This wasnt one of those Dave Chapelle comedy specials, this was more of discussion or airing his opinion on current events, which he is very entitled to.
But when it gets political black people get emotional.

Why this so called BLM is a major concern to me is that this movement that has been hijacked by political elites (which the majority of the blacks fail to see) is that it may change the movie and entertainment industry as we know it.

Just yesterday Marvel came out to apologize about one its comics, what was their crime? there erected a statue of Capt America, can you see how ridiculous this is?

If you are popular actor or director and you say "All Lives Matter" just get ready for the mob to burn your house down.

Now may be a very bad time to make movies with a white person as a lead character. Imagine those useless white celebrities making a stupid video "I take responsibility" in their mansions.

Now we cant watch movies like 300 in peace because it only features the "white supremacist".

Yesterday you could imagine a Man City spanish defender that had a nasty collision with his goal keeper was fighting for life on the pitch wearing a "black lives matter" number - the irony.

That is the reality of this situation.

I remember a week or 2 ago when a white female moderator made a post supporting Black Lives Matter(after the George Floyd death and ongoing saga)in my DC group on Facebook. If you see the way she was pounced on by the Blacks as if she said a heinous crime.

That Alone will make you understand how complex this issue is.

Koicereloaded was an intelligent reviewer.

I remember discussing some science fiction movies with him.

Mekaprime is trying but he seems to be a low budget koicereloaded, no offense.


There are very few people here that I can discus the intricacies of time travel with on this thread.


Cant wait for TENET 2020 to come out. It is some kind of reverse time travel movie

Time travel is one fascinating topic. I have come to the conclusion that each "time travel" filmmaker though why adhering to the basic tenets of time travel, changes and modifies the concept as he or she seem fit and i think this is possible because time travel as of now is purely hypothetical...taking example from my recent time travel watch...Dark (German Series) and Avengers: End game.


Avengers:End game completely threw caution to the wind in their concept of time travel, I know to a certain degree you can't travel back in time to change the future you just came from without dire consequences (Ironman dieing from snapping that gauntlet was as a result of choice and not time travel)....i maybe right or wrong

"Dark"...i fully subscribe to the filmmakers school of thought about time travel..in the entire series thus far, no character who has travelled back in time has been able to change the present they just came from or the future thus far tho since the 3rd and final season is coming out on the 27th of June..some concepts in the series gave me cause to think....like "God is time, and Time is not merciful" and the day you are born is the day your time starts counting, and time won't wait, it goes on and on till the person dies, so finding a way to control time means literally having your own destiny in your hands, one can go back and forth and not be a slave to time, they also mentioned "bootstrap paradox" wherein nothing is really created, since the thing already exists in the future, things just arrive from the future to the past to become themselves ( this is so intricate and has many equations to support).


However, with Christopher Nolan not only a passionate filmmaker but also a very brilliant mind... I can't wait to see his concept of time travel in "TENET"

You said endgame threw caution to the wind?
For someone who claim to be well versed in the concept of time travel, how did the logic behind messing with time in endgame fly over your head?

Avengers Endgame has one of the most relatively plausible concept of time travel in Hollywood.
They didn't go back in time to change the present (hello, Xmen: days of the future past), they went back to retrieve the items used to disrupt their present, travel back to the present and use the items to restore the balance in their present (emphasis on this!) then travel back to the past to return the aforementioned items.


Hulk told war machine who suggested travelling back in time to kill baby Thanos that killing him won't change nothing because the present will only become their past and the future will be their present.
Meaning whatever they have to do, has to be done in the present.



Haven't seen any concept of time travel more straightforward than this and I have seen many.

alexistaiwo:
^^^^^

Avengers Endgame.

Just rewatched again this afternoon and Emperor Thanos words are eternal.


Soldier go soldier come barracks remain.
Though the Avengers left to create their own universe, where did that bring them...... BACK TO US!


We are inevitable!

If you think about it, it's kinda flawed.

They traveled back and got the stones, logically, by returning to their present with the stones the whole Thanus incident should never have happened because the stones wouldn't have existed in that timeline.

Also by returning the stones to the exact places they got them should have negated everything they did, because now Thanus could still get the stones; (I know he was snapped out of existence in the present, but he still exists in the past, so he will continue on his quest to save mankind).

Unless the snap also snapped him out of existence in the past, then we have a bigger problem, because they have now altered the course of history and broken the rule of time travel and that should have severe consequences.

You see, Endgame time travel theory was nothing short of underwhelming, basic and poorly carried out, and they even had the temerity to mock "back to the future's" version when their's wasn't any better.

In other words: you, Madam Ishilove, kendrick9/Lamar and a few others were clamoring for a NEW Thread. FREE of the comic book arguments, political discourse and international affairs analyst and Trolls. You got your NEW THREAD. So why come back to the THREAD filled with Immature people?? Cos last time I checked, THEY are still very much available HERE.

I just can't help but wonder. No offense.


PS: I know say after THIS MY comment na transfer BAN dey wait for ME.

That's what he does, he comes here, drops a post about some obscure movie and proceeds to report posts he deems to be "derailing".

The purpose, of course, is to make it seem like he is a contributor, therefore, jerking off his conscience into a state of blasé comatose.

Na so. Live your life to the fullest, without giving a fvck about anyone else opinions, as far as it's your happiness.

Added to the whole hulabalu was the whole "Gamora" debacle, basic time travelling principle can't "reverse" death, she clearly dies after Thanos sacrifices her for the soul stone in the events of Infinity war in ,2018, but 2014 Gamora returning with Thanos and Nebula in 2023 to wage war against the avengers in Endgame simply doesn't add up.

I hope y'all know i only asked cos man reviews a ton of movies in a day..Im not in cohorts with that other guy

Just me exonerating myself

Lol, nah bro. You were certainly not in mind when I made that comment. We cool bro, no beef.

I too was genuinely wondering how mekaprime finds time to watch lots of Movies. I was about to make a post a few days ago, crying to the THREAD about my inability to find time to watch movies recently.
And hoped to find recommendations on how to get my mojo back, but you help me stated my curiosity, since I was too lazy to type.

Even at that I didn't mean it to come out that aggressive. As I too, I don't really care much for others thoughts who don't think like me. For example I got some friends who question my activity of chatting with you peeps on NL regularly, mostly about movies and other stuff etc. E get one wey get this mentality: wetin no bring you money why you dey engage on am like this. . Lol, in other words he's stylishly telling you you're JOBLESS in an euphemistic way.
The yeye guy still get one annoying comment from am: he says I like movies more than woman. that yeye fowl no go let me get liver fit read comics in public.

Jesus guy

Me i no send anybody o, I dey read my comics anytime I want but people dey talk shaa...

Guy you have made me laugh for real
