I just never found them to be particulary rooted in civil rights movement, more so just an issue of intolerance over all. Is there anything that makes early X-Men comics similar to the civil rights movement events happening in 60s America? I'm asking of pure curiousness.

but i feel like most of the times this discourse inevitably comes to Lee and Kirby being the first who made that connection, which i just think gives them too much credit.

Ofcourse if you can see connections between early x-men comics and civil rights movement that's a good interpretation as it shouldn't be concerned with what creators of the work had im mind,

That's allright i don't hold grudges. And i get it, i might sound a little pedantic but i didn't say that to downplay overall relevance of X-Men to injustice and prejudice that Black people face.

That's also not to say there wasn't a theme of prejudice but it was pretty minor to what would come later in the story of the team and it was rather related to overall concept of intolerance.

And as i said Magneto and Xavier originally had very little to do with their supposed inspirations, you could vaguely say one of them was a radical and other was trying to help the opressed, but that's it.

Stan Lee would say anything if it was to be used to further build his legacy as a good grandpa of comic books. It's undisputable that he was very much willing to take credit for things he had nothing to do with.

Non the less, yeah both Kirby and Lee were big lefties who didn't like racism

The first was a one dimensional villain who literally lead the "brotherhood of EVIL mutants" and the latter's motivation was to show to the public that not all mutants are bad, which would be quite a missuderstanding of MLK's agenda if it was supposed to be an allegory

I hate to be that guy but no, original X-Men weren't allegory for civil rights movement, and nor proffesor X nor Magneto weren't allegories for MLK and Malcolm X.

A lot of people don't know about this but significant portion of fromsoft's concept arts are hastely photobashed colagges. It's a fucking art and art like no other, and it shouldn't be taken over by AI slop becouse some asshole doesn't get what creative process is.

development, guy writing it focused on the themes of authority and the individualism. You know it's not something deep, but it wasn't borderline illiterate conspiracy.

and there was an article on how bloodborne story is metaphore for victorian science. I thought i would get a seisure. But when i got to the article about the story of sekiro, a game with much clearer story and actual character

To be fair Vaati also isn't source of it, it's fromsoftware themself and way in wich tell the story. I once bought a special release of Polish game magazine that was all focused on soulsgames

Unless your point is that this money should be invested somwhere else entirely which i kinda get and i'm sorry if that's what you meant.

I might be missing something very obvious but wasn't it your response to the fact of company wasting 70bln dollars and by extension also offering no career sustainability. It just makes it sound like you think of investing in art is a bigger of two evils.

Or even better, look at it from purely human perspective and think of culture and art being pushed forward with all that money

Who cares if those games sold? You shouldn't look at it from the perspective of corporations, look at it from perspective of consumer who gets to choose from 150 different big budget titles

You're just the same person who would shit on human artists and tell them "looks like AI". Even if something's shitty you don't need to hyperbole their negative atributes. Devil doesn't need more bad rep to make them seem bad, but shitty moralists like you need fake outrage to go on with their lifes

It's not uncommon to have cameos of people without acting skills in your movies. And it's not like most of his acting credits are as big of roles to bring the entire movie expiriance down.

As much as Tarantino keeps dropping unhinged opinions not excluding the one about Dano, and he's just straight up terrible person, this comparison strikes as being really unfair. Tarantino though lacks acting skills is not an actor, he's a director.

I just cannot. Another day and another person that had allready been more talented than me in every possible way has turned out to be even more gifted. Why was I even born?

I fear that one day i will watch your video and never come back again. It's hard for me, but becouse of what you did for me i feel obligated to officially say goodbye. I don't feel like i can do it today, but one day I'll have to.

It really sad that a person that had become in some way a significant part of my life becomes distant (that's of course not your fault). And it's quite ironic that even now i'm interacting with you just becouse you're speaking on how much you despise the thing that i love.
