This is basically like the Snyder Cut right?

Not at all. It's a completely new/different film, including plot, characters, setting, etc.

It's closer to being a sequel, if anything.

I don't think box office numbers will mean much for the forseeable future with movies having simultaneous premieres on streaming services and a sizeable portion of the population still not ready to return to theaters.

This. It's hard to say what should now be considered a flop/bomb.

I dont think youre being honest here. The most anyone did was post a paragraph summarizing what CRT is. The platitudes and off base insults with which people responded hardly met anything. Im 100% open to the idea that Im wrong and would readily change my mind if presented with a convincing argument, but no one is trying any harder than I am. At one point someone said theyre in grad school. Thats it. Didnt even bother to mention studying what. Im just supposed to be convinced by the fact that theyre in graduate school. Im probably not the smartest guy in the room or even close to it, but youre kidding yourself at this point. Post 80 was pretty reasonable, I thought.

How can anyone present a convincing argument against something you still haven't stated? I and others have asked you a few times to specify what exactly you find wrong with CRT but you haven't really done so. You've been very vague and deflecting.

AloneIBreak posted...

So if I find a critic with more education than you, youll concede that theyre right? Or do you think being in school is what defines an expert?

We specifically asked you what you find fault with it and you have yet to answer.

And what they posted wasn't just someone's opinion on CRT, it was a literal definition of it. So you'd need to find a course synopsis that refutes what was posted to be on equal footing.

AloneIBreak posted...

Imagine reducing the whole of CRT and all its proponents/writers to a single paragraph. Thats as much as youve read on the subject, isnt it?

I shudder to think that I would ever find myself in unquestioned agreement with any social theory.

The theory itself takes criticism into account, hence it being called a "theory." The people taking a course on CRT will debate it's merits. That's literally one of the purposes of it.

AloneIBreak posted...

I dont take umbrage with any of that.

But if I may, is there anything about CRT that any of you would challenge or criticize?

No because it's a thought exercise taught, primarily, to people in law school. And given the history of this country, it seems a good thing to examine how laws may be formed and their connection (if any) to systemic racism. What would there be to criticize?

Shezarr posted...

Exactly, so my question to @AloneIBreak is exactly what part of that he thinks deserves criticism?

AloneIBreak posted...

The occasional hostility towards science and objectivity are the only things that really bother me. I also think CRT inserts race in some places where class is probably more important, but Ive been wrong before.

Ok what are you talking about, specifically? What science/objectivity is being refuted? And what places is race being inserted where class is more important? You're being kinda vague here and I'd like to actually discuss it.

AloneIBreak posted...

Im exaggerating a little, but the progressive left. Its an idea they wont challenge at all. When is the last time you saw someone who calls themselves progressive question anything CRT teaches? Maybe were just exposed to wildly different progressives, but Ive never seen it online or in person.

What exactly do you think CRT teaches that should be criticized?

When she was on the Grammys

Since when do kids watch the Grammy's? They aren't the primary target audience.

Yeah it's kinda weird that date rape legend Cardi B got praised for singing to kids about her vagina

When did she ever sing to children?

Also this wasn't a CW show for it's first season, so there's that.

False.

Dude, you still pretending like you actually watched the 80s show? Lol ok...

Bass_X0 posted...

They had to be good shows to be able to sell the toys.

That's not at all true lol kids' standards aren't very high when it comes to that sort of thing, especially in the 80s.

cuttin_in_farm posted...

Yo, is this true? Because my respect goes up if so.

It's true. Her brand is pretty famous due to how they conduct business and promotion of body positivity (yes, including plus size male models.)

fuck, dating sucks. gotta keep going out to places you don't wanna, buying shit, trying your best to look nice, thinking of things to say and then just randomly spitball random shit throughout the night, taking them back home, etc

it all sucks

Yeesh! Thankfully, this isn't most people's experience.

Im a DaBaby fan. He earned being dropped. When all you rap about is how good you are at getting money but then let something like homophobia fuck up your money. Lol. Take that L.

Agreed.

"Most men" complaining about Teela's looks would take any woman that would have them. They would never even get the opportunity to turn down someone that looks like her.

ClunkerSlim posted...

Its not a gotcha to anyone but you. Its crystal clear to everyone else. Im just trying to get you to see it.

How about use your words to be explicit? I asked you a direct question and you deflected. What, specifically, makes you say Teela's a lesbian?

ClunkerSlim posted...

Korras not a lesbian! Her and Asami are friends!

Considering I actually could see those two growing closer and wasn't surprised by them ending up together, your attempt at a "gotcha" is a failure. Try again maybe?

ClunkerSlim posted...

They were definitely trying to pull in an audience with the new Teela,

What are you basing this on, exactly? They directly talk about how Teela feels about Adam/He-Man. There's no sexual/romantic moments between Teela and Andra.

Questionmarktarius posted...

Or, you know, that one episode back in the 80s...

Lol well I was speaking about them specifically referring to things from this current series.

ClunkerSlim posted...

Id like to know what CEs gay community thinks about the accusations that this show is queer baiting. Basically the belief that Teela is being presented as gay, but Mattel isnt brave enough to let her officially come out. So in an attempt to rope in an LGBQT audience they actually trapped Teela in the closet and did the opposite of empowering.

The only people I've seen say she's a lesbian are basing it on her haircut and being buff, which is stupid. Of course these are also the people complaining about it due to "SJW/wokeness" so they aren't the smartest group.

I never heard of a Falcon movie but maybe it makes sense? I'd prefer it if they just made him Captain America and dropped the Falcon name.

His new film is going to be the fourth Captain America and Sam IS Captain America now.

Actually watching the most recent season as we speak. Wanted to binge from the beginning but no streaming service has them up. But I know enough about the series/characters to pick it up.

I like it, though. The actors all have pretty good chemistry and it gives me the action fix I want.

Also really enjoyed NCIS: New Orleans, which I just finished binging last week.

I mean...he's not wrong here.

Nice! I plan on going next year for my girlfriend's birthday. Might do part of Italy, too.

How many athletes is that?

Not sure but since she's not just a role model to athletes and this (mental health) isn't simply an athletic issue, that's pretty irrelevant to the point.

AngelsNAirwav3s posted...

She also shouldnt be treated as some hero either because she decided to sit the bench.

Considering how many people ignore their mental health (and pay the price), I'm going to disagree with you here.

I'm pissed because I can't watch due to the Olympics smh I feel like this was a set-up.
