Fellas, is it gay to value your loved ones and oppose violence?
Hella gay. Let’s go do crimes about it.

I think it's very interesting that CA: Winter Soldier was about the secret Nazis that have taken over the military and plan to kill everyone with their drones and facial recognition while CA: Brave New World (Order) is about how slavery is okay when the President General does it and loves his daughter or something

What? Ross ended up in jail, and was never portrayed as the good guy...

Have you seen The Boys? There's an actual fan club of Homelander. The series creators are trying to cut it down because it's the exact opposite of the message they try to bring. Vilans are people's new heroes now. Like Trump and Musk for example.

They can't, like, read for the editorial content of what the author's saying. It starts and ends with imagining literal facts.
I blame the total lack of humanuties education.

Im so glad Im not American. It must be fucking exhausting keeping this dumb as fuck culture war going.
Feels like they're arguing with themselves and begging for attention most of the time. It wouldn't be a problem if corpo bitches didn't listen to them.

The only problem I have with this is that it's fiction.
If even Superman is being targeted, I don't even want to know what Captain America is up to these days. Is he already the poster boy for ICE?
I'm asking because this isn't fiction.
I'm kinda in the same boat. I don't give a fuck about Superman or Bond or any other lone hero fighting against imaginary villains when real villains are running amok.
Even James Gunn seems to be aware of this FWIW

No, you don’t understand my point, because you think I’m talking about Superman’s “politics.” I’m talking about James Gunn’s politics and him using Superman as a mouthpiece for them. Superman doesn’t have politics in the sense I’m talking about. He’s just on the side of freedom, peace, and good. Classic moral tropes that virtually everyone supports, because without context, they’re just ideals. When you contextualize them with modern, real-world events though, they become political messaging, and that’s what I don’t like in a superhero movie.

I mean, dirty cops love the Punisher, even though he's canonically killed quite a few of them.
wrote last edited by [email protected]and they dont realized boyz IS ALSO MAKING fun of them and trump at the same time, they like the authotarian nature of shows and media, plus straight white male, but dont realize its conservatives that these shows are parodying.
-
Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.
Surprise surprise, it didn't take.
conservatives like the co-opt one part of something they like discard another, much like with WOKE, punisher, and even christian-themed shows like supernatural.

homelander was based on trump,, and they were obviously parodying Conservatives in the show.

I liked the movie, but could have done without the messaging. I dislike political messaging in media even when I agree with the message, because I’m going to said media to escape reality. I don’t need a reminder about it, and I particularly don’t need some allegorical moral instruction, like I’m some sort of child.
I think there’s a place for political messaging in film—like when it’s the explicit purpose of said film—but I don’t like it being wedged in just anywhere.
conservatives like you are, what they are making fun of, because of ridiculous they take things.

its the billionaires(class war) + a little troll farm is keeping us distracted from the class war. with the help right wing talking heads and fox.

No, actually, I think you just proved you’re the dense one.

I’m a liberal and a progressive, so that shows how poor a room-read you have. Come back when you have better grasp of things.

Nah, I don’t pander to pissants.

The funniest thing is that the superhero they have a problem with is Superman.
If it were Batman, that would be different. Batman isn't a pure-hearted hero, he's a more complex character. If it had been someone in the X-Men, or pretty much any Avenger other than Captain America, there would be room for a discussion.
But, Superman is such a good, kind-hearted hero that it's basically impossible to be a good person and be anti-Superman.
The biggest super hero fan I know said that he doesn't like Superman. Confused by this I asked him why, and he had a pretty good point.
His reason was that, Superman generally isn't physically challenged. In most cases the only issue he faces is trying to figure out what is going on. After that, Superman wins every time. The only exception is with kryptonite. His literal only weakness.
So all plot lines boil down to a mystery, followed by some flashy scenes of Superman going Superman stuff, the end; with the only real exception being "bad guys have kryptonite".
It's boring.And you know what? He makes a good point.
None of this goes against anything you say, it's just one person's opinion (not even mine). The only reason I'm posting this is to say, it's possible to dislike Superman content, but that doesn't and shouldn't imply someone is anti-Superman.
Food for thought.

At the same time, I like that the antagonists of the boys are people with nuance.
The best shows and stories are ones where both sides believe they are doing what is best for everyone, but disagree on what's best for everyone... Like Thanos. His idea was good in concept, his execution? Not great.
