/re "Avengers: Doomsday trailer" not enough doom

 

I'm not asking they spell out the whole entire movie plot, but at this point they can't afford to be holding back as to what ppl are paying to watch, not even a little bit.

This isnt Infinity War, they cant afford to play the "stand together" speech type of trailer. 🫡

We are Waaaay past that😭😂 the last thing they need to be doing is be vague. 📌point being: needed more scenes of Doom, more Doom talking, ppl name dropping him-- the reason most ppl are seeing this clusterfuck. They were smart to end it with that thor/doom clash scene, very anime, but we needed more of that throughout. As long as these movies are gonna be, as long as we're made to wait for these trailers. they should have more than enough clips to spare. Even if it's just Vic standing in a room, staring at a fireplace ominously, give us more of something.

But that final clip is genius. Pure GIF bait, pure thumbnail.

I hope this movie and the next one succeeds. But they can't afford to be holding back, not now. We've done the superhero teamups, we know what that looks like. We Don 't need most of the trailer Be people meeting and doing the dramatic trailer photogenic looks---We like Thor, but we need more of the hook that he's talking about in the first place (allegedly Thor is talking about Doom, could be misdirection), even if it's just hearing pieces of his motivation or something from him directly. But I'm so glad they didn't ruin Dooms look, the mask looks great. Hood and everything⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

/re Jeremy Boreing Breaks Silence On Recent Drama | "Married men live longer" & the skill issue caveat

7:23 the married man life span thing is very real, it's part of the balance of the family unit that a woman's unique perspective fills in the gaps of an average man's tunnel-vision blind spots; however we really should be taking of oneself, wife or no wife.

Cause if godforbid circumstances claim her life early, then what? When time claims her, then what? If she leaves, then what? If she's a hot mess too that doesn't know how to eat proper also, then what?

Just the broad statistic of being married as a man means you'll 'likely' or 'tend to' live longer isn't an insurance policy, because at the end of the day: if you need a woman around just so you eat properly & sleep proper that's a skill issue.

If you already do and she enhances that, that's different. But a lot of people cite that fact of marriage with confident complacency, not realizing there's backhanded subtext attached to it.

re/ Mamdani Thought "Banning A/Cs" Worked... UNTIL NYC WENT DARK | Socialism works better as a containable mechanism or program than as a governing system

soc-commie systems redistributes resources because it produces & builds nothing and maintains even less than that; Socialism & equity mechanisms works best as programs under capitalism & meritocracy. Why? Same reasons why movements like Feminism work best when under patriarchal systems that provides them capital & resources to even use for their goals.

Those resources don’t just come out of thin air. Capitalism atrophies but it produces, competition drives the machine Vs socialism, like matriarchy is a connective glue but consumes itself into implosion. It atrophies without the production to compensate for it.

Capitalism very scarcely works on it’s own because it drains yet produces to supplant the drain. 

 But neither matriarchy or socialism are designed to run the program perpetually when it produces nothing but ideals, feelings based goals without the tools to do anything; promises and no production. 

At least not on the level of macro-society. Which is why they don’t pioneer U.S.A’s--- that equity & socialism shit shows up AFTER the harder work is done; funny how that works, right?

 

Only small scale flexible ecosystems is where that equity schtick works, socialism works best as public services or welfare nets— just like matriarchy is what keeps communities together; it doesn’t build empires.

Roles & norms exist for a reason. And that rings true even if the rigidity of roles intimidates people, not everything is subjective or interchangeable or ambiguous; why? because that is NOT how you got this far. 

The declines didn’t start until people got cocky & started challenging and abolishing everything. Yet the new norms that causes supposed “loneliness epidemics” & women’s “burnout”, the very egalitarian-relationships that satisfy not as many as you'd think/ that equitable system that does NOT work by itself (like socialism) THOSE norms don’t get challenged.

Matriarchy is optimized under patriarchy. The “everyone matters”, everyone’s a winner, that very maternal concept of “equity” & “collectivism”, that feelings oriented ideal sounds best on paper until it has to prove it’s worth.

