Topic | Early MCU was so violently neoliberal / right-wing |
KingInBlack 04/11/24 5:25:36 PM #37 | BlackOmnimon posted... Portryaing regulation as inherently bad The problem here is it doesn't originate from the MCU, it originates from the comics that happened 10 years before the movie. It was heavily inspired by 9/11, since the origin of Civil War was Speedball blowing up an American town by accident and the US government wanting to control super heroes. The giant flaw with Civil War in the MCU was how public the identities of the MCU heroes was. In the comics, it makes a lot more sense, one side wanted to keep identities secret, the other didn't. The comic heroes are also a lot more powerful, so a government wanting all that power makes the stakes quite a bit higher. |
Topic | Rowling got beef with Harry and Hermione. |
KingInBlack 04/11/24 2:53:44 PM #32 | What's she gonna do? Shit herself with rage? |
Topic | Is being more or less attracted to certain races being racist? |
KingInBlack 04/09/24 10:57:25 AM #34 | No, it's something else entirely. Skin color doesn't denote a different race. Race = species, not skin color or religion. |
Topic | I think the eclipse must prove that god exists because how else |
KingInBlack 04/09/24 10:54:27 AM #46 | Plumeofdusk posted... All according to God's plan Always the same excuse, "God's plan". It was God's plan to give 4 year old's bone cancer? 6 month old babies brain cancer? That is proof there is no God. Fuck... You try to claim God is real because of yearly eclipses (THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), but just ignore babies and toddlers having lethal cancers. |
Topic | is this a good reason to lapse on Smoking? |
KingInBlack 04/04/24 1:56:22 PM #31 | Dungeater posted... i just love cigs, all of the things about em You love inhaling tar, arsenic, and increasing your chance of getting lung cancer by 100%?.... None of what you said makes any sense. |
Topic | What career do you think of when I say: They don't deserve their salaries |
KingInBlack 04/04/24 1:51:25 PM #28 | CEOs. It gets worse the more you look at it. They get paid and they get stock options and such. Then there's golden parachutes in case something bad happens. Some *cough*Warner Brothers/Discovery*cought* CEOs get paid billions if they destroy the corporation they're in charge of. |
Topic | Trump would "level" Gaza without a thought, ex-aide warns |
KingInBlack 04/04/24 1:40:47 PM #11 | MarcoRubio posted... Ahhh okay now I remember that, thank you for explaining. That was then, his plan if he gets in again is to remove citizenship for children of immigrants born in the USA. All the while, you have immigrants going "Well Biden hasn't done anything for me personally, so I don't think I'll vote.". |
Topic | Lara Croft beats out Mario to become the #1 most iconic video game character |
KingInBlack 04/04/24 1:35:12 PM #17 | Agent 47?... What's really weird is they mention movies, since both Tomb Raider and Hitman movies were complete bombs (ALL of them). Tomb Raider got so bad Eidos said Universal killed the series with bad movies while Universal said Eidos killed the series with bad games. |
Topic | If someone offered to make you a vampire, would you accept? |
KingInBlack 04/02/24 12:06:47 AM #72 | ZevLoveDOOM posted... well as long as i could be one of those upgraded vampires who can stand sunlight and see their own reflection... No such thing. There is no mythology in vampire lore that states vampires die in sunlight, and the reflection thing is they don't reflect in silver, which mirrors were backed with until modern times. The sunlight shit was invented for the 1922 film Nosferatu because the director wanted to avoid being sued by the Stoker estate (they did anyways, and he lost). In the 1931 Dracula film by Universal, he's killed when a stake is driven thru his heart. It's not until Son of Dracula (1943) that Universal decided to make him burn up in flame. True vampire mythology is in sunlight, a vampire loses access to all supernatural powers, and they're stuck in whatever form they took when the sun comes up. So if they're in wolf form, they're stuck in it until night. Mist? Stuck in it until night. Since no modern mirrors aren't backed with silver, all vampire would cast reflections. |
Topic | Trump has held zero events since March 12th |
KingInBlack 03/25/24 12:18:56 PM #8 | Towns and cities know he won't pay the bills for security and such when he has a rally. He's getting blacklisted because he won't pay up. |
