I think it’s kinda awesome that DSA recruiters will have an easier time signing up trust fundy Ivy League sociology grad students than Costco cashiers.
@ClownWorld The movie did not fail due to any of “-ists” that are accused of tanking it. Supergirl is a c list character who has never had a series go past #80. She has no defining stories or memorable villains of her own. Her comics fan based is tiny beyond her being drawn cute.
This was a talking point from the 1950s, when defense was a much larger share of the federal budget, and people just repeat it without checking to see if it's true.

These deaths could’ve been prevented.
Insanely radicalizing
Podcaster Matt Jarbo says to take positive reviews of The Odyssey with a grain of salt:
"First reactions to THE ODYSSEY are out, and yeah, they are glowing. Of course they are. Look, it’s Christopher Nolan. It’s IMAX. It’s mythology. It’s Oscar gold bait wrapped in 70mm celluloid. This is catnip for the rank-and-file early screening crowd. These are the same people who treat most non-prestige movies like a public health crisis, then walk into a Nolan movie ready to receive communion. So yes, take the reactions seriously if you want. But take them with a whole damn salt mine."
Do you take the reviews seriously?
@BasedBandita I am an 3rd generation American of Mexican descent. When I am in a neighborhood with lots of American flags I think “i am among my people”. I am so glad my great grandparents came here 125 years ago.
@ClownWorld I asked chat gpt it this would be better but it said no. That seemed wrong because it prevents the heat from entering through the window. It did cite the risk of theft.

@CBR Wrong. Andrew Garfield ruins everything he is in with that whiny voice and cry baby face. Worst Peter Parker ever. Plus the rhino was awful. Paul G was a bad casting and he is usually pretty good in whatever he is doing.
