| Topic | Should billionaires exist? |
| Mech_Battalion 01/13/22 12:46:22 PM #58 | Umbreon posted... There's no honest way to have that much money. This is a common misconception that money = evil. My great grandfather came over to the US and started a hardware and electric supplies company, helped unionized workers and was one of the nicest people in the world. His other grandkids carried on the family business, kept it in fully legal standing, spun off other companies that helped buy and renovate classic buildings and resell them at a loss just because they were historical to their town. You hear a lot about the famous billionaires because they have broken the law, done horrible things and tainted an image of having money. Rest assured there are plenty of rich people who care about people, donate a ton of money and do things to help their community. But nobody wants to hear 'local billionaire builds animal rescue shelter and donates enough money to keep it staffed and non-profit for 10 years" because it doesn't make that person sound evil at all. You only hear about the bad ones because bad news sells. |

| Topic | Prince Andrew loses all military and royal titles |
| Mech_Battalion 01/13/22 12:31:29 PM #8 | Oh no, people have to stop calling him Your Royal Highness, that is like the ultimate low for any prince. He needs to be on suicide watch in his mansion, can he still afford to pay his 50 servants the equivalent of $5 an hour to keep him company?? |

| Mech_Battalion 11/09/21 2:44:17 PM #16 | The CGI was terrible. Pip The Troll looked like he belonged in Space Jam as a cartoon character. The script was astonishingly bad. Every exposition dump is followed by someone else going 'So What You're Saying Is' and then there are plot holes every 5 minutes, basically if someone speaks they go against what was said only a few minutes before. Then you have the time jumps, but none of the eras we see actually matter. They could have done cool things with events through history, but no we just get random dates throughout time to just be boring backdrops to dump more exposition. The acting was fine, the directing was fine but really the plot, effects and script were just bad. It's deserves a C for sure. Shang Chi was much better. I'd have given Shang Chi a B. Eternals felt too much like a young adult novel adapted into a movie like Maze Runner or Divergent. It felt shoddy, and the casting of Harry as Thanos's brother is like a bad gimmick to get teen girls interested. Marvel movies used to feel like they were made for adults to be able to enjoy them, not anymore. We will never get anything heavy like Civil War, Endgame, or Winter Soldier again. |

| Mech_Battalion 11/09/21 2:33:27 PM #72 | Sorry, but no. The caption is stupid and wrong for all sorts of reasons. Let's discuss the road less traveled of issues here. NOBODY WANTS TO GET MARRIED THE SAME DAY AS THEIR BEST FRIEND. That isn't BFF goals, friendships are LOST the day someone decided to even sneeze on someone else's wedding day. |

| Mech_Battalion 11/09/21 2:30:54 PM #15 | No, it sucked and made no sense. The mission of The Eternals was really to grow the population. Why? What did the population do that helped grow the celestial in the planet? I get that Earth is an egg, but how does having people or even just living beings on it help grow the being inside of it? Also, they say they didn't help stop Thanos because he wasn't a threat, but the guy wiped out half the population, which seems to be a detriment to their main goal. Even if only the two Eternals knew the truth about their mission at the time, you would think they would get the OK to help out because he is removing half the population of the galaxy, not just earth. It affected EVERY PLANET, EVERY 'EGG' with a celestial in it. Last thing, so like how does the celestial know when to hatch? Is that one last baby born so the population hits 8 billion or something and then he is full and ready to be born? Also, that massive hand and head coming out of the earth would have caused catastrophic activities on the planet. So many earthquakes alone, shifting the plates would have caused tsunamis and tectonic shifts that would have devastated the planet. That too made no sense. |
