Problem is people equate this "league" strictly with good looks and that's not always the case. You don't deserve her not because she's beautiful, you don't deserve her because she's way too good for you.

Well that pre-60s and redlining (and pricey swim clubs) before and since then does limit pool access to lower income neighborhoods. You're not gonna find a good number of maintained public pools in those areas. Hell it blew my mind when I found out there was an affordable pool park near where I live right now where it's $7 a visit because that wasn't anywhere in the Atlanta area.

Why do CE topics about minorities make me feel like I got a Harvard level education in high school when I grew up in fucking Georgia 30 miles from a confederate monument on the side of a giant rock.

I think they are referring to the idea of attributing poor decision making by teenagers to the fact that their brain isnt fully developed. Apparently belief in such things has some sort of racial component. Is that accurate, cuttin?

Shut the fuck up.

Again, nobody is saying you have to take public transit to get places. Just that it should be a viable alternative to driving everywhere. Many people hate driving and would prefer to be able to take a bus, train or simply walk somewhere.

It ultimately benefits everyone in the end. Less people that absolutely need to drive places = less drivers on the road = less traffic. It also makes it so people that shouldn't be driving (such as drunks or drowsy people) aren't forced to do so. It's literally a win-win.

You also don't have stroads where pedestrians have to share road space with vehicles going 40 mph mere inches away from them.

That's without getting into all of the other benefits, such as not needing to have massive parking lots that take up tons of land that can be used for better things.

The only reason you don't think it affects you is because most, if not all, of us have had to put up with car dependent cities for our entire lives, so we just assume that the inconveniences we deal with are normal.

Yeah definitely seems related to race. Or maybe thats a moronic thing to say. But maybe not, can you explain?

Yes I'm sure your anecdotal evidence isn't lacking in any details of stupid shit you did at 14 and outweighs actual evidence from multiple studies on the issue.

Did he really convert?

seems like an old clip

isn't he bald now?

No one has convinced me im wrong yet.

But I've never played FFVII and my knowledge of it could barely fill a thimble compared to how deep that rabbit hole goes. How am I supposed to know Billy Badass is hurt?

I'm great and you know exactly what I'm referring to. This is a very disturbing gimmick you've chosen

Imagine taking someone seriously who doesn't consider allowing a child to watch their mother have sex while her partner touches the child and films it as being sexual abuse.

Someone in this topic has that opinion and proudly died on that hill. This topic isn't helping their case

Progenitor is gender neutral. It's also the only thing I can call my mom other than mom that won't get her to sock me in the gut. She doesn't like matron, and mother is too impersonal.

Iunno, ask them I guess?

Its a callback to comic splash pages that have been doing this shit for decades now. Its a way to get everyone on page (or in this case, on screen) at once to set up a big hype moment.

Do you really need more of a justification then that?

I've argued a lot, please read any one of my many posts back for them.

I'm not going to repeat all my arguments for you to poorly rephrase them here.

And that somehow organically leads to a flashy splash panel when one of those guys is legitimately wearing rocket boots and another is a dude with a bow?

Neither of them make sense organically, you just forgive that one for reasons unknown.

Yeah, horse shit.

I feel the same for you and many that are arguing against that scene or other things in this topic.

Im immediately trying to get them to see a side they arent considering and put their bullshit aside and listen to someone else for a change. Ive heard all the arguments, I know exactly what people are gonna say. That scene has been bitched about to hell and back for 3 years now. And call me Nostradamus because I did predict it to the letter. I wish people would sometimes stop and take a moment to consider other sides. Because Ive heard all your arguments and I had a lot of thoughts and good arguments immediately prepared to provide for consideration. Yet did yall see the points I was trying to make? Nah. Some of you couldnt wait, or are still trying to tell me how bad that scene is without considering any other thought on the matter. Thats fine though. Ive taken careful time to respond to pretty much all of it with careful thought and logical arguments for what I believe. Im not the one you should be talking to about respecting others opinions.

Explain the difference, then.

Explain the AoU scene as well.

They're the same type of scene - character line up hype that apes comic book splash pages.

