Taika Waititi: I had Thor reconnect with Loki, gave him a badass female ally, and ended the movie with Thor leading his people to a new home.

Ryan Coogler: I developed Black Panther into a well rounded character and established Wakanda as this beautiful technological advances country. I ended the movie with Wakanda opening it’s borders to better the world.

Russo Brothers: That’s all really great guys but Thanos wipes out all of this.

Waititi & Coogler:

Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up

I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.

When I was 21.

So I actually wrote my dissertation about this and it’s not just that the Department of Defence (there’s an office in the Pentagon dedicated to liaising with Hollywood productions), but they effectively have a strangle-hold on how Hollywood portrays the US military since the DoD give permission for producers to use military hardware, without that permission the cost of filming sharply goes up and films end up extremely over-budget. So the producers can either drop any critical elements at the DoD’s discretion, or continue with a film which will barely be released at all and will never make its budget back. 

Any American film which involves the military, know that the DoD probably signed off on it, or were directly involved with. Films like American Sniper and Zero Dark Thirty had a heavy government influence, the latter to falsely justify the methods the CIA used in finding and killing Osama bin Laden, which included torture.  

It’s why the military figures are always the heros and there will never be a Hollywood film which is critical of the US military because of this. Just remember, whenever you see the US military in a Hollywood movie, it’s exactly what the Department of Defence want you to see. It’s not being hyperbolic when these types of films are called propaganda. 

The same DoD programs are responsible for the implementation of the narional anthem and patriotic flavorings applied to American football events.

Sergeant Bilko was a movie about an Army sergeant who uses his position to run a bunch of scams: he rents out jeeps, he runs an underground casino, a bunch of stuff.

In the closing credits, there’s a message that says the movie makers want to acknowledge a complete lack of support from the US military.

Lmfao his dying wish is for women to be incubators

And to be a political pawn used by people who primarily want to end abortion as a way to make women, especially women in poverty, suffer.

Force women to give birth, then force them to either raise the child in poverty and all that entails, or give up the child to others. The latter being a mix of making the mother suffer by having to lose the kid THAT way, and allowing the kid to be raised in “homes” out there that basically brainwash the kid into conservative ideas.

All of this, while also risking the mother’s life during birth. And forcing all those hospital costs on her.
