World's on fire with war tensions running rampant. So it's important to talk about the things that really matter. Cartoons, comics, & movies. You've all seen it. Somehow Rebecca Sugar has returned. Steven Universe is making ANOTHER return with a new spinoff about Lars in his Captain Harlock ripoff homage outfit & his crew of misfit, even for them, gems. Predictions? Strong likelihood of more half assed surface level copyright infringements references to dubbed anime Sugar grew up with. As well as plenty of modern day politics free from the restrains of TV standards & practices. God help us all. To lightened up the mood, we got a surprisingly decent to dare I say good Predator animated movie anthology. It's biggest downside is the low framerate animation. A "style" popularized by the Spider-verse movies. If you can stomach that & enjoyed Prey then you may be pleasantly surprised like I was. We have another trailer for the upcoming second attempt at kickstarting a DC live action movie universe starting with Superman. Can James Gunn pull it off with genuine heart or will he pull another Guardians of the Galaxy with misunderstanding the characters for the sake of comedy? Or worse yet, continue to blunder his chance by having too many of Snyder's leftovers tied into this new universe? Speaking of which... Peacemaker season 2. John Mao Cena is back with another season of Peacemaker. This time more confusing & definitely going to muddy the waters on continuity. At least there's no more Margot Robbie Harley Quinn shoved in. What about Creature Commandos? Well fuck that show. while technically it's the real first entry into the Gunnverse, it's not what's going to introduce the average person to it & definitely doesn't have the same appeal even before seeing the men hating & cucking in the show. So let's ignore it for now. We also kinda got nothing to go off of for Supergirl nor the Lanterns show other than the casting. But we did just get an announcement for another show. Mister Miracle.... based on Tom King's comic. Showran by Tom King. Hope you like therapy & bondage.
>>57513 >>57601 Isn't this basically just the same exact thing? Artists using fictional characters to validate their political views and opions of the world.
>>57608 In essence yes. But one's a threat against federal cops just arresting illegals to be deported while treating them like nazis. While the other is more accurately depicting a superhero taking down actual terrorists.
>>57608 >Isn't this basically just the same exact thing That's the point
>>57609 >In essence yes >>57619 >That's the point So what does this actually accomplish? Aside from establishing to the world "We can act like faggots, too". Where's the "high road" in all this?
>>57621 The high road is literally the side not making threats against essentially cops. Stop fence sitting as if there's no moral right.
>>57622 >The high road is literally the side not making threats against essentially cops Even when the police are corrupt as fuck, like we are currently seeing in Chicago and Portland as they let Antifa control entire city blocks? Or as has infamously taken place in NYC and Jeresy, where the police are were on the mob's payroll? Or what we're seeing take place in other countries like the U.K., where you can get arrested for making an "offensive" tweet, having a butter knife, and describing that the person who robbed you is an immigrant? Even ICE isn't obsolved of any wrong doing when they were essentially used as enforces against "uppity" immigrants during the King Nigger and Brandon years. >Stop fence sitting as if there's no moral right. There is a "morally right" path to take. This isn't it.
>>57623 That's not strictly police corrupt. That's city government corruption. ICE is absolved when they've done nothing you can complain the police are doing/have done. It makes no sense to make broad death threats. If you think it's not morally right to dunk on the art & artist who made said threats then you've got a screw loose.
>>57624 >That's not strictly police corrupt. Yes, it is. The officers are still individual people with choices that they can make. That includes how they can interpret the orders that they are given by their superiors. >If you think it's not morally right to dunk on the art & artist BOTH of these jackasses should be dunked on. The original guy who started it, and the idiot who responded. You don't obsolve either individual just because they happen to agree with your political opinion. We go after the baizuo all the time for doing just that.
>>57626 The world does not operate on loose cannon cop rules. It's a job & they have to listen to their superiors. No that's retarded.
>>57627 >It's a job & they have to listen to their superiors Within reason. An officer is still held responsible for carrying out an order, even when they know that the order is morally and legally wrong. And it doesn't matter one fucking bit if that order came from some two-bit mall cop who happens to be fucking the commissioners daughter or from God himself. In addition, they cannot "read" their superiors mind, meaning that it is left up to their "intepretation" to carry out an order that their superior has delivered. These guys still have a choice on what they can do.
>>57628 Okay you're still speaking in broad vague nonsense just to be mad at cops. Yes there's bad cops. Yes there's cops who failed to do their duty because of bad orders. No that doesn't mean death threats or violence against them is justified. For a fencesitter you're looking for any reason to agree with the psychos on this one.
