Thanks to this thread, every time I'm at the grocery store or Target, I'll find myself looking at the Hot Wheels for about 2 minutes. Then I'll snap out of it and realize I don't know what the I'm even looking at and keep going. I'm still entertained by what you guys find, though!

Can’t help ya with that but I just had a submission of 20 modern slow graded and shipped in 3 business days so might be a good idea to skip the fast track in the future.

That’s annoying.

Shipped 4/18 Ridiculously fast. Going to not look at grades until they arrive so hopefully that speed didn’t come at a cost.

Yeah - I was just over the threshold on ground. Reached out and they dropped it to $50, which is amazing.

You ding dongs are such rad encyclopedias. Really appreciate you all.

Modern slow: Received: 4/12/23 GEI: 4/14/23

Maybe. At about $1500.

All kidding aside, get off the YouTube algorithm train you’re on and touch some grass. Seriously. The direction you’re headed is not going to end well for you or the people that love you. I’m seriously rooting for you. Sorry you’re going through it.

you say “females” when taking about women, don’t you?

That's a big maybe and maybe not. There's definitely a LOUD group that is thoroughly against it - for whatever reason. I'd wager just by changing demographics that the loud group is in the minority but again - It's completely unquantifiable and we're all operating on our own hunches. As a goof, here's some numbers for total gross box office over the last 20 years. I'd say making any kind of proclamation from the last 4 years is a total fools errand.

Obviously neither of us can truly quantify our positions but I'd say the majority are not watching Marvel movies because they're bad - not because of any rejection of diversity. Microchip is ranting against an ideology while wearing his on his sleeve. It's peak Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man.

BINGO! They're making BAD movies. That has nothing to do with diversity. If you removed whatever it is that these others are finding so frustrating and just judged these things on their merits, they're not good.

Comparing a position who has 75+ lives in their hands at any moment to someone who makes a movie is PEAK person who says M-She-U. Got any more scorching takes or did that last one singe your goatee off?

I'm not reading this tome of terrible takes but I'll go ahead and add mine: You know what the agenda is with inclusivity and diversity? MONEY. It's not some hand wringing cabal - It's shrewd people who know that when viewers see people that look like themselves in media, they're more likely to participate in said media. It's really that simple. If you think it's more conspiratorial than that, you're near sighted. And I should add: It's a good thing! You know what people need WAYYYYY more of? Exposure to things that are unfamiliar to them - even if those exposures can be corny.

MEGA yikes.

If you are disturbed by "shoehorning diversity", you almost certainly have a goatee.

So what am I missing about shipping on CL? Is express and overnight the only two options? $115 to ship 7 books is beyond stupid.

I don't think that the MCU has ever made good movies. They've been fun and entertaining but these things aren't exactly high cinema. That being said, I re-watched Infinity War a few weeks ago and it's pretty bad. It has all the same awful tropes that the new phases have. However, it was a huge wrap up of years of fun movies that almost everyone was stoked to see. As someone else said - it was an event. There was a newness to the shared universe and it's just lost its luster. I don't think it's much deeper than that. Some of yall are acting like these were ever well told stories.

Finally watched it 2 weeks ago. It felt like there were 3 movies going on at once and it was edited in a way that none of them worked. Every time Gorr was onscreen, I was in. Most of the other times? Eh. The whole movie boils down to loss, grief, and how to mourn and move on but with screaming goats. I love Taika but he was all over the place here.

Damn. Didn't even know there was a show and I actually had the time to go last weekend. Great pulls!

I was all in when I thought it'd be under 2k. Then it went for dumbbb money.

Could you provide some examples of what you mean?

I will say that C Kayfabe is probably THE best comic channel on YT - if not in the top 3. if y’all are mining for content here, sup nerds?
