Random Politics & Religion #06

If that's what you call an observation then you'd be completely wrong in making that one... Men of all colors die on the screen and no one gives a ***so it isn't just white guys... You bring up something as ludicrous as that then call it an observation which idk you seem to think brings it legitimacy or something... Also your observation that claims I'm defensive is wrong as well and makes no sense whatsoever... What exactly am I being defensive about? Lol...

As for me not posting why don't you just continue to cry to the mods to try to get what you want? You're pretty well versed in that...

Look, I don't give a *** about who gets what casting. The same idiots pitched a fit when Samuel Jackson was casted as Nick Fury.

I don't care about any of that. I'm just pointing out that nobody gives a ***about white, adult men getting killed on camera, but everyone flips a ***when somebody who's not white and/or male gets killed on camera.

I mean, come on, it's fiction, not reality!

Why though? They're not actually Vikings for one as they are not even from earth...

does Thor actually exist? Is this movie claiming historical accuracy?

It's a comic book movie and I don't see why people place so much interest on race or sex when they can just sit on their fat *** with the rest of us and enjoy watching them blow some stuff up...

I don't personally care, and I certainly don't have nerd rages over casting choices. But if they cast Black Falcon as a white guy, would you be sitting here telling us that we shouldn't care?

Seriously, are you arguing just for the sake of arguing?

Either argue my point or don't bother.

That is exactly what I'm telling you...

If only people cared about real things instead of comic book issues !

I did as I said your "observation" is ridiculous... It isn't only white guys and most times people don't even give a ***about women in most situations... Now pets on the other hand... People lose their ***over a dog getting the axe...

Right now, real life sucks. We're stuck with either George W. Bush 2.0 or Make America Xenophobic Again guy. Better conversations can be had about comic books.

I think it's a bit naive to think seafaring conquerors wouldn't have dipped their toes. There was some article I read ages ago about genealogical ties of the people of the Orkney islands and North Africa. Since it's documented that raids stretched to the Iberian Peninsula they could have easily tangled with Moors.

People are ***' silly.

I suggest you take the comic book discussion to the random comic book discussion thread !

You had me at Orkney Islands !

Yeah, that's what I got from the whole Finn debacle because the internet was full of ridiculous mouthbreathers making no sense but raising alot of hell over a black stormtrooper. Complete with the racial shitstorm that we're just supposed to accept as status quo on the internet.

Nevermind stormtroopers have long stopped being clones and were basically just drafted, indoctrinated people the vocal nerdship couldn't handle not seeing themselves in every character. It wasn't even a logical reaction, just a knee jerk one in the same vein that Tumblr is full of idiots who want to see clouds as somehow part of the inherent systems of oppression.

These people do no one any favors.

The only thing worse than racism is reading about it on an internet forum !

I consider myself to be a YUGE James Bond fan and one of the most embarassing moments in fan history was when people *** all over Daniel Craig because he was blonde and blue eyed. What the actual ***??? I mean, the guy was trashed. Over his eyes and hair. And don't get me started on people bitching that Felix Leiter was going to be played by a black guy, Jeffery Wright.

Then Casino Royale happened and the Bond series has yet to hit the heights of that movie. Craig knocked it out of the park and every dumb, scum sucking idiot talking about how someone 'looked' was forced to drink a glass of shut the *** up. Likewise, the new Felix was a refreshing, modern take on the series.

Seriously, Bond is back into a rut. Spectre was lame. Craig was right to get out of there and the series needs to throw out the mold.. again.

ftfy

Yeah, but when the candidates have traits of comic book villains, expect some crossover.

damnit, 3.

Don't worry Hillary will finally end sexism people like me will no longer exist. The feminists won !

Actually it might take two terms to end sexism it has plagued mankind for too long me brothers !

Really? Do you even action movie, bro?

Charles Bronson alone has taken out the population of a third world country in the Death Wish series alone. Did you even see when this guy took a minigun to the most diverse random *** thugs ever? I grew hair on my face that day. There was so much bloodshed and Reagan era propaganda I wanted to stand up and sing God Bless America as Bronson laid waste to criminal scum.

Don't worry Mel Gibson is going to make a comeback with Mad Max Feminist Road !

Vikings set in Russia, southern Europe and even in Africa, they were one of the populations who helped spreading cultures the most. But only the romans went to Scandinavia(kind of). Not exactly a place of great interest throughout history.

Don't worry Trump will build a wall around Scandinavia and put an end to Vikings once and for all !

To say that only white guys get gunned down as mooks in movies show you guys clearly don't watch movies for ***.

Any movie about Asia features the most ambiguous....North Koreans ever. Most of them will be blown up, maimed, shot, stabbed, eviscerated, thrown into a meat grinder or run over with a tank.

If it's a movie about drugs, odds are some Hispanics are going to meet American diplomacy in the shape of a harpoon gun, grenade or Danny Trejo kicking so much *** you're going to want to read the guys biography about turning from a criminal into a pretty successful action star.

Is the movie in Europe? Better call out my gang of rando...Russians who aren't actually Russian but have funny accents. They smuggle women and are the offbrand white guys but sure as sunrise they too are going to be smashed against the rocks of protagonist asskickery. See John Wick, or how Keanu Reeves is one of the nicest badasses you've ever met.

Also, if you need stock baddies. Visit the black guy emporium. Half off on tall, large black guys who act as enforcers. Buy two, get both of them blown up by the protagonist half off.

Yea Slavic's catch a bad deal in movies. Eastern Europeans gets no love.

To reiterate: No one cares about mooks. Period. The sole purpose of mooks is to die in some fashion so the protagonist looks like a *** badass.

Benicio del Toro was run through a chipper in Licence to Kill and not once did I stop and say "wow, they just kill a Puerto Rican guy on screen?? I'M SO OFFENDED."

I did kinda laugh when Kananga died in Bond's blaxsploitation movie because the dude turned into a balloon and exploded. No guts or anything.

Seriously, tell me you didn't laugh.

I think Obama should be the next James Bond. As a former president I think that qualifies him !

Watch them deflect left and right then try to somehow say it's men's fault for society finding male genital mutilation humerus.

I don't know how this even partains to the conversation at hand.
And it's humorous.
And no one finds it so.
