Reign of Superman


7/10

Is that the aje pako version?

Because the name of the movie is "The reign of the supermen".


7/10.

MJBOLT:

Black Panther

Wait, are you just watching blacklist panther for the first time?

If your answer is yes, you need to be arrested.

Which strength and how did the psycho kill people?

He only made them see the creatures, and they kill themselves ..
No plot hole there

The psycho killed the bald asshole by ramming him from the railing upstairs to downstairs and then stabbing with a pair of scissors.

The very last second of that scene, the psychos finger was already at the trigger. Watch again.

RedboneSmith:
Er... The better-trained stronger guy apparently managed to wrench the gun from the psycho, turn it and shoot. No one said the one who has the trigger end must be the one who eventually pulls it.

We weren't shown this because, apparently, the movie people wanted a little of suspense even if for a few seconds.

Yes. A psycho that has demonstrated strength already in killing people, lost a 2 handed grip on a gun to an ex soldier who had one hand on the nozzle of the gun.

Note that the psycho had 2 hands on the gun and was few inches away from the trigger.


It's a plot hole

IKON360:
mr Jeromblack, finally God will help you. I really don't know how to address your mentions so I won't address them but just read up on the Rwandan civil war and the CzechoSlovakian civil war. Like you said Nigeria was created from Racism...

Interesting

lol.......I was just tired of explaining with no one truly listening. Also, one of my haters just came back................

KoiceReloaded:
One even said something about tribalism being survival of the fittest. Like what in the actual Bleep?! Lolz.

It pleases me that you came back just to troll me. Your first 2 comments dedicated to me and misconstruing what I said.

I must have really done a number on you. If only Beorn could see this now

Galapagous:
This dude knows nothing about real life, I repeat REAL LIFE

Move along. You think this is Nollywood blood money. I'm talking about a full blown plantation business of slaves.

troubleseller:
1a. I didn't say you were supporting tribalism. It is your statement that tribalism is an evolutionary trend that surprised me. Survival of the fittest was by going to war not people from the Oyo empire buying leather that their tribesmen made and not from the merchants from Sokoto. That was common sense. Tribalism is more than that.
b. LOL. Never said Hitler was tribalist. Was only using your logic to explain that racism was also survival of the fittest which is wrong because survival of the fittest should only come into play when resources are limited. When Hitler was killing Jews, were resources limited? And why are you mentioning the Aryan race? I don't understand.
c. Ok but some of the largest corporations in the world have been and are still controlled by them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_American_businesspeople?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C8440489451
2. That is political classification. By geograpgical classification, Turkey is Europe.
3. How
5. Forget all that grammar. Is Jew a race? That was the question.

Oga, i give up. Lets move on to movies.


Race is a touchy subject for me.

KoiceReloaded:
Hmmm...



It's amusing that you guys don't even realise that tribalism is basically racism, but in a larger scale. Lolz.

Yes because race and tribe are the same construct.

You are so smart

Itzneowizy:
One full page for banter ..no movie reviews, no suggestions ....Oya all of you use the door...

Oga, the year has just started. No good films are out yet

AHCB:
hope you know western education doesn't really produce geniuses?

This same Nigeria education you're bad mouthing has produce people who go abroad to school and excel beyond imagination.

You should know, it is not the education that is the problem, but the individual.

Really?

You do realise that the Nigerian educational system is an outdated version of western education?

The photocopy cannot be clearer than the original.

Yes, we have intelligent people but the educational system in Nigeria limits them. The Nigerians that go on to excel there are just a drop of water in the ocean.


This is not to say that nigeria cannot be better than the west. We can but our culture of fear and inferiority complex will not let us.

Just right here on this thread, we have people mocking what they do not understand. People afraid of change and not learning new things.

troubleseller:
You insulted two people at once but I am not even mad at you. I am actually mad at your philosophy and history teachers who told you that was the origin of tribalism and who also taught you that the justification for tribalism was survival of the fittest. I am also mad at the biology teacher who taught you that an example of Darwin's survival of the fittest theory included tribalism. Don't blame it on the educational system blame it on those your teachers and shed all your tears for them, you hear....

