Between “Before” and “Now” was the enlightenment. An age in which intellectuals said “I can enjoy both, they are not in direct competition”. This required comparing and contrasting the subject material, critical thinking. It required the viewer to define what makes each franchise unique. The main reason for in-fighting in both communities is the “nu” material paid the fee to call their products “official” but didn’t do the work to make them “authentic”. Now I’m not blaming nu fans, not gatekeeping, this was done to the fandom intentionally by corporate stooges. You don’t hire the same director as the other franchise if you are trying to preserve your distinctiveness, and that goes for marvel/dc too. Don’t get me started on hbo, I’ve been seeing adds with the iron throne that say “to rule then all”. They want you to conflate these properties because they don’t have the grey matter to tell them apart and they don’t want you to either.

classic hollywood. they want a sequel because they don't appreciate the first one was an adaptation of a comic that was itself an adaptation of Herodotus, or they don't care. - Comment on what golden age character would you love to see in the mcu (2023-01-09 13:27:55)
Namor - Comment on Future L.A. – Can’t wait for huuuuge future buildings (2022-12-15 23:13:04)
It’s already happening. The old radio tower on la cienaga was bought by a san fran developer who abused a loophole designed to prevent this. Law says you can’t build more than two stories above your “neighbors” (as defined as structures within a quarter mile). But they bought a farkin radio tower! So they bulldozed it a put up another ‘nother ‘nother luxury condo tower with a farkin whole foods in the fist floor. - Comment on Tina Fey (2022-12-15 23:06:51)

I love this movie. I try and watch it every fourth of July. Williams achieves such profound sadness. An under-rated gem. - Comment on Frazetta (2021-03-13 14:51:40)

Chuck Norris jokes began in WoW, in barrens chat, under Steve Bannon. They are literally white supremacist trial balloons. It’s how they test a mod’s tolerance for abusive behavior. - Comment on Sculpting DARTH MAUL Star Wars – The Phantom Menace (2020-12-06 10:58:26)
Hey good looking - Comment on The Mandalorian Chapter 13 (2020-12-06 10:52:00)
OMG, like can you imagine? What if Star Wars DID make comics in the 80’s? Then Kennedy and Abrams and Johnson would have had stories they could copy, like at Marvel. Oh man, I would love to live in that alternative universe. How I wish Star Wars DID have source material, and comic books, and 800-page novels. - Comment on Winter Soldier Loves Black Widow (2020-06-09 14:28:42)
