MODERATORS
ayo did you remove your own vote how are you at zero.
Maybe they're just not very confident about their posts.
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.

Yeah, at least online these are all very common opinions. I think the pineapple on pizza opinion is actually the most controversial take he listed.
Pineapple on pizza is just people with different tastes. Everyone has their favorite foods and what they dont like...

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.

Easy to digest. It’s like the McDonald’s of movies. It’s certainly not the best culinary experience you can get, but at least it will please most people.
Mmm... Some have been almost exactly the right film for the right time were very satisfying. It's easy to say they are all simple and basic after it's been a decade and they have printed out a hundred clones that all are the same but some truly were impressive.
I still think the reverse hero's journey following the villain complete the arc to confuse the pathos of Infinity War was pretty sweet way to avoid the bloated cast.
And Iron Man was a great take on a flawed character that had a really great arc considering you are pretty much always meant to hate him a little and it was perfect casting.
But now casting is done by who needs the press and who can bid the highest and it's pretty much all garbage. But a decade ago... It was like getting an original McDonald's burger and fries from 2 brothers who liked good burgers.

Sometimes they are far from the same movie and have expert cinematography. Being a superhero movie doesn't automatically make something more prone to formula.

Mouse's first 2 responses should be switched
There's a lot of billionaire dick riders out there, man. Lemmy and even Reddit are kind of weird places on that topic.
I'm eating pineapple on pizza right now!
BBQ chicken, pineapple, green pepper, BBQ sauce base.
Somewhere in Italy, a collective groan was heard.
It seems like people base their entire personalities on hating pineapple pizza lol
Pretty much anything can go on pizza. It's bread, cheese, and sauce....all of which can be modified to match the topping. Mashed potatoes + white sauce is an incredible combo
If those people who hate on pineapple pizza saw the pizze I prepare, they'd scream bloody murder. Let's see...
- Chocolate, shredded coconut, strawberries, mozzarella. No sauce.
- Mango and kielbasa krakowska.
- Beef stroganoff, including straw potatoes. It gets two sauces.
- pinhão/piñón pizza. It's a starchy local pine kernel, certainly not found in Italy. (Or outside my homeland for all that matters.) It's carb over carb.
- pizze bianche in general. Some folks in my family simply like them!

It's such a stupid hill to die on.
That's one of my favorite pizzas. Try it with banana peppers instead of bell peppers for even more zing, or swap the chicken for meatballs as a tasty variation.
I also like adding bacon, but my arteries don't like it as much ;)
I'm still cool with super hero films. What I am getting sick of is seeing the origin stories a dozen times as they reboot shit constantly. I want new stories; not the same story told a hundred different ways. That's why I like the MCU stuff. They actually continued most of it without doing a ton of origin stuff all the time.
I occasionally listen to a podcast that reviews basically any and all movies that are adapted from comics and they take their name from the exact issue you mentioned, Not Another Origin Story. I guess it shows that even among the people that really enjoy and are passionate about superhero movies constantly redoing the origin is a tired act.

I identify with everything Mouse said 🔥
hell yes that mouse is based as hell
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.

The first two should be switched.
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!
Pineapple only if it is accompanied with jalapenos.
There's a local pizza spot that has that with BBQ pulled pork. Far and away the best "Hawaiian" pizza I've ever had

One of these things is not like the others
(two being personal opinions based on taste, the other being a simple statement of fact)
Fact: pineapple is great on pizza ;)
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
