Target, MasterCard, power tools, and everything else. I knew a lot of these companies were in bed with each other, but it's a disturbing thought to consider Target as part of the MCU canon.

    iron man is probably why I don't drink, because it was genuinely shocking to me as a kid to watch the silly rich robot laser shooty man get plagued by realistic consequences of alcoholism and depression. Got traumatized away from ever touching alcohol, which I guess was the point of the comic. Then the movies come out and it's like uhhh what if Elon Musk had a bazinga robo suit and worked for the DOD

    don't worry I read actual books later in my childhood like Dostoevsky and whatever. Death to America please

      And that's the sad thing. Art can be helpful and life-changing, but when it's channeled through focus groups and censorship to make it PG-13, you're not going to see an artist actually doing something.

      It's alienating a person from their connection to art. I see art as an attempt to understand a person's perspective. I wish I had more of an art critique background, but there's something cool about making something and someone else getting it too.
