The second GotG movie, though, has a much different style than any of the other Marvel movies to date.

Luckily, the plot of Spider-Man isn't at all the same as the plot of, say, Civil War!

Or, you know, Rian Johnson (minus the PG-13 rating).

I think he calls it pulp, which is a genuine distinction.

Eh, I think he has a lot of middle-ground books that are very smart without getting lost in their own self-satisfaction.

Luckily, that's in no way the South Park ethos!

Oh, it had a lot to do with Al Gore acting like a self-aggrandizing douche in the film An Inconvenient Truth, and in the run-up to its release, haha!

…and yet the episodes that everyone points to as evidence that "caring is stupid" always tend to boil down to "caring doesn't justify being shitty to other people, no matter how right you think you are."

Exactly.

Stan and Kyle are often shown to be hypocrites too, though, especially over the last few years.

I think the serialization (starting with You're Getting Old) really helped them get excited about the show again, even as their foolish faith in the better judgment of the American people blew up in their face last year.

FUCK! Just heard about this now.

It was pretty clearly a conscious attempt by Jerrod to draw a line to the Cosby show.

Clearly, he's as racist as that Dave Chapelle fellow!

Huh?

The issue, of course, is that there is no point at which I argued that people fighting for equal rights through redress of the government were as bad as oppressors.

I never said that smokers should be allowed to smoke in bars and restaurants.

What strawman?

Who said anything about your right to smoke wherever and whenever you like?

But I would argue that the entire "PC Principal" and "Lorde" seasons were, fundamentally, criticizing the tribal mentality that makes people believe they have the license to be shitty to people who are different from them.