Right up until it runs out of the resources the patriarchal/capitalist/ the production based system made available in the first place. Including the very country capitalism made possible in the first place.

• The socialism, like matriarchy, like egalitarianism are patchworks to compensate capitalist/patriarchal oversight. No more, no less.

This is precisely why rich American socialists stay over there with the silver spoon in their mouths instead of going to the socialist countries that’s doing what they want already. They stay their asses right there in America because they like the idea of being rebels simultaneously as patriarchy feeds them.

One redistributes and disseminates resources, the other produces and actually builds something. You don’t have to choose one or the other, socialist programs already exist (Gov. Funded food assist, EBT, child support etc. Tax funded programs, that- in spirit: welfare programs do lean on collective resource pooling, which emulates socialist-esque mechanisms.

[”But when the distribution mechanisms try to become the engine—when a macro-society tries to run purely on “everyone’s a winner,” equity, and feelings-oriented ideals—it begins to consume the stored capital.”]

Getting rid of patriarchy is not the new frontier western people think it is, when all you’ve known your entire privileged lives is patriarchy’s provision. It’s not worth it. 

TL;DR Mom has good intentions but can't back it up, Dad gets results but sometimes leaves people behind; there's no reason why those two realities can't work together to make a civilization & not assume Dad has to "step aside" & let mom run the show after you think you're safe enough to not need him anymore. Delusional. 

Take your engine out of your car because you think you're far enough down the road to where you don't need it anymore, and see how much further you get to your destination without the component that got your ass on the road in the first place. 🧠Socialism & Equity are luxuries, not essentials. Egalitarianism is at minimum, a patch, not an upgrade. Because for the last time, those concepts do not show up until AFTER the harder work's been done to make a superpower a superpower. 

And when your country's in decline, all those latter (maternal in principle) concepts seem to be more prominent.👈👈👈

That's not indicative of them being inherently bad, nor are they inherently necessary given what was done without their prominent involvement or perhaps- keyword: Perhaps: what was accomplished because they were excluded. 

But that late stage alignment is not by accident.

/re " Lavar Ball DIVORCE Is PROOF Modern Marriage Is a SCAM!" | It's not women, it's their movements that's the issue

 Yes! correct on the incentive point 9:24 if people got a fine for quitting they'd stop doing it as much, fact is there's a reward for destroying marriages, mainly women doing it. Women's emotions fluctuate & some women see dysfunction as an evolutionary advantage but you have to keep in mind that the culture doesn't raise women to see monogamy as stability but a limitation, a ceiling instead of a threshold to a new venue of living. They're raised with an "autonomy" / I, Me, Myself, Me, Autonomy, Me,: mindset. That Former Mrs.Ball left likely because she felt bored, complacent, in his shadow probably & leaving was her gaining "agency" or some crap. Perhaps she didn't feel like she had enough part to play in the childrens outcome, perhaps he was a control freak about it.

Otherwise: "agency" is the usual cult dogma that's been drilled into their minds. We don't know her reasons, we're not in her head, but as a general rule this is the fetish dogma western women are brainwashed to obey like slaves, it's the modern rigid norm, but no one's supposed to challenge that norm even though it's hurting women's longterm interests. Women were told to trade patriarchy for egalitarian socio-political gain & career enslavement; they traded nuclear unit norms for the norms that burn them out, leaves them isolated & lonely because most men will sleep with them but don't take them seriously or respect them because of toxic internet culture that just drives the two further apart either through the media disrespecting men, more gaslights & enabling female resentment of men. Or malecentric echo chambers feeding male resentment of women. People talking past each other, fetishes, distractions etc. Or the good men they get, they run away for "self-preservation", there's always a term given to them to justify being the weakest link of civilization and frame it like a sovereignty crisis. Always a victim, hence why they'll never be taken seriously as equals or peers, if you're not held accountable, you're not perceived as an equal or an authority. Apparently not even by womens own women's movements. Women always have an excuse framed like an existential ultimatum and if you challenge that then you must be a misogynist.🤓🙄 *It's not women's fault that they aren't taught to be wives in the first place. Men have to realize that.* You have to, that's the part that's left out in this "American/Modern Woman" meme. Women are listening to someone's narrative, Even listened to the snake, women either obey norms that help them, or norms that will destroy them. Just because the ideals are coming from Feminism, doesn't mean they're not rigid norms. And keep in mind this is a basketball wife, not some southern bell from the rural south who was raised to be a real woman and raises the quality of her husband because she is quality. Aka The lost legend of the "Matriarch". Let's not confuse the two, there's way too many sub-countries within the one nation of The U.S.A to broadbrush women as a homogenous group. Is it majority? Arguably. But not all of em. I will agree with OP that the best American women to marry haven't been born yet, or more likely: Are dead already. Either pick your meet spots better or just go abroad with tampered expectations, because modernity has infected the entire planet in one way or another. And the quality of men in America aren't exactly 9 out of 10s either. This is just the era you've been dealt. And it's not all on women, it's mainly on their alleged "movements" that don't get held accountable for what they're telling women, & warping their expectations of life and men. Only then to blame men when the egalitarian, socialist, female-centric ways don't work because they're not and have never been efficient.

