Glad they gave Bulletproof that role-call scene with Black Samson.

Great summary of The Guardians' current dysfunction and, plus, it gave some degree of depth to the most one note member of the current Guardians lineup.

After the complete lack of details or scenes with Rae, pre gut-check, I respect the choice to give Bulletproof something.

[u/QueasyIsland → u/The_Throwback_King]

I agree but the Cecil is doing all this for White America line by Bulletproof was just cringe to me and forced by the writers. I never got the inklings Cecil is that kinda guy, and it’s evident to everyone his priority is the entire world before anything, not just White Americans.

[u/AmIClandestine → u/QueasyIsland]

That's probably just bulletproofs outlook, characters having their own perspectives and opinions is what makes them characters after all.

[u/QueasyIsland → u/AmIClandestine]

Totally it just felt sort of out of place in a great speech. I understood his entire sentiment and he honed in things which needed to be addressed, that just came outta nowhere as the audience hasn’t seen that tone/vibe from Cecil

[u/Odd-Emergency-6597 → u/QueasyIsland]

Nah it felt right in place to me. I loved everything about Bulletproofs speech

[u/Lucifer_Crowe → u/Odd-Emergency-6597]

It being between him and Black Samson felt right yeah

It doesn't necessarily mean it's true

He slates Rudy when he's consistently been the one carrying that whole squad.

[u/ILoveRegenHealth → u/QueasyIsland]

I don't think you're from America. That line fits and hits hard considering what's going on in the country.

Also, Robert Kirkman made Invincible an Asian character, because he noticed every superhero main character was nearly 98% white, even at a time whites were nowhere 98% of the population.

[u/Anjunabeast → u/ILoveRegenHealth]

nearly 98%

Just like Donald it’s poetic

[u/MyARhold30Shots → u/QueasyIsland]

It's not out of place, you just disagree with him lmao

[u/QueasyIsland → u/[deleted]]

Meh it’s Reddit, as soon as people see 0 or -1 they’ll just go along and bandwagon enmasse. It’s a very disingenuous way of upholding discussion and actually goes against the etiquette and rules of the website. But yeah, it was genuinely a raised eyebrow moment,no pretext just something thrown in there at an attempt to send a message that doesn’t follow the character in reference’s behaviour or morals

[u/240Nordey → u/QueasyIsland]

Characters can have biased viewpoints due to their backgrounds. A character can dislike white bureaucrats the same way a character can dislike immigrants... therefore, it's in their character to say biased things...

Also, disregarding one line spoken by one character simply because YOU don't like the "messaging" it seems to give off may be a you problem.

[u/QueasyIsland → u/240Nordey]

Where have we ever seen that’s in Bulletproof’s character to have that sentiment

[u/krilltucky → u/QueasyIsland]

have you considered that those words are a part of his character that we haven't seen yet because we literally haven't seen shit from this guy?

do character traits not reveal themselves after the first scene a character is in?

[u/Emergency_Fig_6390 → u/QueasyIsland]

Just now we just saw it. They’re developing his character and that sentiment is a part of that
