To keep on with the nerdling rant since I've been a Wonder Woman "fan" since Rucka fixed her book and she killed Max Lord, felt she was going to be the easiest non-Supes/Bat character to do a standalone for even while everyone else was like "how?!?!?" and these new kids aren't allowed to enjoy things because they're lttp...even this version of the character will not be a new take since Master Snyder The Great already established her. In BvS she infamously had like ten lines in the theatrical cut, spends most of the movie just looking hot and spy-detective-flirting with Bruce, then when she finally suits up one thing she says is simply "I've killed things from other worlds before." Then proceeds to be the only one to actually fight Doomsday directly, Bruce hides for most of it because he's not stupid and Clark talks to Lois for twenty minutes because they are, and is clearly spending her time enjoying it.

Before anyone gets too angry about this:

Nintendo is a family oriented company, and the last time they allowed a direct communication tool in their systems -Swapnote- paedophiles started sending dick to kids.

They want to not be responsible for any bad behavior from the users, and since they don't want for their service to turn into an endless screaming, swearing, racist galore, they count on YOUR smartphone.

Ultimately it's customers fault for being assholes online, don't blame Nintendo

I'm glad Benji got to it, because it's pissing the comic nerd in me right the fuck off that people who have never in their life read a Wonder Woman comic have these things to say about "the importance of the character." There aren't "two Wonder Woman's." There are hundreds. The most celebrated runs of character happened under 3 men and 1 woman. Perez fixed the character, turning her from the Justice League's bondage-loving secretary into the warrior princess everybody knows. Rucka grounded her, Azzarello modernized her and Simone added plenty of humor and violence to her background. "The Wonder Woman written by men" is the fucking Wonder Woman that you are now seeing on screen, because Johns and Heinberg are both men.

Injustice is a world where everybody side resembles their baseline character only a little. Superman is a tyrant who murders gleefully and Lex is a good guy. Maybe try to pretend like you actually know a single thing about what you're talking about before trying to turn it into some half-assed social issue.  These people are on the same level talking about "oh, of course she's dating a MAN in the movie!!!"

The worst part about getting comic book movies are the fans. I'm not hurr durr new fans, but I rarely see them asking comic vets questions, instead I just see them pushing their ignorant tale as the way things are.

Come to think of it, I've fallen asleep playing video games before.  Back when Phantasy Star Online came out for the Game Cube, I used to take my system and the game to a buddy's house and play 4P local multiplayer.  We'd play until 4-6 AM and I'd usually conk out around 1 or 2, then wake up to find the others still playing an hour or two later.

No amount of GAF hyperbole is as bad or consequential as what the president just did TBH. Or the fact half the country probably supports it.

Times like this are when I begin to think some of you in this thread are worse then the caricatures you deride on GAF.

Finding more annoyance and placing more focus on the benign frustration posts on GAF then the very enormously consequential thing they are getting mad at.

Like you clearly seemed to have thought the first thing you wanted to do in this situation after this news passed was to shitpost about Gaffers. What does that say??

I know GAF and especially Amirox think otherwise, but GAF posting is not in fact a social center of any consequence in American politics. And not really a bellwether of all that much.

And I think Trump has kinda shown it isn't the use of hyperbole and catastrophizing that is stopping the left from winning elections, Trump basically energized a new voting bloc turning that dial from the 7 or 8 the right-wing media had it at to a full 10.

But speaking for myself, I separate out ridiculous hyperbole like a person amping up to the "literally Hitler" card in some random thread or the closed-minded/deflectionary first post in that link(or almost anything Slayven says) with the people blowing off steam(and yeah, virtue signaling) after an enormously consequential event.

Trump didnt invent the hyperbole is plaguing your politics, he is the result that this rethoric has not been countered but even encouraged by (guess what) both sides of your political spectrum to a degree. My issue is not the user blowing up steam, but GAF is the forum where that same excuse of "saying stupid shit because I am mad" will not fly if certain topics or users were touched.

I agree, there is a difference of saying this stuff because you are mad than having a position of power and amping up to get more attention, but the fact that you admit that there still a need to "virtue signaling" by saying that "the US should burn because is a blight to humanity" at least should make you think if it should not laughed off. In the same inconsiquential way that the post was written off.

What is LGBT about Sense8 beyond the Wackowski's?  ??? ??? ??? Seriously, haven't watched it so I wouldn't know.

