Oh no you mean the boys couldn't connect with a superhero movie where there are 3 superheroes but none of them are men? And two of them are not white and one is not even Christian. Oh I am shocked. Especially when the powerful antagonist is also not white male. You don't say. And the supporting roles have men but one is black and the other is Asian and rest are muslims?! So cruel!!! And even the lab tech minions are black and brown ?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ARE MORE CATS THAN WHITE MAN?! I am shocked? Shocked that they hate it. Must be the bad acting of Oscar winning lead and critically acclaimed directors fumbling, can't be anything else. Am sure all the reviews are unbiased. So sad.

“don’t go where i can’t follow” is literally the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. it’s like. i’ll let you bring me anywhere—far from home, far from the places and people i love, so long as you stay with me. i’ll let you walk into danger and through hell, but i will not let you go where i can’t go with you. that is where i draw the line.

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like "Evil volcano inspection unit" and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (2023) 1.07

The Garden of Earthly Delights (1490-1500)

In the seventh episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, we see The Garden of Earthly Delights; a piece by Hieronymus Bosch with themes such as the fate of humanity and sin.

The panels depict the Garden of Eden, the Human World, and Hell (from left to right). We can see Sally Jackson reaching for the centre — the Human World — and her son, who is standing in front of Hell.

my favorite thing about the creator (2023) was the parallel between the human general woman getting a bomb on her and running towards people yelling “get it off”, resulting in the deaths of her men, and one of the robots getting a bomb on him and running away from people, sacrificing himself for them.

fuck, man. just. a.i., being more human than humans.

just saw The Creator and i am having thoughts

a lot of reviews seem to focus on the sci-fi aspects, the fact that there's a war against A.I. and saying "this is a glimpse of what our world could be" without any hint of understand that this is what the world already is

sure, there's no war against A.I. but i think the more important part of the film is the depiction of U.S. imperialism and the wanton destruction and murder the U.S. military leaves everywhere it goes. in there muerderous quest to destroy all A.I. in revenge for something that was actually a human error, they murder thousands of innocent humans, adults and children alike. U.S. imperialism doesn't care how many it leaves dead, as long it achieves its objective.

to many people around the world watching this movie, where American missiles are launched at distant targets with no regard for who they kill, this film will be saddly familiar. over here in the imperial core, we have no idea what it feels like to be helpless in the face of such cruel destruction, but hundreds of millions of people around the world do.

so, like all good sci-fi, this wasn't a look at what the world could be if we let A.I. keep developing, but a look at how the world already is because we let the U.S. military industrial complex run amok

There will never be another like her. Her mother completed her in secret, when you were together. Just weeks before the night of the attack. She could have made her to hate mankind. Perhaps she should have. But Maya put her love for you into the child. She made a new kind of life. From a scan of a human embryo. A copy of your child.
