None of these are hot takes lol.
ayo did you remove your own vote how are you at zero.
Yes. I think it is a conflict of interest to upvote my own post. Of course I think I contribute to the conversation, but that is not for me to decide.
Everybody’s vote total is defaulted to 1. Nobody upvotes themselves. Removing your vote just makes it less likely people will see your comment.
Everyone’s posts are upvoted by themselves by default, so by retiring your upvotes from your posts, you are, in practice, removing visibility from your posts, thus handicapping them, rather than giving them a fair shot.
I rely on the Gs who sort by new.
You downvote the default score in order not to do something you never did?
I remove the upvote, not downvote.
These takes are colder than my dead mother.
I can’t stand super hero movies either. They’re all the same story. What’s the appeal? I don’t get it.
When the early superman and batman movies came out, they were great. Even the first ironman was great for the time…the problem is they have been mass producing the same movie every year for the last 13? years.
Which Superman movies?
C.R.
Ok, I’m with you.

B.R?
Yeah that one was alright too. Wasn’t really groundbreaking though like that first Supe one was, though
The early ones.
Like, Superman and the Mole Men, with George Reeves?
Agreed. I like movies that give me something to think about. Superhero movies don’t give me anything except “Who will this guy punch next?”
Scorsese said they were bollocks about 5 years ago
Last year he won an Oscar, who the fuck gives a shit about the latest MCU movie today.
He said right before releasing The Irishman
Mouse’s first 2 responses should be switched
The billionaire class aren’t “ghouls” leaching off society. They are leeches leaching off society. The term parasites will also suffice.
Also… the super-creep genre is shit.
I guess they leech, rather than leach. Leech off, leach out. I think that’s right.
Unlike billionaires, some parasites are beneficial to humanity (there’s a species of wasp that lays its eggs in plant-destroying caterpillars, and leeches can be used as bait while fishing).
I’m okay with using billionaires for chum.
I identify with everything Mouse said 🔥
hell yes that mouse is based as hell
Pineapple by itself on Pizza isn’t very good - too sweet and bland. The original popularity was for the combination with ham: salty and sweet
A much better take is pineapple and Gorgonzola!
A Hawaiian pizza with jalapeno is my go to
If it’s Hawaiian, shouldn’t that be Spam and pineapple? I’m generally not a fan of Spam, but I may have to try that combo sometime.

I can agree with the last take, if it’s specifically live action superhero movies. Doesn’t matter whether it’s DC or Marvel, I just don’t like live action superhero movies. Give me, say, Batman The Animated Series or Teen Titans or Static Shock over any live action adaptation any day.
People who don’t like superhero movies: “I don’t like superhero movies”.
Everyone else: “that’s a fair and valid opinion.”
I have a very strong suspicion that most people hate pineapple on pizza because they don’t have the genetics to counteract the enzymes in the pineapple. It is hard to like a pizza that actively hurts you to eat. I’ll also say that most hawaiian pizza that I’ve had, is horrible and sucks, no in terms of conceptual shortcomings, but just in terms of ingredient quality. They use precooked sliced lunch meat style ham, most of the time, and like, cold uncooked pineapple. The pineapple should be grilled, and the ham should be fried, I would think. Cooking the pineapple helps to cut down on some of the water content that ends up making the pizza cold and soggy, and cooking also helps to break down the enzymes that hurt your mouth.
The billionaire take is less of a hot take than the pineapple on pizza take. I think it’s kinda cause “the billionaire class” is something that people can more easily stick faces to, they’ve become more notable celebrities with the rise of silicon valley tech genius idiots. If you got rid of elon musk and jeff bezos, and maybe bill gates, I think like, a lot of the negative publicity against billionaires would evaporate overnight.
Lots of people are opposed more to the amount of brainspace they take up, and the lack of results they show, rather than being opposed to the idea of billionaires themselves, or, being opposed to the idea of capital, and capitalists. I get the sense that a lot of people would be perfectly fine with elon musk if he was investing in like, big public works projects and not stupid tunnels for his electric cars. I’ve seen quite a lot of people that just kinda hate the idea of someone having a billion dollars, just generally, kind of, in the way that you hate someone who dresses too ostentatiously, rather than having a more specific reason they hate them.
I don’t really like superhero movies as much as I like their animated counterparts. Teen titans, justice league, batman: the animated series, batman beyond, static shock, almost all the spiderman animated shows but especially spectacular spider man, avengers: earth’s mightiest heroes, the old silver surfer cartoon, the old X-Men animated series. Some of them are pretty good.
I think also a lot of people tend to hate superhero movies on the basis that they’re like. Pretentious twatbags. They can’t enjoy a campy, schlocky kind of movie, they have to watch something “good”, something that conforms to conventional definitions of “good”. Never could they enjoy watching mean girls. Lots of superhero movies, basically all of them to some degree, fall into the camp. Like blade, the original spiderman trilogy. Even marvel is kind of, one foot in the schlock and the cheese, and one foot in the “trying to be serious cinema with serious emotional stakes”, and they don’t always juggle it correctly.
For me it’s just that it’s not very good. I like a vinegary, salty, and savory pizza and don’t like sweetness on it.
I wonder if some sort of pickled pineapple might work better for most people
That sounds like it might be worse. Idk I just like my banana peppers, onions, mushrooms, and anchovies
Super hero movies are literally for children. I think they’re dumb but I’m also old as fuck.
I may be even older but I still have a dream. I still like impossible action scenes. I still like a story where the protagonist can go beyond what is humanly possible.
The problem with superhero movies is when they think that is sufficient and don’t bother with plot, character development, or even consistency. I’m fine for the duration of the movie with suspension of disbelief for magic or however is explained, as long as they are consistent with it, follow their own explanation. Then again, I also like Micheal Bay movies, so whatever
I don’t watch 'em either…
AND I’M17!
