The Captain America thing where a bullied nerd would handle superpowers with more morality than alpha humans was silly.
The reality is what we see today. Petty little shits lording any scrap of power they get over whoever is different from them
I would say that Steve Rogers was not a bullied nerd. He had an alpha personality, just not the body to go along with it. He had a winner mindset, instead of the typical "chip on the shoulder" thing.
The Superpowers just allowed him to be physically a superhero.
Before he was given super strength he jumped on the grenade that he thought was live while everyone else fled. His mindset was the only thing that didn't change about him.
Correct. The guy you're replying to is retarded enough to miss something that was explicitly stated multiple times (because retards wouldn't get it otherwise)
He missed the mark a bit on the subject of Steve Rogers’ mindset/character, fair enough. But I don’t think the point he was trying to make is all that retarded.
There’s also a scene in the film where Stanly Tucci says something along the lines of, “a strong man would simply take this power for granted, but a weak man would understand the value of this power…”
I would agree that statements like the one above have proven to be complete bullshit in recent years. Half the world is collapsing right now because weak men got their hands on too much power.
Those two Batman Beyond episodes where the bullied dweeb got power and used them for petty revenge will always be relevant. Both times he wasted them, and by extension his life, by attempting to murder the asshole jock.
People forget how important bullying is. It’s how societal norms are enforced onto people as they grow up. I’m thankful as fuck I got the shit bullied out of me growing up so that I could actually not be a cringeworthy human being.
Unfortunately the only bullying going on nowadays is brown people beating up whites and troons bullying children into taking puberty blockers.
And blocking too. Reddit’s user blocking mechanism lets you reply to someone, then block them, and they see your reply but can’t reply back. It is specifically designed to let petty people who can’t defend their ideas get the last word (i.e. let the dumb ideas persist unrebutted)
I’m not positive it it is still that way, but way back when there was TheDonald.win and nothing else it worked like that here. I was arguing with someone about the dangers of modern online “stealth” censorship versus old school print censorship from the Soviet type days. They tried to pull some sort of smack down argument on me and block me, and I wasn’t allowed a retort. I actually discussed with the admin but and he’d talked about changing, but I’ve never tested again. Most people on these forums aren’t such pussies to use it anyway.

You don't say. These people get a high off banning people.

Interesting. I just now noticed there even is a block feature here
