how come nobody ever discusses the real problem is that Wakanda's "secret technology" and "high living standards for the elite" are being funded by the king's selling off conflict minerals from a meteor (that causes high rates of cell mutation) to Western nations for their use almost exclusively in weaponry (and a shield for this one dope who fell out of a plane in the 1940's)

what kind of message does that send to our children?

and why wasn't Lord of War praised for showing the story of a second generation immigrant small businessman who makes his family wealthy by selling excess goods from one market to people in need in other markets?

I am anti-nonsense and anti-bullshit.

And pretty anti-thebore because of the true vile nature of people here.


I don't have a political tribe, because that ends up with you defending bullshit and nonsense. People here think I'm conservative or whatever because they haven't ran into certain ideas of information before. Though it may be that anyone who disagrees with them has to be right wing. A lot of people here are only a feather's throw away from REEEEEEEEEEEset.


I don't visit the US politics thread often here because it's basically 90% r/politics with liberal distinguished mentally-challenged fellows pointlessly reeeeeeeeeing about Trump and like members of a cult expecting the Russian conspiracy second coming any time now but from the little I've read you seemed like the opposite side of the same shitty coin. Then again you might act as the contrarian there which would be partly justified given the level of distinguished mentally-challenged exhibited in that thread so I'll refrain from judgment.
http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=45412.0

Just saying. Perhaps you all have more in common with the depressed, absolutist "reeeeee" caricature you all are constantly framing and using to gobble people up into when you get into intellectual conflict with them? Including with one another?

I understand why it feels good to be rapresented (I'm a minority myself), but maybe because I'm withe and European, but I can't understand why modern-day black Americans care about their African ancestry? Like, no more White Americans don't care about their European ancestry.  Like, I get that in many cases for their ancestors coming to America wasn't a conscious choice, but you have a culture nowadays, it's the American one.

So why do you have the username of a Malaysian guy?

You're skipping the part where Wakanda supports a registry program for other people's citizens.

my favorite part is that Marvel writers spread the vibranium so much over the years* that they had to create a bunch of non-Wakandian sources for it because T'Challa wouldn't have provided it under his previously stated ethical code, which also would remove the resource monopoly they held and likely tanked the Wakandian economy leaving the technology as their only export and reducing its value, wait no, my actual favorite part is the whole thing where Cap's shield had fucking cancer (the real Super C) that could spread to other vibranium (i'm so glad this is on the wikipedia page so not just the other nerds know i'm not making up this storyline) which probably would have likely also been hard on the Wakandian economy

also the country hasn't been "secret" since the 1960's, none of its continued status in the comics makes sense anymore, though in the Marvel Universe i'd say hardly in comparison to every single facet of Latveria from its origin to modern day and probably beyond

but hold up the main thing is i gotta complain about how this comic book film adaptation** isn't presenting an accurate portrayal of modern African political history by adapting this part straight (but time-shifted like the rest of the MCU)

*they same thing they did to also once rare, near impossible to replicate, adamantium :doge
**from the same shared film universe where the entire history of the American government post-war was exposed as a self-defeating Hydra plot

Was either having a laugh, doesn't understand genre, or is a DC fan. Just because a film has some superhero shenanigans doesn't change the fact that much of the movie absolutely does fit that genre mold.
the twist in the political thriller i'm writing is that the President was a DC Fan the entire time!

I don't see what the fuzz is all about.
Black Panther looks like a good movie, unlike the Ghostbusters movie. Black folks seem thrilled that they got a cool movie with black actors.

There's nothing wrong with fandom for a good movie. The Ghostbusters thing was much more disturbing, because the movie was shit and people pretended it was not.


That's not really what the discussion is about though. Certain people started melting down after I made fun of this post and specifically this sentence:
 
Quote
Releasing Black Panther in the middle of Black History month was a great move because it not only gives the black community something to bond over, but something to be proud of.

I don't really have a problem with a black kid saying, "cool, a black superhero!" but there's a loooooooooong way to go between that and the aforementioned identity politics delusions sprinkled with a heavy dose of corporate marketing excretion.
If that's how they feel, I don't really see the problem with it. I find this much less disturbing than trying to turn radical post-modern ideals into policy and laws. The hoopla about Black Panther will last until the movie is out of the cinema's.
You're free to either watch the movie or not.

Risky move for Disney/Marvel though. They've now thrown themselves into that arena. If they mess up say a black or female portrayal in another movie or one of their actors or producers turns out to be racist as shit they're going to be cheeseburger sharked rather quick.