The Incredibles (2004) Movie Reaction Mashup - When reactors pay attention to the nuance

 

That homie made a good observation the bob's acknowledging what he did wrong in the imprisonment chamber as Violet got them out simultaneously, didn't demean him when it easily could've & these days? Likely would've been written to do just that likely uncutting his monologue as a joke or something, especially with Helen reinforcing her own agency in the situation telling Dash not to interrupt him, that little detail is so good vs just sitting there passively & listening until Violet does her thing, everyone in those few seconds had something to do, Violet acted, Bob came full circle on his arc, Dash noticed Volet, Helen reinforced Bob's moment. Everyone had a part. That man is paying attention to the writings nuance, much appreciated. And agreed. 1:31:15 could barely make him out over the others but he voiced exactly what that scene worked. the guy on the 2nd row on bottom, 2nd left box

Supergirl Critic Reviews NUKE James Gunns Last Chance | Supergirl "go her own way"

2:09 Outside of the film, lets be real::: For Kara to go her own way is to retcon the cousin connection or just retcon her entirely from a universe that has a Superman already, or turn her into a Superman villain, or turn her into either Supermans daughter (Superman: secret identity) & he steps down, depowers with age, goes missing or dies honorably-- which technically is nepo still, but thats a way more organic torch pass, than a miracle survivor cousin which trivializes Kal surviving at all (And I STAND by that because it's 100% facts). 

And a daughter being trained by Superman, Batman & WW displays she earns the mantle.

Vs the cousin just being handed the suit being of family ties, aka nepotism.

 Or the DCAU route which was unintentionally better because STAS couldn't use Kara Zor-EL legally at the time so they just made her "In Ze" as a work around and that ended up being better anyway.

Kara can NOT go her own way getting by on nepotism. She can NOT go her own way wearing the same costume aesthetic, doing the same thing just with an edgy attitude or that cutesy cali-girl  vibe, or the rough girly big sister schtick or the powergirl gimmick. Or whatever Woman of Tomorrow caught itself trying to do. 

Just gimmicks, gimmicks, & another stock Kara Zor- El finds herself for the thousandth time filler arc. No substance. No purpose.

She's likeable, but her concept is likeable garbage. 

I say this on every video on Kara Bore-El Disparu does that I happen to be on because it's true: The movie was doomed to be cheap, not bad, not the worst but weak knees because that reflects the character.

*To improve Supergirl is to rewrite the character entirely, DC & WB refuse to do that, they instead double-down and so--- this will keep happening.* 

Not if the film had the guts, but if DC had the guts. But perhaps there's truth in that, because if the film did go that route, the comics would likely follow. Either way, the pivot has to start somehow.

She will never represent anything feminist when her namesake & stake is because of who she knows. Not what she's done. And the most significant thing she's ever done, twice was sacrifice herself, and it got undone; trivialized. Both times. 

When if that was kept intact, she'd be immortalized, because both sacrifices were actually pretty moving, and that's coming from me.

