“at least get you spoilers right, my dude”.

would you say I was factually incorrect?

You tell me. You talked like being so sure about it.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

you still don't even understand my criticism

I know that they explain that's dangerous technology in the movie

the point is that's ridiculous astronomical power creep from movie one, when you introduce an element into your world saying "this is possible" it is now always possible at any point in the future, so either you have to retcon it gone ("the holdo maneuver was one in a million") or largely pretend it never happened because the consequences are too inconvenient to storytelling, like Marvel's 5-year blip

you're trying to say pocket universes aren't going to be a problem in future movies because they say it's dangerous so it's definitely just confined to this movie, at the end of the film lex turns to the camera and says "I've sure learned my lesson, I won't ever make a pocket universe again, not ever"

But we know it's a thing you can do which threatens to destroy all of earth, so now in the future when some villain hates humanity and wants to destroy earth and starts doing some convoluted thing, we have to ask, "why doesn't he just make an unstable pocket universe? that sure seems like an easy path to world destruction"

this is just one example, maybe they'll thread the needle and it will never be an issue, but the entire point is that it is not a strong start because it steps off the starting line already introducing wild shit which all future writers for this shared universe will have to contend with

I understand your criticism but I’m saying is, right now, cinema sins level of criticism. Because until we get the other films we don’t know how they are using this stuff if any. 

Going to repeat myself saying that I don’t really care about shared universes, so whatever someone uses it or not in other DCU stuff is not my concern. And I don’t think it’s a bad element to have because there is good comic stories that used this stuff good and wisely. The comic industry is dying because the over reliance of events, publicity stunts and everything being in line with the shared universes, rather than actually doing good stories. Having silly ridiculous stuff is not the impenetrable part, but that understand what is going on you need to read shit you are not interested rather than those stories being interesting on their own and making feel the world more alive.

 It sucked in Star Wars because it was supposed to tell a coherent and planned story. They didn’t and it shows. But we know that wasn’t the only reason why those films sucked and bad writing goes beyond “danger hair lady destroys a fleet with warp magic”.

If anything, I also think Gunn is making a mistake in making everything interconnected as that is going to create audience fatigue like with Marvel, but I don’t care as long as the individual stuff is good, when stuff goes Iron Man 2 is when I will be first to shit on it. Just saying that stuff like pocket universes doesn’t kill the film to me and it sounds that neither for the general audience.

See, you guys are like SO full of shit and completely wrong.  The mistake you guys are making is that the Zach Snyder supercut is a metaverse unto itself, per se, and it's not a multiverse, per se.  Like, that's not the Snydercut we're talking about right now...and that's where it all goes wrong.   Like you're fucking out of your fucking mind with this garbage right now.  There's the multiverse timeline and the Gunn-timeline and then there's the crossover timeline with the Infinity Saga supercut (which really is a mega-edit that claims to preserve the original canon of the Kang multifuck-verse, but we don't have to go there).  I mean there's a reason the box office is rewarding the Snydercut and not the Feig-canon cut.  Just watch the post-credits and you'll see how the timeline realities coalesce into one giant supercut where Thanos gets circumcised by infinity stones (Reality?  Chaos?  Time?)  .  And seriously, go start a pod or a mutual aid org or something.  Get the fuck off the Russo Brothers cocks for two seconds.  This is embarrassing.

[Boredfrom]

The thing is that doing Multiverse stuff is potentially more destructive because you get shit like “Tony Stark is back as Doctor Doom.” Or “ant man just defeated one variant of Kang, not the competent ones”. Or “member Spider Man and Fox’s Marvel films?”. 

The fact that they are insisting or making Fantastic Four and The X-Men part of alternate universes sucks because it was not what people originally wanted with the shared universe stuff, but at least the FF film will try something different if only because they want to attract people.

Then don’t encourage Uncle for doing “tell me if I’m wrong  ” rhetoric trap.

Coward parents are afraid to be strict or have serious conversations with their children and run to legislate morality instead.

Sounds like this user isn't a parent.

He suggests building things which is also what I've been suggesting for years now.

Well, when I refer to "building things," I don't just mean national infrastructure (although we need more of that) but social systems and organizations meant to educate and demonstrate to people about more humane ways of living. Kwane True said that "When King went somewhere, he did some speeches and left. When Malcolm went somewhere, he built a mosque."

Like, just the way the right organizes- by getting off their asses to create groups that are united by a single goal and go off to agitate for a cause- is something we should be emulating. And I don't want to hear the excuse about money. Black people organize but ain't ever had a lot of money.

That MAGA Mom group that was going around for awhile in the news crying about school curriculums was literally just a fucking Facebook group whose members started meeting in real life. That's it.

I'm not saying that there is inherently no overlap between the capitalist class and right wing groups. Of course there is. I'm saying that angry conservatives, just normal ass white folks, will show up to school board meetings. They go to the gun and hunting clubs. They go to bar. They go to each other's houses.

They touch grass.

People need to get off Era more, get off Bluesky more, get off TikTok more, and interact with people. Start a neighborhood pod. Go to mutual aid. Join an organization.

You mean like... this? https://democrats.org/

Or even: https://www.gp.org/

[benji]

"Organize y'all."

"Here is a large powerful organization that shares many of your goals and is asking for basically no effort on their behalf."

"Nah, they don't agree with me on everything so they can fuck off, all our problems are their fault."

And scene.

y'all need to be banished to the comic book thread

nothing worse than seeing a bunch of chuds crying about man baby movies when the rest of us are tryin to build a progressive community here together

Maybe Marvel fans aren't so bad after all.

Don't fall for Rodrigo's Zionist hasabra talking points like Nazi supporter Jeff, look at the very first sentence of this part:


If you can't condemn Zionism then you're for genocide. Olivia Rodrigo just showed her ass to the whole world and it's covered in the blood of children.

B-dubs is cooked? Y'all still using the website. Gaming side makes up the majority of the userbase and they don't give a fuck about whatever fat4all and the rest of them care about.

Who runs a successful forum is making money off microsoft ads during a genocide and who is the one having cyber sex with melody?

Easy to see who the winner is.

Dude's got an n-word pass and gets to sexually assault underlings, more like B-Chad amirite.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

since fat4all is part of the TransEra agenda any reasonable person will side with b-dubs the last bastion of white cis male power.

Yes, let the socialist wave happen dems. Stop being cry babies about it.

He's arguing against it with that abundance crap, like it's not rules. Capitalism is standing in the way of builds because supply constraints are good for capital.

I like the way Ruth Wilson Gilmore frames it as organized abandonment, the state and capital are intertwined to make it more difficult for pro state policies to happen but anti state policies can get moved through hastily. This is most obviously seen in the form of prisons, or currently Alligator Alcatraz and a new bloated ICE budget.

Seems like Abundance doesn't want to target Capital as the source of this problem but instead target the regulatory structures that Capital exploits for profit. The problem with Abundance is acting like the state and capital aren't intertwined and working in tandem to profit seek. Which is why you have to grab at the root if you want to fundamentally tackle the problem.

Also, in what world are supply constraints good for capital?
