BATMAN: Don't lecture me about death! Thousands were killed the day you decided to help. The lowlifes I've put in the ground would've hurt good people, you nearly decimated an entire population because you chose not to lead Zod out of the city.

 

SUPERMAN: So I should've just stood by and let him destroy the planet? The people you've killed may be criminals, but they're fathers... sons... brothers. You've crossed the line and I can't accept that.

 

Sad thing is I wrote this in 20 minutes.

Sadly there are only two big events left this year and next one is like 4 months away.   
 

Maybe rerelease month will produce some entertainment.

Yeah tell that to Black Panther.

Yeah I'm sure Marvel really fretted over the two minutes everyone complains about while being nominated for Best Picture.

 

Though TBH at this point it'll be even funnier when that movie drops and it's also a major hit like the first one. In a hillarious way the over-outrage about Love and Thunder is gonna make.Marvel the underdog again

There's no over outrage.  

 

Buuuuuut I agree that it is kind of nice to be back in underdog mode again for a bit. That underdog ethos was a big part of the quality and success from 2008-2014 imo and losing it may be responsible for some of the recent missteps. Also makes BO more fun.

The massive backlash to a random clip of Waititi making a joke during a Vanity Fair promo is absolutely over the top

I agree with that but that isn't even about the movie really. People were overreacting to taika Twitter stuff long before we'd ever seen the movie

It would normally seem crazy but he's that is what happens when people decide one mixed reception is worthy of eighty billion think pieces from even elite outlets like TIME about how the MCU is failing, yes

Lol, take a few hours off here and you miss a lot.  After seeing the ages of nearly everyone here, it is no wonder that this board and most of your opinions are the way they are.  

 

The vast majority of you have never been through a truly hard work day in your lives.  Most have grown up in a fantasy land of good economics, low interest rates, plentiful jobs and cushy working conditions. Mommy and daddy have taken care of most everything and student loans took care of the rest.  Maybe you had to man a register at the local Target at some point.  

 

All of you are in the "great resignation" generation, the generation that cries about being overworked and underpaid and very likely have never spent a day on a hot roof putting down shingles or detassiling corn in 100 degree heat or spent a summer pouring concrete to the point you pass out.  Shit that paid you $5.15 to start and maybe $8 per hour if you were lucky.  

 

VFX artists are paid market rate and their working conditions are more than adequate.  They work on tight timelines, but they also work in air conditioned offices and have benefits and perks as well.  

 

So many of you are in for a rude awakening when the next economic downturn truly hits, and that might be about 2-3 months away from happening.  So many that have written shitty think piece posts and made silly demands from their work while being artificially lifted up by stimulus money are going to be begging to take a job when reality kicks them in the teeth.  

 

Get ready, it's coming.  The people who will survive it will be the people willing to work.
