The Most Tragic Death in Avengers: Infinity War is American Cinema

Disclaimer: most of the ideas presented here about the Marvel franchise are discussed in the phrasing of PewDiePie, not because I had no opinions on the matter before he discussed it, but because I feel that he best addresses the issues at hand.

That's right. This miserable 2 and-a-half hour advertizement for the vast number of identical Marvel movies' most saddening death scene was American Cinema. How far we've fallen, RiPoLa. Much like how the mainstream blindly eats up any other franchise, Infinity Wars succeeded in making millions off of sheeple Marvel fans young and old. There are so many things that I disliked about this movie, that I don't even know where to begin, 



1. Greenscreen/CGI does not make everything better.

     As of late, I've become somewhat of a consumatore for big movies from the late 50s and early 60s, such as the highly esteemed Ben-Hur, Exodus, El Cid, James Bond, Lawrence of Arabia, and a continuing list of other notable "classics." When comparing these films to those of modern day, there are stark differences in every category from camera angles to plot. to the unseeing eye, the most immediate and profound visual difference that can be noted is the lack of any greenscreening or CGI, as this technology was not yet invented. Shockingly, even in the abcense of such capabilities, these movies still hold excellent and dynamic scenes, massive armies clashing, and chaotic scenes of action. 

     When movies couldn't use any form of greenscreen or CGI, produces had to either do everything from scratch or improvise. Take Ben-Hur's chariot racing scenes, for example. The set for the area in the movie was so large, it had to be constructed 9 months ahead of filming to complete it. Once the set was complete, hundreds of unique actors with costumes and roles, all real people, filled this stadium to watch was was a very real chariot race. Real horses were lined up with real chariots on their backs with real actors in those chariots. It was anyone's guess as to what could happen when the horses took off. As one of the actor's chariots fell apart, he rolled into the path of multiple other chariots where he was then crushed and trampled by those horses, and unfortunately did not survive to see the finished movie. That sort of dedication is NEVER seen in modern movies.
     

Vanilla's Guide to Constantiam for R-words, Bundles of Sticks, and Weebs

Here you go, fellas, a guide with everything you need to know to play Orthodox Minecraft with us. It's a pretty step-by-step guide in simplistic terms, so if you can't figure something out, you probably should just do a quick google search of it. This guide is for the questions you won't find as easily on Google.

Before you Play
Constantiam.net (the server we are based on) runs on Minecraft version 1.12.2. This is because 1.13 still lacks many plugins that are essential for the server to run. If you are not playing on 1.12.2, you WILL get this error message when trying to join the server:

Fear not, the fix is quite easy. Simply go to your Minecraft launcher, and select Launch Options

 Enable Advanced Settings and Add a new Profile. Set the version of the profile to 1.12.2.



From here, go back to the NEWS tab, select the profile you just created, and you should be good to go.

Your First Login (Server ID is "constantiam.net"
Welcome to Constantiam. prepare to get DESTROYED by logic, facts, hunger, hordes of Veteran players, Packs of withers, and any other number of things the server will throw at you. your first goal is to escape spawn.

Spawn
"Spawn" on Constantiam consists of a 2,000x2,000 square at the geographical center of the server. The land has been so rekt after 3 years of 20,000 players destorying it that it will take you awhile to escape. Since there is little to no wood, food, chests, weapons, or any other jazz in spawn, your best bet on escaping spawn is by either walking the treacherous terrain or stumbling across a nether portal someone hasn't destroyed yet.

"Why is spawn like this?" Veteran players don't like "rushers," or new players like you who come onto the server and treat it like it's nothing. New players have a history of destorying old bases, lagging the server, or showing a general disrespect to the older players who feel they have earned their place on the server through the grind. As a result, they've destroyed spawn to a point where it is improbable that you will escape, complete with withers, lavacasts, and a lava wall surrounding the perimeter. Because of this, you will likely only escape spawn through a nether portal, as your odds of simply walking out of spawn are astronomically low.

"Uh, but uh, Vanilla, I don't know where to find a nether portal, what do I do?"

You're on your own, kiddo. Portals are constantly made and destroyed at spawn, so there's no map or coordinates to a definite portal. your best bet on finding one is by making it 500 blocks away from X0,Z0 in any given direction. If you can see grass, you're getting warmer.
"But uh I can't do that that takes too long"   Leave and don't come back

NOW, that being said, there IS a map of Spawn from October that is generally reliable for navigating the wasteland, but it won't help you find portals. Here ya go: https://i.imgur.com/5vwnWuq.jpg

Some Brief Thoughts on The Space Cowboy: Richard "Beedo" Russell

Article from Heavy.com

     The video and the article explain and show most of what happened, but on August 10, 2018, Rich essentially committed suicide by stealing an airplane from Seatac, where he worked. There were no passengers on board, and he was the only one killed in the event.

     Suicide rates have steadily climbed in the West. Living conditions, bullying, a lack of  meaning... there's a near unlimted number of reasons for suicide, but I think that in Rich's case, he ultimately was broken, and probably felt a lack of purpose.

     Why would you steal a plane? Rich probably felt that if he was going to end it all, it would be most meaningful to do it not in hiding or in shame, not in violence towards others, but in a way that he felt would bring him peace and push him to the very limit. Because of his job, stealing a plane might have felt like the most logical way to do that, and throughout the video it's made clear that Rich was taken aback by the beauty of the sky. In the article, Rich's personal life is discussed, and he had a love for natural beauty.

     Suicide is no laughing matter, and I think to an outsider, the somewhat light tone about this event among 4channers may have been viewed as an offensive way to handle the situation, but I think that it was more just a coping mechanism, and really a way of trying to feel compassion.

     And speaking of compassion, Rich made it excruciatingly clear that he wanted no one else to be hurt by his response to his pain. I think that says a lot about his character.

    I don't really have much else to say, but thought this was of significance and wanted to archive it here, so there ya go.
