If he's saying the movie is supporting eugenics and all that shit, Then he is an idiot, did he forget that its the bad guys who were always doing that similar type of shit? or is he saying that the us government is exactly like trask in this movie (or at least we can guess that depending on how faithful this adaptation is) ? Thats just by freaking coincidence and he's taking a fun summer movie and turning into a [frick]ing propaganda piece no matter what point he is trying to make here he sounds like an idiot

Sad thing is that people will ignore how closely it related to common issues within our society and claim it as being a flop...smh lol

Wow. I was kinda impressed to see this article. These themes have been at the center of the Marvel World for sometime. From Days of Future Past to Civil War, we as Marvel fans have been warned of government intervention in civil affairs. The underlying keynotes of many philosophical and ethical debates are presented in a disconnected fashion so that we may create our own opinions on the subjects presented. In the US we have seen internment, weapon registration, and other abuses of civil liberties. Marvel has given us tools to recognize such injustices and stands as the reason that I personally stay aware of what is happening in government and can recognize when things go awry. It is pretty awesome to see this address in this forum.

I feel dumber for watching that tripe...ppl will believe anything the glowing glass says...ppl [frick]ing love Alex jones for some odd reason...this article takes a true social commentary that was made by the story arc writers and have perverted it into saying your goverent is going to spend 700million on hardware/software to record you when it's already done by "slaving" out the cameras on laptops and fugkin game consoles(it's not hard, apparently)..or that MY gov is going to kill everybody with stun baton helicopter drones......fugkin reactionary bullshit....I guess since Xmen movie rights are owned by (sly)fox and they help push infowars it makes sense they are spinning this instead of/ or in conjunction with winter soldiers "NWO" themes and such....I fugkin hate American media sometimes
