Tracula posted:Can I reference my past post about his published book? You could but it wouldn't change my mind. I mean, Bob can be extremely stupid and pathetic, but it's self-contained. He doesn't start harassment campaigns against co-workers, he doesn't commit fraud with an indiegogo campaign, and he doesn't make people work for him for "exposure." He's cringeworthy but as long as he doesn't hurt anyone else I can't really dislike him.

I'm guessing the piece will be about web critics in general, with Bob as a case study, which might be interesting. But if that's the case I can't help but feel that a current or former Channel Awesome contributor would've been a better choice of subject. Whatever. Speculation over.

Like, I can't even say that killing Zod and all those implied civilians is out of character for him, because he never gets to assert his character. Clark Kent has no arc, he just is Superman and everybody spends the whole movie talking about "Wow, a Superman" or "Oh no, a Superman". I always thought Man of Steel is what you get when you try to copy Batman Begins for a Superman movie, but then remember you are Hack Snyder and have no talent.

Many people, when presented with evidence that they have wasted time, effort, and money on a worldview that is foolish, will double down and renew their devotion with greater fervor. This is easier and more comfortable than accepting that they an their friends have made a completely ridiculous, stupid decision and devoted their lives to lies. It's really hard to be superior when you done hosed up.

It was trying to mimic Nolan's Batman films by doing a similar visual style and bringing on the same screenwriter. I know this has probably been said a billion times before, but that dark tone doesn't really fit Superman. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Aug 1, 2015 |

On the SVU chat, was their video game episode better or worse than the CSI video game episode? In the CSI one they had silly masks and somehow had a group psychological break with reality so they all thought they were really playing a GTA style game.Jack Gladney posted:Don't forget the one where Mikhail from Lost is smuggling rare animals and the whole team passes around a basketball with a gibbon hidden inside to keep it away from him like they're the Globetrotters. What the gently caress? That poor gibbon.

If that's the same episode of CSI I'm thinking of, it's the one where it turns out that the game developer conspired with said group to rob a bank or something along those lines. I don't know if that makes it better or worse, though, but I remember it was pretty ludicrous. There was an episode of CSI: NY that focused on Second Life. I've seen a couple of clips of it and it's pretty hilarious.

"Hack Snyder" is a loving stupid nickname anyway, because a hack is a person who uses lazy tricks to skirt by on the minimum effort, and Zack Snyder always throws the whole of his creative weight behind ideas he doesn't have the competence to execute.

I think the SVU one has Ice-T's character refer to a video game as "magical rape land" so there's that. There was one episode of SVU where a paedophile boasts to the detectives, "Our numbers are growing while yours are shrinking!"

Good site. There's quite a lot of good information about the origins of Lorem ipsum scattered liberally throughout. I never knew it had such a history. Also, check the google doc list of theatres showing the movie. http://www.sarkeesianeffect.com/where-to-watch-it.html

Cyron posted:using the final battle in both avenger films is what most defenders of MOS use all he time. angry joe was using that with avengers 2 trailer when it showed bits of the final battle or the hulk fight. Because they're analogous? If you blame the Avengers for the damage to the cities they're in, then it's perfectly fine to blame Superman in MOS. If you blame one but not the other, the question is what is the difference. If superheroes are the ones responsible for the damage resulting from them saving the Earth, that's fine. Just be consistent and make the argument that their good deeds in saving billions while tarnished by the thousands lost in the attempt don't make them mass murderers.

Gyges posted:Clark Kent lets 1 person die and Superman kills 1 alien. Unless we're going to start laying all the deaths in New York on the Avengers. I think the final action sequence in Avengers 2 works as a direct response to the Metropolis fight in Man of Steel. The Avengers spend most of the time saving people. they save individual people, they risk their lives to save random bystanders. A lot of the tension in the fight comes from whether or not the SHIELD ships will get there in time, and whether or not the Avengers will get everyone on board in time. You actually get the impression that everybody lived, because the superheros save the day. I'm sure, that if we think about that situations as if it was a totally realistic event, a bunch of people would've gotten their head smashed in by falling masonry and some surgeries got interrupted by the power going out and yada yada yada. But the movie presents what happened as, "bad guy tried to kill a lot of people, superheroes stopped the bad guy and saved everyone" In Man of Steel you don't see Superman try to save anyone. He just fights with other Superman for an hour, causing ten 9/11s in the process.

I don't think the situations were the same. Fighting fodder as a team is different than fighting someone superior by yourself. I highly recommend this thread since they still have this same circular discussion in it every now and then, two years after the film was released.

It's pretty hilarious because it means that Kevin Costner was absolutely right the entire time. Superman lives thirty years in obscurity, using his powers only ever to save people's lives, and then saves the planet from annihilation, and everyone is like "BUT CAN WE TRUST HIM THOUGH?"
