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.
Agreed. I like movies that give me something to think about. Superhero movies don't give me anything except "Who will this guy punch next?"
Scorsese said they were bollocks about 5 years ago
Last year he won an Oscar, who the fuck gives a shit about the latest MCU movie today.

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!
Pizza is an open faced sandwich that gets cooked quickly. It's not special and the process is done in other places in other ways but for some reason people hold onto stuff so tightly.
That being said turkey dinner pizza. Turkey slices and gravy, dollops of potatoes and some cheddar cheese. Hell yeah.

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 ;)
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.

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

The first two should be switched.
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 ;)
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!
Super hero movies are literally for children. I think they're dumb but I'm also old as fuck.

I have a very strong suspicion that most people hate pineapple on pizza because they don't have the genetics to counteract the enzymes in the pineapple. It is hard to like a pizza that actively hurts you to eat. I'll also say that most hawaiian pizza that I've had, is horrible and sucks, no in terms of conceptual shortcomings, but just in terms of ingredient quality. They use precooked sliced lunch meat style ham, most of the time, and like, cold uncooked pineapple. The pineapple should be grilled, and the ham should be fried, I would think. Cooking the pineapple helps to cut down on some of the water content that ends up making the pizza cold and soggy, and cooking also helps to break down the enzymes that hurt your mouth.
The billionaire take is less of a hot take than the pineapple on pizza take. I think it's kinda cause "the billionaire class" is something that people can more easily stick faces to, they've become more notable celebrities with the rise of silicon valley tech genius idiots. If you got rid of elon musk and jeff bezos, and maybe bill gates, I think like, a lot of the negative publicity against billionaires would evaporate overnight.
Lots of people are opposed more to the amount of brainspace they take up, and the lack of results they show, rather than being opposed to the idea of billionaires themselves, or, being opposed to the idea of capital, and capitalists. I get the sense that a lot of people would be perfectly fine with elon musk if he was investing in like, big public works projects and not stupid tunnels for his electric cars. I've seen quite a lot of people that just kinda hate the idea of someone having a billion dollars, just generally, kind of, in the way that you hate someone who dresses too ostentatiously, rather than having a more specific reason they hate them.
I don't really like superhero movies as much as I like their animated counterparts. Teen titans, justice league, batman: the animated series, batman beyond, static shock, almost all the spiderman animated shows but especially spectacular spider man, avengers: earth's mightiest heroes, the old silver surfer cartoon, the old X-Men animated series. Some of them are pretty good.
I think also a lot of people tend to hate superhero movies on the basis that they're like. Pretentious twatbags. They can't enjoy a campy, schlocky kind of movie, they have to watch something "good", something that conforms to conventional definitions of "good". Never could they enjoy watching mean girls. Lots of superhero movies, basically all of them to some degree, fall into the camp. Like blade, the original spiderman trilogy. Even marvel is kind of, one foot in the schlock and the cheese, and one foot in the "trying to be serious cinema with serious emotional stakes", and they don't always juggle it correctly.

I can agree with the last take, if it's specifically live action superhero movies. Doesn't matter whether it's DC or Marvel, I just don't like live action superhero movies. Give me, say, Batman The Animated Series or Teen Titans or Static Shock over any live action adaptation any day.
