Specifically what does my Netflix subscription have to do with Disney's horrible business practices and their broader long-term trend of dumbing down genre fiction to the point where it's stripped of its cultural relevance and roots in primal mythology?

Joker is trolling the world.

Spoiler alert: the extra footage is just a scene in which an army of generic CGI Disney 'imagineers' use mind-control powers to force the Avengers to make Pinnocchio jokes, all while RDJ does laps in his Scrooge McDuck vault.

Joss Whedon's already been doing a pretty good job of that this past week. It's nice to see him liberated. (Or as the AV Club covered the story, "Joss Whedon offers mild, thinly-veiled critiques of Disney, proving that Joss Whedon sucks and just doesn't understand superheros as well as Mickey Mouse does.")

Hooray for Disneyfication! If the Mouse House can do for superheros and science-fiction what they've already done for fairy tales and Broadway, then I look forward to my lobotomy.

Obvious troll is obvious.

What if Radiohead was produced by Max Martin?

I haven't seen a comic book movie since the release of Dick Tracy so I totally agree with you.

I'm sorry, but if you can't respond using bright primary colors, then I won't be able to understand you.

HOLY F***

Yes. I was using exaggeration for effect.

Right, I get that.

Tell me about it. Also, why can't WB make fun of their own comic book properties? Ugh, they're completely humorless.

These are the arguments you made that I was poking fun of:

Did anyone else see Jon Stewart and Neil deGrasse Tyson debate Superman on the Daily Show last night?

Gee, I had no idea. Thank you for explaining that to me.

My parents let me watch Disney movies, because they are age-appropriate and use a lot of the bright, bold primary colors that I rely on to keep me from feeling even the slightest bit uncomfortable or provoked.

Ah, yes. "Bring back the George Reeves' Superman," said no comic book fan ever.

Yeah. That's my big complaint with Casablanca as well. The colorized version is much less stark, bleak, and unappealing.

Nice. I know when I'm at the multiplex trying to decide which action blockbuster I'm going to see, my first question is always, "Which of these films uses bright, bold primary colors?"