I hope your use of TC In this case is used as a generality and not referring to me? Because this definitely wasnt me.

All of my posts have this understanding baked into them. I know how opinions work and if youve ever seen me argue anything on this board, youll see Ill always understand the place for opinions.

But when opinions are argued its to show another side that isnt being considered. The relentless anger that certain scenes or marvel properties have should be seen in another light, its not the only way to view these things, and IMHO, in many aspects its can be flat out wrong. All opinions are allowed to exist, including ones that say the overwhelming amount of bitching about one scene is ridiculous and comes from a terrible place.

.like this very topic youre posting in? Lol this is madness you just asked this.

Youll notice if you are reading this topic at all when I brought up the endgame scene, I said this would get people riled up and I attempted to shut down all the bullshit whining about that scene before it even happened. And people came out of the woodworks still to tell me how bad that scene was and how it shouldnt have been made.

lol its weird talking to people who engage in a topic that explains everything and they still act lost like its not all right here for anyone to read.

Almost every Disney Marvel show gets panned. Is it possible that these new things just suck?

What does the topic title say?

My amen comment was to someone praising how well written and executed the female characters of the MCU are btw

My dude I have you tagged as a cool poster. Im not seeing that right now.

This true. But people also are more willing to suspend their disbelief for men doing the exact same things as women.

I think a large part of peoples immediate and disproportionate reactions is because a familiarity thing too. When people are used to seeing something, theyre okay with it. And people simply arent as used to seeing female characters do the exact same shit male characters do. Scenes like this are important and if that makes people this mad, good. People will learn to get over it the more they see it.

idk what Loki has to do with this. Go on?

but as for it being lame well again, when mere seconds of a 3 hour movie get litigated this much I dont think its as much of an issue of it being lame. Like that really shouldnt matter so much to anyone.

Especially, why it matters that it exists at all. Let the women line up and be counted. Thats fucking awesome I dont care what you say. And if there is even one girl out there who saw that scene and felt seen, heard, represented, or thought it was cool. Then it did its job. Probably similar to the feelings I got when I saw Cap wield the hammer. Both of these moments can exist in the same movie and affect different people in positive ways. Thats what these movies are for. And for the internet to continue to whine about this one scene is absurd.

Trying to make anyone feel like theyre not allowed to enjoy representation because of extremely slight nitpicks at the end of the day? Not a fan.

I think the scene would have been a little better if they had they choreographed a more dynamic fight scene with all the women. But thats a small nitpick for me and still doesnt take away anything from what the scene is doing. Which is ultimately more important imho than any nitpick Ive seen about it.

Again, see my reasoning above. I literally created this argument in this topic as an example of shit you dont see. You see so much more vitriol when women do anything.

People continue to dismiss my arguments about how little continuity actually matters when people sit down and enjoy these movies. They literally cant help themselves but Matrix dodge all my arguments and still pick apart seconds of a 3 hour film because it has women standing in a linedont tell me there isnt a correlation.

they all have magic earpieces and are in constant communication through the rest of the movie whenever the plot needs them to be. They absolutely know whats happening the same as Ant Man who heard rocket and Rhodes pleading for help.

Exact kinda shit Im talking about. You realize Captain Marvel actually doesnt need help to take down the entirety of Thanos army at all? Not just scene alone. Thats literally what youre saying. Like this character is actually shown to be so strong she could literally just solo the entire fuckin army and let every other Avenger in the battle go for shawarma. But thats not a fun movie. But because theres a bunch of other girls behind her suddenly we care a lot about how she doesnt need their help? Walking right into it my friend.

I fail to see how this has any relevance at all.

You can look at episode 1 when she gets her Hulk powers and learns to control then immediately, with the explanation given that as a woman she knows how to control her anger. Shes been doing it her whole life.

People took this to mean shes a better hulk, she has no lessons to learn (which comes full circle in the last episode) and it just made people mad that this new character didnt have an identity crisis like Bruce Banner.

She Hulk being the latest example. It made some delicate men very mad for simply existing.

CE's going to act like you're the most disgusting person on earth. Just be warned, don't take that personally.