Quote from: Vanity Fair
thanks to its beautifully-written characters including a transgender woman (Jamie Clayton) and a gay actor (Miguel Ángel Silvestre)—seems especially cruel considering that June 1 is the first day of Pride month.

Okay. Explains it. It's probably been cancelled since it was super expensive apparently.

Speaking of the Accord:

Someone copy paste that over there for them.

Point being: Freaking out over Trump pulling out of the accord means very little in actual environmental impact on the individual level. They want to defy Trump? Good luck reducing your footprint.

the weirdest thing in that thread are all the people talking about how other countries will "beat us to it" like only the first country (and it has to be a nation-state, not a private company or anything) gets to use the magic technology that saves the world or that everyone else in the world will adopt it but the future U.S. in this hypothetical scenario will be like "NOPE WE SAID NO THIRTY AGO DID YOU HEAR US?!?" rather than all the companies importing it because of its massive cost benefits and President for Life Dwayne Johnson probably mandating it or that the entire world will undermine their whole scheme by refusing to share it and that somehow the whole world can hide it from Americans

but these are people from a forum that complains about it being unfair when other consoles/companies adopt good things done by their competitors and is so outraged over [news] they're going to donate a few bucks online to a non-profit and also what journalism outlets should i be reading and podcasts to listen to because i really want to know more about this?

FFS, America is already ahead of the goals of this sham agreement on its own for the past couple of years even before it was cooked up. Free market and the smell of making money will keep it that way.

its not like Coal mining is going to roar back.

This thread is amusing, because it shows how obsessed so many people are with administering a "punishment", albeit one entirely within their own irrelevant head, onto a perceived wrong-doer. This is the fundamental basis from which most discussion in OT GAF and huge swathes of twitter works from (and at least with twitter in can manifest into "harassment" and "call out culture"). Someone did something bad, time to channel my negative feelings towards them until I feel satisfied, which will only be as long until I spot yet another Trump thread I am required to post in. It's pure resentment in the form of addiction. RPGCrazied is the top junkie.

I've never even heard of Sense8.  I had no idea the Ws were doing a Netflix show.  And I'd like to think I'm at least decently aware of what's available on Netflix.

In early May 2017, producer Roberto Malerba said that not all eight regulars of the cast had renewed yet, but the process was still going. He additionally disclosed the first season had an average budget of about $4.5 million per episode, and the second season $9 million per episode. Furthermore, he added that a potential third season would likely be the series' last, due to the complicated nature of the series' production, and the fact Lana Wachowski works as a filmmaker on it almost alone

filming for Sense8 takes place almost entirely on location around the globe. In the first season they filmed in nine cities located in eight countries: Chicago, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Seoul, Reykjavík, Mexico City, Nairobi and Mumbai.
Quote
For the second season, production credited 16 cities located in 11 countries for having been part of the filming. The major locations they shot in include all of the first season's except Reykjavík, and the following new ones: Amsterdam, Argyll, Chippenham, Los Angeles, Malta, Positano, Redwoods, and São Paulo.
yeah, that'll do ya

A couple years back USA suddenly deadlocked with Covert Affairs' production staff over its location shooting budget, which was a shame because had they done it a year earlier it could have gone out on an epic note instead of middling nonsense due to thinking it would get the same treatment as the shows that shot in Canada on sets and around office buildings.

Thats what leaders do, they fucking lead.

You ever stop to think that a lot of America's benefits stem from their hegemonic status on the world stage?

How back in the inception of these accords China, India, Brazil and a lot of other actors we're constantly trying to inject rules, technical details, and trying to shift parameters and targets that harmed American economic interests and conferred benefits to them at our expense? Having the head seat at the table as the hegemonic power and the centerpiece of the agreement meant we could quash that shit. Negotiate the emerging world economic stage setting toward our benefits.

Now you step onto the observation deck and let China/EU and all those actors that wanted to undermine American economic power to work unabated of our push-back.

Could you imagine if Trump got some intel about an impending terrorist attack and asked for a travel ban just to let it get struck down once more and then allow the attack to happen so that he could tell America 'I told you so'?

Slacktivst Deepwater at it again.

Bloom, who has represented women who have accused Bill Cosby and Bill O'Reilly of harassment, tweeted Thursday night, "Proud to announce that I represent Kathy Griffin. We will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning."

Well maybe you should put up your own video doing what she did if she did nothing wrong.


Deepwater's motto:  Voting doesn't work, protesting doesn't work, only massive social upheaval and violent revolution works.  Call me when you guys do that.