It is frustrating dealing with people who mock what they do not understand.

I have two people who seem not to understand simple explanations. I was explaining why in the past people where tribalistic. I am not supporting or justifying tribalism.

AHCB:
Which Nigeria education do you weep for?

The Nigerian education where-

1. People are not taught their history.

2. People believe that Abraham is a real person that existed (some Nigerians believe that they descended from father Abraham)

3. People do not understand racism

4. That focuses on cramming rather than reasoning

5 That only teaches philosophy as an graduate/undergraduate course in the university

6. That creates illiterate graduates.

troubleseller:
1. Shocking as it is that you called tribalism 'survival', I am going to folo ur reasoning and ask u. Is racism not also 'survival'? Y do u think Hitler wntd to exterminate Jews? Because of their skin colour? No. Because of their commercial prowess. Jews have always bin good merchants and Hitl didn't wnt them to bloom. Look at the world nw. We have the Wozniacks, Zuckerbergs nd even Spielberg. It was a flawed reasoning bt prophetic. Jst search for companies started by Jews. They are the world's best businessmen. Not siding Hitler, jst toeing ur line of reasoning.
2. If by Europeans u mean whites, u are wrong. There are European countries with a lot of ethnic groups. E.g Turkey. Just google ethnic groups of Europe and remember tribe and ethnic groups are the same thing.
3. LOOL. Europeans didn't form their own countries. Countries were made as soverignties hve always bin made, by war and cmptible tribes were not given a country. It's nt the fúckin Berlin Conference. Geographical closeness mde sure after wars, ethnic groups with similar traits stayed together.
4. Knw that the West was developed with the blood and sweat of our ancestors.
5. And middle easterners are caucasians except what I've bin taught abt races is nw obselete.

1. a) It is clear that you do not realise that I am not supporting tribalism. If you do not understand that I was talking about the origin
and the evolutionary advantage that tribalism offered in ancient times, then I suggest you do more reading on tribalism and socio-cultural evolution.

b) Hitler was a racist and not a tribalist. The aryan race. Brush up your history

c) Jews are not the best businessmen in the world. Isreal would have been the richest country but it is not. The top 3 richest people in America or the world arent Jewish.


2) A side-note, Turkey is not in the EU. But Generally, European countries were not ehtnically diverse at their founding. I do not know what you
are on about.


3) Yes, it was Asians, Americans and Africans that drew the borders of Europe and not Europeans.

4) I know that the West was developed with slave labour.

5) It depends on what you are trying to say. If you are speaking with modern meaning of caucasian to mean "white", then middle eastern people do not qualify as caucasian. But if you are using the dated anthropological term, then yes they belong to the caucasian race but under the "hamitic" subrace while white people belong to the sub race of "Nordic"

troubleseller:
My God.

alexistaiwo:
Are you surprised?


I am not.


The guy is allergic to common sense

I weep for Nigerian education. This is what happens when history and philosophy are not taught at an early age.

I was clearly explaining the origins and nature of tribalism before explaining why it is problematic in Nigerias case.


But it seems that I am explaining things to aje pakos who have inferiority complex......


A moment of silence to Nigeria's failed educational system............

troubleseller:
Bruh, don't play the 'we are our brother's keeper' card. You are smarter than that. Brothers have been killing themselves since the beginning of time.

Why is it that people always forget to mention african slave hunters who worked for the white man? Do you know that slave hunting was a despised job in many tribes?

Did some tribes engage in slave trade wholeheartedly? Yes, but they were few.

Did you know that there were tribes who fought against slavery? They were killed by whites.

What is the word for "slave" in yoruba, igbo, hausa etc? I ask this because in my language, there is no word for "slave"- only "servant"

troubleseller:
Bruh, calm down and get the point. You are talking about the scale. Nobody is arguing about the scale with you. We are talking about the parties involved and that's what makes tribalism more mind boggling. In racism, it's between people of virtually different descendants and social status and whatnot but with tribalism.... do I even need to explain that one? You know those involved.
P.S: Are Jews a race though? It is said they descended from Abraham if I am not wrong but was Abraham and his fathers before him not Caucasian?

