All Time 10s - Superheroes With Completely Useless Powers

shang says...

Squirrel Girl is actually pretty badass, she beat Deadpool twice, Dr Doom and beat Wolverine is straight up melee fight.

check her bio and pics on wikipedia, she's actually pretty cool. Deadpool even made it known that Squirrel Girl was too powerful for him

From Cable & Deadpool #30: "Deadpool, having been bested by her twice, considers Squirrel Girl to be one of the major powers of the Marvel Universe, comparing her to Iron Man and Thor"

Living in the End Times (According to Slavoj Zizek)

The Bechdel Test for Women in Movies

Her's are just a list of seemingly-relevant points that rely on their simplicity. Who's to say having a character name is always a good thing? So what if women don't talk to one another in a film? Why is that such a good thing? Why is that the measuring stick? And so what if women talk about a man in a film. Perhaps that's what the story is about.
The lines she's drawn are very arbitrary.

Ugh, do you really need this explained?
What major/driving character is nameless in a film or novel?
In what society or reality do women not relate to one another?
In what society or reality do women only talk to one another about men?
The point is to make the public aware that an overwhelming amount of popular films either depict women as secondary, dependent superfluous characters or not at all.
I'll assume you're a white male.
Now imagine that every movie from your childhood, teenage years and current life have female asian protagonists.
Not just a few, not just a large amount, but every major movie is about a female jackie chan type main character.
All deuteragonists, tritagonists and extras are female too.
The only male characters you see are the worried desperate husband, the drunken hobo, the clueless nameless youth.
No male characters have major lines.
No two male characters talk anything other then their how they miss and need wives.
No males are depicted that aren't ripped half naked & constanly flexing to attract attention from the main female.
Now imagine all the little boys that would grow up without a Batman or Spiderman or Dr. Doom to day dream about.
Are you visualizing this world?
Because for little girls this [objectification, helpless ditzy stereotype, lack of confident/constructive behavior modeling]
is a persistent reality.


Majority of the women I know would only watch movies as entertainment occasionally and don't really call themselves "movie buffs." If you think there is an untapped "movie buff" in the female world you would think the movie industry would attempt to tap into it? (Chick flicks?)

In reply to this comment by Stormsinger:
Schiff's a freakin loon... Every problem we have is due to government intervention, and every solution is capitalism. You really can't get any more delusional than that.

O'Donnell is definitely being an ass, but that doesn't change the lunacy here.


disagree with schiff but that man is not a loon by a longshot.
at least when it comes to finance.
they called him dr doom because since 2004 he has called it verbatim concerning the financial industry.
i dont always agree with him,but he is worth a listen.

Peter Schiff getting mocked in 2006 - Bulls and Bears

SpeveO says...

Dr Doom was right then, and maybe people should start listening to what he has to say about the credit card crisis that's coming next. The party has just started.

Dr Octagon - Blue Flowers (hypnotic and trippy)

Dr. Octagon - Aliens

Danger Doom (Danger Mouse & MF Doom) - The Mask

Farhad2000 says...

Most people will remember Danger Mouse from his awesome Grey Album where he mixed the Beatles White Album and the Jay Z Black Album. And Benjee, MF Doom doesn't have as many nicknames as Kool Keith, Dr DooM, Dr Octagon, Black Elvis.

Correct the titles, the 2nd rapper here is Ghostface Killah from Wu Tang Clan.
