McWeeny's source was McWeeny, i.e., it's likely he got that "scoop" by scraping it out of his own hairy rear end.

You created a hundred line spreadsheet to prove that your dislike of MoS was objectively correct. You're not in a great position to call people delusional here.

This is like the most bizarre current CD meme to me, and it doesn't just happen with superheros, I've seen it happen recently in the Ghostbusters and especially the Star Wars* thread. The idea that people don't just have bad taste or are dumb but actually know that they are objectively wrong and are just scrambling desperately to not lose face.

*honestly I think it originated with the prequel discussion since there are people who just cannot believe that anyone can like any aspect of the prequels, even on a moderate "credit where credit's due" level

What exactly is Marvel doing releasing Civil War? Like, in these times of economic and racial uncertainty, revolving around an increasingly volatile presidential election, is it really all that wise to release a big picture named Captain America: Civil War about American citizens (superpowered nevertheless) engaging in violent conflict with one another over political differences?

well Disney is owned by the Bilderbergs who are the new world order and are exactly the type of organization to plant these psychological breadcrumbs in the populace, basically irl Hydra.

This is the true reason mass destruction in Marvel movies is so sanitized, they want you to think war is clean and pretty and gets fixed up by next year's blockbuster.

Guyver 2 Dark Hero has possibly the best "Super powered dude VS Armed Thugs" fight ever. Mostly because he just fucks around with them the entire time despite being able to tear them apart limb from limb with ease. He specifically tries to get trick shots so they kill eachother.

Nah; the actually irresponsible thing is this "we designed it so that it's deliberately unclear who's right" deal - as if such obfuscation is a good thing.

You really can't do Civil War with "we're unclear who is right" because it's not really a morally grey situation, no matter how much they try to argue it is. That's the entire reason the comic version just keeps making Iron Man eviler and eviler because it's literally the only way to possibly cast moral ambiguity on the situation, and even then it's just "Well, Captain America is on the side NOT siding with Literal Nazis..."

Maybe I'll be shocked and they'll do a better job of presenting it in the film but what it looks like is the argument is basically "Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to do whatever you want without oversight" vs "But what about NAZIS and I want to make out with Bucky!" And if Iron Man is wrong it is because of Nazis and then everyone will Godwin's Law every argument because see, if we try to do anything but be completely unregulated than the Nazis will kill our families.

Guyver 2 Dark Hero is the most B movie to ever B movie and I love it so much. It takes all of the problems of tone and consistency the first movie had and flushes them down the toilet.

The acting is garbage in a fantastic way, the effects are amazing and gorey, the deaths are over the top from start to finish and the creature effects are spot on. We get THREE unique Guyver designs, and the entire thing goes off with only a bit of a slow....

Not a middle. Like, one third of the middle is slow. Then monsters and Guyvers start fighting and it just never stops.

No, you've got to bring the people in believing that their position is going to be fairly represented. That way when FDR Liberal Captain Union America wins they realize that they were wrong all along and greater conflict is avoided as their fight has already been won. Sort of like ancient Heroic Combat, but instead of two guys proxy fighting for two nations it's a movie proxy fighting for one nation.

Nah, it's being presented by Thunderbolt Ross, and that guy is all kinds of bad even though he's totally not a Nazi. We'll have to wait and see what the movie outlines as the Registration side. However from what it looks like, Captain America goes anti-registration due to the actions of the pro-registration authority. If they must follow orders that they disagree with and use their abilities counter to their conscience, then they are under a moral imperative to resist those orders.
