Its funny when you think about it. Because nobody would believe that Marvel was going to surivive with the Iron Man movie back 2008. They were practically bankrupt back then.

Yet people are dooming about Marvel more then they are now.

Yup lol they're a victim of their own success unfortunately. They made it look so easy for so long that people took it for granted. Even after so many other studios tried (and failed) to launch their own cinematic universes.

It's telling that they only appear to be "dying" in comparison to their past successes. If you actually look at the movie studio landscape, Marvel Studios is still doing very well.

Kang doesn't have the widespread recognition or staying power that thanos did

This is more revision. Regular folks had no clue who Thanos was (there were a bunch of people confused by the Avengers end credit scene.) And if you're just talking comic fans then they are just as aware of Kang as they are Thanos, I'd say. In comics, Kang is a MUCH bigger Avengers villain than Thanos is.

I think they're talking about public knowledge of them. In that case they're right. The public didnt know who ironman, thor or captain america was before MCU. They'd be considered B level celebrities.

This is the DC issue. Everyone knows Batman and Superman. The other founding member of the League, nobody knows who they are.

Correct. And DC disproves VFalcone's point because even with some of the most recognizable superheroes in Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, they still failed.

VFalcone posted...

The main Avengers cast is considered B-tier...? Since when? X-Men, Spiderverse, Fantastic Four, and Avengers are all people even know about

Since forever lol as stated, in comics and general public, the "stars" were Spidey and X-people. The Avengers comics didn't start selling comparable until after the MCU became a thing.

VFalcone posted...

MCU is done for. They already used Ironman, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. The rest like Thor, Doctor Strange and Ant-Man are clinging on for dear life with only GoG standing on its feet. The populace is very simple-minded. Marvel was successful because it was about the A-listers. People want to see stuff about the big-time A-listers.

This is completely false. The characters the MCU started with were NOT A-listers at all. The were maybe B-list, at best. You're revising history.

And public knowledge of characters is, ultimately, irrelevant. The vast majority of characters people live were literally unknown before their films.

He isn't retiring.

not like men

casual sex notwithstanding most people cool off after a while of monogamy

This is ABSOLUTELY false lol I say this as a married man. Go outside, bruh. If a woman isn't into having sex with you then it's more likely because she's not into YOU, specifically.

I didn't really get that joke. What gay women have been added to Disney/Star Wars/Marvel movies? Rey was straight. I think all the Disney Princesses are straight or at least not sexually defined for the younger ones like Moana. Black Widow, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel are all straight for Marvel women. Who are the gay Disney chicks?

America Chavez is queer and has two lesbian parents.

You don't actually know or talk to a lot of women in real life, do you?

Women having a very high sex drive is pretty common.

Insane to me that it's over 4 years after the Fox purchase and there's still no immediate plans to use any of their properties other than Deadpool

That's not really weird considering we had a 2 year pandemic that pushed everything back.

^I'm not upset, maybe you're projecting.

But compared to the rest of this topic, which has been entirely, 'all these woke games have sold amazingly well' I merely pointed out a couple of woke games that were horrendous failures. If you want to make an argument, then you should look at all the evidence.

It seems like you missed the (obvious) point of this topic?

Didn't they start calling themselves TERFs to begin with?

By saying cis either can currently, or in the future, be a slur?

Again, CE assumes the worst. And benefit of the doubt never exists. So I should clarify.

Nobody agrees with Elon Musk. Were addressing a separate line of thought was my perception.

But that separate line of thought is irrelevant to the actual topic, so why even bring it up? The answer is: intellectual dishonesty.

cuttin_in_farm posted...

Is the use of homo always a slur when used?

When talking about a gay person, yes always. Which is why he was asked to provide examples of when "Cis" is used as a slur against heterosexuals and got nothing. It's also why I brought up his comments ignoring context. Nobody's confused by what he's trying to say. We're pointing out how it's irrelevant to this context and kind of silly/dumb.

cuttin_in_farm posted...

All he is saying is that you can not claim a word isnt a slur just because it has a reasonable definition.

Any word can be a slur if it is given connotation.

Homo is scientifically just the opposite of being hetero. But obviously we dont go around pretending homo cant be used as a slur.

Cis could be used as a slur. More often than not the claim of it being a slur is disingenuous. But still.

CE just assuming worst case intentions as usual however.

Except "homo" IS used as a slur. There's no "possible" there because it's an actual thing. "Cis" is not and doesn't get used that way, so if you're going to talk about "possibility" then that would apply to nearly every word. Which is not a smart way to view things.

R1masher posted...

Use it as a slur and its a slur

Dictionaries dont define words, use does

You mean this? Yeah, I covered that with this statement:

lolife67 posted...

Then your post is pretty meaningless in context. If all words can potentially be slurs then they should all be banned. Which would be pretty stupid, right?

So I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make?

R1masher posted...

right, sure

I'm honestly trying to have a dialogue with you. But if you're not interested then fine.

R1masher posted...

yeah, thats exactly what I said, thanks for not inferring something different and then putting words in my mouth or taking the high road and resort to name calling

Then your post is pretty meaningless in context. If all words can potentially be slurs then they should all be banned. Which would be pretty stupid, right?

