@Fenrirtheicewo1 Important to point out that only a liberty minded society can achieve such progress. Compare the west, America especially to most of the world. The Klingons in Star Trek have the same problem.

Viltrumites as a society as advanced as they are makes no sense, it would if they were more medieval like and only have advantages because of their powers. Kryptonians are so advanced because they aren't born with theirs on their planet so they had to adapt and value other things than strength.

This scene had me fucking tense, Nolan was really about to crush that little girl's head over getting a pop quiz question wrong.

@Scidian @jack_stargate @StyxSetzke You totally miss my point.... Bats is praising Hitler like he was some strong man yet the Soviets rolled over his troops and instead of facing his enemy he feared Hitler killed himself like a fucking bitch

Yes but the hypocrisy is that people bitch about Lenin, Stalin, Mao etc were brutal dictators and killed their citizens sending them to the gulag & tortured people and the united states fought this people because they were brutal dictators.... but they fucking installed a brutal dictator who did all of these things and the same people praise him as a hero......

@Scidian Maybe we should talk about this on a space because everything your saying sounds vague

@lucas_legacy Espec. with regard to the relationship trope, repeated exposure to trivialised instances of passiveness, lewdness, limp-wristedness, exhibited by characters that are made to be appealing will result in the viewers internalising these traits as cute quirks that need not be purged.

@Scidian How does this trope make kids in real life passive?

@lucas_legacy Amongst other things, yes. One of my critique of Anime is that much of premise is far too divorced from reality to derive any actionable principles. Added to that, is the glorification of such passive behaviors

@lucas_legacy It shouldn't be; too many children are taught to be wimps. Great art should motivate one to be an action man. Anime traps the mind with escapism and trains it passivity.

@Scidian I find the trope shonen manga/anime funny, I never saw it as something to get too invested in or make a big deal of. It can just be played for laughs.

@lucas_legacy I hate both. It's okay if you want to start with a premise and build up to a more functional status quo, but to have it persist is what I find indefensible. To w/media's credit, they tend to do the former. They also no reservations about having their characters kiss. See Avatar

@Scidian I always just saw this classic anime trope as a cultural thing. In a lot of western media the boy usually has a one sided crush on the girl so in Eastern Media like Shonen the girl usually has a one sided crush on the boy. I don’t know why anyone would be bothered by this.
