    I dislike that list, it was misleading and actually caused a lot of shit because it was first posted on a sub I mod while everyone was sleeping.

    Yes, with multiple active mods there's not much to do in reality. Doing it alone is difficult, don't recommend it.

    I feel like this is a unnecessary take and mostly incorrect or vague/borderline nonexistent thoughts that you dug deep for based on what media you've personally been consuming. I saw the movie, and none of this crossed my mind. The fantastic 4 comics came out right around the 60s, when the space race and culture were much different. The stuff in the trailers showing the 4 on grainy film, along with the shots of the spaceship are clearly homages to the reality of the time, the same shots of the apollo space ships and the footage is similar to that of Neil, Buzz, and Michael.

    Having a story set in what the people of the 60s thought the future would look like isn't anything surprising and should have been extremely clear based on the trailers. The product placements are less hamfisted than other marvel movies? Iron man had the burger king product placement which has a nice story but it also has the Audi car Tony drives in..quite a lot, and lots of shots of it in the background in his lab, or the LG phone. Ads in time square are kinda the point of it, not seeing them would be more off putting than seeing them.

    Others have already talked about your comments on "token ethnicities", I don't have anything do add.

    But the half moon thing is extremely weird Complaining about a potential metaphor for unity is very weird when the premise of the entire movie was coming together for the greater good.

    In my opinion when you said this, you did say you're willing to accept more risk and that you're "on the side of Iran" in the sense that you're okay with them having nuclear weapons.

    If Iran did have nuclear weapons, why wouldn’t we just get used to it, like has happened with every other country that has them? Is it really so much worse than China or Russia having them?

    What I've generally been trying to say is that yes, it's much worse and you have disagreed, thus taking the side of Iran, because they want nuclear weapons.

    If you were only asking questions I wouldn't think you're taking a side but when you're directly making comparisons and counter arguments I think it's only fair to assume your position.

    Yes. That's not a "Israel is good" take, it's that's just how bad Iran is. Will you answer the question?

    Israel isn't as extremist as iran. Do you think Iran is the morally superior country compared to Israel?

    Yes I have an issue with them but 1. No other country is as religiously extreme as Iran, and 2. Disarming any country is next to impossible in the current political climate.

    When taken with no context, sure it's true. If you're willing to gamble the potential loss of life with Iran a known religious extremist country then yes it's worth it. I am not.

    Because that's not the whole starting point. Iran wants (wanted?)to destroy Israel (pre this direct conflict). They didn't want to negotiate with them, "death to Israel and the USA" wasn't just a thing the people there want(ed?) it's what their government was attempting to make happen.

    The more countries that have nuclear weapons the higher the chance they are used, especially when extremists have them. MAD didn't apply when one side IS willing to die for it's cause.

    There is no reason to allow any risk when it comes to this, if you allow/accept the risk and you're wrong the consequences is a nuclear attack that could kill millions, destroy the global economy (varying degree depending on where the attack would happen), and a potential nuclear response that could kill even more people in Iran.

    Regardless I don't think it's a good idea to wait until they're an imminent threat. It's not like Iran is a bastion of everything good in the world, they're almost the exact opposite.

    Because Iran is far more likely to use them. They already funded terrorism via Hamas and Hezbollah among others. They've shown they're willito support killing to advance their cause.

    Israel would like a regime change, one that doesn't say "death to Israel" and take actions to make that happen.

    There might be consequences to this action but the risk of that is worth it imo, when compared to the risks associated with nuclear weapons.
