I'm irrevocably angry and trying to find a distraction. Reading and Fire Emblem weren't working.

Hopefully that helped some. I hope everything goes okay for you!

I'm doing fine. Just preparing for bed. Taking one last checkup on the site and ignoring shish's bad opinions on the good cap.

Splendid, I am currently playing in my Minecraft Hardcore World.

SEGA FES 2019 sucks.

I know these are late but the truth never comes out quickly




First Avenger is a boring slog of military propaganda, in-universe and outside of it with a bad ending.
Civil War is just characters being dumb for the sake of having them fight each other and a villain with an unnecessarily convoluted plot, it could have been good without the whole "Bucky killed my parents" thing

It's been a while since I've seen some genuinely awful hot takes.

The First Avenger is a fantastic film and firmly establishes Steve's character, cementing him as the heart of the MCU. To write it off as nothing more than military propaganda just seems so incredibly cynical and, frankly, ignorant, if not edgy for the sake of it. Captain America was literally created by two Jewish men who were fed up with Hitler and the Nazis and created a character who symbolized American ideals. The cover of the first issue had him decking Hitler in the face which, at the time, was an incredibly controversial political statement, as the US hadn't yet gotten involved in World War II. By definition, yeah, it's technically propaganda. But are you really going to discard something because it's anti-Nazi propaganda? If so, yikes.

It's a story of a man who wants to help, who wants to do what he can to fight back against some of the most vile creatures ever to stain the pages of history, because to him, it's the right thing to do. And he's chosen for the Super Soldier program not because of his brawn, but because of his heart. When he jumps onto the dud grenade at the camp thinking it was live, when everyone else tried to run from it, it established Steve as a hero. And the film doesn't shy away from recognizing wartime propaganda either, with the war bonds and such, so I really don't see what your problem is.

Nor do I think the ending is bad. It's anything but. Steve saves countless lives at what he believes is the cost of his own, only to be in stasis for seventy years and end up revived in the 2010s. He becomes disconnected with the entire world in a way no one can imagine. It's a tragically bittersweet ending. He saved countless lives, his own life was saved, but he became a man out of time.

To write off Civil War because you didn't like Zemo/the Bucky twist is one thing. I think it's a dumb take and I definitely don't agree with it, but I can live with it. But what I can't take is an opinion born from ignorance. To pejoratively write off the literal origin story of Captain America as military propaganda just shows me you couldn't look past your innately biased view of "anything being remotely positive about the US military is the bad." It shows me that you ignored the out-of-universe context which facilitated the character's creation, ignored the struggles of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, who brought him to life. The movie is literally historical fiction. It's basically a period piece. I'm sorry if World War II existing is too far into the realm of "military propaganda," but it's literally integral to the character. For someone to get their knickers in a twist over a character who is literally a soldier having to fight in a war, I think they're just looking too hard for something to complain about.

So yeah that's my rant lol.

I'm feeling Bittersweet right now, I don't know why though. I guess it's just stuff in my life and around here making me slightly depressed but also this site making me very happy every time I log in.

My feelings are a mess honestly, But when isn't it?

ah, so this is the power of an uninvited roommate

you ok bud?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I pre-emptively started Insurgence just to see if it'll work (Don't worry, no Pokémon were caught).

Some lady just killed two dudes. One was sacrificed to summon Darkrai, and the other one was ****in' burnt to death by a Houndoom's Fire Blast.

I'm pumped to reach this game.

 

[PsySmasher]

Doing OK.

I'm playing some double matches on a Twitch stream right now, since I don't get much doubles experience period.

 

[staindgrey]

Oh yeah I'm totally fine. Just playing the feeling up to trivialize it and destress so I can fall asleep.

There are a lot of things going on right now and all of them are bad. But soon enough they'll all go away and things will be good again. I've got perspective.

Captain America is like Superman. He's an ideal.

He's meant to be a goal to strive for and beacon of hope.

In particular, Cap is what America should be and he takes all of it's best parts while removing its worst.

The comics and MCU both make that clear. He was never some yes man to the government. He's simply trying to do what's right.

If you hate Cap or try to misconstrue him as jingoism, that says more about you then him.

That game sounds super edgy, and not in the good way.

While I don't consider MCU movies high art, I thoroughly enjoy them and will probably continue to watch them.

Wish Daredevil didn't die though.

Is there a... good way to call something to edgy

Hang in there man. It's nice to see that you are confident things will get better for you.

 

[Deleted member]

Metal Gear Rising is the good kind of edgy, for example

 

[staindgrey]

Wish Daredevil didn't die though.

Interestingly enough, the 8-issue miniseries where Daredevil did die ia actually worth reading if you were a fan of Bendis and Brubaker's runs. It was called "End of Days".