It's because people like him think a slur is simply something people don't like being called. He is the type that would argue the "N word" is just a word. He'll ignore historical context and say dumb stuff like this. Too many people will agree with him.

What does "industry plant" even mean? Her fans aren't being forced to but her music or go to her concerts. Clearly she puts out a product the fans enjoy.

For a long time through my 20s/early 30s, I wore nothing but Polo from head to toe (including socks and drawers lol)

TyVulpine posted...

It's better to have those that have knowledge and experience to teach the younger crowd. Just because one is old doesn't mean they're no longer useful. A lot of old people are still sharp-minded and could run circles around you or me.

Which is why the elderly are supposed to advise, not govern.

I refuse to believe anyone actually likes black licorice lol that's clearly #1 and everything else comes after.

archizzy posted...

I would never judge anyone but only looking at myself it was only acceptable in my early 20s while I was in the military. Basically college age. Anything after that felt too old for me.

But I also thought living at home past 18 was too old. I moved out my senior year of high school when I was 17 because I wanted independence.

Everyone is different though.

I get that its hard, but honestly if you haven't gotten your s*** together by the time you hit 40 I am a bit concerned for you.

I agree with both of these stances.

Also, why are so many people thinking it's either have a roommate(s) or own a home?

So how do you know that doesn't mean "multiverse Wolverine?" Why are you just assuming it means... Same Wolverine, but before "Logan?" Please explain. Because for all we know, Deadpool 3 is a Wolverine who never even gets to the point of the movie "Logan."

We do know, from this supposed spoiler, that it's a multiverse Beast, so...

EDIT: For all we know, a large plot point of Deadpool 3 could be "Hey, Wolverine! Why the fuck aren't you dead?"

Ok I think I see the miscommunication on my part. I'm talking about a Logan that is younger, period. So basically using him prior to his death in Logan.

StealThisSheen posted...

We literally can't say that at all, because every Deadpool movie has taken place in the current age, and so, based on that continuity, we have zero idea why or how Jackman is in the movie. Maybe they do say "Oh, Logan happens way later." Maybe they say it's a multiverse Wolverine. Maybe they just say "Fuck Logan, we're ignoring it."

We have no idea. All we know is that they, purposely, cast an old ass Wolverine.

The set photos make it pretty obvious this isn't post-Logan. We've seen Jackman in costume and he wasn't aged up.

StealThisSheen posted...

How does Logan in Deadpool make perfect sense, considering he's dead?

Because this obviously takes place prior to him dying. Have you actually seen Logan? Jackman is clearly playing a younger version.

Logan also has direct connections to Deadpool, as characters via the X-Men, comics and previous Deadpool films. Beast had zero connection to Monica as a character.

StealThisSheen posted...

I feel like that's the point. Deadpool 3 has Hugh Jackman Wolverine, so I assume (again, if this teaser is real), that they want to build off of that, probably for a one off.

Logan in Deadpool makes perfect sense. Kelsey Grammar interacting with Photon like this makes zero sense.

To be fair I'm sure they did plan to follow up on this (outside of some random comic nobody read) but the Disney buyout killed those plans.

Bad example since he's actually the bad guy in the upcoming Captain America movie.

I mean...Jane is kind of dead though.

And she's not Thor in the comics, either.

Yes, this sounds 100% legit.

The MCU puts out two bad Thor movies, and no one bats an eye. The guy who made the best Thor movie puts out one bad Thor movie, and EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS!!

I know, right? These "fans" are so fickle lol it's the Internet, though. Most people lack critical thinking and just give knee jerk responses. So everything is either a 10/10 or 0/10. No in-between, no nuance.

You mean like an office? Yeah that could be interesting.

Sounds pretty boring, honestly. It needs a hook. Maybe film it in a different way than other sitcoms?

If I describe a scene from a music video could anyone here tell me about it.

Basically it was a hot woman, she was wearing black leather and had the members on puppet strings and she might have released the hounds on them as well.

The main problem with it is that it's a purposefully vitriolic and loaded term, generally lazily tossed around at any opportunity. Even though it's a phenomenon that can be talked about, the usage of that term muddies discussion or renders discourse impossible.

Can you give me examples where it's "tossed around" where it's not applicable? I see a few posters claim this but haven't ever actually seen it in practice.

This is why he has a cult of people who think he's a genius mastermind. Lol

Pretty much. It proves he's only considered a genius by stupid people.

darkace77450 posted...

He's speaking to his base, which is notoriously radicalized and violent. He's telling them Meadows is cowardly if he testifies against them while once again pushing the notion that he alone can save a doomed country.

Eh, that's a bit of a stretch imo, as far as claiming witness tampering. Definitely not something that could be pursued in any real fashion.

meatlesshotdogz posted...

And that just happened through dumb luck?

No. White supremacy/privilege.

meatlesshotdogz posted...

I dunno he hasnt been jailed for breaking a massive amount of laws and doing tons of illegal shit for decades

mastermind is a possibility

That's not due to some high level of planning on his part. He has A LOT of people running interference for him.

I'm not sure how that comment is Witness Tampering? It seems more like he's speaking to his base and giving them a reason/excuse not to believe the Meadows testimony means anything and blame it on the "Deep State."
