Sorry but this sucks, Haz sucks, it's stupid, you can detect the same edgelord excitement in his plan as the 14 year old who writes essays for school about torturing and killing Barney but in doing so reveals that he is still very emotionally invested in Barney

I would simply invent and deploy a new type of professional mingler who would go around striking up convos with people leaving marvel movies, prompt them to describe the movie, and adopt that bullying affect of "oh yeah? sounds sick dude, (snickering) 3 hours long huh?"

(streaming services are the problem here, capitalist alienation strikes again)

[–] dead@hexbear.net 20 points 9 hours ago

Haz has the same energy as Sid, the bully from Toy Story. He wants play with your toys so badly but he plans to also blow them up with firecrackers.

i-think-that I think star wars and marvel are cool and they should be allowed to exist post revolution

spoilerafter IP is dismantled and anyone is allowed to do whatever they want with them, copyright and canon are a fuck sicko-flipped

while i want a blossoming off original art in such a world i also really want to see where artists take things when everything becomes public domain.

like how theres some really amazing fanfics out there that put the original works to shame. but with a crew of thousands of dedicated people working on it and huge grants from the State Art Fund

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Star Wars I agree but I think Marvel slop should go. Even pre-cinematic universe it was going downhill.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Can we at least keep based Magneto the Nazi hunter around? I will never get tired of him murdering the shit out of fascists in the comics

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Alright fine, the X Men and maybe Guardians get a pass

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If it makes it any better, I'm 100% okay with dropping mossad mutant Sabra

Sabra

They had the opportunity to call her mutant nickname "Hasbara" and just blew it like that.

Bad excuse to post this goober please let me dodge this part of Twitter 😰 I follow anti-imperialist Arab accounts and Infrared is trying to gain notoriety with them. Hinkle is sidling up to Yemen and Venezuela. He's not a broken clock they have a strategy to use you guys as a relay.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think this is lame and stupid edgelord bullshit for babies.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Sometimes, some people try so hard to be "mature" that they are very immature about it, like wanting a violent death for cartoon characters.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

smug-explain:

“Your attention please, fellow adults! I have an announcement to make!”

“Barney bad. That is all.”

Literally Happy Tree Friends lmao

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago

That was a bad time; a lot of people I knew were really into Happy Tree Friends for a while and kept showing me clips of it.

One was enough to get the idea, but for a time it seemed like there was an endless appetite for "what if cute thing that's friendly for all ages... but horribly murdered?" so-true

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 12 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

This is just let’s kill Barney for cynical leftists

Also what’s with the Mickey Mouse hate? Disney and Disney adults all suck, but Mickey is just a cute mouse. The Disney fandom doesn’t even give a shit about Mickey Mouse. Free my boy Mickey

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 10 points 9 hours ago
[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

but Mickey is just a cute mouse.

I got some bad news buddy (CW: racism)

[–] bortsampson@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

Stereotyped characterizations of black people were then common (with Mickey's design itself apparently evolved from blackface caricatures used in minstrel shows, down to the gloves).

WOW

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 58 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

More Americans would protest this then they would protest actual executions lol

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 15 points 11 hours ago

All I can think about is the number of deathly hallows tattoos in that crowd.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 12 hours ago

I think it might be seen as an epic grimdark reboot, and the same treatbrains would expect a sequel where all the murdered characters are now murderfucking zombies that are murderfucking whatever the first movie didn't have time to slaughter yet. so-true

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 22 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I love the idea that the state is going to enforce an "official canon" for Marvel and Star Wars. Like if you write a fan fic about Luke and Han having a gay love affair and try and pass it as canon the Fiction NKVD is gonna bust down your door.

[–] TheaJo@hexbear.net 19 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago

Of course comrade, we need to review all the material we confiscate to make sure it lines up with official state canon.

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 28 points 12 hours ago

probably his funniest tweet

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 22 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Add in Eric Cartman and you have yourself a deal.

Meh, weak. When I'm supreme leader I'm going to make all professional athletes kiss and hold hands before the match. Nascar drivers have to use tongue.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 12 hours ago (8 children)

"And that official canon, because it's so grimdark and edgy, will make the edgelords even more excited and they will demand even gorier remakes!" so-true

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I swear in the US that we never culturally left the 90’s.

Hell, the modern CHUD seems to pride themselves in essentially being the embodiment of dumb 90’s ‘tude.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 7 hours ago

my-hero entire brand identity is Xtreme 90s with "dae le sex dae le 69 fart sound here" arrested development.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 10 hours ago (7 children)

First rule of capeshit is that heroes (and villains) never die, and even if they do, someone will take their capes*, so there's infinite material for sequels.

*This of course sounds worse once you get older than 13 and understand it's because character development is expensive and not always successful, though 90% of DC universe and 80% of Marvel seems to make the latter point entirely moot.

4 hours long. Entire movie will be just Yakov Yurovsky shooting every single American hero in existence, while Shahab Morabi reads their names and comments.

To be fair, Marvel also did something similar once, but it was less fun.

[–] Deadend@hexbear.net 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It’s weak.

Instead they should be shown to be hollow facades who can’t even bring joy into the world, the characters all get wiped out when the decaying infrastructure collapses under the fury of a category 6 hurricane.

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 10 points 11 hours ago

the characters all get wiped out when the decaying infrastructure collapses under the fury of a category 6 hurricane

Pretty sure they already did that in Loki

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I've never watched Marvel, do I get to sit out?

Nah it's so generic you can shit on it even without actually watching.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As long as SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward survive, I'm up for it. Mr Krabs can get fucked though.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

Definitely.

How naive I was to think Mr. KKKrabs was just a cartoon caricature. Critical support to plankton for disrespecting IP laws, but it was still petit-bourgeois pork-on-pork violence.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 21 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Ugh. This is my exact ideology. Is this what it feels like when libs realize they think the same things about Russians that Hitler did?
