whole foods is the least woke company

they pioneered the business strategy of pretending the company is woke and is more expensive because it is more ethical and charging more so that bougie customers can feel they are doing good by paying a tithe to support fair trade or whatever but then not actually doing anything good and just pocketing the money

the founder and ceo of the company is a huge libertarian and anti-union rear end in a top hat and was one of the biggest celebrity CEOs that bitched and bitched about how the ACA was fascism
he's also a big-time Thatcher fanboy

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.

I'm glad the first black superhero ended racism.

I'm also glad Marvel Heroes got shut down before the movie played so my Black Panther achievement will remain rare forever.

i'm in the middle of the RLM review of Black Panther and it reminded me of their gripe about the latest Thor movie: it doesn't matter that they do a few things here and there differently and do them well, it's still a superhero movie and that demands an ending where the good guy fights the bad guy. that's the high end of what a Marvel movie will always be

they're also on the side of the bad guy

the RLM review also mentions that the movie ends with Wakanda creating nonprofits in inner cities like Oakland. it's no wonder why pop culture libs love it- sort of like Wonder Woman, it's blatant red meat to their sensibilities and politics. and that very, very, very small sliver of the population makes up almost every major movie critic, so it's played up to be a commonly-held belief when most people just wanna see a black superhero, or any superhero movie at all

there's a petition going around saying that Disney/Marvel should give 20% of the earnings from Black Panther to inner city after-school programs and the like, but i'm with RLM in saying that should be upped to 50%. it'll obviously never happen, which is why we need to use force

literally the only funny thing about the green lantern movie was seeing the number of normal people sane enough to stay far away from comics go 'uhhh who the gently caress is this white guy, isn't green lantern black'

Fox has all x-men rights which means all mutants. However scarlet witch and quicksilver are also avengers, so they are allowed to be in the avengers movies, but all references to them being mutants or their relation to other mutants is only allowed in fox movies

fox doesn't own x-men movie rights anymore, but disney will probably keep screwing them anyway

seriously, how do you make a Marvel vs. Capcom game with zero x-men? they've been part of crossover fighting games since the very beginning

the unfortunate thing is that starving gunmakers and their enablers of money is probably the most effective way of making change. even then, that's a pipe dream because judicial precedent has been in favor of absolute gun rights for a decade
