Pembroke Fuse posted:Libertarians love The Incredibles, because individualism, etc. Oh for fucks sake. The main villain of the goddamn movie lives on an isolated island nation outside the jurisdiction of any government where he hoards all of the technology he has created for himself because he wants to use it to live out his personal fantasies, and will then sell them at ludicrous prices to the rest of us after he is done with it. Again, for the people who are having a hard time, that is the villain. It is not a loving objectivist movie. And neither is Ratatouille for that matter - the villain made it his personal mission in life to destroy Gusteau because he, a critic, could not stand or accept the idea that anyone can cook, that anyone can make something great.

What if libertarians love The Incredibles for the same reason anyone else might, and not because it speaks to their lovely political philosophy? It's a good movie.

If I remember right it had a deliberately ambiguous ending between using superpowers to always win at everything and balancing with the needs of society, so I guess people can interpret it either way if they want.

However, as a former Objectivist, I remember reading many glowing reviews about the movie and the inherent individualism, etc. You also have to remember that Objectivists aren't really critical thinkers in most cases (which is why so many of them are turning into the alt right these days). Wikipedia backs me up here: Wikipedia posted:Some commentators took Bob's frustration with celebrating mediocrity and Syndrome's comment that "when everyone is super, nobody will be" as a reflection of views shared by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche or an extension of Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand's Objectivism philosophy, which Bird felt was "ridiculous."[5][12] He stated that a large portion of the audience understood the satire whereas "two percent thought I was doing The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged." Some purported that The Incredibles exhibited a right-wing bias, which Bird also scoffed at. "I think that's as silly of an analysis as saying The Iron Giant was left-wing. I'm definitely a centrist and feel like both parties can be absurd."[5]

Also, I'm not sure what Tinsley is talking about this time as, unless I missed some piece of news, Incredibles 2 is actually set to be released next year. At least some of the voice work has already been done and everything. And this is actually the first time they promised a new Incredibles movie; they used to say things like "oh, yeah, we might do that someday if we ever have a good idea for it", which is how movie people say "no".

Science Man has led a long, hard life. He's done some pretty bad things, and he knows it. He didn't regret them in the moment, but he feels a gnawing guilt in the back of his spine whenever he reflects on all the people he's stepped on to get where he is. He's always been able to justify it by reassuring himself that he's not that bad in the scheme of things; there's got to be many, many others who are worse than he is. But he had to be sure. So he built this crime computer, to analyze exactly how much of the world's sorrow and misfortune was his own personal fault. Bless its heart, it's too naive to put his name to its findings. But it knows. It knows how much of the wrong in the world can be traced to one man. One lab-coated, bespectacled man. It's already told him all he needs to know. Science Man knows what he must do. But in his hubris he has neglected to bring with him a convenient implement to carry out the deed easily. All he has on him is this simple claw hammer. It'll have to do. He stares. It's all he can see. It appears almost to pulse with meaning, power, and fate. He knows what needs to be done. It's an easy fix.

Kinda surprised to see Tinsley draw an actual strip that's also not hateful. I wonder if that's a 'moment of clarity' that I heard about in Pulp Fiction.

No but what is even happening. I am unironically agreeing with drunky duck. I would say it's a stopped clock, but I think if that were true there'd be more than one good comic in all these years following him Also: Famously ignored: Pennsylvania. Hillary never went there. It's not like it was the third most visited state after Florida and North Carolina.

The Incredibles (2004): This animated film skips pop-culture references and gross jokes in favor of a story that celebrates marriage, courage, responsibility, and high achievement. A family of superheroes — Mr. Incredible, his wife Elastigirl, and their children — are living an anonymous life in the suburbs, thanks to a society that doesn’t appreciate their unique talents. Then it comes to need them. In one scene, son Dash, a super-speedy runner, wants to try out for track. Mom claims it wouldn’t be fair. “Dad says our powers make us special!” Dash objects. “Everyone is special,” Mom demurs, to which Dash mutters, “Which means nobody is.” – Frederica Mathewes-Greene writes for Beliefnet.com.

The lyrics are straight out of Robert Plant’s Middle Earth period — there are lines about “ring wraiths” and “magic runes” — but for a song released in 1971, it’s hard to miss the Cold War metaphor: “The tyrant’s face is red.”

Selachian posted:You think that's hilarious, be sure to check out their list of conservative rock songs. Yeah, I've seen that one before, it's basically a list of songs that have a line or two that could be considered conservative taken completely out of context of the song itself, as well as any connotations that would be implied by the leanings of the band themselves. Also a complete lack of self-reflection that many of those songs could easily be about the folly of conservatives without having to perform mental gymnastics.
