This is confusing but if someone sat down and took 5 minutes to explain it to me I'm sure it'd make perfect sense. In fact my wife is a 4/5th grade math teacher, she probably teaches this exact way

Every movie is either a Marvel movie or DC movie, including ones made before either of those companies existed. Great Train Robbery? DC. Modern Times? Marvel. Also Singin' in the Rain is part of the Snyderverse, no I will not be taking any questions thank you.

But no, this person goes the complete other direction.

A Buttery Pastry posted:i'm not sure bond really fits here. the general rule for bond action sequences as i recall them is that he generally only comes out on top by fighting dirty/being lucky/his opponent leaving him an opening by gloating at bond being weak. and of course he also just convinces people not to fight, because he knows he'd get his rear end kicked. ? Bond has tons of scenes where he just barrels in and takes out dozens of armed men single-handedly

Plenty of action movies are ostensibly about a regular guy against overwhelming odds, but through sequelitis you get something like Rambo IV where he singlehandedly kills a dozen soldiers using a machete. I think it's disingenuous to call that a superhero movie though, because that genre has pretty clear parameters and you don't need to exaggerate how common they are now.

the thing that kills me about superhero poo poo is there’s a lot of potential for “what if society had super humans appearing in it” that isn’t cape poo poo but it’s all left on the work table because the inherent understanding is that these are children’s products. the boys really has their number, it’s just that there’s such a What’s Water issue with people that they don’t see themselves in the series as the people being abused and killed by these superhumans. a marvel fan watching the boys and being like “hell yeah, more cape stuff” is probably why the show thrives though.

But no, this person goes the complete other direction. There was a time when this argument looked like it might have legs. Back with the first Ant-man where Disney hired Edgar Wright and was still pretending that they let the directors have free reign and you had Winter Soldier as political thriller and Ant-man as a heist movie--still fundamentally superhero movies but ones that were willing to be a bit more experimental about the genre, but ultimately none of that went anywhere and Disney really started taking direct control of the creative process

So if you notice that 92 = 40 + 40 +12 Well what's 40/2 + 40/2 + 12/2 It's 20 + 20 + 6 right Ok add those back up and you're done: 46 Practice and you can do it in your head Or you can do long division with carrying and poo poo but unless you're really good at visualization you're going to have to write it all out every time.

I agree with the point "why would you do 40 + 40 + 12" rather than "80 + 2." but then again I can do four digit long division in my head so this just seems like extra legwork

Some people get mad about it because they just had long division drilled into them by rote memorization and repetition, and it seems easy to them now because they're used it, but they don't understand where the procedure comes from so asking them to understand another method seems like pointless extra work. Learning is hard, doing what I know is easy, so it must be the same for my kid (who hasn't learned yet), if it's harder for me it's harder for them. Like that lady said (and respect for admitting it), not understanding their kid's homework makes them feel stupid.

But not all. If someone asked me 1018/2 I'm going to do 1000/2 +18/2, I'm not going to sit there and imagine setting up long division and bringing down zeros etc but ymmv

Easy on the school, but probably a bad plan. Another solution might be to never teach kids anything new. Easy on the parents, but also maybe not great. Others might be providing free tutoring for the kids or offering a class for the parents but those cost money so
