@errantial @CharlieSleeps25 @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook Hereโs an equivalent scenario. Would you be ok with this cashing for this movie?
English
Nolan just won Best Picture less than 3 years ago for a movie with an essentially all-white cast
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse
Elon Musk salms Christopher Nolan ahead of the Odyssey premiere: "Chris Nolan desecrated Homer and groveled on his knees just to meet the woke rules required to win an Oscar. What a worm." Is he right about Nolan?
English
@CharlieSleeps25 @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote Weird assumption. I have yet to see the movie and thus haven't judged it's quality but you haven't seen it either and are assuming that it's slop and that I like it. Maybe just let the film speak for itself.
English
@errantial @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote You just enjoy slop and have no standards. Which is weird but whatever bro
English
@Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote He did the former, it's never been presented as a historically accurate version but rather Nolan's own adaptation.
English
@errantial @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote It shows a lack of respect, leading to crap
Look what happened with Ridley's Napoleon, the film was a jumbled mess that made no sense and completely failed
Either start off by saying it's an adaptation and don't justify inaccuracies, or just make close to accurate as possible๐คทโโ๏ธ
English
@CharlieSleeps25 @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote Ah yes different ethnicities = flying unicorns. A very equivalent scenario.
English
@errantial @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote You people are really dumb. Do you know why there wasn't flying unicorns in Jurassic Park? Like you really don't know anything about how stories work
English
@CharlieSleeps25 @TotesMagote @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook It def had moments intended to be comedy as a result of its time setting, not that the whole movie was tho lol
English
@errantial @TotesMagote @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook That wasn't comedy... lol
English
@Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote Idk man I can see you personally preferring different choices but I hardly think these things make the movie bad, just a different type of adaptation then you would want.
English
@errantial @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote The moron can't make his mind. Are there God's or not? If there isn't, why is there a cyclops and giants? Uses black bronze daggers to try a justify Batman armour but couldn't be bothered to build a ancient Greek ship. No orchestra as not historical, but modern rap is okay?

English
@TotesMagote @Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook While I dont want that for this movie, this has been executed for comedic success like in dicaprios romeo and juliet from 96. Not a good idea for a serious adaptation like Nolans but it can be done in a tasteful and fun manner.
English
@Hazcan159 @errantial @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook Letโs just have Odysseus traveling in a Ford F250 and shooting modern guns then since the historical period doesnโt matter.
English
QME
@Hazcan159 @TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote It isn't meant to be historically accurate, not that it could be on account of the fact that it's a fictional story with people who, if they existed, we know little about. It isn't 10 hours either, like a "true" adaptation would be. It's a stylized version of the story.
English
@TestikiIles @_lukeoutbelow @Jacksfacebook @TotesMagote That's even worse.
Man took on an ancient Greek Epic, didn't cast any Greeks in it, then threw in a Viking longship cause he doesn't care.
English
@butforreal14765 @TrTriton0501 This whole argument just stems from the false notion that being vulnerable and yelling always = insecurity or being a "lil bitch". Superman is showing his humanity by being vulnerable and opening up a bit to lex. He's justifiably angry after what lex has done.
English
@TrTriton0501 Oh we got expert media literacy over here.
"That's where you're wrong about me lex...." "I'm as human as anyone"
He does this while having a tantrum yelling like a pre pubescent about how he gets scared and doesn't know what he's doing?
Y'all are projecting your therapy speak
English
How does Superman showing HUMAN emotions and behavior through his vulnerability and admittance of his imperfections validate Lexโs viewpoints?
Lex views Superman as an inhuman โgodโ that serves to only make humans feel inferior. Supermanโs speech literally debunks that notion.
CinemaCopa@CopaExMachina
This is everything wrong with James Gunn's Superman all within 30 seconds. James Gunn's Superman is justifying himself to Lex Luthor of all people and therefore Lex Luthor actually wins in Superman 25. Gunn just doesn't know that's what he wrote. The real Superman doesn't ever need to do this. His confidence is quiet and built on an unshakable moral compass. By having Gunn's Superman stand there yelling, pleading, and begging Lex like a bitch to understand he "gets scared" and "screws up all the time", the character loses his status as the aspirational ideal. Instead of being an anchor for humanity to look up to, Superman is reduced to a defensive, relatable modern archetype desperate for validation, even if it's from the worst person imaginable. Modern screenwriting has this trend where every hero (no matter how mythic) MUST be broken down, filled with self-doubt, and constantly vocalize their anxieties. James Gunn is treating this moment (the very last scene Superman has a chance to truly be Superman) as a therapy session for himself. Lastly with this little monologue, Lex Luthor wins. The moment Superman loses his composure and starts shouting his insecurities like he overdosed on estrogen that morning, Lex wins the philosophical argument. In this movie, Lex's whole thing is to establish that Superman is a false god. An alien fraud. An unstable that needs to be stabilized or rid of. By showing that Superman is emotionally rattled, venting out his flaws, the narrative unknowingly validated Lex's suspicions. This alien is too emotionally fragile to hold the power of a god. Gunn thought he was writing a relatable Superman but really he just inserted himself. It would of been cheaper for all of us if his mom tied a red towel around his shoulders with a clothes pin and told him to go play outside for a little bit.

@CaseyRyback00 @PaulTassi Exactly. The imax theater near me has practically sold out tickets for the first two weeks. This movie will 100% be one of the biggest successes of the year regardles of the internet hate.
English
@PaulTassi This has been quite the ride. Part of me think its a non issue but as this film gets closer to the release the vitriol increases. I still think it will be one of the best box offices this year because the general audience arenโt incessantly online.

insane timeline where a Christopher Nolan movie about grizzled white dudes and beautiful women is in the too-woke-to-watch vortex

@Mid1Nat2 @asmartbrunette1 @DHSgov I mean if you want to delude yourself sure, but republicans aren't leftist, they're right of center zionists the same way dems are left of center zionists.
TR wanted worker protection rights, a minimum wage, inheritance taxes, and more government oversight for corporations.

DHS cut this quote off one sentence early. Hereโs how Roosevelt actually finished the thought, same speech, 1915:
โBut if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.โ
He also said he wasnโt talking about naturalized citizens (โsome of the very best Americans I have ever knownโ) and that โany discrimination against aliens is a wrong.โ
Teddy Rooseveltโs descendants asked Congress to protect his legacy. Trumpโs admin answered by perverting TRโs words to push their anti-immigrant agenda.

@KC_32 @TheCartelDel You cannot move the cyberpunk game to a new ps5 without downloading it fresh, meaning if playstation revokes your access or the servers are down or wifi is gone good luck. You don't own that game, you are just granted permission to use it under their conditions.
English
@TheCartelDel Huh? I can login on another PS5 and download Cyberpunk? There's no difference in that regard with Steam
English
I own Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam. I can delete Steam at any time, copy the entire Cyberpunk game folder to another PC or drive, launch the executable directly, and it will play. I truly own it. PlayStation digital games cannot make the same promise.

@transfix @LasgunSunflower If you mean theirs, only so long as there are people with the desire to keep it existing and maintained. But if nobody has the desire to uphold that country then it would inevitably cease to exist in that capacity. Pretty extreme hypothetical though.

@errantial @LasgunSunflower So if we imported everyone from a country, the government land and infrastructure would still exist?
