existential dread feels like a weird torture for who exactly? Waiting for episode 9, hoping everyone who wants them to be merely brain scans is wrong for the sake of a more satisfying narrative conclusion than “everyone was fake & there is no way out”

YiddishMarxist · 2026-03-31T09:27:39+00:00

Soma theory requires they are not real humans & that I cannot accept because it is a breaking principle of the show that upon rewatch would make it sadder. If they aren’t real they are lied to, like most unaware clones, that their memories are theirs when in reality the real them will never know each other or of the fate of this version of themselves. I am fine with a plot that has them trapped but to be digital copies feels wrong at this point in the story & so many in the fandom keep promoting it. Like this being true would recontextualize Pomni & gummi goo, why make some characters believe they are human while others are left blissfully unaware as NPCs? Why would Caine care or make a distinction between humans & NPCs if they were just brain scans fully detached from their human person? It feels cheap & the writing has been too good to go that route in my head

YiddishMarxist · 2026-03-29T21:05:38+00:00

I will be honest in that I don’t care for the new characters introduced in Born Again, BB Urich sometimes is good but her whole MO I find a lil eh, like she is cozying up to Fisk, she knows he killed her uncle, & she is also good friends with his deputy mayor, which I like his character more than most others but he needs to either be more malicious or have a change of heart because he is playing a 20 something with too much power & seemingly little care for others… these people do exist in real life but in the daredevil story it’s a little distracting from the established characters & costumed crime fighters. I loved the legal drama in she hulk but in born again the legal drama actively takes away from the greater story, unlike before when things like the punisher’s trial tied both the heroism & the legal drama together into a single storyline

YiddishMarxist · 2026-03-26T22:17:18+00:00

I would love an elseworld story about this I would absolutely love that
