Spoiler: Politics

Shroob, my point applies to comic books and games. It applies to everything.

The fascists will participate in media that you love.

Edit: Accidently pressed enter too early.

Shiny, I'm gonna level with you, here.

From what I've seen, you've been bringing politics into way too many innocent and mundane subjects lately.

Respecting someone's opinion on whether or not they like/dislike a video game is not the same thing as respecting someone's views of racism and oppression. You're overthinking this. Seriously.

 

[PLATINUM7]

To de-escalate a bit from this insanity.


@Bakugan2556, check this Twitter account out, you'll get a kick out of it.

I've seen dramatic Yugioh pulls but this is ridiculous.

What? What happened to us talking about racism and how it was bad? I thought Shroob was referring to debating with right-wingers.

We went from MvC3 to X-Men to politics to... Pizza.

Never change Smashboards.

I'm just asking for feedback. For all of my takes, what have I done wrong? I would like to hear all of your opinions.

It'd do you well to actually read what you respond to and take a moment of pause before hitting "post reply"

You're far, far, far too eager to get involved and it results in you frequently putting your foot in your mouth.

YO YO YO listen up to my new rap! I just got a freddy hat!

Hey guys wh-

Sees politics talk

Well, I'm going to bed anyways soon, talk to y'all tomorrow. Night!

Been catching up on the MCU.

My consensus: I'm more of a DC Comics person, but I admit the MCU special effects are pretty neat.

Again, context is key. You read my post and applied something entirely differently instead of realizing that I was talking directly to Snake and her own mannerisms.

Snake has a habit of liking specific things and not liking other things, and she tends to get frustrated because she doesn't understand why people like things she doesn't. I'm pretty sure you can understand what I'm saying here and how literally nothing about this deals with politics.

Yes, we were talking about X-men and the politics behind it, but that post was directed directly at Snake, which shifted subject matter entirely.

I really like to debate, though.

I rarely, if ever start up politics. I try to post my takes on the current situation.

Its difficult to resist a good debate.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Hard disagree. I want more characters who headline their own stories and who were created to stand on their own then dozens of characters who were all created to be a part of a team and don't bring in their own lore or concepts.

And how are their powers connected to their stories exactly? Like... Iceman didn't get locked in a freezer when his X-Gene activated so he has ice powers now. He just went through puberty after randomly getting the gene from his parents and randomly got ice powers. He could have had any powers and you could tell the exact same story. Just as an example off the top of my head.

Maybe we would overcome it if we started framing it as something that could be defeated and ended.

At the very least, we need to start actually trying.

I see your comment. I kind of agree with you to a degree. But I also think it's more important to inspire people and influence their actions.

Sure. There should be a hardship. But they still need to actually win. If they didn't actually win then what did you gain from the story? A reminder that you can never accomplish anything and that life will always beat you down so just accept it. Even the powerful super soldier has depression. If he can't beat it why would you be able to?

All those doses of realism you keep telling me I need are what have made me suicidal in the past. They have never done anything for me other then make me just want to give up on life. Excuse the language, but how the **** is that of benefit to me? Seeing heroes overcome the problems I face and beat them back inspires me to keep going and to keep trying. Which is much more beneficial then making me feel "why bother? I can't do anything".

Mutant (Marvel Comics) - Wikipedia

Mutants

Mutants are superhuman beings that are born with a genetic mutation called an X-Gene that causes their bodies to develop abilities that regular humans, homo sapiens, are unable to. The majority of mutants develop these abilities, which vary from person to person, usually upon puberty, though...

x-men.fandom.com

Bobby became Ice-Man only cause he wanted to save his date from being harmed...only to accidentally freeze the ****** up

also if you want characters headlong their own stories...read the comics or wait for an MCU/any watchable media adaptation for them (but mainly the MCU)

Ok. He became Iceman for a reason. But he didn't become Iceman for a reason. He could have gotten any powers and the story would be the same.

And I don't want more characters to be headliners. I was briefly reverting to the context of MvC and referring to how I want more of the roster to be made up of characters who already do.

 

[KillerCage]

Never really a fan of the "life sucks" philosophy tbh.

Yeah, that's about it.

I believe in the philosophy that "life hates order."
"Life wants chaos."
"Chaos is neither good nor evil"
"The servers are the seven chaos."
"Chaos is power... power is enriched by the heart."
"The controller is the one that unifies the chaos."

Oooh, I get it. My apologies on that front.

And the whole "Think before you speak" thing has been drilled through my head for years. I get it. I just do that. I have caused significantly less drama now than in my past account. But I'm not perfect.

Please don't expect me to never slip on ice.

Sometimes I stumble upon old songs I used to listen to when I was like, 4. And it takes me back to that headspace, and I remember how new and amazing and pure everything felt. And I realize that those moments are never returning. And it wouldn’t even be too bad, if it wasn’t for the fact that my present is so disappointing. If my past self could get a glimpse of my present self, and I don’t think he’d like what he saw. I don’t enjoy that feeling.

And then I realize that I’m-
Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you.

well when a cool and chill man like Bobby Drake is being chill for most of the time...kinda works itself out. A lot of the powers connects to their personalities

Basically everything up to and including Captain America Winter Soldier (except Incredible Hulk).

"... cause Satan's my name."
"You know the rules, and so you have to die."