>>>57626 >BOTH of these jackasses should be dunked on. The original guy who started it, and the idiot who responded. You don't obsolve either individual just because they happen to agree with your political opinion. We go after the baizuo all the time for doing just that. Agreed, Anon. I don't care what side of the political spectrum it is, using an established fictional character as a blatant, ham fisted mouth piece for personal politics is annoying and cringe. I'm on the side of legal immigration and enforcing borders, but Batman with "ICE" on his chest strangling two dudes with "ANTIFA" on their shirts is just another cringe and unsubtle political cartoon. >>57601 Also, aside from the political cringe why is Batman drawn with what appears to be ropes or chains hanging off his costume and dragging the ground?
>>57630 That's the Absolute Batman design that was used in the first place. It's a dumb over the top design. On that we can agree on.
>>57629 >Okay you're still speaking in broad vague nonsense just to be mad at cops You missunderstand me and haven't been keeping up with the conversation if that's your analysis of what I am saying. I have absolutely nothing against law enforcement. If anyone does, it would be a character like Batman. A orphen who grew up in a corrupt city, and has to take matters into his own hands in order to see any justice taking place. >>57630 >Also, aside from the political cringe why is Batman drawn with what appears to be ropes or chains hanging off his costume and dragging the ground? >>57631 >That's the Absolute Batman design that was used in the first place. Isn't he LITERALLY AND UNIRONICALLY just Spawn at this point, except without all the esoteric bullshit? And a rather ironic transition to make since Spawn started as a Batman rip-off.
>>57632 Ah, now I remember. I only really knew of this from some images of the clunky rectangle chest insignia also being an axe. I didn't read any of this because it looks like yet another grimdark reimagining where Batman is hyper violent, swears, and kills people. The design also looks too much like Spawn with his cape shapeshifting like that. One off iterations of this is fine, but annoying how so many modern comics seem to be against idealistic super hero stories with strong moral principles. Everything has to be some level of ultra serious, gritty, and dark because it's "mature" and "realistic".
>>57632 >I have absolutely nothing against law enforcement. If anyone does, it would be a character like Batman. Wrong again. Batman's basically best friend with Jim Gordon. His whole career is vigilante cop work by letting the law take care of criminals he stops. Sure it doesn't work but that's comic book problems. Batman would hate corruption but he also hates actual terrorists using any excuse like depersoning someone by calling them a fascist nazi to hurt them.
>>57635 In defense, the grit is the point with the Absolute Universe being made from Darkseid's influence. But the problem is that this Batman is just silly. He's supposed to have none of the advantages or support normal Batman does. He's just a city engineer & his mom is still alive. But he's also a 20 something the size of normal Bane... on Venom. And he has these impossible gadgets built into his suit. The first issue ends with him shooting MI6 agent Alfred with a shotgun... modified to shoot totally nonlethal tiny batarangs... in his face. Then jumping out of a high rise on a motorcycle. It's peak trying too hard but it's not even ironic.
>>57636 >Batman's basically best friend with Jim Gordon Except here's the problem with that logic, why isn't Bruce a cop then? I mean, if Gordon shows that there are "good" people in the police, and Bruce still sees the police as a force of good, then he should have joined law enforcement. OR, he could still be in charge of Wayne Industries and be loaning out weapons and tech to the police for the purposes of helping law enforcement. Or OR, he could also create a private security company and investigations company (Like what the Pinkertons used to be before they got involved in union busting). There's a lot of options of what he could do. But to resort to spending his nights personally harassing criminals on the streets says something deeply about his character and his views.
>>57638 Because the police force IS corrupt. Gotham is full of corruption. That doesn't mean Batman would hate police. Bruce became Batman to do what the law can't deal with. He puts the fear into criminals & fights the supervillains they can't handle. Vigilante justice is literally what you were advocating for to begin with. He breaks the law to uphold it through brutality! Again your logic is flawed & full of bias even if you keep trying to deflect.
