It suddenly hit me seeing the freeze frame that Nicolas Holt’s Hank McCoy is just a blue Abraham Lincoln:

I would love that.

All I want is 2 minutes of Spider-Man interacting with Matt Murdock and/or Daredevil.

It was a big rock.

How long before the gods bless us with a Birds of Prey episode of Supergirl, which then becomes its own show?

It’s the EVIL MIDNIGHT BOMBER WHAT BOMBS AT MIDNIGHT.

Doesn’t make it a good idea. Comparing it to Trump is like saying accusing your rivals of treason is great because it worked so well for Stalin (and also Trump).

Is there anything positive that actually comes from constantly insulting each other that couldn’t be obtained for some non-hurtful dialogue?

So much of everything is timing. You can have the best idea but if you don’t get it to market at exactly the right time, there’s nothing. Someone had the idea of a shared Marvel programming universe long ago. We know that because Thor and Daredevil appeared on the old Incredible Hulk TV show. The timing wasn’t right.

I’ve seen it happen. I’ve lived long enough to see guys whose growth as people was stunted (personally and professionally) because they couldn’t break out of behaviors like that. I don’t know how old you are. Maybe you’re older and despite this nonsense you’ve turned out ok (well done) but if not trust me, the

There is. But I think its a lot blurrier than we normally presume, especially when it comes to young men. Part of the whole nonsense that comes with young folk trying to act like a man is concealing when something really does hurt your feelings or sense of self. The result is that long term effects can hide under the

Exactly. Sometimes the threat really is harmless but it can also order a group like a band of vagabonds.

Because I’m an adult who doesn’t feel the need to hide his vulnerabilities or his emotions behind empty posturing.

Maybe not but then exactly how many people on this planet are really comfortable with themselves? Young men are especially good at hiding their insecurities, in fact concealing them behind posturing machismo is what these kinds of insults are about.

Of course there’s a distinction but its not the one you’re attempting to convey.

Simply because the former isn’t a hate crime does not mean it can’t be hurtful. In isolation it may seem innocuous but its still a way of undermining a sense of masculinity. Especially if calling your peers gay slurs happens consistently.

An interesting note on the Hangover joke. In that scene we’re getting a glimpse of Stu’s terrible relationship with his girlfriend.

It’s noteworthy that his friends constantly break Stu down over this relationship but he never does anything about it because of those barbs. The context of the film lets us know that

Just saying “That’s how guys talk” does not mean that it isn’t hurtful, cruel and shitty. It also does not make it an absolute truth in all times and in all spaces.

The insult as batter is really crappy way for friends to interact. It almost always creates a toxic dynamic in which members of the group get hurt but

Rob taking over....

Front row!

I want to note that I dislike the Murderverse movies not only some deep loyalty to Marvel but out of my intense love of the DC characters. Batman is my favorite super hero ever and it kills me to see Snyder make these movies.
