While I appreciate precise language, I don't particularly care about splitting hairs like that.

I simply disagree with TCs conclusion. If a commercial can be cinema so can s marvel movie. I'm sure the Russo brothers pushed marvel not the other way around, for instance.

It was an average movie overall, Kato was really good though, spot on.

So I'm right about 40 minutes in and barely anything has happened. If you like Seth Rogen then it's average or maybe a bit better. But it's a lot of setup with out a lot of payoff, even for the first act of a movie. The jokes don't land at all if you don't like Rogens personal style (which I'd constrast with some of his more popular movies that would work with different actors). Kato is definitely the best part, his action scenes are the redeeming part of the movie

None of them are remotely close to realistic. There's been several attempts at creating a "realistic super hero comic" and outside of the joke ones where shit like Peter Parker is bit by a radioactive spider and gets sick and dies, the "most realistic" is probably Watchmen.

It's a novel, not a comic, but my favorite realistic superhero narrative is 'the violent century,'

They did, but the Razr was the first really big and well known flip phone, just like the iPhone is the first really big and well known Smartphone. Smartphones technically existed before the iPhone, its just that the iPhone was the first to really take off and start the Smartphone era.

When you put it that way I'm not sure that the flip phone era existed. The draw of the razr wasn't the flipping, it was the profile and sleekness.

Out of curiosity, what do you see as the desired outcome of reparations? I'm talking less number of dollars and more what is it supposed to help the people receiving it achieve? And once those reparations have been paid, do you see the slate as being wiped clean or are we right back in the exact same spot we were before?

I think they're morally justified, I haven't given much thought to the structure. The intent is just righting past wrongs. I don't think it wipes the slate clean because there are other things driving modern day disparities and inequities than history, but I do think that it would help. It wouldn't be as good as a more robust social safety net for everyone imo but it would definitely help

If the standards for language held true for everyone the majority of the FGC would be banned.

If you think the bans they were doing before were about some kind of integrity and not to please sponsors you are delusional and the Mr. Wizard thing is the reality of the situation. He was the ultimate pearl clutcher.

But these new reactions are totally pure hearted and not about sponsors or something?
