I think its kind of silly to defend marvel movies as kike an every man blue collar cultural thing.
Theyre carefully crafted, often propagandistic, films mass produced by one of the largest companies on earth for the purpose of hording more wealth and finally killing god.
Went to get coffee and both windows were occupied. By cars facing the wrong way.
It felt like I’d pulled up to a gas station where every customer had pulled the hose over their car to reach the tank because they don’t know what the little arrow on the gas gauge means

God that's like a bothel stop sign. I'm sorry.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
It is amazing what a conservative, rich dude perspective Nolan's Batman trilogy has when you stop to think about it
From the Wikipedia summary of Batman Begins:
Bruce takes an interest in his family's company, Wayne Enterprises, which is being taken public by the unscrupulous William Earle...Bruce reveals he has purchased a controlling stake in Wayne Enterprises, firing Earle
who cares whether the ultra-rich dude has a controlling stake in his daddy's company? like, who is this for?
Then the next movie involves Batman building a mass surveillance system, and it's portrayed as OK because it's extraordinary circumstances or whatever. One character kind of objects but the movie is completely uninterested in exploring the negative consequences of surveillance
Then the next movie is about a populist, anti-rich uprising and, of course, portrays the populists as evil.
And here's a quote from the third film's plot summary:
organized crime has been eradicated in Gotham City thanks to the Dent Act giving expanded powers to the police
There is no clear reason why every adventure story should necessarily be mixed up with snobbishness and gutter patriotism ... Such things have been done before, though not in England. In the last years of the Spanish monarchy there was a large output in Spain of left-wing novelettes, some of them evidently of anarchist origin ... If, for instance, a story described police pursuing anarchists through the mountains, it would be from the point of view of the anarchist and not of the police.
... in England, popular imaginative literature is a field that left-wing thought has never begun to enter. All fiction from the novels in the mushroom libraries downwards is censored in the interests of the ruling class.
The dark knight rises was a populist anti rich uprising? I thought there was a prison break full of violent criminals and also bane attempts to nuke Gotham, killing millions of innocents?

Calvin and Hobbes is such utter quality
