Current Events > I cannot believe how many young men eat up all this super-hero crap....

(+) Yeah! (+)

It really does reek of "I'm a bitter beta man who likes seeing super heroes beat up my childhood bullies and more virile high school rival males...."

I'd be pretty embarrassed.

None of this makes sense, maybe you dont actually watch the superhero films and just made a baseless judgement.

I've seen a few over the years, they're all pretty samey... I didn't cite a study... I just said how I feel about it, you are however coming off a bit defensive rofl.

Dude do u watch chick flicks?

Look, I want this superhero trend to be over as much as the next guy, but that's some serious projecting you got going on.

You sound like a very angry and bitter person topic creator, I will pray to Arceus for your soul.

chick flicks and super-hero movies are the two choices.

The only people who actually like capeshit are low IQ conformist normies.
Bitter virgin nerds actually hate that crap.

men who use terms like conformist or normie, are definitively low on the totem pole.

I hate superhero stuff but not for that reason, lol

did you know you were gonna engage in shitty trolling when you woke up or did it just kind of happen?

Oh a Pokemon hater too ?, There is no saving you and it is a waste of time to do so.

Yes I am still a fan of Pokemon at 30, just like I enjoy Gears of War, going to the gun range, and going out with my ladies for fun evenings.

boy you are a treasure trove of cringe humor and hackey comebacks.

i am in no way angry; and anyone with a 1-incher would be delighted to read your posts and know there are men out there more impotent than he.

It's just another male power fantasy just like every other action hero which have been around ever since men told stories around a campfire. Stop acting like you are so special since you're not interested in them.

I feel the same way about the fact that there are 8 Fast and the Furious movies and the FF games, but I don't make a thread about it projecting like a child on an internet forum.

you don't think this looks cool?

maybe you don't realize but literaly ever single movie that Marvel has done for the past DECADE has been leading up to this movie. every single film was building on a universe, so that they could this right here. Infinity War. Thanos invades the earth and the entire cast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe teams up to resist him. if you don't get why that is awesome, you didn't pay any attention at all to the what these movies were doing, or you don't read comics and you have no idea who Thanos is. but there is a reason why people are excited for this movie.

I believe the topic creator just wants attention, might need a hug too.

I enjoy superhero movies but was not bullied and am not a bitter person. I just think they're fun and, to the extent that they have themes, are generally about helping people and not being a dick. And I like helping people and not being a dick!

To me it actually is a little different and I'll tell you why even though apparently my opinion is very unwelcome on this board (I wonder why)

Action movies (that only require a modest suspension of disbelief [realistic movies]) represent the successful procreative man /generally/, i'm talking in patterns not absolutes... The superhero movie is about peter parker, steven rogers, etc. a small weak (beta) becoming supreme over the normal virile man through some strange fluke... gets the girl, etc.

So clearly TC you don't play video games at all then, because that's an escape from reality as you describe just as much as watching a Marvel film is. I wonder why you would even be on a gaming forum if you don't even game? Surely you aren't just a hypocrite.

I've not played a video game for any extended amount of time for probably going on 6 years. I wasn't speaking in absolute terms I'll repeat. But yeah, even when I did, it was a modest amount, I didn't even REALIZE until I was about 22 in the Army, how many people spend literally all of their free time playing video games and indulging in fantasy. Indolent childish behavior that makes it WAY more easy for me to get laid. But I do wish for many men's mental health and future that this trend be reversed... really...

You weren't in the Army, and I will flat out call you a liar if you claim you were because if you had any respect for doing so, you would take to heart the values and respect taught and wouldn't act like this for the sake of trolling on a video game forum. Shut the fuck up.

No I deleted it because I didn't like how it sounded. I argued with you before; you're that weirdo who runs a facebook page for people who irl believe they met aliens, and I posted your embarrassing photos on here.

I find it cute he doesnt think super hero films and gaming are main stream now, must be amazing to be this delusional.

I have never seen denial of that magnitude lol.

I can feel the embarrassment for you... I just wish you were self-aware.

my dad served in the army for 20 years from like late 70's to mid 90's. and was even an officer. he is a baby boomer, and he actually sometimes watches super hero movies too. he never read the comics and doesn't know who half the people are. but he liked Guardians of the Galaxy.

Yeah hats off to him; I realized people do that WHILE IN the army because my fellow soldiers would DO that.

I have veteran friends who spend every waking moment on MMOs... It's horrible.

lol "jock types"

Lifting weights does not a man make. I love lifting; I don't think the obsession is healthy either, it often does stem from a victimhood sort of thing, like becoming their own super hero to the exclusion of responsibilities... That's why you go to those wasteland gym temples like in gold's in california or harbor in brooklyn and you see people living out of cars and just lifting and trying to get supplement sponsorships... (I've seen all that crap) It's also escapism... I'd say a little healthier and more procreative than an obsession with superhero movies however lmao....

Now you can ARREST Davon that boy who got the girl you liked in highschool! Good job.

I was wrong, considering that even is your uniform. It would be just as easy to grab one out of the closet of someone you lived with that served. I didn't think an adult that served would act like such a child on the internet, especially someone who "hasn't played a video game in 6 years" yet still visits a video game forum to troll. My mistake, makes me lose a bit of hope that even if someone can serve can come out learning absolutely nothing about respect and honor.
---

OP doesn't like super hero movies yet claims to have the super power of knowing what everyone else is thinking and why they do what they do.
---

I hate when someone literally talks like they have authority over what's cool and what's not. It's like you just figured out that having an opinion might tick some people off but you're such a self appointed authority on the subject it just goes over your head. Cant wait for infinity wars or whatever the new avengers is called.

Your whole statement is just "ITS NOT URS! >:U" when it obviously is, I put in my DD 214 buddy, you think kids who havent served just have uniforms and respective DD 214s handy...? The denial is AMAZING.

Also your statement is based on the premise that my intention is to troll for my enjoyment, no I think young men have a new problem where they can retreat from real-world problems and that in turn is devastating for society... Indolent young adults have allowed our society to slip into latter roman-empire level hedonism and complacency.

Yeah, amazing. It took me a 10 second web search to find a printable copy of discharge papers, filled out or blank. Seriously, google it and see how easy it is. And no one in the world lives with someone that served in the military that has a uniform in their house somewhere. The impossibilities are unfathomable, how could I be so wrong? It's so obviously yours.

You may want to go through another mental evaluation if people liking movies bothers you this much.