When a manchild spoof of Superman (Prime) has a better character arc than Supergirl, while having a similar tragedy & origin parallel to hers, and far less material given to actually be a character vs a mascot; he's leagues more insufferable yet somehow has a more staple cult presence & nuance (and i use that lightly) than she ever did but she's the one that keeps getting chances, because of relation, not depth or global significance; Kara needs a rework, badly.

It has less to do with feminism & the actress, and everything to do with what you're adapting. Avatar The Last Airbender was plenty feminist, and that didn't stop it from owning.

2:09 There's a difference between scorning an audience that could have supported, or a movie of a character that has a fanbase, but no audience or meaningful significance in the first place. There's a difference. 

Can't blame it all on politics or optics, not all of it; the material is just dry af. 

If they made an adaptation of Kara's DC Nuclear Winter story, people would love it. Why? Because it's a moving story. I'd sooner recommend people read that than Woman of Tomorrow.

 

/re HE-MANBABY- MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE Inspires The Biggest Man-Baby | False Equivalences and Too Much Info

   10:28 That's a false equivalence, basically being gaslighted to letting go of your hobbies sooner than you would have organically has nothing to do with this extreme reaction from this guy. 

What this guy is doing is a very performative, or maybe he's a hundred percent dead Serious, but this is not an average reaction no more than the ppl overhyping this movie or nay-saying its quality because of box office. (its a solid movie, saw it twice)

This is a guy with a platform and a megaphone, who knows He's going to be listened to, just like the contrasting camp.

So the personal story is kind of mixed 10:28 , "Growing up" aka caving because someone attacked your tastes isnt growing up, its capitulating.

I would say the exact same If one mocked whatever the girls liked at the time that they likely still like now, or maybe they grew into tastes in their adult years that are actually very childish. 

Ladies do so plenty with their romantic novels and fic writing, or blogs taking up whole pages shipping characters, self inserts, age play--- grown women btw with jobs. 

Adopting Ocs and junk like they're 13yrs old still. Am I going to make a 5000 character article or a 10-20m in on that because someone said something I dont like about a movie? No, im good.

 

 Point being: kinda more of a waste of time than a kid in 6th grade doodling. 👶It's a false equivalence.

Should they grow up because you shamed them out of liking something? and that's coming from me, the accountability guy. But there's a difference between persecution and accountability. What those girls did was persecution. they weren't holding you accountable because they wanted to help or even less likely because they saw untapped potential. Which a lot of women perceive even that young. The question is "motive?"

When you selectively put what you like into a subcategory of immaturity because someone else convinced you not to like what you like, when what they did in the first place>>>>⛔️ was immature⛔️<<<<, or likely intimidated that you had a passion for anything in your life or you had the audacity to openly display it, that was you getting played brotha. 

So I get why rich made that example. The correlation is to not be so married to childish things that you become like that other guy. I agree with that.

Yet those girls saw a target and took their shot,  if you wanted to recontextualize that or even at minimum, you saw the good in what they did despite how they did it, cope or no cope, that's fine; but from what the data you provided, don't turn it into something It wasn't after the fact just to fit that into this. 

Example:  someone made fun of that guy's tastes and instead turned him into what we're seeing right now. It depends on who you're dealing with, just mocking someone's interests isn't helping them.

Good on Op For looking at the glass half full vs declaring war on all women because of that experience, but I would take the lesson but without rationalizing it.

 But that has less to do with the example you gave, cause its a stretch. because that growing up together sentiment is all fine and good. but if how what they did wouldn't work both ways. Then how they did it was a problem in the first place.

Essentially rationalizing being gaslighted out of ones own interest, that's where he loses me, we're not talking about a fetish that you would be better off without. We're talking about a simple pop culture staple for its era. 

Because while this stuff is made for kids, I could say the same thing about avatar the last airbender, does that change the fact that it's a timeless classic for all ages, or that it completely narratively annihilates tv  shows and animated projects that are air quotes more "mature" just in terms of writing.

Or the fact that adults wrote and made the content in the first place? so what do we really saying when we use that talking point? 

