STAC Goat posted:Wait, that seems like quite a leap from the pre-existing "there might have been a plague storyline" leap. Fair enough, I think I must have extrapolated stuff people said in this thread. howe_sam posted:Yeah, I am glad the Flag Smashers weren't explicitly "Thanos was good, actually". Kind of, but it's unlikely that the haves would have been severely affected either way. The ones that weren't blipped already had comfortable lives and didn't need to move into anyone's homes or jobs. They'd have been more than happy to welcome their blipped rich and powerful buddies back with open arms, and probably helped Solenna posted:That would mean an on screen MCU romance with more passion than one kiss per movie and we can't be having that.

cyclical posted:He didn't. He was fighting exclusively to disable or disarm, and didn't kill even when he easily could have (like with the knife fight, where he embeds the knife into the floor as a pointed warning). Here's the Winter Soldier stunt double talking a little bit about what they were doing with Bucky's fighting: The best bit of that is that looking through the rest of the comments there's apparently a Twitter campaign to push Bucky and Sarah as a thing or at least get a bit more of their flirting akin to the extended footage of Zemo dancing, and it links back to that Spellman interview where he says he sees Bucky as part of Sam's family now. Something he illustrates by noting that he pictures Sam coming home to find Bucky has visited for dinner and is flirting with Sarah.

The closest real world analogy to the snap is victims of the holocaust who were taken from all stratas of society returning to their pre-war homes to find other people now living in them and they weren't going to be allowed their old lives back. I mean the snap literally turns its victims into ashes, it's the holocaust. e: and that is why a big chunk of my angle is 'the show short-changes the GRC on the terms of its own narrative'. They're the ones on the side of the holocaust victims. Alchenar fucked around with this message at 18:46 on May 1, 2021 |

I believe the same thing happened with Asian residents of America during World War II, where the American government interred them all for years during the war and then when they were finally released following the war, found that people had moved into their homes to take over their land and that the government wouldn't do anything about it.

I kind of feel comparing them to holocaust victims is a tad extreme. Not to mention even if you accept the premise exactly morally equivalent, cramming all of the people who helped keep the world running for the last 5 years into crammed refugee camps to be deported in the name of 'returning to normal' is still immoral.

Shot of the Ms. Marvel suit: https://twitter.com/MsMarvelNews/status/1388508117101580288 Looks really good as cosplay, but pretty lousy for a character who is very much with Spider-Man on the "DIY Costume" front.

The Ms. Marvel costume looks fine to me. Though I can't say I'm looking forward to the series, I guess I've just never been a fan of her since she's basically just Mr. Fantastic, but different. My heart only has room for the best stretchy super hero, Plastic Man

I mean it looks good overall, and big ups for keeping the converse and figuring out how to do a domino mask-- I think that's an honest-to-god first in the MCU-- it's more just a few curiosities that keep it from being "Hell yeah." They squared away Spider-Man by making him Iron Man Jr. for the most part. All of the fantastic detail and durability of his outfit is a lot easier to deal with when "oh it's Stark tech." Maybe Carol does a thing for Kamala with Kree fabric? I could dig that I guess, depending on how they do it. The only two things that don't quite sit right with me are the shoulders and the silhouette lines of gold on her sides. The shoulders definitely ruin the idea that she's wearing an undershirt with a vest over it, which is part of the charm of the original look:  (I think they explain the stretching away by saying her nerd friend invented a solvent that makes fabric stretchy) and the silhouette lines are something they do on superhero outfit to make the person look skinnier than they are. They're like these types of dresses:  And they work, there's no deep shame in having them. Loads of male heroes have them too... but even though I know it's foolish to expect otherwise I'm still going to be a bit depressed that the 15 year-old everygirl superheroine of the 21st Century has to have them too. The shininess doesn't actually bug me either, in-fact I kind of like it as a way to delineate her as a kid the same way lots of kids wear bright high-vis colors so they're easy to spot when you're at the park or something, I'm more wondering why she's like that in the show itself.

In the comics it literally starts as a burkini that she was gifted as a teen but then never wore. She modifies it to be a disguise/supersuit. It's a fairly blank slate type of one-piece costume, some have more flowing components and are more dress-like than others in the middle, but they are more form-fitting underneath and in the arms/legs.

That's cool. I had totally forgotten about that. Definitely isn't how most artists draw her with it, but hey it's inconsequential. What matters is how it looks in motion. Most MCU outfits look goofy when the actors are standing around, but flow really well in motion.

Terror Sweat posted:It's weird that people will watch Disney movies enthusiastically but then cancel youtubers for banal poo poo like this Lmao it's not directly to do with this, though Tiny Guns 2 is pretty bad, but because they're intimately associated with Black Rifle coffee co. BRCC are literal fascist sympathisers because among other things they sponsored a Ukrainian neo-nazi war crimimal from the Azov Battalion. Corridor and BRCC do promotion for each other and they regularly post together on social media, even Tiny Guns 2 was a collab. Their only response was around the Rittenhouse drama where the main guy said "it's my birthday I can't address this right now" and then quiet since then except for replying "gotta get my sheckles" to someone asking how they like the Nazi money on Reddit. Edit:  Tiny guns is even worse than I remembered, there are hordes of suicide bombers that they defeat by dialling every number in the phone book to blow them up one by one before the soldiers literally go "HOORAH" and smile into the sunset BurritoJustice fucked around with this message at 07:32 on May 2, 2021 |

Comrade Fakename posted:The problem with this show is that it fundamentally views the world from the point of a corporation, though one that is staffed by at least some thoughtful people. Adding an even hotter take to it, the better time Karli thought of wasn't getting more work opportunities. It is realizing the capitalist system would double down on the Exploitation by making workers forced to give up certain labor rights for the sake of covering for labor shortfalls, and civil liberties suppressed under the excuse of restoring order that will totally come back after the disaster is over when you know it's here to stay. Look at Hong Kong, India and Hungary and ask yourself if worldwide disaster will mean better things for humanity. That is what made Karli become a Flag Smasher was because she saw the poo poo governments did during the Snap and decided to fight back
