TopicIs the classic movie 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer' sexist and bigoted?

Every year I watch Rudolph and expect the line about "man's work" and the yellow skinned Inuits with black eyes to be censored. I was wondering when they'd come for Rudolph. I guess that time is now.

It's a pity that acceptable history began in 2009. We miss out on the vast majority of everything that happened by limiting ourselves to only that which offends no one.

I would not bothered too much if the line were omitted.

Speaking of Ninja Gaiden, I own a copy of Ninja Gaiden Trilogy for SNES which still has the $15 price tag on it. I bought it years ago because I had the first two games on NES and thought maybe the third game would be outside of what I was willing to pay. Today, the SNES compilation goes for $179.

Trying to find the most cost efficient option can be a game in and of itself.

uh, he's the first Norse superhero that marvel put onscreen. Why are they pushing that political agenda onto us? Why are they always inserting their politics into their movies?


Norse people haven't been marginalized or discriminated against. There's no political benefit to giving a Norse individual glass elevator treatment. I am pro inclusion, but I believe that you have to put forth the same effort and give the same consideration to making a member of a minority demographic or focus demographic as interesting as any other.

Since this is a Disney movie, I'll use Pocahontas as an example. Disney was proud of the fact that they were featuring their first ever Native American female lead. And nobody liked the movie because it had no plot and no substance. The talking lion movie made by the studio's b team became the classic of that year. And that's not because the protagonist they chose lacked potential or because audiences were prejudiced. It's because one film had effort and sincerity whereas the other was a bid for recognition.

They advertised that she would be the strongest character yet and that she'd move worlds. That has me thinking that they care more about being progressive than telling a good story. And that benefits no one.

But I retracted my complaint since she's apparently not getting any special treatment. In my absence, the MCU seems to have shifted to focusing on more godlike beings who can move stars and traverse dimensions.

Technically, this one.

I abandoned my heterosexist views sometime back in the 2000s because of an argument presented on this very site. I wasn't a hater of homosexuals, but I was one of those conservative the Bible says types. It's something that I would've eventually changed anyway, but a simple discussion encouraged that change much sooner and so that is one considerable positive I must say about this place.

The measure of a person is not so much in never being wrong, but rather in how you react upon discovering you're wrong.

They try to set up for a dream match finale, but it's not going to happen. You can't put one character on one side of a tournament and their rival on the other in hopes that they'll meet up. If they want Mario versus Sonic, or Mario versus Bowser, they need to pair them off so that one of these conflicts will be in the semi-finals or quarter-finals. Otherwise, they're not going to happen.

Can you tell me why Thor being so powerful isn't a political statement?


If Thor were the first member of his demographic to star in a movie, and was automatically better than everyone else, it would be.

But, as we've established, her power level isn't so freakishly above that of the other heroes as some of the early marketing might've suggested.

But that's fine because Thor is a DUDE.


Which would make since if I hadn't praised Wonder Woman who was just as powerful as Superman. (Or appeared to be in Batman v. Superman. I haven't seen Justice League yet.)

But, hey, I'm sure you could still spin it to be sexist. I like Wonder Woman because she's the good girl who stays in the kitchen whenever she's not on screen and Captain Marvel is the eevil woman with career ambitions or something like that. I don't know. You tell me how it's sexist.

It's not being powerful that's the problem. It's that they went out of their way to say that she'd be the most powerful character and could move worlds. Imagine if they had done that with Black Panther or with their first LGBT protagonist.

To be fair, you can't copy what makes the competition who they are.

When you say Marvel, comedy is the first thing which comes to most people's minds. While I agree that DC has made some bad decisions, I think it's a wise one not to copy the competition verbatim. Nobody likes an impersonator.

I've advocated a Marvel movie with a female lead since around 2012, but making your first female character Goku levels of power in a world of mostly street level heroes is totally a political play.

Not to mention that comic book Carol Danvers is best known for changing her name from the oh-so-sexist Miss Marvel to Captain Marvel.

But when you go around the room shaking everybody's hand, and you leave exactly one person out, you've snubbed them. It's not an oversight. It's not that person's paranoia or misunderstanding. It's direct intent on the person who snubbed them.

Google even made a statement on the Easter omission which was basically, "Well, we did a bumper 18 years ago." That's deliberate.

When I say that I don't remember any other Batman annoying me as much, I mean Batman as a character. Batman & Robin, the film, is one of the most annoying movies ever made.

Kilmer had no presence and I hardly remember Clooney's performance. Between the bat-nipples, lame puns, cartoon antics, needless bright lights, and overall lack of a story, I really can't say that I remember anything George Clooney did or said aside from, "This is why Superman works alone."

In the first two Nolan films, especially Begins, I pretty much wanted to punch Bruce Wayne in the face anytime he was on screen.

What's weird to me is that they want to retroactively make her an iconic superhero. She has a costume which looks 1940s in design, her movie is set in the nostalgic 90s, and she's come from out of nowhere to be the go-to female character for Marvel.

It'd be like if a short lived cartoon character from the early 2000s were suddenly revamped with a style similar to golden age Mickey Mouse. And given their own version of Steamboat Willie so that the audience gets the idea that this is supposed to be a major cartoon character from days long past.
