@XXL This is why I respect Young Thug for giving these newer artists a chance and remixing songs by perhaps more underground rappers to get their name out their more. See now I heard Young Thug did something with it, I might listen to a Eltorn Jon track in future. Good luck to him
@DINO_DUDE66@Rhetoricfilm1 @Allison_Burnett Like Civil War had fluffy pseudopolitical questions it tried to pose, but even then the ‘who watches the watchmen’ idea is played out & ‘heroes facing consequences of fighting’ idea was puddledeep when the movie itself was centred around 2 glorified climactic CGI fight setpieces
@DINO_DUDE66@Rhetoricfilm1 @Allison_Burnett Im not fully sure what ‘non-escapism stories’ are, but I disagree that WS, CW & IW all encouraged introspection, intellectual discussion & critical analysis
I like the films (except CW, trash) but still the hero vs villain wish fulfilment anchors them, not the underlying themes
@JfBproject @Allison_Burnett I like(d) the movies anyway. But like the guy above I can’t say they encourage introspection, any deep intellectual discussion or for the viewer to use their own independent thinking.
Instead the movies are definitely watered down & always balance out ‘deep’ shit with dumb stuff
@JfBproject @Allison_Burnett I agree the comics encourage debate about this, but the movies do not
The film Civil War is proof. Masquerades with some pseudo-political bs about asking whether heroes should be governed & punished...but in reality that plot exists solely to facilitate the 2 big fight setpieces
@Real_Mike_P @Allison_Burnett I think youre correct but youre also missing the point. Adults of all ages can enjoy & even relate to it, but usually not to the extent that people like or so many of the younger generations do
There can be inferences to be make from that generational infatuation with capeshit
@ParableJean @Allison_Burnett Yeah I was a Marvel fan but Civil War was simply childish. Masqueraded as a ‘serious superhero story’ that tackles the consequences of their actions & whether heroes should be governed or not
..but really the flimsy plot only existed to facilitate m 2 big fight setpieces. boring
@bigd_o_cycler@christymarx I agree with cowardice compensation, not as much with white supremacy.
I can’t see how modern day superhero media presents a white supremacists fantasy. Sure I could see that argument applied to the old comics & cartoons, but in the modern era it seems a bit irrelevant.
@donseesghosts @enlighten_me2@ComplexMusic@Complex@kanyewest Yeah I know. Music is subjective & I still respect the 2 as legends
I just feel JiK was bad, Ye was nothing special either, Dre’s Compton wasnt as good as Chronic or 2001 & the way Dre hyped up Oxnard & Ventura as classics only for them to just be decent was disappointing.
@seawead1@PontiusPilate67@imacelebrity@romankemp@jacquelineMjos Overall though I agree with this tweet & I hope my other replies don’t see too aggressive.
Just I think you should use the context of a convo to decide whether someone’s pronoun use is rude or is justified.
@seawead1@PontiusPilate67@imacelebrity@romankemp@jacquelineMjos Overall though I was educating someone by telling them what happened to the Bruce they know. I will not bend over backwards, complicate things more for the other person & insist Bruce has always been known as a she just to avoid being thought of as rude. That would be ridiculous.
@seawead1@PontiusPilate67@imacelebrity@romankemp@jacquelineMjos When referring to the past tense it’s considered rude to use the pronoun & name they had in the past? That’s not rude at all.
This guy was talking about Bruce: a man who existed in the past. I was educating him by explaining Bruce changed gender & pronoun so he is now a she.
@seawead1@PontiusPilate67@imacelebrity@romankemp@jacquelineMjos Are you purposefully being obtuse? Bruce Jenner changed gender and name. Bruce was a man. Caitlyn is a woman. He (Bruce) changed name and gender
Why do you want me to say she (Bruce) changed name and gender?
& there’s nothing wrong with using the gender-ambiguous pronoun ‘they’
@KanyePodcast@thehawkq@kanyewest But it’s all art though. If you make extra detailed inferences then I have no problem wrong with that & im sure it only enhances your appreciation of the music.
Maybe one day I’ll view the albums the same way though. But at the moment I personally can’t see it.
@KanyePodcast@thehawkq@kanyewest I think you’re stretching/looking too deep into what’s probably just coincidences or small runs of songs that deal with similar content sequenced together in the final stage of ordering the tracklist, rather than planned that way from the beginning.
@LoOnieEU @ChantelClinch @StinkyKittyKap @emilyconnellx@PontiusPilate67@imacelebrity@romankemp@jacquelineMjos She blocked you so I hope I’m not doing anything wrong by screenshotting this.
But this is one of the pettiest threads I’ve seen & your trolling wasn’t that funny or successful. Just a bland boring thread overall with people arguing behind a keyboard. im gonna leave now
@thehawkq@KanyePodcast@kanyewest But I agree with what you’re saying anyway. Even with MBDTF the story isn’t 100% consistent and some songs like So Appalled are just standard rap tracks that someone would have to stretch to try connect to a larger story.
So yeah you’re right overall.
@thehawkq@KanyePodcast@kanyewest I think MBDTF definitely has since it tells the story of his downfall after the Taylor Swift incident and him escaping to Haiwaii
Starting off he can’t get much higher & he’s high on the power, but he turns into a monster, runs away, ends up accepting being lost in world, etc
