New Captain America opens. Prepare for RW heads to explode.


This is going down the road of The Patriot Act is bad. Mark my words. And the RW ain't going to like it. Make some popcorn and get ready for the show (the movie AND the backlash). What will make it especially fun is that they are going to have to criticize the Captain Frickin' America. The cognitive dissonance will be delicious.

You know, for people who never watch TV or fall in for any popular culture, you DUmmies sure do know a lot about what's on TV and in the movies.




 

Guess it's time to update the list:

Conservative Head-Exploder		Actual Effect
Mixed couple in Super Bowl ad		Weak, dry fart
Wookies in China		Weak, dry fart
Veto of AZ Anti-Gay Bill		Weak, dry fart
Cat Stevens in Rock & Hall of Fame		Weak, dry fart
DOMA Unenforcement		Weak, dry fart
Faggy graham cracker ad		It's a RUSE, DUmmies.
Various facebook posts		Weak, dry fart
Various forwarded emails		Weak, dry fart
Various jobs reports		Weak, dry fart
Various facebook posts		Weak, dry fart
****ing "Cosmos"		Who gives a SHIT
Captain America movie		Who gives a SHIT

Wait until they find out Aquaman is gay.

They do have their movie group, which is hosted by Loconuts, so they have the potential for some really great critiques.

If they could get gNads to cohost that would indeed be a coup (in nadinese, a coop)

yup, trust me

27. "Captain America: ..." Is About Obama's Terror-Suspect Kill List, Say the Film's Directors

There are currently no plans to screen Captain America: The Winter Soldier at the White House, as far as the film's directors have heard. But if it makes it to the White House family theater, President Obama would be watching one big-budget, action-packed, and Scarlett Johansson-starring critique of his controversial terror-suspect "kill list."

This isn't me reading things into a mainstream comic-book movie. It's what the directors themselves will tell you.

" said they wanted to make a political thriller," Joe Russo, who directed the film with his brother Anthony, tells Mother Jones. "So we said if you want to make a political thriller, all the great political thrillers have very current issues in them that reflect the anxiety of the audience...That gives it an immediacy, it makes it relevant. So and I just looked at the issues that were causing anxiety for us, because we read a lot and are politically inclined. And a lot of that stuff had to do with civil liberties issues, drone strikes, the president's kill list, preemptive technology"—all themes they worked into the film, working closely with screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

I went and looked - sure enough, the 'indisputable' Mother Jones article killed the thread

Nope, it's still there.  Try the link in side the quote that Carl provided.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Conservatives aren't exactly nuts about the Patriot Act either, DUmmies...its biggest backers are politicians of BOTH parties in or adjacent to NY or MA so they can wave the bloody shirt, and of course John McCain, who may be a sort of a Republican, but is no kind of Conservative.

[Dori]

The FOX movie critic loved it, gave it 4.5 stars.  Thinks it's the best Marvel movie so far.  Lots of violence, don't take the kids even though it has a PG-13 rating.

     That's just to hop on the bandwagon, to cover up the exploding heads. /du

Sorry about that, I wasn't clear. I meant 'killed' as in 'no further replies' - not deleted.

Whoops 

Major fail.  You DUmbasses are so idiotic.  Aren't you ever embarrassed? 

Plus, our heads never explode.

Forrest was cropped out of your picture. He was on stage right.

26. As far as superheros are concerned, Captain America is pretty crappy.

Super strength and an adamantium shield?

Yawn.

I haven’t read a Captain America comic in years so I don’t know about the current incarnation of the comic book version, but based on the version that was in the comics when I was a kid and young adult only a DUmmie could view Captain America (a proud America who stands for truth and liberty) as pretty crappy.

The only hero who I would think is even less “crappy” than Captain America is Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell) who came to earth as a democrat and then became a republican.

And unless things have changed Captain America's shield is made of vibranium.

Ahha.  I wish the comments would have stayed up.
That was a cat fight looking for a place to happen.

     As I understand it, Cap is supposed to be mortal. He has superhuman strength and dexterity, and so on, but is supposed to be a genius-level military strategist, absolutely unflappable and fearless, and is a leader par excellence.

I've seen far more evidence of DUmmie and lefty head sploding than RW heads,
Just peruse any page on DU, and some DUmmy's head will splode right there in front of you.
And in their own words too!

Bring up something they disagree with...and its all, BOOM baby! BOOM!

I think it is funny they paint the sane people with their own colors,

Yeah, I heard it was about drones.  Who f***ing cares, (D)Umbasses?  I have yet to see any of the comic book movies and don't plan to.

Adamantium-vibranium composite in the older Marvel comics.  So sad that I know that...

Yes.

[CollectivismMustDie]

DUmmies don't think things through.

Individuals engaging in heroic actions without government authorization or approval is completely contrary to DUmmy beliefs, because if government didn't do it but an individual did it undermines collectivist ideology. Undermines the stealthily fostered fog of powerlessness their elected officials have gone to such great lengths to inflict on their own constituents.

And an individual named "Captain America" doing something right, proper, principled or ethical?

Well, they just can't have that, and have to point fingers at others.

Massive projection is what it is.

"Captain America", even as a fictitious character, is the antithesis of the statist liberal.