The bare truth is that tribalism is not that weird at all. It is a natural impulse. After all, why do we mock Ghanians?

Tribalism actually has a purpose. In olden times, it was survival of the fittest. The stronger tribe prevailed.

The Europeans understood this and this is why European countries hardly have more than 2 tribes.

Take the UK for example. The scottish hate the english. The English punished the scottish for years.

========================

The problem with African tribalism is twofold

1. Europeans formed their own countries. Compatible tribes were given a country together. African countries were formed by Europeans who didnt care for our tribes

2. Ignorance and illiteracy. Only ignorant fools still hold tribal grudges. in 2018, we should be looking at making money together. Compare this to Europe where they have high literacy.


===========================

Lastly, Jews are from the middle east. As for Abraham, that guy is a fictional character from the bible.

troubleseller:
Also, remember the slave trade was also facilitated by some of our forefathers who were given mirrors, guns and even salt at that time which were rare items at the time in exchange of their own kin. Guess what TRIBALISM.

Who told you this story? White men? Take a look at your brother/sister/family and then tell me if you will sell them for any amount of money.

Nonsense.

oyetpel:
All of you wey dey abroad always feel they are better then we here and you look down on us.

No....no...no!

Why would I look down on my fellow Nigerians?

Wetin dey abroad sef?

How many Nigerians drive Range Rover abroad? In the UK or USA, the average Nigerian is not rich. Here is where you can make money.

None of the Nigerians that have houses in North London (one of the most expensive areas of real estate in the world) made their money in the UK. They are all ex-politicians and businessmen made in Nigeria.

You can never be rich in another man's country. I know professionals that have gone to london and usa that earn 100,000 dollars a year. With all that money, they cannot drive porsche and ferraris that common yahoo boys are driving here.

oyetpel:
All of you wey dey abroad always feel they are better then we here and you look down on us.

Oyinbo will look down on you over there, tell you to go to your country and look at you like you are a monkey, but you still stay put. Better to be a slave in foreign than be a king in Nigeria, but i can't stand racism so i cry, yin yin yin.

Error!

I am a Nigerian living in Nigeria! I'm black like Guinness extra stout. I lived in Europe when I was younger!

No try am oo! I be Lagos boy.

oyetpel:
Rwanda own na small na, Or she na Biafra own we go talk? Wey Ahmadu Bello said Hausas will rather employ foreigners than employ igbos, before Kaduna Nzeogbu catapulted him to heaven.

Biafra and the other cases of tribalism in Nigeria is a result of racism. Nigeria was never supposed to be a country. How can a country survive with so many tribes? The Europeans understood this but that person called Lord Lugard made Nigeria into one country because he assumed that all african negroes are the same.

To be clear, I don't support Biafra. We have no choice but to work together now.

As for Hausas and the Fulanis, the religion of islam and lack of education makes them very primitive. I am not saying that islam is bad but when one mixes religion with illiteracy, the combination is deadly.

This is why till today, tribalism is worse in the north.

oyetpel:
oh, sorry... I didn't know it will get to you, lol....

the gary guy is injured too, and he will have to use his other hand in other to shoot with the shotgun, by which time the ex military and more powerful Tom would have overpowered him.

Must directors always show everything?

Ehem.......

Watch the scene again, the white guy had both hands on the gun in the next few moments while the black guy only had one..........

The directors wanted us to believe that the black guy died. It was misdirection because the black guy would have died if it were real life.


Check out the pic below.....

IKON360:
personally I think tribalism is worse than racism. Look at the Rwandan civil war for instance, a whole tribe was wiped out husband turned on wife, wife turned on husband, neighbours turned on neighbours, friends betrayed friends. Tribalism is worse, its a painful betrayal.
Racism is very bad, that's why so many international organisations war against it, FIFA, UEFA all war against racism, but there is no intervention for tribalism. The Plateu killings, both now and long ago caused by tribalism. Ibibios discriminate against Igbos, Yorubas discriminate against Igbos, and Igbos feel they are superior to other tribes, abeg tribalism is worse. You can fight racism if the law is on your side, but you can't fight tribalism, whether the law is on your side or not. You just wait for your turn.

