    It’s not bad, it’s just kind of meh mostly. Shouldn’t have to apologize though.

    Also, Everything Everywhere All At Once is probably my favorite movie and Trading Places is possibly my favorite Christmas movie.

      Trading Places is possibly my favorite Christmas movie.

      If you want another good Christmas story with Jamie Lee Curtis, might I recommend season 2 episode 6 of The Bear.

            Yes, good job. Now tell me… Do the movies frame this as a good thing? Or… maybe… the whole point of his entire ten year character arc is that he learns the error of his ways? He changes from a selfish jingoistic narcissist into a compassionate leader and mentor who eventually sacrifices himself to save others.

            Maybe one day you’ll have some character growth too and watch the second half of a movie.

              Tony Stark was literally designed to be the worst person Stan Lee could imagine.

              Because they wanted to see how such a character could manifest as super hero anyway.

              I think he succeeded.

                Sure, if comics were real we all know Gotham would be better off if Bruce Wayne would focus on philanthropy instead of dressing up like a bat but no one would make a movie about that because it would be boring.

                Sounds like comic book movies aren’t your thing but generally when your story introduces problems like a purple alien guy with a genocide glove the right answer actually is to put on a robot suit and shoot lasers at em.

                  Nah, I think the message was that when Stark finally killed himself, the world was a better place.

                  I was am a big fan of watchmen. This genre doesn’t need to celebrate terrorists. The comedian was condemned.

                  Hell, X-men was great as an allegory for gay people defending themselves.

                  MCU was just terrible.

            Tony Stark is a fictional character that can’t commit war crimes because he isn’t real…

            Get your head checked 🤡
