And there's the pretext to invade Mexico, or maybe just nuke it.

I'm hurt that you have no Atari.

No, wait, I'm hurt that you said some are older than you and you have nothing from before I was 14 or so.

No, wait, I'm hurt because I'm old and my joints ache.

Nah, he knows the postal service can now just be shut down, Constitution be damned. He did his job and burned down his competition.

These fuckers never have ideas. Just rage.

He goes back to Metropolis.

He owns The Daily Planet.

Damn, he beat the record by 42 seconds. That's extremely impressive. I'd assumed it would be less then a ten second difference.

You might be able to buy a candy bar.

Then it becomes copypasta and judges get tired of having to sit through the same rant over and over.

There are parts of it that I definitely like, don't get me wrong. It's just that sometimes I can take a step back and forget that it's about cancer, death, eternity, and killing all the gods in the name of revenge... because Zeus makes a bunch of dick jokes and some goats keep screaming.

Tone matters. I lost a decent amount of respect for Taika Waititi that he didn't realize he had a serious tonal conflict in his movie.

Fair point.

Having read the spoilery review, I think I will enjoy it just fine. The main complaints seem to boil down to Marvel fatigue in my eyes.

I've never forgotten these are comic book movies, and carry over some of the issues that comics have.

I'm not saying they can't be better, I just don't expect all that much out of em. My expectations are for a good time and maybe a surprise or two.

Of the recent ones, Thor: Love & Thunder was easily the worst. It never decided on a tone, so kept veering from sorrowful to silly.

He charged people to do it.

He was a professional terrorist.

Considering he's fucking with the leadership of the military, it's definitely not going to go well.

Plus we have a supposed volunteer military. Do ya think they want to go attack Ukraine? No. No, I don't think they do.

It is definitely not too late for that.

That's fair. I'd just rather see the left try to unify then assign blame and fall further to infighting.

We will need all the allies we can muster to pull through this.

And give up half a trillion in 'rare earths'. That'll be a hard no, and Trump wants to end NATO anyway. What horseshit.

Appropriate username.

The Democratic party has no institutional power at the moment. Stop assessing blame to them and focus in who is allied and able to help.

Blaming the Democratic Party is completely useless, as useless as you believe them to be. In part they are captured, and in part they are literally in the jaws of a fascist government.

And you're still blaming them for this moment. They might end up at GITMO.

A buddy of mine was interviewing for a job and got it in part because he was a player in one of my games. They knew they could get along with him.

You're right, it's exclusive when it shouldn't be.

I would expand the question. "Sci-fi had always inspired me, what clicks for you and why?"
