Topic | Michael B. Jordan In Talks to Play Superman |
lolife67 11/27/19 9:35:13 AM #95 | thanosibe posted... Just the same as you dont know that isnt their intent. Unless they make a public statement then yeah no one knows either way.Which is why we're saying making a declarative statement like "It reeks of pandering," is erroneous. And when asked why they think that, "Superman has always been white," isn't really an explanation. Basically, some people think that any time a character is race swapped, it's 100% done for pandering purposes. That's incorrect and a bit racist. |
Topic | Michael B. Jordan In Talks to Play Superman |
lolife67 11/27/19 9:18:11 AM #92 | thanosibe posted... If their intent for changing Clark Kent's skin color by having him portrayed by another non-white actor as a means to appeal directly to a specific demographic just by doing that and nothing else to character I would say that is the definition of pandering.Except you don't know that's their intent. MJB is a good actor and fairly popular. Casting him can just as easily be on merit. So saying "Making Superman black is pandering," isn't really proof since there are other reasons they could be doing it. |

lolife67 11/27/19 9:03:19 AM #84 | DarthAragorn posted... How is it not? Clark Kent is and always has been white.That's not really an explanation of how it's "pandering." It's become one of those words people seem to throw around without understanding what it actually means. |

Topic | I just do not understand why a black person would vote republican |
lolife67 11/24/19 11:30:17 AM #57 | Didn't Trump only get 6% of the black vote? How is that in any way showing were changing parties? While I do agree that a lot of black people are disillusioned by the Democrats, changing to the Republicans en masse isn't going to happen. We're more likely to just stop voting, period. |

lolife67 11/18/19 8:22:59 PM #18 | Itachi157 posted... Is it just a re-adaptation of the comic or a different original story based in the world? I'm only aware of the one comic the movie was based on so I guess there might have been more.It's an original story that takes place after the events of the comic. |

lolife67 11/12/19 5:57:45 PM #153 | supermichael11 posted... Imagine getting sick every month even sick in a month 3 times, that is sure to hinder any skills trying to gained. With age that will eventually deteriorate the body and the mind.The likelihood of that happening isn't great, though. That's an extreme situation, not the norm. Like I said, a few people having these issues, sure. But almost 70% of the posters voting? That's pretty surprising. My point is that if that many of you are that sickly, I'm genuinely shocked. |

lolife67 11/12/19 5:34:51 PM #150 | supermichael11 posted... There are things that money can't solve, so that is why I choose power. Heck with an extended life span imagine all the more time to achieve goals and dreams.What skill would you need immortality to learn? Skills take time. The reason most people don't have said time is due to having to work for a living and other duties that money absolutely WILL solve. And what things are you LIKELY to encounter in real life that $50 million dollars couldn't solve or at least vastly improve upon? |

lolife67 11/12/19 5:26:03 PM #148 | StealthRock posted... Elective surgery is actually fairly risky snd not very effective when it comes to weight lossDepends on the doctor you see. With $50 million, I can afford the very best. StealthRock posted... Not mention 50 mill doesnt go as far as one would think. If you start just 1 business you can easily burn through that pretty quicklyYou would have to be HORRIBLE at business to run through that much money on just 1 business. And why start a company to begin with? You can invest and live off the interest alone. StealthRock posted... Thats why i say the powers a priceless. Most billionaires would pay to have themI doubt "most" would give up all of their fortunes for it. The narcissists/selfish ones, sure. |

I just think that the odds are greater that I'll get more of a benefit out of the money than living forever. Hell, as sci-fi nerds we should know that immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be anyways. Friends/loved ones dying off, boredom, depression/suicidal thoughts, etc. |

lolife67 11/12/19 5:11:14 PM #140 | IloveJesus posted... When I was younger, I'd have agreed with that. However, having dealt with serious illness and injuries in the last decade or so, I'd take the powers. Being able to walk without pain would be worth a shitload to me.That's fair, however, I'm still pretty surprised that so many seem to be in the same situation (judging off the percentage voting for the powers option.) Are most people on this site that sickly?? And as an fyi, I'm 43 in case anyone thinks I'm just some young dude lol |

And even then, I get over it in about a day or so. Now when's the last time I could use $50 million? What time is it now? The_Ivory_Man posted... The last time you thought you were getting fat and thought about working out because of it?I'm gifted with a pretty good metabolism, so that isn't a concern. Even still, $50 million means you can have elective surgery and still have money to burn. The_Ivory_Man posted... Scared of getting tetanus or how about an STD?Lol no, why would I be? The_Ivory_Man posted... I can't believe people don't see the benefits of his powers.Not in comparison to $50 million, they really aren't. |

There are hundreds of statues and most don't even notice then nor care for their origin.The statues were meant to make black people remember "their place." Obviously they won't be as effective now but that was still their original purpose, as well as to instill a sense of pride in whites for their racism. |

Topic | The Watchmen show is getting review bombed cause it's 'too politically correct' |
lolife67 10/24/19 3:10:56 PM #52 | It being different than the original series isn't really a fair criticism. It takes place 3 decades later, so why would the same events be playing out with the exact same characters? It's still very clearly set in the Watchmen's universe and has a lot of nods to the events in the graphic novel, even in just the first episode. |
Topic | The Watchmen show is getting review bombed cause it's 'too politically correct' |
lolife67 10/24/19 2:11:19 PM #40 | AlecSkorpio posted... That's dumb though. The ending of the graphic novel was the world coming together against an alien threat. It would be weird that race issues would still be a thing, let alone real world issues.It's really not dumb, though. Look at real life and what happened with 9/11. Afterwards, the U.S. was pretty connected...for a time. After awhile, things went back to normal (and in some cases worsened.) The attack at the end of the GN was a one-time thing. Unless they continued to occur, humanity would naturally go right back to our usual forms of tribalism. It's in our nature. |

Topic | The Watchmen show is getting review bombed cause it's 'too politically correct' |
lolife67 10/24/19 10:32:47 AM #12 | KillerSlaw posted... The race slant is weird IMO, Watchman didn't have anything to do with race as far as I recall. It's been a long time since I read the comic or seen the movie though, so maybe I'm just forgetting? But race issues wasn't the thing I took away from the story.The original GN took place in the 80s so the political overtones were appropriaete for the times, i.e. nuclear War/WW 3 with Russia. The current series takes place in 2019, and so it's political overtones are based on this time period. BeyondWalls posted... Can we admit that movie was really overrated at the time and kind of garbage? Im not sure who really wanted a series after that?Well the HBO series is based on the comic, not the film. |

Topic | So at this point we just need to delete American history and hide all bad things |
lolife67 10/15/19 6:40:49 AM #40 | Renaming Columbus Day or taking down racist statues isn't anywhere close to "removing/erasing history." There are these things called "books" and "museums" where one can still learn about things. TC isn't being intellectually honest. The point is to not glorify/honor our horrific past, which is what monuments and holidays do. That's literally their purpose. |
