B-Dubs is aware that monument removal is something that happens and is debated in places where there are no statues of Confederate generals right? For example, when Stalin died a whole bunch of Stalin statutes disappeared and even more disappeared in newly free countries after the USSR collapsed. Soviet memorials in Poland (and elsewhere) are ongoing issues, they stepped up these debates after the invasion of Ukraine.

Some of the "right-wing" nationalists that often get criticized on ResetERA.com when their existence is noticed by Twitter are big advocates of altering monuments to manage their countries historical record, to pick a random example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiquization

Quote from: Blader
Maybe in a nerd household. To most people Iron Man was a total unknown and Captain America to the extent that he was widely known was a joke. They had to subtitle his movie *The First Avenger* because they didn’t have confidence in “Captain America” alone as a name to carry him. And even when the movies got underway Cap still didn’t really take off until Winter Soldier.

Household Marvel names pre-MCU were Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine, and the X-Men
This is one of my favorite founding mythologies of the MCU. You can go back and look at the budgets and compare them to other superhero movies of the time. Marvel and Paramount (and Disney, look at when they bought Marvel) certainly did not think these would not be blockbusters. The first Iron Man is the only one they (slightly) held back the budget on.

Fact checking out of boredom: of the big movies in 2011, thor and captain america are two of the more expensive entries. The only one abnormally higher is because they had to pay an overinflated salary to the star. Planet of the Apes, Fast Five, and…the hangover 2 (???) cost less than thor. Despite the insistence disney-marvel is an underdog working with scraps, budget was about that same as x-men first class.

Fact check 2: this is a year after Inception and Avatar were these hugely successful movies. Idea audiences only saw shit they knew wasn’t wisdom yet.

fact check 3: Grown Ups and The Last Airbender did better than Tron Legacy :notlikethis

Seriously, these things were almost all more expensive than any other comparable films, the stuff that got bigger budgets were Nolan's Batman (revival of a previous blockbuster franchise, Begins budget is still in line with the MCU first films), the Spider-Man trilogy and two films with troubled long productions (Superman Returns and X-Men: Last Stand) and Marvel kept upping the budget on each one. Marvel immediately pushed the Iron Man sequels budgets over what Nolan got for his sequels. They act like it was like X-Men and X2 where Fox came in with below average budgets (with X2 getting a later bump) and got blockbusters out of them. Marvel bet on all of these like Sony did with Spider-Man. They were not snuck out and wow, a hit, let's make more towards Avengers!

Warner certainly came along five years later and tried to spend their own MCU into existence by dropping insane amounts of money on the Academy Award winning Zack Snyder (and CGI for Henry Cavill's upper lip) but they've written this status backwards into the lore like Marvel wasn't outspending everyone but Sony from the start. And none of this includes whatever they spent on marketing, the comics, merchandise, video games, etc.

Laying in the bed fighting pain in my back, cause somehow when i was warming food for lunch I suffered a game ending injury. I was just standing there doing one of those weird little dances we do when we are alone waiting for my mcnuggets to warm to a temp where it isn't sad that i am eating them.

Suddenly my back tweaked and I got a sharp pain that made me cross my eyes.  I wasn't even doing anything, is this what it is like all the time for you [USER=143]B-Dubs[/USER]  ? This shit isn't right, i trying to work up the strenght to find the heating pad

Second time in this thread you've tried to defend someone coming after me for no reason.

Do yourself a favor and look at the context in any situation where you remember me doing that. If I've done that, it was in response to someone who was saying something clearly problematic or thread-shitting, only to bounce from the thread immediately after.

This guy is literally upset that I said, "I liked Ant-Man 3," and demanding some strange explanation about it. (Not anyone else in the thread saying they liked it. Just me.) That shit is weird.
No, the people you do it to (a lot btw), you assume are being “problematic”. A lot of the time you have no clue what their intentions are, but that doesn’t stop you from playing backseat mod. Just knock that shit off and use the report button. No one owes you an answer.

No, a lot of time their intentions are actually very clear.

But hey, it would be nice if some of you would stop coming at me randomly in this thread for literally no reason. Don't like my posts in other threads? DM me about it or put me on ignore.

This is the weirdest fucking thread to derail.

Doesnt it run equally as bad on X with the expected variance in res (and no RT)? It still has 3 modes. forgot about dead space but that runs fine too, albeit they cut the 60 fps mode out even tho it ran up to 60 fps pre release

edit: NFS Unbound is also fine on S

i've met Bonnie Wright, who plays ginny weasley.

one of my roommates in Oakland at the time was friends with Bonnie through a (rich) feminist group that meets for yearly retreats in California. like, literally one of the ones where you expose your junk to the sun for 20 minutes. the group as she described it to me sounded like a TERF cult, but i never brought that up because my roommate was always lovely to me as a trans woman the entire 3 years i knew her.

one week she told me and our other roommate (im a queer white trans woman, my two roommates both at the time identified as queer white cis women) that one of her friends in CA for this year's feminist group retreat was in town with her dog and asked if they could spend a night with us. she said it was Bonnie, the Harry Potter actor. i was nervous because of my secret suspicions about the group, but we were both fine with her crashing. it was super common for all of us to have folks coming through; I'd often let my hometown friends in the bay area for one reason or another stay in my room while i was out of town for work, people's partners would stay over for random lengths of time, etc.

the night Bonnie got in i had been working late. i took the bus home and got there sometime between 7-8. i arrived home basically at the same time Bonnie did. i got the weirdest fucking vibe from her, like my friend hadn't told her one of her roommates was trans. (if you're trans you know what i mean.) that vibe + my worry about the group led me to just introduce myself, tell her to make herself at home, and then basically just lock myself in my room until she left the next day.

then last year her during one of the Rowling tweet flare ups Bonnie did an interview saying she didn't support Rowling's views but that she preferred not to comment on the matter any further. i read that and immediately knew what was going on. i have no proof but personally i am convinced Wright is a TERF just trying to publicly straddle the fence so she can stay an uncontroversial celebrity.

a few months ago i learned that during covid, right after I moved out, roommate #2 came out as transmasc and roommate #1 didn't accept him. they had been best friends for years. sad shit, but only further confirmed to me that roommate #1's feminist group is complete shit.

good dog Bonnie's got, though. no issue with the dog. extremely sweet dog.

