I had two solid ideas for a wrestling post
|
I had two solid ideas for a wrestling post But no one likes those . Marvel DOT COM had their annual super-people showdown bracket as they do every year (yeah we know idiot that's what annual means) and as every year it was a travesty . I don't know why the people who make this thing bother to include "deep cut" comic book characters that the mainstream bozos who cast the majority of votes have never heard . Obviously it does nothing for said bozos and it infuriates their hardcore fanbase . I mean in what world is Jean Grey going to defeat Machine Man ? But she's been in the X-men movies (one of which was kind of okay) so she gets the votes . And do NOT even get my started on Hulk defeating Eternity . Just like actual democracy the people who know what they're talking about are drowned in a sea of ignorance . And that's the way we want it , well we get it . Anyway Spider-Man won has he does almost every year . I have never really understood the appeal of the Spider-Man . He checks off several of my "dealbreakers" right off the bat 1. protagonist (he's in HS you know) 2. Allegedly funny guy who never says anything funny 3. Allegedly smart guy who always does stupid things to give them a little bit of a pass on #3 because it's hard to create drama and move a story forward when characters don't make horrible decisions all the time . But still that's too much of a hill to climb . Plus I don't like how people talk about Spider-Man being an allegory for puberty which includes (or course) talking about how the webs are him spooging all over the place . Plus his main "power" the so called Spidey-Sense (if it can so be called) is lame . First of all its not very cinematic you know ? You don't see anything , he just senses . . . . well it's not clear exactly what he senses . Danger ? Maybe . Trouble ? Perhaps . Wormholes ? Yeah , one time . Plus there were times when the Spider-Man had in print no fewer than SIX monthly titles . Amazing Spider-Man , Spectacular Spider-Man , Spider-Man 2099 , Ultimate Spider-Man , Astonishing Spider-Man & Peter Parker Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man . It's too much I say ! Plus the movies were lame until Homecoming . Not even the presence of Kirsten Dunst could save those steaming piles . And Andrew Garfield ? Don't make me laugh . And yet those first 5 terrible movies made 4 BILLION dollars . So clearly people like the Spider-Man . But why ? One of the few things I do like about the Spider-Man is that much like Superman he's actually a terrible fighter . He has super strength and agility so it usually doesn't matter but whenever he runs into some with similar physical abilities he usually gets his ass kicked - because why wouldn't he ? He doesn't have any training , he's just a dude swinging around on jizz-ropes . His villains are kind of weak too . I mean the Vulture ? And dude who flies and that's it ? A guy with a fishbowl on his head ? The Shocker ? He seems more like a villain for Spider- if you know what I mean . Sandman ? 88 different versions of a guy on a flying skateboard throwing pumpkins ? I mean what the hell is going on here ? And don't even get me started on all that symbiote nonsense OR the clone saga OR the brain switching with Dr. Octopus . I mean is this a comic book or a soap opera ? They're more or less the same thing actually , only one has people boning and the other one has shit blowing up . I will admit (grudgingly) that the Spider-Man was revolutionary in his time for depicting a comic book hero whose life didn't get better after receiving super-powers - if anything , his life got more problematic as he was essentially robbed off of his youth by being saddled with poverty , responsibilities and his superhero work . Peter Parker is perpetually living paycheck-to-paycheck , his heroing is detrimental to his personal life , he constantly battles super-powered killers that he's secretly terrified of , lacks guidance and support , and he rarely , if ever , gets a "thank you" for all of the sacrifices he performs . The temptation of quitting is forever in the back of his mind , but the guilt he feels over his uncle's death will never allow him to do so. In other news did you know all those "I am not a robot" things are actually used by google to train their robots ? I didn't . It is a security thing but that's secondary to the goal of collecting tons and tons and tons of data they can feed to their robots to help them learn - which is why a lot of them are about picking out cars or bikes or street signs because right now they're mainly using it to for autonomous automobile programs . In the IT world a lot of people are VERY upset about this kind of thing - they're using us to make money without paying us ! Yeah , welcome to the world champ . The IT world is an interesting one to come into after having been elsewhere - there's a lot of IT people that are really into what they think of as civil rights . It cycles though being thought-provoking , amusing and scary . In conclusion I hear Infinity War is going to be on Netflix soon . Putting first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first. |

Wait , what , no one likes my superhero posts either ?! Why do people come here ? Putting clients first by putting employees first, immediately after prioritizing fiscal responsibilities and leveraging profitability towards exceeding by empowering our employees to put clients (and themselves) first, in a diverse and respectful environment of only those that come first, first.

I like your superhero posts much, much better than wrestling! After all, I'm the woman with a baby Groot bobblehead in her bathroom. I need to see Infinity War again cuz I don't remember who got 'halved' by Thanos. Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Are you talking about the “capchas”? Where you have to pick out a sequence of characters and they’re all tilted and distorted?
