[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;51874371]Yeah, that struck me as weird the very first time I saw it. The movie series that kicks off with someone accidentally almost killing someone and who's frequently stated that she may never have contact or intimacy of any kind also has a character say there's nothing wrong with her with a completely straight face. Was there really nobody on set who saw anything wrong with that line?[/QUOTE]
Because the whole "mutants are like any other minority" thing falls a part when mutations can kill people where as being black or gay can't. Either you're stuck saying stupid things like "mutants who can't even touch people are perfect just the way they are" or you're Hitler.

Same thing happened in Zootopia. Carnivores and herbivores are just not comparable to being black and white.

Part of the point of Zootropolis is that racism, ironically, isn't a black and white issue. Both the 'oppressors' and the 'oppressed', the majority and the minority, can exploit different 'benefits' and can be just as bigoted as each other. No-one is safe from prejudice, both from within and without.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51874391]No no its not an error, the X-Men are assholes.
Like no joke they're just straight up canonically assholes, in pretty much every continuity.[/QUOTE]
I've always thought that they missed a golden opportunity by making the villains so clearly evil. It would be very easy to paint someone like Magneto as a sympathetic villain rather than someone just out for revenge/world domination, because it's sure as hell hard to sympathize with a bunch of cunts.
Content.

Such a shame that Switch games don't taste good.

Magneto is a sympathetic villain, he's a Jew that survived the Holocaust and wants to make sure that a similar situation never happens to mutants. He was based off of Malcolm X and Professor X was based off of MLK.

Also it's a kid's film about an anthropomorphic rabbit becoming a police officer so you can probably afford to not look at it like it's the next To Kill a Mockingbird.

Do people learning English see this shit and legitimately wonder whether it's slang or a real word?

They = their; but only sometimes
done = have
talm = talking about

this is why everyone hates us
