The Avengers Vs The Pentagon

Via Wired/The Huffington Post: "The Pentagon halted its cooperation with Marvel Studios' blockbuster movie The Avengers because the Defense Department didn't think a movie about superheroes, Norse Gods and intergalactic invasions was sufficiently realistic in its treatment of military bureaucracy...".* Ana Kasparian and Desi Doyen break it down on The Young Turks.

"Fucking." He said "fucking". It's okay, it's the Internet. The FCC isn't going to come throw you in web-jail for dropping an F bomb.  jesus.

Wouldn't that be Batmen?

[ExposeJewishCrimes UniteAgainstTheJews]

Then become a super hero. What is stopping you? Become a Batman :). Start a secret society of Batman's in every city cleaning up crime in this corrupted system.

dont know wtf youre talking about!!!!

Sorry, but youngturks you epically failed hard on this one. Not trying to be misogynistic here, just that it's odd to have women talking about marvel comics. Hulk does not fly and shield is nothing more than another tactical division of the united states military forces. Well at least I got to see Anna.

Always funny to see how people dont even get what a 2 minutes video tries to say. Takes some anti-talent!

[Runner899]

That's a good point I didn't think about that sounds valid.

Another reason why I think the pentagon isn't supporting the Avenger's movie (Spoiler Alert) is because the movie makes the U.S. leaders look like the unmoral bad guys too. Like for example at the end of the movie, the leaders wanted to nuke the City of New York to end it.
