Yes, I always thought Storm was a little tone deaf in this scene. I think Beast even tells her in another scene: he says something like “it’s easy for you, you don’t shed blue fur on the furniture”
Yeah, something about that sentiment reminds me of when religious people will say “it’s God’s will” when people are suffering and dying, but then “it’s against God’s will” when a woman chooses not to go forward with a pregnancy for whatever reason. Extremely judgemental and entirely insensitive.
And that’s not even the worst thing she says in that movie.
What is the worst thing she says in this movie?
“Do you know what happens to a toad when it’s struck by lightning? The same as everything else.”
Her mutant power certainly isn’t witty one-linerd
Fuck, that one hurt lol. I love that toad in those movies is just a guy who is generally sticky and spits. There could be a character there, but we let him talk once in rehearsal and said that was enough.
It is pretty crazy to look back and think this was one of the first actually good comic book movies.
Oh god I totally forgot about that line lmao
That was the first movie. The one in the meme is from the 3rd one.
Oh yeah. My bad. Wasn’t that how they captured her in the first? By tricking her that they could cure her?
I had the same thought 15 years ago!
Man, these movies were good.
Damn I should have seen this before picking my username. What an inspiration.
Yeah, Johnny Five-Dicks sounds gooood.
I feel like Storm’s answer describes people whose disabilities might make life a little difficult, but mostly different and for them suggesting a cure might be offensive. I feel like Rogue’s response describes people whose disability, whether visible or invisible, can make life miserable and would absolutely jump at the chance of a cure.
I get that X-Men started as a metaphor for civil rights, but I had to get that off my chest.
Hey OP you got a discord handle? Lemmy doesn’t seem to have a DM system. It’s about memes.
maybe you can just comment here ?
I want to orchestrate a launch of a bunch of memes in the leadup to the shutdown of reddits 3rd party apps. Not specifically about reddit but lots of site traffic would attract users, and draw people in. I have like 6000 memes, but not a real idea for executing this plan
Hmm ok but these memes are reposted by me. If you have posted memes on reddit you may have already known basics like to post when the on-site traffic is high as most members here are from USA and for the third party apps one you should start posting them from like 4 or 5 days before July 1st but hold off on the banger ones you know from the gut feeling and post the from like 30th June(in USA timezone) in the meantime just find subs here that have the most members and post there
More like I want to post in tandem with other posters if they can match pace in a coordinated effort, and it seems you have a fair number as well. If not, you’re active, and I can certainly hand off some of my collection to be parsed through and posted. Id be cool with other people pitchin in, andthat would require very active users (at least for the neslxt week). I don’t anticipate posting 6000+ images in a matter of days, but more that I have so many I’m sure we could find things to post.
A worry I have is at what stage does it just become spam, or should I/we hit up sexy_peach and hold an event so it’s all gravy