IDK but I think if you become known/infamous for being an unpaid shill for one of the largest media conglomerates in the world then that's probably a good time to take a step back and reprioritize your entire life.

This lead me down a road of what's going on with the Easy allies subreddit. Apparently one of the mods lost all his marbles and pinned a Hogwarts legacy spoiler to the top of the page. People got mad, the mod behaved like a whiny baby and the original creator of the subreddit just dropped everything and left, leaving the subreddit in the hands of the lunatic mod. To top it off, while not reviewing the game, the easy allies talked about the game in their podcast and actually really liked it.

Expected but still disappointing, as it was good.
What is your standard? I’m trying to understand so when I see the proclamation I know what you’re talking about? In the threads before AM3, you insinuated that it was based off box office and RT scores, so I’m wondering if that’s changed or was a misconception by me. If it hasn’t then this movie is a failure and “not good” by your standards. Seeking clarity.

Yeah, that never actually happened to you. Cute story though.

Though I kind of hope it is. The idea that you -- someone who is clearly not brave enough to defend Hogwarts Legacy over there as you are both here and on the MinnMax Reddit -- are having conversations about me is actually hilarious.

Trust me, I'm okay with someone who obsessively defends Hogwarts Legacy on Reddit not liking me.

one week she told me and our other roommate (im a queer white trans woman, my two roommates both at the time identified as queer white cis women) that one of her friends in CA for this year's feminist group retreat was in town with her dog and asked if they could spend a night with us. she said it was Bonnie, the Harry Potter actor. i was nervous because of my secret suspicions about the group, but we were both fine with her crashing. it was super common for all of us to have folks coming through; I'd often let my hometown friends in the bay area for one reason or another stay in my room while i was out of town for work, people's partners would stay over for random lengths of time, etc.

the night Bonnie got in i had been working late. i took the bus home and got there sometime between 7-8. i arrived home basically at the same time Bonnie did. i got the weirdest fucking vibe from her, like my friend hadn't told her one of her roommates was trans. (if you're trans you know what i mean.) that vibe + my worry about the group led me to just introduce myself, tell her to make herself at home, and then basically just lock myself in my room until she left the next day.

then last year her during one of the Rowling tweet flare ups Bonnie did an interview saying she didn't support Rowling's views but that she preferred not to comment on the matter any further. i read that and immediately knew what was going on. i have no proof but personally i am convinced Wright is a TERF just trying to publicly straddle the fence so she can stay an uncontroversial celebrity.

a few months ago i learned that during covid, right after I moved out, roommate #2 came out as transmasc and roommate #1 didn't accept him. they had been best friends for years. sad shit, but only further confirmed to me that roommate #1's feminist group is complete shit.

good dog Bonnie's got, though. no issue with the dog. extremely sweet dog.

But what about the dog’s stances? And its affiliation with now known TERF, Bonnie Wright? You ain’t slick!

 :social

I mean this is a great example of how insane those activists are on this right now. The woman makes no actions or words suggesting bigotry or otherwise. The only thing remotely close is her choosing not to expand on her repudiation (editors note: marked denial) of JKR’s views. But because she won’t show more enthusiasm, and this numbnut was scared of her for no reason whatsoever, she’s a TERF, no doubt about it.

In. Fucking. Sane.

None, feels MCU doesn't really have the same balls as the comics did regarding the sociopolitical themes regarding race and a black Cap. Still mad at the terrible mixed messages in the TV show.

That said, if they can make it a more grounded thriller like Cap 2 they got a chance to make an aaight movie. Less CGI generated worlds the better.

RE5 deserves to be remade just for REngine Sheva.



To be frank, the only things Capcom needs to do to make it less "problematic" for 2023 is to take out the white woman implied rape cutscene and maaaaaybe edit the ooga booga tribal African spearsmen into something more palatable and less "darkest Africa".

it's funny how Capcom created Sheva and Josh, two non-stereotypical and competent black characters (who don't exist solely as a political statement or get killed off), and it's the last thing anyone ever mentions about RE5 and how it handles race.

wow what are the chances that a condition shared by 1% of the population would randomly end up together in the same household like that
Mental illness mate. Most of these kids are just unwell. Like how you have clusters of disordered eating in schools and friends groups.

It's much the same with the proliferation of non-binary they/thems on Reeeeesetera who make no effort to change anything other than their pronouns so they can fit in with the crowd.

What is your standard? I’m trying to understand so when I see the proclamation I know what you’re talking about? In the threads before AM3, you insinuated that it was based off box office and RT scores, so I’m wondering if that’s changed or was a misconception by me. If it hasn’t then this movie is a failure and “not good” by your standards. Seeking clarity.

Marvel is protected media akin to anything Sony related on Ree. They moderate users in those topics harsher than they would otherwise.
