I just beat this game, I remember seeing another discussion thread about this game but I can't find it, but I want to talk about the game, full spoilers.
183 posts and 44 image replies omitted.>>36986>Iron Man made basically unlimited clean energyIIRC he kept the best of his tech for himself due to his mistrust of others with his gadgets. I imagine the Stark company is a lot like most IRL Silicon Valley startups where they'll show off a demo version of some invention and then never follow up on it
>Thor proves that gods/aliens are realDoesn't the US govt cover up Thor's arrival? That said, the NYC invasion in Avengers 1 most certainly is
not covered up, and makes aliens & Norse gods very much public information, so your point still stands. And then later on Thor pretty much settles down in Norway and instead of it becoming a place of religious reverence or theological research it's just a tourist destination lmao
>In a Captain America movie a clandestine US government agency (under the control of an even more secret society of super nazis) was revealed to have made a giant execution platform for the sole purpose of executing political dissidentsThis one is really egregious because the movie makes a huge point about how the ABC agencies and the US MIC overall are modern day fascism, up to the point where US carrier ships are almost used to murder millions of people and terrorize the rest into submission…and then in the very next movie, those same carriers are used for a heroic rescue in Eastern Europestan, with the victim of a US bombing attack saying "I guess [the agency filled with literal Nazis] isn't so bad after all!"
To the MCU's credit, the Avengers do spend more movies hunting down the remnants of Hydra, so it's not like that plot point didn't completely disappear from the world.
>Then you have Endgame or whatever and, what, a full half the population just disappears in a puff of smoke? That's apocalyptic, but you watch Spiderman or whatever and nothing's really changed.This is the worst one for me. I've always said Endgame is one of the worst MCU movies, and this is a big reason for it. Thanos's plan is so horrifically bad and should've been enough to destroy countless civilizations, but all that happens is a handful of people are sad and NYC is a bit desaturated. It comes off as though the screenwriters are misanthropists who actually think Thanos's plan would work, but is bad only because people would die. And that is not the type of message that needs to be sent as climate change gets worse and worse.
>just putting the people back isn't going to undo the total shakeup of every single aspect of a person's life.The MCU does try to follow this a good bit, but only from the perspective of the heroes and how it personally affected them. Very little is actually done about the economic & political impact of Thanos's snap story-wise (except for that Falcon & Winter Soldier show, which wasn't very good).
>>37393>Kim Kitsuragi -"No. We are stooges of the world's biggest bourgeois organization – protecting the people of Revachol. That's the hand we were dealt. Without the MI, we would be common vigilantes."< Harry du Bois: (Turn to Kim.) "So when I said I was a lackey of capital, what I should have said is that I'm a Moralintern bitch?">Kim Kitsuragi - "Doing one's job doesn't automatically make one anyone's *bitch*. Besides, there are more nefarious powers to work for than the Moralintern."Kim has the most moralist political view, he is literally a cop, and he doesn't appear in the final espirit des corpes moment, so there is no confirmation he was conscripted in the possible "revachol revolution" after the game.
But he is also responsible, kind, extremely competent and selfless. Wearing his jacket TM doesn't make you into that. You can wear a Jesus TM christ TM, that won't make you into Jesus.
<The Deserter - "Everything is brands with you individualists… Who cares what *brand* my shoes are? Sansa…" He looks at his running shoes, covered in mud. "Some shit." >>37443The anarchist wrecker cunt is in there.
Doomed to fail.
>>37416>there is an annoying amount of times DuBious critfails a rhetoric and just says something racist, which really sucks because kimmy just accepts it instead of beating him up ;_;He does pure go into you if you fail at the rave, but yea.
>>37472>I'm playing Project Zomboid right now.Just play Catacylsm:DDA instead of it's inferior youtube bait version.
>>37553>>37552I found it interesting. Gave me hope for hte project they're up to, he seems to think they'll win in court. Genuinely nice guy.
I also appreciates the care the host takes around the obvious issue of the ZAUM fallout, think he's been really good in general even though to begin with i didn't think i'd listen to such a niche podcast.
>>37553>Happy 5th anniversary to Disco ElysiumHappy Aniversary!
>>37560we still might get it, anon.
