Just because someone isn't full ACAB, it doesn't mean they're a boot-licker. There are good cops as well as shitty ones.

And, yeah, the employees weren't doing their job. To be honest, it was probably an excuse to get fired. <_<

Not directly, but it annoys me when gore is okay and sexuality is not.

Having women in sexual situations or revealing outfits (allegedly) leads viewers to not respect women and not respecting women makes women more susceptible to rape. But ripping someone's head off is perfectly acceptable. Or stabbing people in the eye with tools one can find around the house -- something you could actually hypothetically do.

But sex bad.

What is gained from keeping this person alive? A false sense of moral superiority? You're torturing the guy indefinitely in the name of mercy, allowing profiteers of human suffering to make bank, and allowing him to potentially continue to harass black people and promote white supremacist ideology within the prison system.

I don't feel bad about removing a blight like him from existence.

No, stop. Taking a life is never justified. He had so much more to gain from sitting in a cell for five decades harassing black inmates and guards.

Lol well thanks Pancake, good to be appreciated.

Actually Fortune, they were all Ice Climber sprites.

Oh, wow. I was thinking those sprites on the upper right-hand side were the pigs in a blanket ghosts from Ghosts 'n Goblins.

They're not gonna canonize the Fox movies.

There would be no reason to.

Anything they would have gained from having a ready made franchise would be lost by having a bunch of middle aged superheroes and miles of continuity errors.

It would be awkward to try and canonize the Fox series into the MCU because of Magneto, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch. Even without that, it would still be an ass pull.

"You remember the X-Men? They fought atop the Statue of Liberty back in 2000. It was around that time that one politician was making those anti-mutant speeches."

Nice job on the modified Ice Climber and Ghosts 'n Goblins sprites. They look really neat.

Never understood taking credit for your ancestor's work

Considering that a great deal of "running the world" included genocide and slavery, I wouldn't be claiming that Manifest Destiny as a token of victory.

I'm not speaking hatred for America. I'm just pointing out that those are historically a part of the nation's history.

Weak character? He was the easiest of the four boss fights in Street Fighter II, but he still wasn't somebody to take your eye off of. On top of that, a player could cut through the competition pretty easily if they were playing as him. I guess most people just sucked at playing as him.

I'm not trying to equate it with Black slavery. It's one thing to be enslaved as a person and another to be selected for enslavement as a race.

I already said it didn't compare.

And the treatment of Black slaves as we know it -- excess brutality -- was specifically done to keep White indentured servants in line by standard of comparison. "You got it bad, but at least not as bad as him."

Then White indentured servants were gradually phased out in favor of racial superiority narratives and slaves who could be subjected to the greatest of horrors without having any voice or any sympathy in society.

It's a very weird form of genocide since he's luring his own followers to their doom through noncompliance. It's not as if he said, "If you get sick, pay a visit to the nearest Black or Latino community."

He's more like a homicidal cult leader than a genocidal maniac.

I'm going to be honest though, I'm keeping that card in my back pocket in case it ever becomes relevant. In the 0.3% chance that somebody tells me that I don't know what it was like to be brought to this country in chains, I will say "My ancestor (name redacted) was brought to this country in chains."

it was destined for failure either way, what's the point of releasing a movie about a character they've killed off in the main plotline anyway?

If a dime were on the verge of rolling off a cliff, Disney would send somebody to go fetch it.

Sorry.

It's just annoying when I casually mention a hypothetical remake of Captain America and someone pulls a "Well, actually..." citing Feige.

It might be 10 years.
It might be 40 years.
It will happen.

2020 going to be a CE kind of year ~ Panthera

Kevin Feige will live forever. He will see to it that the continuity is upheld in the coming centuries. It's the only way he can prevent these characters from ever appearing in remakes.

He must've used his Disney connections to wish for eternal life and authority.



"Mister Feige, sir. Have a wish or two or three... The world has heard your every word and a remake will never be!"

Washington Rednecks

While I'd love to see the people who said Redskins wasn't offensive suddenly on the defensive, turning it around to malign white people instead of Native Americans isn't the answer. It's just replacing an unacceptable target with an acceptable target. The concept of an acceptable target is the underlining problem.
