Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Hela is directly talking about the conquests of Asgard when she says that line. The portraits of her and Odin’s wars are right there as she’s speaking. The implication that she and Odin stole it from their conquered peoples is pretty obvious.
(Of note: Ragnarok in the ancient myths is also characterized as a punishment for imperialism. It happens because an army of Jotunn storm Asgard to get revenge for Odin killing an enormous sleeping one and building the universe out of its carcass.)

I do feel kinda bad for Maximilian Hapsburg since he actually did want to do a good job in governing Mexico, he tried to make Benito his prime minister, he loved Mexico and was horrified by how the poor were treated in Mexico so much so that he abolished child labor, restricted working hours, cancelled debts above 10 pesos for peasants and held to the liberal policies of Benito's presidency.
Hell even Benito Juarez personally liked Maximilian despite leading the opposition against him and later executing him to send a message to the royal heads of Europe.
As far as 19th century despots go, he was closer to Dom Pedro II the Magnanimous than to Napoleon III.
But I digress.

Last note on this but yeah, I'd watch it.
You even have Maximillian's rumored parentage.
Some people surmise that he was Napoleon II's son(who lived just long enough to have impregnated the mother and he was noted to be extremely close to her like best friends-close so much so that it was rumored that they were in a sexual relationship with each other) not Archduke Karl Franz's son.
And well DNA evidence says that Napoleon III wasn't an actual Bonaparte but Talleyrand's grandson. (Napoleon III's Y haplogroup is completely different to the actual Bonapartes and their other patrilineal descendants which isn't possible if he's patrilineally descended from them).
It really is one of the great ironies of history that Talleyrand(who despised Napoleon and he him) had a grandson that masqueraded as a Bonaparte and followed in Napoleon's footsteps.
I prefer this picture.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
x3 So does this make Man Ape, Nappa? If so, than its appropriate seeing how he is hilarious and we would quote everything he says.
Or am I thinking of Klaw?

Dragon Ball could work as a live-action franchise, but the problem is that nobody wants to make a live-action Dragon Ball. They want to make a live-action Dragon Ball Z. They don't want to take the time building up audience suspension of disbelief and organically developing the characters and concepts. They just want Goku and Vegeta to throw city-smashing explosions at each other five seconds into the film.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I love that M'Baku and T'Challa shared the screen for all of eight minutes and the internet just decided "Yeah, they fuck."
My various fanfics.It took a whole eight minutes for the internet to decide that? Wow, you're right, that is weird. The internet's usually faster about this sort of thing.

Yep for a couple years. They even put down some major roots in Mexico too. Lots of the soldiers settled down in Mexico even after France withdrew.
Most Mexicans that talk about having French roots (like me) are talking about descent from one of Napoleon's soldiers.
Napoleon III is even the one who popularized the term "Latin America" in order to foster kinship between France and Spain's former colonies as if they were a loving uncle that wanted to help us.
Basically, France was Count Olaf to our Baudelaire orphans.
