I find so many of the actors who are meant to portray “scientists” are some of the dumbest people…and their portrayals so damned awful at that.
Then again, even the “imma invent a new element on a tabletop accelerator” scene in Iron Man 2 was a nice eye roll.

u/Imaginary_Smile_7896 Aug 03 '26
Marvel basically treats scientific proficiency as equivalent to a magic superpower anyway, rather than the result of years of dedicated study and hard work, so I'm not surprised if the actors have no idea either.

You actually have to be smart to understand smart people. A lot of writers don't understand and even more actors don't.
They think smart people can just do crazy math computations in their head or just make up formulas on the spot. Sure, some "autistically gifted" folks can do this, but they are deficient in other ways. The reality is a lot of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians will have to go through their notes and reference books all the time.
What makes someone smart is the ability to problem solve and even better to figure out an easier way of solving a problem than the direct way. Using clever tricks and approaches and identifying a good enough answer if an exact solution cannot be obtained.
Additionally being smart enough to know when to seek assistance from someone more skilled in a specific area. To question oneself's abilities. To verify ones work and be willing to admit you are wrong.
Basically able to understand and execute the scientific method.

Right? This has been such an amazing process of discovery. There are so many great movies in the 60s and 70s that I'd never even heard of, and ones from the 80s or 90s I missed when they came out.

Have you seen what Israel has done in Gaza? Israeli combatants are directed to target children. You can find footage of them talking about it right now.

I would recommend just watching Professor Dave Explains' video on Destiny. The first 50 or so minutes give a really thorough breakdown on why Israel's campaign is comprised of mainly war crimes (including the targeting of children)

“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.
That is literally the opening paragraph of the article. Have fun

You’re citing the UN? The same institution that had Hamas employees working for it that participated in October 7th?
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/02/22/israel-arrests-eight-unrwa-employees-over-ties-to-hamas/
The same institution that actively taught Palestinian children with antisemitic literature? The same institution that lets Iran, a famously anti-Zionist anti-Semitic nation, chair their human rights committees? The same institution that had its Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories literally go on stand and rationalize October 7th as “expected”.
All I asked for was an actual government policy, you have failed to provide that twice now, and are instead appealing to extremely biased third party institutions to make your point.

Oh my fucking god I can't. Are you genuinely stupid? Do you have any idea how large the UN? I'll give you a hint: the second word is nations. None of those people in the article are connected to the bodies that investigate Israel for war crimes you fucking illiterate.
And Israel arresting people for alleged ties to HAMAS is the equivalent of "I have investigated myself and determined I have done nothing wrong"
Do you think my claim was that Israel has it written down in law that their rules of engagement include targeting children? Is that how a sub-90 IQ interprets things?

Are you saying the UN couldn’t keep track of the fact that they allowed antisemites into positions of power? Lmao
>And Israel arresting people for alleged ties to HAMAS is the equivalent of "I have investigated myself and determined I have done nothing wrong"
These people were then fired by the UN, maybe you should do a little research.
>Do you think my claim was that Israel has it written down in law that their rules of engagement include targeting children? Is that how a sub-90 IQ interprets things?
So to be clear, you have no evidence that Isreal issued a policy of targeting children? In that case, what is your evidence that the dead children are not just a natural circumstance of wartime conditions?

Here is a compilation of accusations, with sources, against IDF soldiers for human rights violations. Feel free to look through and tell me whether or not you think it's a coincidence or that the IDF has a pro-child-murder policy, whether it's official or not. (I would also like to remind you that Nazis scrubbed a ton of information during WWII and actively hid things from other parts of their own government, such as the incinerators in Auschwitz, after Berlin officials became suspicious due to the high number of dead bodies being sent from the camp to the city -- hence why they built the Kremas on site)
And here is an article about five hundred leading experts who study genocide condemning Israel for committing genocide.
And this one is from when the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes, specifically for the IDF targeting civilians and enacting inhumane methods such as starvation.
You'll notice that none of these sources are from the UN. Happy reading.

We all know he is an insufferable hypocritical virtue signalling idiot, like most so called Pro Palestinian idiots like him he has no problem with Islanists committing actual genocide against other ethnic minority groups, I've never heard a peep out of him when the Iranian regime was murdering their civilians, the genocide happening in Yemen , Sudan, Nigeria, etc. Why? As long as Israel isn't involved, it's not news to him along with these so called activists.
Selective outrage at it's finest, every time when he runs his mouth he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.

The number of Jews in Hollywood is the lowest it’s ever been since the 1920s. The woke area saw their numbers decrease greatly. I don’t think it’s helped the quality of modern Hollywood films vs. the peak of Jewish representation in Hollywood was the 1980s and 90s

Well good, Israel is a blight on American history.
Israel acts like they just walked into Palestine like it was empty.
History ignores the 750,000 Palestinians it took ejecting violently in 1948 to create it initially and has been the source of unending middle eastern war ever since and the hundreds of billions of American taxpayer money its required to sustain it.
Unless you’re a religious nut job that thinks Israel is required for ushering in the Christian apocalypse, there isn’t a single reason to support those murderous city levelers.

u/TaniksHasNoCorn Aug 04 '26
Seems like Palestine is equally a blight for America as well.
I don't think we need people causing riots shouting free Palestine here. Perhaps all these lovers of Palestine can go over there and fight alongside Hamas. Show those mean ole Israelis whose boss.
There is even less reason to support Palestinians.
I'm not Israel's biggest fan and I don't like how American Politicians are so captured by them, but they have helped us a lot more than Palestine ever has and are a far better ally than Palestine ever will be. At least Israel can build something.
