That's why - and I'm sidetracking a bit - I can't enjoy the second Deadpool movie. I consider it a parody of itself, instead of a parody of other superhero tropes.

Excuse me what the fuck

@ETBrooD Sorry to hurt your fee fees, but I consider 007 to just be a designation that any agent can receive and hold. The early Bonds were similar in part due to training, in part due to demand. And it's not like MI5 cannot change designations, ever. For all I care, the agent style of the previous 007s is less needed, and the designation changed roles. I agree, they completely changed the character, but I still like the movies. And they're free to change the character. It's their franchise.

Also, yes Deadpool 2 was shit compared to 1, because it self-destructed too often. And I generally don't like superhero stuff. However, meta-jokes can be and are successful, you just have to know when and where to place them.

If they had completely changed Bond and given him a different tag I'd be fine with it

But they didn't do that, because they wanted the artistic changes but conserve the effects of the commercialization.

That's what Hollywood does all the time these days, and it's getting seriously annoying.

So what you get is all the superficial elements for brand recognition and fan service, but otherwise the character is completely unrecognizable, which makes for a confused, incoherent mix.

But since that's a working formula, they'll keep doing it.

It'd be far more interesting to me if Daniel Craig had played a new, wildly different agent.

It's also why I'm a bit conflicted about the Joker movie. I think it fits because there's never been one single true backstory in the canon of the character.

But it is still a commercialized approach to slap the name and concept of the Joker on a product that didn't require it, and to include fan service with the story link to the Waynes.

I can accept it because the Joker's past is a question mark.

And I don't buy the "it's their franchise" reasoning. Despite that being a true statement, it doesn't absolve them from criticism.

Anyway, all of that's just my opinion, so whatever.

what the fuck is that cursed fursona

I agree with the furry, I'll let it live. For now.

@bocchi just wants friends Inshallah, brother. May I not reveal your counterrevolutionary actions to NAJA.

Greta Thunberg to turn off the heat at an orphanage.

Is she gassing children already? She was quick to NatSoc

Kids grow up fast these days

Can't you read? She's taking the gas. Those kids wish she was gassing them

She's going to use the orphans as fuel in the furnaces?!?

Heat off, to freeze, resulting in death

To gas, be nazi, gas with doors wide open

She'd definitely pick gulags over ovens

Burn the coal

What about ovens to run the gulags?!

Well ovens are gulags (or camps) have magically coal amplifiers, where one tonne of coal would once burn say, 10 bodies, at a camp it can burn 10 gorillian

So sending the unworthy to camps would be a net carbon efficiency boost

Maybe some people are just 90% Ethanol, have you thought about that?

The polish camp used only 2,250 tonnes of coal during ww2 🙂 very efficient plant

They had alternative sources of hydrocarbons

Not even my dad is 90% ethanol and he drinks like a camel

Camels drink rarely

But in large volume

Like every Aussie binge drinker

But rarely, as in high tolerance. But you're not pickling yourself

I’ll work on that analogy

Horse is a better option, as they also will literally drink themselves to death by sheer volume
