The idea that somehow this game is bad because Spidey is helping the police seems like a personal beef being translated to the game, because this IS what he does in the comics at various points in their history (along with not getting appreciated for it). It is sort of like complaining that Batman is cooperating with…

Um... that is not what he asked. He did not say “why is she talking about it?”. You would be right in that case. But what he asked is “why is she still having trouble promoting the film when they pulled his stuff right away and the film has nothing to do with him?”

Why still give this guy a platform where we can still see his shit. If you want him to go away, stop bringing him up.

This is nothing new. Back in the day there were all sorts of magazine articles proposing the theory that Vader lied to Luke just to confuse him and get him to turn and join him. This is just fandom history repeating itself.

This is the equivalent of demanding I pay $5 in penalty for something.

It has not been “co-opted”. Some few might use it, and a few conspiracy nuts might push the narrative. But 99.999999999% of the population does not use it that way, so how is it co-opted? And you can’t cite other people’s opinion as “proof”. If that is the case, I can say that all those idiots touting “chem-trails”…

Seriously? If so, she is not even doing it right, with the pinky in like that. People love to see what they want to see. Yeah, the Mexican Jew with parents in the Holocaust is throwing you the “white power sign” on the down low.

I agree with you, except I don’t think this is a conservative thing. If Trump, or Bannon came out endorsing some product, liberals and progressives would be burning that or dumping it in landfills too. That is just the nature of our climate these days.

Imagine!? I thought we were living that life right now!

I agree that these people are being stupid. But on the other hand Nike in no way had some board meeting where some guy said “hey, lets support Kap and what he believes in and take a stand against police brutality, profits be damned!”

I think that is a little too simplified. From most indications, she does not write plays, which are a different animal than books. She outlined the full plot and story, some someone else turned it into a script. That is not a lot different than someone turning her books in to a film.

Eh... to each there own, but I think the biggest mistake was releasing the script in book form. It does not appear to translate well, as a lot of readers dislike it, and the vast majority of opinion on seeing the play is hugely positive.

No, not really. Not this time.

I agree that they can be quick to fire. But in this case, it was not something that LOOKED like a gun. It WAS a gun. They did not have time to verify it was not a bb gun.

It’s pathetic that in our greedy capitalist society we have NOTHING in place to help victims of trauma,

My guess is our guy doesn’t get off on getting laid, but more so gets off on his ability to secure the date and then ditch them, feeling like a powerful puppet master.

Wait, maybe she REALLY meant “flux capacitator”. I mean, if you your capacitator is in flux, then you would be incapacitated, correct. Sounds like a reasonable plane crash cause to me.

Hey! Maybe Matthew McConaughey should play Kamehameha! Seems like perfect casting!

Exactly, both of those came to mind when I read

Wow. That pretty much directly points posts like this one. Interesting watch.