Topic | Trump Trials General Part 12: The path to either Justice or Anarchy. |
KingInBlack 03/25/24 12:12:07 PM #428 | We're all supposed to follow the law while others don't have to. He couldn't even appeal without paying the money, but the courts just changes everything, delays it, and then requires a fraction of the bond money. |
Topic | Have you ever driven through any "Trump country" |
KingInBlack 03/24/24 3:30:10 PM #20 | I've been through the red areas of Washington state. There wasn't really much, a few "Trump" signs on the side of barns, an "I did that" Biden sticker on a gas pump, although the gas prices had fallen low so.. uh... There really was more religious iconography than anything. |
Topic | Guess Which Part of Texas Is Looking For Porn the Most? |
KingInBlack 03/23/24 1:57:00 PM #11 | Robot2600 posted... -OR- the state's legislation is horribly gerrymandered and if you just put things to a popular vote this wouldnt happen OR you educate the people so gerrymandering doesn't work. In other places it's getting harder and harder for Republicans to gerrymander districts because people with more schooling move into poorer areas. It's why the new scheme is to cut funding to education and put far-right Republicans in charge of school boards. |
Topic | Kyle Rittenhouse Storms Off Stage |
KingInBlack 03/22/24 12:13:49 PM #152 | He ran out of money and is now desperately trying to get more free money, but he has nothing to monetize. |
Topic | Trump Trials General Part 12: The path to either Justice or Anarchy. |
KingInBlack 03/22/24 12:07:39 PM #281 | Board_hunter567 posted... I think he's technically not allowed to as part of the 180 day lockup. Technically, for now. He's allowed. They made him super duper pinky promise he wouldn't, but there's no actual legal law binding him to not sell. Considering that all his life, he lied and cheated, I don't know why they agreed to that deal in the first place. Maybe they thought it would never go thru, but it did, and he's about to cash out and tank the stock. |
Topic | Someone I know is fasting for religious purposes |
KingInBlack 03/22/24 12:03:18 PM #11 | They're allowed to drink if it's life-threatening/getting sick/hurt. |
Topic | Murder of innocent people really makes me question... |
KingInBlack 03/22/24 11:59:59 AM #20 | Really? It's innocent people being murdered? Not 6-month old babies with brain cancer? I believe the excuse religious people give is "It's to test the parents faith and belief.". That is monstrous. |
Topic | Have you learned to stopped calling women "female"? |
KingInBlack 02/25/24 12:23:17 AM #21 | I never did because that's fucking weird. |
Topic | Who's more annoying: rabid anti-piracy people or rabid anti-AI people? |
KingInBlack 02/25/24 12:21:57 AM #24 | Anti-AI. If we treat true AI with respect, we can live in harmony and achieve the Singularity. We'd become literal gods with the universe as a playground. The ones that fear AI are afraid of losing money since it would have no use. |
Topic | Alabama's largest hospital is halting IVF treatments. |
KingInBlack 02/22/24 12:03:10 PM #14 | HylianFox posted... Alabama's Chief Justice, Tom Parker, wrote in the decision that destroying life would "incur the wrath of a holy God." This shows a massive break from reality. Tom Parker is literally insane, as he cannot prove any of that, while I can prove there is no God. |
Topic | Trump's national abortion ban plan got leaked. |
KingInBlack 02/22/24 11:57:34 AM #123 | Just a reminder, Trump himself wanted his daughter Tiffany aborted. It's why her mother left him and went to the opposite side of the US. She was also told he wanted her aborted, and avoided him for a majority of her life until he became president. This is all public knowledge, but it's always ignore by the media. |
Topic | New scumbag scheme- add MTX shop post-release avoid neg reviews Tekken8 |
KingInBlack 02/16/24 2:30:06 PM #25 | It's not new, COD did that a few years back. Waited about a month after release to add tons of microtransactions. |
Topic | The time Professor Xavier made Magneto relive the Holocaust |
KingInBlack 02/16/24 2:29:09 PM #31 | Go back and re-watch it. They altered Magneto's past in Season 1 so it wasn't WW2, it was some weird civil war. But later on in Season 4, it's clearly WW2. To the one asking about Xavier in the comics, it's best to just forget it. At one point he's killed and his brain is put into Red Skull's head. Like, literally put on top of Red Skull's brain so he could become Red Onslaught or something. The comics are just so fucking bad. |
