Another certified alpha flight moment I think about a lot is when Mac was dying when they fought lamer alpha flight the first time and Heathers ass was like ‘I wonder what’s behind this door 🤭’. It’s your husband. His suit is malfunctioning and he’s going to explode right in front of you. You now have to take on a huge responsibility of keeping the now not government sponsored super police in order while dealing with immense grief and guilt. You can’t stop thinking about if you had never wondered what’s behind that door, would your husband still be alive. The only solace in this stressful time of your life is two men who are both kinda into you but one is in a weird situationship thing with a married couple and the other has intense internalized ableism but at least he’s not making it your problem. I mean like damn, if I was Heather ‘Girlboss’ McNeil Hudson I would have to take a 6 month vacation or become a hermit or something.

THE VINDICATOR(1986)

Probablemente de los pocos méritos del que puede presumir "The Vindicator" es haberse adelantado un año a "Robocop y el

aspecto del "Vindicator" que se lo debemos a Stan Winston, que fue contratado tras su labor en "Terminator" (como aquella, aquí también hay un falso busto totalmente animatrónico del héroe).

Un científico, a punto de ser padre de familia, es asesinado en un accidente provocado por sus superiores con el fin de usar el cadáver para experimentar. Se trata de convertirlo en relleno de un traje futurista diseñado para viajar a Marte a base de conectar su cerebro a una serie de electrodos de modo que pueda ser tele-dirigido Pero en un descuido, el hombre se activa antes de que puedan enchufarle un control remoto y huye. Poco a poco va recordando y recuperando la personalidad, así que decide vengarse de quienes le han puteado.

Esta producción Canadiense del 1986 dirigida por Jean-Claude Lord ,está dirigida de forma bastante torpe ,puede que lo más doloroso sean los momentos de humor voluntario, pocos pero chirriantes. Y luego, pues un puñado de incongruencias absurdas, como el modo en que el "Vindicator" entra en contacto con su mujer (a través del sintetizador) y lo fácil que le resulta a ella convencerse de que se trata de él, aunque lo que haga sea hablarle a un teclado.

También hay sitio para la risa involuntaria, como esos moteros que ven al cyborg por la calle, perdido, y le califican de "chuleta"... Una vez le acorralan, uno comenta que "Parece un super-héroe salido de un tebeo".quien le encuentra parecido a El increíble Hulk( supongo cosas del doblaje)

El mayor acierto de "The Vindicator" consiste en que para el enfrentamiento final, el mega-malo de la peli se enfunda en otro traje futurista idéntico, por aquello de estar a la altura de su contrincante. Ello debería haber desencadenado una batalla titánica de proporciones apocalípticas... pero no, la cosa queda bastante deslucida y poco emocionante, es decir, a la altura del tono general.... que incluye aquí la desencantada y nada emotiva historia de amor imposible. Por lo demás, pues menos violencia de lo que sería deseable (la única muerte algo truculenta es la del mismo protagonista) .

No es que "The Vindicator" sea un mega-truño, pero es una pena que con Stan Winston y su maravilloso trabajo para esta película, no se le sacará más partido al protagonista y su transformación.

Para mi película muy disfrutable pero dirigida con muy poca gracia

ICJ Ruling

Okay, let's get into this.

First of all, I get the frustration at the court not ordering a ceasefire. I was disappointed and frustrated at first too, since a ceasefire was the biggest and most important preliminary measure South Africa was requesting - and of course we just all want this horror to finally end for the people in Gaza. So I get the frustration and disappointment, I really do.

However, I do think this ruling is still a major win for South Africa, Palestine, and international law as a whole and here's why:

The court acknowledged that it has jurisdiction over this case and completely dismissed Israel's request to throw out the case as a whole. It will now determine at the merits stage (that will probably take years) whether Israel is actually commiting genocide.

The court acknowledged that Palestinians are a "distinct national or ethnic group and therefore deserving of protection under the genocide convention". Pull this out next time someone tells you "there's no such thing as Palestinians, they're all just Arabs".

The court acknowledged very unambiguously that "at least some" of Israel's actions being genocidal in nature is "plausible". South Africa has a case, officially. Israel is accused of genocide, in a way the ICJ deems "plausible", officially. This is huge. (And seriously, how freaking satisfying was it to hear all of those genocidal statements by Israeli politicians read out loud and used as justification for this rulling?)

The court might not have ordered a "ceasefire" in those words, but they did order Israel to "immediately end all genocidal acts" (which includes killing and injuring Palestinians) and submit proof that they actually did. How are they going to comply with this ruling without at least severly reducing or changing what they're doing in Gaza?

In fact, this wording might actually be more appropriate for a genocide (vs a war), as author and journalist Ali Abunimah notes on Twitter:

He's completely right. Israel lost today, by overwhelming majority (I mean, 15 to 2? I heard people predict the rulings would be very close, like 9 judges vs 8, but instead we got 15 to 2 (and even 16 to 1 on the humanitarian aid). Holy shit.) The court disimissed almost everything Israel's side of lawyers said, while acknowledging that South Africa's accusations are "plausible".

And this is important especially because of Mr Abunimah's second tweet there^. Because the question is, where do we go from here?

This ruling means that Israel is officially /possibly/ commiting genocide and that should have huge international consequences. The rest of the world now HAS to take these accusations seriously and stop arming and supporting Israel - and if they won't do it on their own, we, the people, have to make them. This is THE moment to rise up all around the world, especially in the countries most supportive of Israel (the US, the UK, Germany): Protest, call your representatives and demand a ceasefire and an end of arms deliveries to Israel.

We now have a legal case to back our demands: If Israel is, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" commiting genocide, then all of our governments are, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" guiltly of aiding in genocide. And we need to hold that over their heads and demand better. We need to do that right now and in huge numbers. Most politicians only care about themselves and saving their skin. We have to make them realize that they could be accused of aiding in genocide.

(As a German, I'm thinking of Germany here in particular: After South Africa's hearing, our government dismissed their case as having "no basis" - how are they going to keep saying that now that the ICJ officially thinks otherwise? Over the last months, people here have been arrested at protests for calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide. How are the police supposed to legally keep doing that now that the ICJ has officially deemed this accusation "plausible"? I used to be scared to use the word "genocide" at protests or write it on my protest signs - not anymore, have fun trying to arrest me for that when the ICJ literally has my back on this one 🖕🏻.)

So yeah - don't be defeatist about this, don't let Israel's narrative that they "won" (they didn't) take over. This might not be everything we wanted, but it's still a good result. Don't let what the court didn't say ("ceasefire"), distract you from the very important things that they did say. Let this be your motivation to get loud and active, especially if you live in any country that supports Israel. Put pressure on your governments to not be complicit in genocide, you now officially have the highest international court on your side.
