He’s just trying to one up his mentor.

I don’t really know. I operate under the assumption that my phone is always a piece of spyware and minimize what’s actually on it or what it can hear.

Stane was the main villain of IM1. Hammer was one of the villains of IM2. Stark was an oligarch, but that’s part of his character arc. He wasn’t a good person in the beginning. That’s the point.

As far as Minecraft and other popcorn flicks being bad for the industry, those types of movies have always existed.

It was so stupid. Especially considering in real life an American oligarch in such a situation would do everything to not rock the the boat and exploit his American citizenship and financial status to get released (either via an exchange or giving the Taliban lots of money).

It’s a super hero movie. Tony Stark is an idealized futurist. You’re oligarchs in the franchise are Justin Hammer or Obadiah Stane.

It was a Disney villain death. Nothing more. It was a dark moment, but was there to highlight the difference between the naive Superman and the more cynical Heroes. Superman would have dragged him to the Hague, but does Hawkgirl even know about that? I would like to see something like that going forward in the series, but it makes sense now.

Yes. Yes it does.

Or more accurately, they can’t search your phone without you knowing with GrapheneOS, so they have to get a judge to force you to willing unlock it.

NYC’s greatest act was tricking everyone into thinking it’s a progressive city. I am interested in Mamdani at least.

Or an old laptop.

Will exArm get a new season?

It is in the context of Covid 19 and the people who think it’s all a scam. We can joke about insulin prices being a scam, but people don’t think diabetes was created in a lab, even though engineers did create all the high sugar, high salt foods.

It sounded like a joke about Big Pharma overcharging for the vaccine as a conspiracy.

oh yeah. It was ok.

There’s a difference between historically accurate and implying that the historically accurate morals were correct. I liked the movie as popcorn entertainment, but some of the subtext didn’t sit right with me. So much so, I never felt the need to rewatch it or watch the squeal. Finding out that Snyder has been wanting to make a Atlas Shrugged movie doesn’t surprise me.

I thought it was weird that the “Heroes” threw deformed babies off a cliff and then when one of the deformed babies who survived, took the opportunity to betray the Spartans. What did Miller and Snyder mean by that?

They’re not buying gasoline. They’re hiring construction firms to make crematoriums.

That’s all. His chuds look for validation by finding a big streamer to regurgitate their views. Doesn’t matter that his only life experience is rotting in front of WoW. Doesn’t matter that he used the sunlight hitting a dead rat as an alarm clock. Doesn’t matter that his teeth bleed.

To be fair, the cancelled movie would have been with Will Smith. I’m ok being without a Will Smith Superman movie. Steel did get his own movie, but without any Superman IP in it.

I don’t think Christopher Nolan was embarrassed by Batman and he only made a standalone trilogy. If he was embarrassed by Batman, he wouldn’t have included an homage to Adam West Batman.

Singer and Synder are just edgelords. You can find them at any comic book store arguing about something stupid, but tolerated longer then they should be because they spend the most money.

They are definitely statements of wealth. Just because it’s investment doesn’t mean it’s also a statement of wealth. Try growing vegetables in your front lawn or hanging cloths to dry. These are things poor people do.
