      Bad guy makes good points

      Bad guy subsequently commits mass murder for no reason, beyond shitty writers not wanting audiences to identify with them

      yea

        Honestly, it's tiring seeing all the bad comic book tropes popping up in film

        Means I have to suffer through them twice

        Also, if they ever make Magneto start putting people into concentration camps again, I will stab a motherfucker knifecat

          They're not concentration camps, that wasn't a genocide and magneto was just the adult in the room who has to make all the tough decisions maybe-later-honey

          This was an excellent way to articulate what I've felt about much of the entertainment media landscape, much appreciated

      And all 60 years of the Bond movies. But I guess the rebels Bond faces tend to be even more fascist than anglo-burn so they probably wouldn't appreciate those...

        In multiple movies they're straight up marxists that are being depicted as corrupt. All the south american ones in particular.

          Or that time when all the black ppl in America were part of an evil voodoo conspiracy against Bond. Its almost a 50/50 toss up whether the villain is commies/former commies or stereotypical scary minorities tbh

              73's "Live and Let Die" - its a fuckin trip. It also establishes that voodoo curses and the lwa Baron Samedi are 100% real and 100% magical in James Bond so...theres that lol