Tribalism is worse than racism? A statement spoken by a Nigerian?

This the problem that occurs when
1. People don't know their history
2. People have not experienced real racism.


You do realise that black folks were enslaved for over 300 years by racist Arabs and whites? Your very country is a result of racism. The very tibalism in Nigeria is a result of a racist person called Lord Lugard who assumed that all Nigerian tribes are the same and made a country that has over 250 divisions (tribes).

The holocaust was a result of racism. 6 million Jews killed.

Do you even ask why the hutu and tutsis didnt kill themselves for centuries until some racist white guys sold them weapons?


If I talk pako now, them go complain.......

IKON360:
I am an Ajebo and I am a kpako.

On your 2nd point, that is why I feel very strongly against tribalism. Or the rubbish that goes on in some states, in Akwa Ibom, Ibibios discriminate against Annang people and vice versa, yet they are from the same state with minor language differences, in Abia, Ngwa people discriminate against other Igbos that are not Ngwa and vice versa. Tribalism is worse than racism.

Spoken like someone who has left the shell of his ajebutter life and fully embraced the pako side of life.

Racism is far worse than tribalism. A quick example; Hitler vs the Jews. Or the African slave trade.

oyetpel:
The 'Aje butter' will not agree with you ....lol

Sharrap

Please, take a look at this picture of the scene and then answer two questions-

1. Who has a better grip of the gun?

2. What would happen to the black man if the white man pressed the trigger?

BigBudi:
When you expend a round in a shotgun..you have to pump it to get the casing off the chamber and at the same time load another bullet. Maybe that was why the white guy couldn't shoot the "veteran" plus experience probably came into play too.

Nonsense! Reloading is not the problem here.

In that particular scene, all the white guy had to do was squeeze the trigger. It would have at least blown the hand of the black guy, giving the white guy ample time to reload or beat him to death with the butt of the gun.


I watched that scene twice.

alexistaiwo:
Mr Aje butter, shotguns are very useless in close combat because you have to use both hands to steady and aim which a seasoned and more physically fit veteran can easily take advantage of.

You even have to manually expel used bullets casing each time you take a shot.
Of course you can't know that.
Mr Aje butter.

You are very right I wouldn't know such ridiculous notions about shot guns.

Shot guns are actually the best for close combat. One hit one kill because of its stopping power and damage. Shot guns actually are the worst when it comes to aiming and so, it's best to use with closer targets.

But what do I know, I am just an aje butter who plays a lot of call of duty and doom.

On the other hand, you are an aje pako who probably runs with gangbangers and gun smugglers in the hood.

alexistaiwo:
Black dude was a trained military veteran

In the military, they train you to magically redirect bullets from guns pointed at you from pointblank distances.

Just finished watching Future Man season 2.

I just realised that Time travel movies and series are mostly tragedies. You can't mess with nature and believe that you will get away with it.

Notable exceptions to this are Edge of tomorrow and project almanac. However, if you follow the plot logically, one would see that a good ending was just one plausible timeline out of many timelines.


Time travel movies are the best because they work across many genres- action, fantasy, drama etc. And also, they usually show the human nature when faced with challenges.

alexistaiwo:
Exactly what I was saying.

There are many holiday destinations in Nigeria but you are advising me to go abroad as if that is the route to the kingdom of God.

If I decide to heed your advice now and get racially abused during my holiday.
Whose fault is that?

Sit your ass down and build your country.
That's how the Chinese were able to command the world's respect.

I resemble mountaineer? You want me to go and climb Olumo rock in the name of Nigerian holiday destination?
Or you want me to catch disease from Ikegosi warm spring?

Jokes apart, many Nigerians have business and family abroad in the West. They have no choice but to travel

Blackmanta,

Wait, I just realised that you actually said that you haven't watch Aquaman. Seriously? A whole DC fan like you? Better change your username.