What is it being made for kids have to do with anything?

I know a grown ass woman right now. Running her own business, sits down and watch the berenstain bears Because she likes the music. She likes the characters. She likes the healthy family dynamics. She even likes the setting itself. How relaxing it is, messages. Because technically, that show is made for a lower age bracket. Same with MLP, she binges that joint. 

Despite having a nice phone, She will sit in the day room and watch it on full display. 

Should I shame her And mock her for liking it as a grown woman, because technically, it isn't mature?  despite the fact that i've asked plenty of questions and have stood by through plenty of episodes myself personally and was frankly impressed with what I saw from memes to pacing & themes.

• But because of the age bracket and my idea of peers maturing together, because I'm either intimidated by the fact that she's open about it, or I feel some type of way because she has a passion for something and is open about it, or I have to adhere her to how I do things when what she's doing isn't a dysfunctional fetish behavior---- the question becomes, what was my motivation in the first place versus how she would rationalize what I did about her hobby in order to cope with it.
• It's technically more normal for a minor to be doodling a fav IP versus violent tendencies because he has no hobbies or a grown ass woman watching children shows aimed for tots and kids.

Strictly: Thats if we wanted to be consistent to that train of logic.

TL;DR that raging guy in the video either has emotional regulation issues or one heckuva character to play for his content and those young ladies back then needed to mind their own business. 👈🗿

/re " People Are Calling Absolute Batman Woke Garbage" | why is it mostly blackwashing tho? why no Norwegians or Mongolians?

 it's just such a weird fetish that they don't turn anyone indian or polynesian or spanish or mongolian or Japanese Okinawan or Norwegian (a caucasian? HISSssss); there's so many shades of the human identity ethnically to tap into, but it's always gotta be bland black african american, usually black female. That specifically is interesting, it's so bizarre. And they do nothing with that background, absolutely nothing warranting the change, because most of these creatives know NOTHING of the ethnic background to use in the first place. But they like the reactions from the swap. Just a base level DLC skin swap. 100% shallow.

That's not enough to ruin the entire book, but it says a lot about the writer that gimmicks matter more than substance. Could've made Barb a failed P.I or something, and her arc is becoming a realized detective & hacker through trailing Batman.

Something. From what I saw and remember, there was nothing of Barb worth intrigue in that issue worth talking about beyond the unnecessary swap & what says most about the writer: is that was likely the point.

"Imnotkenneth Just Addressed the Allegations" | Females will be females fallacy

so they do the same thing but he holds it against the dude more, because he's the man. 

As opposed to the woman being what, not an adult? Or an Adult 2nd class license+ allowance to be burden without adult consequences (lifetime warranty).

See, this is, exhaustingly: is why so many women/ or at minimum: too many women, act like children with the confidence we will treat them like babies, aka a lower behavioral standard because girls will be girls. Or as the Black community puts it in othering fashion :::: "Females". 

Which says what about women? 

So condescending and disrespectful. This is how you treat a dependent you tolerate, not an equal. Ideally, you shouldn't even be this dismissive with your own children, in fact.

Yes, women need to vent more than men on average (also depending on personality) as part of the coping mechanism of a situation they perceive as overwhelming, but that's what actual social networks like friends & family are for and women are not the only ones who need to vent. 

• And even then, LTG is right that some things don't need to be said, but that applies to women too. The Internet is not their marital companion, and yet that's exactly how women treat an intangible, cold, unfeeling, biased, coddling feedback loop. It's unhealthy and for women specifically, it's dangerous because it becomes a dependency. 
• Same with men regarding porn, hyper-aggressive predation like Doxx or Swatting, troll culture and fetishism. It's a high.

POV: She's a female, but He should know better, because he's a man. 

Excuse you, what? 

Tl;Dr Can't respect women as peers and then infantilize them as if it's expected that they act like idiots. Nor can you treat them like that & then complain about the quality of women in the pool being poor, when you're part of the problem.

Can't have both. 

I like these longer form videos, but I can always count on LTG pull this crap every single time. It's insufferable.
