The mutants as gays allegory is better than the mutants as blacks allegory (because most can pass for normal and anyone's kid could turn out that way once puberty hits), but it's still a terrible allegory. Mutants are hated and feared because they're fucking powerful.

They're closer to rich people than anything.

I'm pretty sure that "desperately poor" people in 2010 were objectively better off than "desperately poor people" in 1910.

Except rich people aren't oppressed. At worst they're subjects of bitter envy from lower classes and moral criticism from socialists. At best they're celebrated as role models of success.

>>77389195
Because at this point he knows Palpatine absolutely was a Sith and was plotting to perpetuate the war. Windu and the other Jedi haven't done anything evil; they've been protecting themselves and the republic from threats. He knows this. He was there.

What he's actually saying is the Jedi didn't advance him through their ranks fast enough for his liking, that siding with Palpatine helped him to fulfill his goals better, and that nothing he did was actually his fault.

>Only a Sith speak in absolutes!

I can't believe someone didn't slap George because of that. I mean, the whole conversation is just really fucking weird. Anakin is basically saying that the world is subjective, and that he just ended the war and is trying to save his wife's life, and Obiwan flips the fuck out because the first rule of being a jedi is "don't join the dark side". Its just surreal because Obiwan is the one acting out of absolute moral authority while yelling at Anakin that absolutes are absolutely bad.

Sure, the whole conversation is under the light of Anakin's "If you're not with me, you're against me", but you have to remember Obiwan is a leading member of the military brass that just tried to assassinate the Chancelor because he was a Sith. (you know, forget the whole secret leader of the separatists business) It was very much a situation of "look, you need to stand down. There's going to be an investigation in to what part you played in the attemped coup, and you're my friend so I'll do what I can for you, but the Jedi fucked up, big time. If you're innocent, I'll do everything in my power to make sure justice is done."

That's how a rational story would play out. Of course, Anakin takes a hit of Dark Side cocaine and immediately murders some children and chokes his wife, who then dies because she "loses the will to live", because all that characterization of her being a strong, independent woman who fights for what's right is an indication she will just lay down and die when things get rough.

No, the point of that was one of the unifying theme of Century being people's perception of perception of satanic worship. Fictional versions of Crowley are the villain in all three parts of Century, he's Voldermort in the last one. People said Crowley worshiped the Devil in 1910, they said rock and roll was the Devil in the 60s, and they said Harry Potter was the Devil in the 2000s. The central conceit in Century is that they were all right. Sorry that went over your head, even if Moore was a total fucking hypocrite for saying people shouldn't write his Watchman characters while he was himself writing about Harry Potter killing Alan Quartermain with a thunderbolt ejaculation.

Major gun nut organizations don't pitch shitfits when black people have their right to bear arms violated (eg anytime a black person is in trouble or attacked for having a weapon without actually brandishing it whether or not they have one) so why should most of them care about mutants?
People are not inherently logical or free from hypocrisy and you're expecting either from the same people that plan for a random military grade home invasion for the sole purpose of rape/murder as if they're remotely important enough for that.

Because it makes no sense. Nothing the Jedi have done has been evil. The only time they appear dark is when Mace is gonna kill Palpatine because he's too dangerous alive, but under the circumstances he's right. He's the guy running the whole show and is extremely powerful seeing how he was able to go about unnoticed for so long

When Obi Wan says it he means that the man he knew a Anakin Skywalker ended and Vader took his place. when Anakin says it he sounds like a fucking idiot.

Really? On the far-ass end of the world, with no one around to contradict you besides filthy savages, it seems way more likely to me that his own people turned on him and then put the blame on the natives, making sure he was killed so "savagely" that no one would doubt them.

This bit, along with the "I need to save my wife from childbirth!! (in a setting where coma/hypothermia victims can be healed in a tank" will always be the most ridiculous parts of the prequels.

Even if they HAD to feature child massacres, couldn't they have had the clone troopers do it while Vader "turned the other way"/ignored it? That would have fitted his character as it wa sin the OT far more (ie standing back while Tarkin destroys Alderaan, etc)

I don't understand why Lucas got away with this plot point. It's so fucking stupid even a child watching the movies would point it out. It's so easy to fix too, just say instead of her dying in childbirth she dies in a premonition of an accident somewhere. Anakin goes nuts trying to keep her safe but the premonitions keep getting stronger and stronger so he becomes desperate and turns to the dark side for help. Then DUN DUN DUN his darkside edgyness is what causes the accident in the first place. It's babbys first plot twist, but infinitely better than the bullshit we got.

Lucas must have surrounded himself with the most shameless ass kissing yes men he could find.

Also Anakin's fall makes no sense. "Whoops, just got tricked into killing Mace Windu. Guess I'm a child-killing ragemonster now."

He accidentally does an evil act and then becomes evil from it when it should have been the other way around.
>>

>>77393550
The entire movie should have been written around Anakin being seduced by the darkside.

Instead he instantly turns in the last half hour so we can have a 15 minute CGI lightsaber battle.

I think it would've been better if Anakin was slowly getting more annoyed by the jedi's tactics, and near the 2/3 mark, something happens, like a CIS general is on the ground gloating about how many he's killed, but Anakin can't kill him because jedi reasons, the guy fatally shoots Padme with a hidden blaster, and that pushes him to the dark side. He kills the guy, then when Obi Wan chastises him, his frustration finally does it.
>>

It's funny: right now pedophiles are chemically castrated to protect people from their "deviancy" just as gays were decades ago. Pedophiles are often the subject of mob justice, just as gays were decades ago. Known pedophiles are socially and employmentally outcasted, just as gays were decades ago. The subject of pedophilia was utterly taboo and would rarely be treated with openmindedness, just as it was decades ago with the subject of homosexuality.

In many cases, the slippery slope is not a fallacy.

I hope not, but the patterns are there. Gays had their own NAMBLA, understanding of human psychology changed which made us start to think that gays aren't mentally ill and there's nothing wrong with it.

This shit with Lena Dunham is a precursor. Bitch straight up admitted she used to sexually molest her younger sibling and at the age of 16 would to masturbate in front of her and make her watch, and she's a celebrity that people defend.

No, that's just the Women are Wonderful effect at play.

The in-universe reason is probably that he didn't want to put her in danger anymore.

it's illogical for two simple reasons, it assumes anyone who wants stricter gun laws wants a full out ban on all firearms and confiscation and destruction of all firearms (no gun law proposal in the last I'd say 30 years has even come near this, and it's an absurd slippery slop argument that extreme right wingers use as one of their only arguments against stricter gun laws.)

second it assumes if you are a second amendment supporter in any way you must be opposed to any new and stricter gun laws.

>these are "with us or against us" logical fallacies.

you can clearly be ok with the second amendment and support very strict gun laws, and you can clearly want very strict gun laws and be opposed to gun confiscation and destruction by the government.

Most of the proposed gun laws in the last few years have only attempted to close loopholes and give law enforcement more tools to keep or take guns away from felons. The only people this 'hurts' are gun manufacturers, so it's no surprise that their lobbyist and the NRA are deeply opposed to them.

Well, Frank does have a point. It's not that the Viet Cong were worse than Nazis (they absolutely weren't), but that it was much worse for the US troops than WWII was. Couple reasons being:

>A huge chunk of the US troops did not actually believe in the cause they were fighting for.
>When the war was over, the troops were vilified and hated instead of celebrated like in WWII.