>>57639 >Because the police force IS corrupt. Gotham is full of corruption. That doesn't mean Batman would hate police. To an extent, yes, it does. Especially when he goes above and beyond activities that would be allowed for what is considered a "citizen's arrest". >Bruce became Batman to do what the law can't deal with. Who determines what is a subject that the "law cannot deal with"? Even Al Capone was eventually caught. >He puts the fear into criminals And he's doing such a good job with allowing career criminals like Catwoman and Harley roam free. >& fights the supervillains they can't handle They could IF he ever bothered loaning out his tech. >Vigilante justice is literally what you were advocating for to begin with. No, I wasn't. Again, you haven't actually read what I said. >He breaks the law to uphold it through brutality! That's not how it works. Either the law delivers justice, or it doesn't. Whether it's effective or not, or how long it takes to enforce it, does not fact into the equation. You don't break the law to "preserve" the law. In fact, that's EXACTLY the logic the Communists and the Fascists justify. That they, are they alone, are the ones who are allowed to break all of man's laws to solve whatever "crisis" they believe exists, and all on the excuse and "promise" that they'll return back to the "law" the moment the crisis is over.
>>57640 You're an idiot. Again, talking in circles. Gotham police is corrupt. Batman exists to work outside the law for the law. Something you advocated for by saying police are bad if they don't go against corrupt orders from higher up. Gordon exists to clean up the department & bridge the gap with Batman. Showing he does not hate cops & would not. He wants the law to do it's job. Ergo, Batman would support lawful arrests against criminals & would punish terrorists calling people nazis to hurt people like Antifa. ICE is not bad nor on the level of individual corrupt cops. You also cannot do broadstrokes all cops are bad. That's the exact shit Antifa did in the first place. That's it. Stop overthinking it. Stop being a hypocrite.

>>57641 >Batman exists to work outside the law for the law And how does that work when the law is corrupt? At "best", all he's doing is adding to the problem instead of solving it. >Something you advocated for by saying police are bad if they don't go against corrupt orders from higher up. That's not "vigilante justice", that's police officers performing their job and duties. And this is a rule that doesn't just apply to the police. The same applies to the military, and even regular occupations. You don't consider it a "vigilante act" when a soldier refuses to fire on a crowd of civilians, or when a contractor refuses to cut corners and ignore safety codes when building a skyscraper. Why are you doing that here? >Gordon exists to clean up the department & bridge the gap with Batman. Showing he does not hate cops & would not. Then why doesn't he help the police directly instead of "working outside of the law"? Especially when Gordon has been there...how many years? And his daughter has been one of Bruce's closest friends for...how long? In addition, you still haven't addressed a point like why hasn't Bruce created a Wayne Industries private security company? Or even sold tech to the average citizen of Gotham so that they can protect themselves? >Ergo, Batman would support lawful arrests against criminals & would punish terrorists calling people nazis to hurt people like Antifa. And when the police go after Batman for attacking Pantyfa members, like we have already seen happening in Portland whenever people attempt to defend themselves? >ICE is not bad nor on the level of individual corrupt cops Yes, they were, again refering to the King Nigger and Brandon years. >You also cannot do broadstrokes all cops are bad. That's the exact shit Antifa did in the first place. Pantyfa is only "anti-police" to the extent that they wish to go unopposed. If the police interferes in Pantyfa's activities, then then police are "bad". If they don't interfere, then the police are good. It's simple as that. Pantyfa doesn't want the police abolished, they want them to exist for the purposes of protcting them whenever they practice their political activism. Whether that activism be a simple protest or beating someone's head in with a brick.
>>57643 I'm not repeating myself & you're an idiot. Stop being a fag.
>>57640 >>57643 It's a comic book, would you read a comic about Bruce Wayne going to college and becoming a prosecuting attorney who only uses martial arts to beat up mafia hitmen sent to intimidate him?
>>57678 >would you read a comic about Bruce Wayne going to college and becoming a prosecuting attorney who only uses martial arts to beat up mafia hitmen sent to intimidate him Isn't that literally just Daredevil? Also, yes. People tend to joke about it, but lawyering actually is rather interesting. I just wish that Suits didn't become more and more stupid as the series progressed. Still need to watch Boston Legal, though.
>>57680 Daredevil's legal cases often don't seem to correlate to the hero stuff he does. When they do intersect is usually when he's involved in something with other heroes going to court.

>>57637 >He's just a city engineer & his mom is still alive. Ah so he is from this universe. >>57678 I would if it's well written. Even something as dumb as "Batman in high-school" worked with Batman Beyond.

Absolutely fucking retarded. Said it before. Say it again. Absolute Batman is just a lamer gay leftist diet Spawn. And Spawn's already intentionally antagonistic towards Christians.
