thanos the redditor rationalist economics major. no wonder he identified with stark out of everyone
I didn’t recognize the captain marvel logo I thought fury was paging a captain canada or something
how come all the memes for this movie had people disintegrating into triangles but in the actual movie they turned into dirt
I think thor ragnarok is the only one of these things that’s closest to a good regular movie. steve rogers makes me want to be a better person every time he’s on screen though
Calling Alpha Flight would be such a cooler ending.
yeah nobody can give me a straight answer on this
My bet is that photoshopping triangles = easy, while Hollywood CG ash is hard and not even Marvel memes deserve that kind of effort.
Upon seeing this movie I commented that Thanos was the first comic book centrist
can’t believe both groot and bucky died saying the same thing
but it’s not like a couple people went with little pixels or back to the future fading away or something, the entire collective unconsciousness settled on deus ex reboot looking triangles of all things. it must mean something. some secret unconscious knowledge linking ultimate annihilation to this shape maybe
It read as very specific to me too, I’m shocked to learn it was not the movie visualization
Same
there is an app called picsart which has a feature where you can make that triangle effect just by sliding your finger over it. it was just the quickest handiest thing that meme people on their phones had
ah.
surprised they didn’t get dog noses at the same time
okay so not secret unconscious knowledge
figures a cheap app effect would look cooler than million dollar cgi dirt though
What’s this thing where all the lawful good superheroes who are all shiny I thought were lame as shit until I turned like 30, and now I think they’re the only worthwhile ones. Is it just age? Is it the era we’re living in? I dunno.
Maybe it’s seeing it in the right story. I’ve always teared up at stories about improbable human love to strangers and Superman-esque stories about love, unconditional, with no face to attach get me hard. Nausicaa works this way, Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman, Scorsese’s religious films, Tree of Life at its most abstract – presented with something so beautiful and fragile I don’t usually believe it exists, I break down.
Sitting here mulling it I think it grows out of experience with misery. I know it’s not just age cause there are lots of poor kids who grow up loving Superman, which didn’t make any sense to me in my pampered youth. But once you see how much pain there is out there, you start to love the old fashioned heroic heroes.
Honestly it’s the same trajectory that makes socialism seem “juvenile” until you meet enough regular ass people who are just run ragged to death by this shitheap of a country.
(Cyclops still sucks though)
I mean, that is because, canonically, that dude is nowhere near the lawful good side. I mean, the whole shit with the woman he marries just because she looks like Jean Grey, then ditches when Jean comes back to life? With a kid?!?
Also, it is probably because Cyclops kinda seems to represent the rich spoiled ass kid who thinks he is lawful good just because he is a rich spoiled ass kid, but I dunno, that could just be my reading on him.
That almost impossible hope that something this good can exist in this world. That it’s possible to love that freely.
The believing, through drama, while also knowing this is fantasy. It’s beautiful because it’s not real. It’s beautiful because we can dream it.
And that dreaming it makes it real in certain ways is explored in All-Star Superman, as the thought/fictional presence of Superman is enough to create Superman, the comic (it’s a Grant Morrison comic of course).
I just got back from a malkmus show and I’ve believed in socialism since I was 14 I don’t understand what you guys are talking about or why it’s ever good to be genuine and earnest
It isn’t, that’s why I need cartoon characters to do it for me
idk, the real question here is:
@felix, what did your jenson choose in DX:HR: the good, the bad or the ugly ending?
is anyone watching cloak and dagger
That’s why I picked the fourth ending…
