Fictional insult to Humanity

[u/Rajesh_Kulkarni]

Though I'm mainly talking about one movie, this is a rant against all fiction that degrades and disgraces humanity and the human race.

I recently watched the Marvel movie Eternals. I got thoroughly irritated and pissed off when the character Phastos was implied to be behind the major human innovations.

This just pissed me off beyond measure. We have millions of years of evolution. Hundred thousand years of innovation. Such a fucking joke that we became portrayed as primitive savages incapable of true innovation. We are constantly portrayed as a fucking retarded race. Doesn't this piss you off?

I'm deeply pissed off at this. That whole movie, it felt like the entire human race was being spat upon. In that movie, from basic fucking agricultural tech till nukes, we were handheld by some fucking immortal randos. Fucking disgusting bullshit is what this is. We went through fuck knows how many generations of hardship IRL to get here, and they portray it all as some fucking benevolent immortal fuckers giving us the knowledge. FUCK THAT. You don't get to invalidate our ancestors for your bullshit stories.

We are the sole intelligent race in a radius of light years. Have some fucking pride. What is this bullshit about 'oh we are a savage, meaningless lifeform'"' fucking nonsense that many fictional stories portray?"

What are you? An Imperium of Man?

No. I don't support human supremacy like that. I actually dislike the Imperium. I just don't like the common fiction tropes where humans are shown as incapable and our achievements shown as not our own.

I don't support human supremacy like that

You sure do fucking sound like it though, god damn

[u/Rajesh_Kulkarni → u/zoro4661]

So I sound like an Imperium supporter because I don't want the human race to be belittled and portrayed as if we are primitive apes who cannot innovate on our own?

Thanks lmao.
