Threep posted:Well, the book being complained about was written by guy who's run for office as a Republican and ranted about how black people moving in was ruining his business Are you sure you aren't thinking of a different Nick Spencer? All my googling suggests the Nick Spencer that writes for Marvel isn't the same Nick Spencer that was on the Cincinnati city council.

No one was trying to "reform" him. If Mark Ruffalo made a public statement that he endorsed Hillary because she was a quiet and demure housewife, we'd probably have the same desire to tell him why he was wrong.

Who actually believed in the ideals of America and that everyone should have a fair shot at them, to the point that after Watergate he gave up being Captain America cause Nixon disgraced the White House. He got over it eventually. Wasn't there a time he also took Reagan to task? also nixon was running a shadow government and the story ends with nixon shooting himself in the head marvel!

Then you say hasbro made you put him in, wait to see if he's actually popular, and if he takes off you claim his copyright via a crude design drawing you mailed to yourself on day one but did not open until you arrived in court.

Literally The Worst posted:does anyone actually want me to poo poo words about the falcon's importance as a superhero in and of himself and also the importance of his relationship with cap Film version kinda guts most of the things that made the oldentimes Falcon cool, though. Oldentimes Falcon was a Harlem social worker who was fiery and outspoken about matters of justice, race and propriety, and wasn't afraid to clash vocally with Cap. Movie Falcon is a mellow, dutiful soldier who immediately and without question defers to Cap. They're not much alike. This version of the Falcon feels much more like a sidekick, rather than a partner. PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Oct 20, 2015 |

I've read multiple quotes from Robert Downey Jr. that kind of imply that he leans that way, and I still think he's a great Iron Man. In fact, it basically completes the picture of him as Tony Stark IRL. edit: Also Frasier Owns. Yoshifan823 fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Literally The Worst posted:also nixon was running a shadow government and the story ends with nixon shooting himself in the head Yeah. For years I kept hearing about how "Once Captain America quit because of how he felt Watergate disgraced his country" as an example of how comics give relevant commentary on topical events and never thought to question it because why would several independent comics geeks be wrong about comics? It was pretty weird later learning on that the Marvel version of Watergate was about how someone implied to be Nixon turned out to secretly be the leader of a long-standing terrorist organization founded by Hydra, and was in the process of staging a coup by threatening to nuke a bunch of American cities. Then shot himself in the head and became subject of a huge government coverup. And that was what made him give up his identity as Captain America (for four issues) out of shame. I guess the missing 18 minutes were more eventful than I figured.

National Review would like to explain to you how great employer paternalism toward employees is. Let's just get a taste:quote:The company town gets a bad rap. Tennessee Ernie Ford lamented that he owed his soul to the company store, and the abuses associated with company towns — artificially high rents on company housing, high prices at those company stores, the scrip system, effective debt bondage — are familiar features of folk economics. He keeps veering back and forth between rhapsodizing about how great it is when your boss tells you how to live and sneering at liberals who think the government should exist, and the article veers between infuriating and baffling. E: A rebuttal. Pope Guilty fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Isn't that just a variant of "slavery wasn't so bad! They got fed and sang songs and stuff!"?

Pretty much. I wish there was some facility we could send these types of "slavery/company towns/unregulated work places were totally great guys" assholes to for a year where you live as a slave or a worker before unions. It would be like when Mancow got waterboarded after saying it was no big deal. You can leave anytime but you have to produce a written essay about exactly why you want to leave and are forbidden from dumb rear end libertarian poo poo for life.

Monopolies are rarely good things, which is why dumb-dumb progressives supported them in 1900 and still support monopolies today because dumb progressives never learn. Now as I was saying, a company town with a monopoly on everything is great.

When the last issue, with the suicide, went to print the writer was asked a million times "it's not Nixon right? It can't be Nixon. I'm serious" and he kept going no no no As soon as it went to print he went hey y'all it's Nixon
