Same reason you can say Alien is a Male Rape movie.

The basis is on the male fear of loss of dominance.

You aren't outright wrong, but the main character of Alien being a woman is part of the point of that particular film. But yeah the one guy gets raped by a facehugger and gives birth to the Alien.

Revenant is a good movie, bears and people are scary fuckers. Gross people liking to make rape jokes at any available chance is not news.

Finished watching Preacher and the last season is full of reversals and do-overs, non-linear story-telling that doesn't work, half-thought out plots, unnecessary scenes, token inclusions of characters or ideas from the comic. And it ends 4 times. Which makes me wonder how a show ends up like this. A single round of editing would cut the flab and shift scenes into a more workable order. The actors must have realised their characters were unlikeable and their actions often illogical. Anyone reading the script would have flagged it for making little sense. Executive interference? No one thought it mattered?

Ruth Negga was really incredible in Hamlet, I didn't bother with the finale of Preacher tragically after that show ran out of steam. Comics were really loving incredible, through. RIP Steve Ditko.

Ruth Negga was great, and bought a lot to a character that was thinly drawn in the comics.

But I'd seriously recommend people only watch the first two series of Preacher. It seriously starts spinning its wheels after that.

liberals have been pushing this dipshit line for years, even on this very forum, and it’s so loving embarassing. chuds don’t loving read comics and they don’t give a gently caress what Disney/Marvel does with the character. if anything, “cancelling” punisher would only make him more popular.

if you actually read punisher, it’s pretty blatantly obvious dude loving hates cops lol.

They don't like the Punisher because they know anything about the actual character, they like him for the image in their head of someone who uses violence to solve problems and gets away with it.

The only thing that might work is changing what the punisher symbol means, which means changing the punisher fundamentally, which Marvel isn't going to do. And even if they started doing it now it's way too late anyway. It's pointless

I'm not a huge fan of legacy characters, but at this point making the Punisher a Black vet who goes to war with the cops after they murder his family is more contemporary of a story than Frank Castle's war against the mob.

Let Garth Ennis do the reboot and he can riff off the stories of Micah Xavier Johnson and Dorner.

Marvel doesn't really do legacy characters the same way DC does, and they already set up an obvious "modern" successor in Rachel Cole-Alves but never pulled the trigger

and I cannot see Marvel ever doing that concept, they're a Disney subsidiary that does propaganda comics for Northrop Grumman with a long history of succ and copaganda

oooo they got the rare Garth Ennis weighing in on things since he’s wisely kept off social media:

quote:

"I’ve said this before a couple of times, but no one actually wants to be the Punisher," Ennis exclusively told SYFY WIRE. "Nobody wants to pull three tours of duty in a combat zone with the last one going catastrophically wrong, come home with a head full of broken glass, see their families machine-gunned into bloody offal in front of their eyes and then dedicate the rest of their lives to cold, bleak, heartless slaughter."

"The people wearing the logo in this context are kidding themselves, just like the police officers who wore it over the summer," he added. "What they actually want is to wear an apparently scary symbol on a T-shirt, throw their weight around a bit, then go home to the wife and kids and resume everyday life. They've thought no harder about the Punisher symbol than the halfwits I saw [on Wednesday], the ones waving the Stars & Stripes while invading the Capitol building."

With regards to the skull symbol, he dismissed suggestions that it had any impact on inspiring the actions of those who adopt it. "No one’s going to suggest that the American flag is now a fascist symbol and should be treated as such, just because a bunch of would-be fascists employed it yesterday," Ennis said. "I doubt there’s anyone who would suggest that any of the clowns who wore the Punisher skull [Wednesday] would have acted any differently in DC had it or the character never existed. They did what they did because their demented turd of a leader convinced them the election had been stolen; if you're ready to take violent action on that basis then no bloody, silly T-shirt you wear will have any bearing on the line you've crossed. In fact, it's completely irrelevant

Look man, he's just trying not to get unpersoned by the liberal media establishment, he knows it's as much a fascist symbol if not moreso than a swastika made from iron crosses.

watched Barton Fink yesterday, really cool movie

there's a political reading of it too which I didn't think about but found on wikipedia, the FBI agents have a German and Italian name, and here apparently Fink is an allegory for pre-war naive left-wing intellectuals.

The thing with him being out of touch and not really what the "common man" has to say and only cares about it as an abstraction seems pretty straightforward. I didn't even like the film at first because I hated Fink so much. Seems to me like there's many readings you could have about Fink's relationship to Charlie.

Apparently a sequel where Fink is a professor in the 60's or 70's might be made, that would be awesome.

Eh, Garth Ennis is one of those people from the UK that romanticize the idea of America. Like, they know the reality is poo poo, but they can't let go of the mythical dream of what its supposed to represent.

...which is kind of ironic because Ennis hates it when Americans do that to Ireland.
