    Of course - why didn't I think of that? If I want to get my political message across all I have to do is create a movie that sweeps every category at the Oscars. I bet Michael Bay wishes he'd thought of it.

    Honestly, not even that. Trump support base would in large part take the view that it was petty. They'd view it as a bunch of people refusing to give each other awards in protest at the result of a democatic election. They'd also decry all the jobs that were lost on by people who work for or organise it all. It would

    I really don't think Trump would claim it as a victory. He would in all probability say not much about it until questioned by journalists at which point he would say it was a shame, silly of them and that he felt sad for the people who now lose out on their chance to win an Oscar for all their hard work.

    I did not, but it had to be better than Ashley Judd's where she lumped in Hillary Clinton with Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafza or declared that Trump was Hitler (because yes, the deaths of millions and the genocide of European Jews is something you can equate with Trump).

    You're not forced to watch it. Nobody is. The film industry has an awards ceremony for itself. Then a bunch of people crash the party and take pictures for the rest of us to look at. Bit harsh to say "I don't want to look at them, you can't have a party."

    It doesn't even have to be some stereotyped "old man", either. I have seen Germaine Greer be attacked over the fact that she doesn't consider a transgender man to actually be a woman. Germaine Fucking Greer! Villified by people who seemingly have no idea who she is or what she has done in her life. One of the great

    Aaaaand a creepy comment to round it out. I fear for your own female colleagues!

    >>but promoting white supremacy is not just "talking about it.
    Yes it is.

    Hitler may or may not have turned out differently if he had a better, kinder life (though logic and reason say he probably would), but he didn't come to power because he's some magical mind-controlling wizard. He came to power because the Weimar republic was in a very terrible state and labouring under punitive

    I don't know if I'm a "conservative" or not - I'm not even American. But I do get very worried when people are openly advocating violence against real individuals because of their views. Indiana Jones punching a Nazi soldier in the face is a comedy moment in a movie where a war is taking place. A real person getting

    And what if he shows up? Will they punch him?

    I'm afraid I will always favour Tammy Wynette solely on the basis of her willingness to provide vocals for a KLF song. Tammy singing about Illuminati and Atlantian Conspiracies to an early Nineties rave track remains one of the musical highlights of my youth.

    Unfortunately both are attempts to preserve enjoyment for those who haven't read the series are now being undone by Galaxion's response to which liberally spreads the big reveal all over the place. :(

    It doesn't at all support the headline intimating the Marvel has a Nazi agenda. If the comic were holding up Nazism as a good thing, it would be. The comic does not do that and it's a fucking repugnant thing to accuse the writers of as well. How the Hell did you come away from reading this series thinking it was

    ROCKY!!!!

    But they also make you click the article, right?

    Yep. That's the thing that really elevates this storyline. In a very real sense that is actually Steve Rogers. He still believes that he is doing the right thing. It is very scary when you put it like that, which could well be the intent.

    If you demonize people, you'll forever miss them with your counter-arguments and own attacks, chasing the phantoms rather than the real threat standing next to it. You would think after Donald Trump got elected, the Left would at least be somewhat more open to seeing the flaws in this approach, but all I see is people

    Yes. But his role-plays involve driving a car and having a conversation with his passenger. I can't tell you how disappointing that would be if you were expecting something kinky in the bed room.

    I don't agree that making someone the explicit villain in a comic book - a Hydra agent working against democracy and who has killed one of their own friends to further their agenda can be described as giving fascists an equal platform.
