Alan Moore outdoes Scorsese in his hatred for superhero movies

[Malaky]

So you have a problem with conflict theories in general or just this particular one you clearly know absolutely nothing about?

Only those that see nothing but power hierarchies and pitting groups against each other.

Yeah, I get that most people's opposition to discussion of class narratives is that it's confrontational.
That's the point that Moore is making. Modern big budget superhero movies present a narrative that is ultimately favorable to the present elite and the status quo because the capital to fund these projects is almost exclusively held in the hands of the elite.

Modern big budget superhero movies present a narrative that is ultimately favorable to the present cabal, because the capital to fund these projects is almost exclusively held in the hands of the witches.

This is what I see when reading stuff like this.

Alternatively, modern big budget superhero movies present a narrative that people enjoy. Because others were tried and failed.
And so that's where the money's going.
Because you know, movies are ultimately for entertainment, not narrative or politics.

Somehow I'm not surprised a thread attacking manchildren wasn't well received on a website full of manchildren.

I'm the Socrates of this website. Right now I'm spreading the good word of reason. When the election starts up you guys are gonna put me on trial and I'm gonna drink hemlock instead of admitting that I'm wrong.

It's good to hear that you're prepared.

Alan Moore and the Watchmen are very overrated in my opinion.

He's entitled to his views of course, but he sort of reminds me of the crazy, leftist vagrants/activists I see wandering around Portland and Seattle sometimes. The whole disheveled, nasty long hair, crusty old hippie looks.

Also, isn't Moore a follower of that wacko/satanist Aleister Crowley's bullshit, Thalema?

[Mormolyce]

I've already learnt enough from the million of deaths the "bourgeous oppressor vs oppressed" theory brought.

Anyone in for that kind of narrative is in for a sick ideology.

Imagine how scared you're going to be when you realise that Marxist thinking influenced pretty much everything beyond that point, including the systems you would consider "capitalist".

Fun fact, Marx even invented the term "capitalism" lol.

Crowley wasn't a Satanist, and no Alan Moore isn't in Thelema as far as I know. He is into the occult though.

They never seem to see the irony.

Although in some cases, I'm sure they're here because it's their job. Gotta earn them turnips.

So you're opposed to... history?

This coming from superhero movie fans is ironic considering defending the likes of james gunn...

Uh...

Making some dumb edgy jokes on twitter is the same as defending a convicted statutory rapist?

Someone's been reading too much nutcase propaganda.

History sees and has more than power hierarchies and pitting groups against each other. Try again.

Like what exactly?

Please explain, I really don't know what you're trying to say here.

I'm saying that power hierarchies and groups pit against each other is not all there is in history and humanity, unlike what certain marxists would believe.

[Kaleredar]

...Every single war ever fought, the Birth of the United States, every rebellion ever, the civil rights movement... literally about power hierarchies and groups fighting against each other.

Are you saying you don't like stories about conflict? Literally every (good) story has a conflict in it.

You just repeated yourself. Please, elaborate.

P.S. How do you know what Marxists believe when you're apparently terrified of the idea of reading anything written by Marxists?

Ideas, not people.

You're going to have to actually explain what you mean here.

Marxism claims that politics is about the conflict between groups in power hierarchies. Which is incorrect, it's about the conflict between ideas.
