get that OUT of my face posted:the blackface in question is from an episode of The Sarah Silverman Program where she makes a bet with a black guy about who has it worse in society: black people or Jews. so to walk a mile in his shoes, she walks around in blackface, which, as you might expect, causes people to get mad at her. at the end of the episode you find out that the black guy is walking around as a Jewish caricature. it was a funny, if crude, take on race relations wait this is the skit people are defending? Jesus Christ People made it out to some harmless look at race relations.

joker doesn’t really seem to be a comic book movie. like it just seems to be a killer clown movie with no real connection to the joker besides the name

though the problem is they are kind of ashamed of comic books so they change them to make them more “serious”. Which is lame because Thanos killing people to impress a girl is way less dumb then where we ended up. People are fine with weird silly poo poo

I think it’s because they don’t really care about those shows and aren’t desperate to catch up with Marvel. DC would be fine if they followed Marvels plan but they want to take shortcuts and it blows up every time. that and letting Zack Snyder run rampant

Serf posted:probably a combination of astroturfing and media libs with incel hot takes. ofc now it seems like they were doing that to distract from the class war imagery in the movie I don’t see why a movie about a mentally ill man leading a vague revolution should be the most lib movie

Avatar has a hugely successful theme park and apparently some mountains in like China or something. You don’t need a moment. Hell Harry Potter doesn’t have anything like that and it’s still going strong despite how hard Rowling is trying to kill it

Farm Frenzy posted:extremely weird point lol. theres tons of crap that was huge in the 70s that nobody remembers not really. I think the weird point is the one that is objectively incorrect personally. functionally this whole argument is an argument for why past pop culture is good and new pop is bad using arbitrary metrics

Some Guy TT posted:have you looked at the box office charts or the tv ratings or the bestseller lists from that era because the vast majority of it is poo poo that neither you nor i nor anyone else has ever heard of that isn’t terribly relevant to my point unless you think I mean every pop culture article will be remembered which isn’t my point nor the discussion. pop culture will be remembered for rather arbitrary reasons and the idea that modern pop culture will be forgotten when past pop has objectively not is insane. it’s old man yelling at clouds basically

Some Guy TT posted:the idea that past pop culture was forgotten for being poo poo is the exact opposite of old man yelling at clouds I did not use a Simpson reference so I have no idea what you mean here. the Simpsons reference was in relationship to Friends another twenty year old show. both not forgotten. Weird Almost like popular pop culture just doesn’t disappear