Haha, no it isn't, this shit has been focus tested by a million different groups and and has been approved by another million marketing departments. It's why Disney products are so predictable, vanilla and boring.

i doubt it? in the comics it was how they explained how a bunch of the Wakandian characters were seemingly all superpowered at one point, "they're all mutants! from the space meteor!"

like there weren't literally millions of them running around the rest of the planet, or that the comics didn't focus on superheroes over normies in general

I'm going to the theatre today, do I watch Black Panther or Sweet Country?

One is about race relations and the inextricable sanctity of human life, and the other is about a king who beats people up.

Or Shape of Water which is about having sex with fish people.

Spoiler: White dudes don't look at super heroes and think that dude looks like me. 

Super late on this but they absolutely do. Just look at how many dudes get upset when a woman takes over as Thor or a black dude takes over as Spider-Man.

Because that's a separate issue. It's not that they can longer identify, but that it's lazy ideological writing. Make your own damned hero. The entire problem with that sort of thing is the idea underneath it all that they're "fixing" the character. Female Thor wasn't bad cuz they gender swapped, but because it was fucking cringe writing.

Or put another way: the problem with that approach was it DID see the character as defined by X race and Y gender, so they thought swapping those meant they could write a dipshit story around those group identities.

Example A:



When you think that a super hero is their race and gender then this is the trash you produce.

Yeah, that's garbage. Fun fact though: There's a graphic novel about a gipsy "super hero" called, well, "Gipsy" (the first issue was published in the US in Heavy Metal decades ago). And it's great. What's especially great about it is that Gipsy being a gipsy isn't really defining the character nor the story, but it comes up. And I always loved the way it dealt with stereotypes, because it challenges or ridicules some, but acknowledges others. But the point is: The whole story was designed around the character, it all has a purpose. It isn't a dumb race, gender or orientation swap of an established character trying to push an agenda with all the subtlety of a sledge hammer. And the character turned out far more interesting, likeable and deep than most American super heroes, even tough the there've only ever been five or six books.

Oh oh oh so he calls out blame space by name and say he misses him?

What about Dennis? Not even a shoutout for saving PC gaming in 2009-2010? That was a rough patch but I got us through it and now PC gaming is thriving.
All the great fashion threads and advice over the years and I don’t even get a line.  :(

MS fanboy loses it when Phil Spencer-chan gets criticized.  :lol
You all want your DAMN games? Guess what, it takes time to create new games. 2-3 years at least. He cannot produce games out of his ass at last minute and have them ready for E3 or 2018 release.

He’s right tho. Name one thing Phil has fucked up besides games. BC, Game Pass, Play Anywhere are all dope initiatives. And new games take years to develop. We should only *now* be getting the games Phil OK’d. Phil’s a good guy.

Why does this matter? I like BC, don't care much about play anywhere and Game Pass is fine but nothing something I'm excited about. I'm into videogames and I'm in it for the games, there are none. "New games take years to develop" rings hollow when MS cancelled a bunch of games and have gone on longer droughts than drought king Nintendo at this point. I don't care about the business model nor do I care for services for playing games when there aren't any new and interesting games to play. It's not that hard to understand.

Almost all of your complaints are specific to things you don't like and things you won't use. If you're going to criticize the CEO of a company for his poor performance, you should at least look at it with respect to what most fans want, not to what you want personally.

Ah yes, the Oscars, the place we used to all be able to take solace in knowing they would never allow to be nominated or award undeserving films or performances. How can the image of the Oscars ever recover now that they have sullied their reputation by putting uppity tripe like Jordan Peele alongside such scrupulously chosen nominees and winners like Crash, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient and Sean Penn's incredible performance in I Am Sam?

You're right, I just don't think there is any coming back from this.

Seems like I and others personally want games. The videogame industry is what it is because of games. And what Phil Spencer is primarily failing at is games.

What do you expect out of game enthusiast forums? Of course everybody on them wants some DAMN games as the PositiveGamer put it.

My criticisms is not for the features at all, you dingus. It's that the features are cool but it's all moot if I'm not getting new games out of it. And I can criticize him for failing at what most fans want, and that's games. Have you been dumb, deaf and blind this entire time? Why do you think Xbox is so far behind? Why do you think Sony is doing so well? And why do you think Nintendo have a lot of momentum going right now? Two out of the three options have a lot of exclusive games coming out and crushing the buildings. Just because you're a Microsoft fanboy doesn't mean that the corporate stooge you're rallying behind is infallible.

I mean if you care about exclusives these days (:heh at that), you have a point. But if you're third party like PC gamers, X-box isn't doing that bad on that front. The only major problem is: If I can get it on PC, why would I get it on X-box? Which is partly why Spencer and whats-his-face-CEO put their shit under UWP to try to get PC gamers into their ecosystem. Meanwhile: :kobeyuck at that and having to bend over backwards to pirate Forza Horizon 3 just to not give MS money for that bullshit sandbox (good for security, terrible for gaming) app initiative.
