Except this is wildly oversimplifying Tolkien and his worldview. That’s not to defend the man, he did admit voting for the Tories and was a supporter of the constitutional monarchy, but not in any way more than others of his era and in general in his interviews he doesn’t seem wistful to the good old days. Actually…

Tolkien was a very conservative person and his works reflect that. The fact that it was the 1960s counterculture that brought his work to fame is kind of based on a misunderstanding of his motives. They saw his embrace of the rural and in his distrust of technology as being part of the then new environmental movement,…

Absolutely. It's scary how many people want authoritarianism, so long as they get to pick the guy in charge 

Fun fact: the Nazi regime were huge fans of Hollywood films of the era because they thought those films were better fascism propaganda than anything produced by German filmmakers.

As a LOTR nerd, Frodo most definitely did not come from a “humble background”. He was the heir to the mansion of Bag End, meaning he was the richest guy in Hobbiton and maybe even the entire Shire. He wasn’t a king, sure, but that’s just because that’s not how hobbits rule themselves. His friends Merry and Pippin were…

Black Panther is all sorts of weird when looked at through a certain lens. Killmonger overthrew an isolationist heriditary monarchy. He actually did it legitimately under Wakandan succession law. But the old regime didn’t like him changing things up and modernising so they executed a counter coup with the help of the…

If you bring the Sam Raimi Spiderman movies into it then it fits better into the timeline. But seriously, Moore’s hardly the first person to (rightly or wrongly) make the connection between superheroes and Fascism.

I mean... dude’s absolutely right.

“He wouldn’t be the first to notice the number of backsliding democracies and the rise of authoritarian governments around the world starting in the mid-2010s.”

I’d be as disillusioned as Moore if I thought I’d written sufficiently pathetic, disgusting repudiations of the fascist superhero mindset and people decided to unironically declare “Veidt was right!” and “Rorschach is the hero we need!” Then you have all those Thin Blue Line chucklefucks who emblazon Punisher skulls…

Not mention at least a few super straight holiday movies every year. And they have no problem with comedy specials from transphobes and racist ventriloquists 

Also, she likes Bruce Campbell way more.

Even at the time, I didn’t know Xena was a spinoff for a while. Xena was on all the time, you could hardly get away from it. Hercules I think I stumbled across once.

Dude/tte, Netflix released the 365 Days films. Like the argument that Netflix releases films that only match some Far Left agenda is preposterous as they put out films they think will maintain their membership.

Don’t forget that the left wingers in America are also somehow both Commies and Nazis, utterly destroying that old legendary Simpsons skit.

Netflix released a movie *this year* about a liberal woman who marries a conservative soldier man for the health insurance and then learns that being his loving wife is her destiny after all. It’s called Purple Hearts.

Netflix isn’t the far-left commune Kevin Sorbo believes it to be.

I have to think nothing makes him more upset then

There are a lot of bad things on Twitter, and then there is Lucy Lawless herself never missing an opportunity to dunk on her old co-star for the newest dumb thing he said. She’s a national treasure and she’s not even ours! 

They can issue ones before hand. Ford pardoned Nixon before hand, Trump I believe pardoned a few people before conviction but after being charged.

I want to believe that that current federal investigators are incredibly aware that any charges brought against Gaetz (Trump, and that ilk) need to be absolutely air tight to shut down their supporters.
