I never agreed with this statement. If everyone is special, then everyone is. In example in game Overwatch everyone has special abilities and are nothing alike anyone else. Everyone is a specialist in their own field. Everyone is special.
I mean he said “super” not special, he was trying to sell superpowers to level the playing field and reduce the general public’s perception of super heroes.
As said, I don’t care where the quote comes from and what reasons they present in 2 hour movie. I apply the logic of the quote to the discussion we have here, and decided to not agree. It is my personal opinion independent from the film. BTW I watched the film too.
The context does not matter for our discussion. I evaluate the quote by itself, not as a quote, but as a standalone statement. There is nothing wrong with that approach. Why? Because the quote is used in context of OUR discussion, not in context of the film. It is applied as reasoning to our topic that has nothing to do with the film or its origin. And I disagree with that reasoning.
I don’t know how to explain it else. Edit: Simply, I don’t care what the comic character has a reason for to say that. It has 0 impact on what I believe is right or wrong.
I never agreed with it in all context I read it. I can’t disagree with a context I never read. I don’t know why you make it this complicated. I simply do not agree with it. Nothing to discuss about it.
I’m not trying to make anything complicated mate, just tried to give context to why I said what I said to you. If you weren’t aware, you are now that it’s a quote from a villain.
I watched the film. But the source doesn’t matter to our discussion. I talk about the statement on its own with context to our discussion. It doesn’t matter to me who said it. I was very clear about this.
I mean yes, that’s exactly what people are saying with this? And it’s kind of true?
It’s kinda like what Syndrome said: “when everyone’s special; no one will be.”

It’s a quote from a villain. You’re not supposed agree with it or him.
I’m not using the quote for the source, I’m using the quote for what it says.
The source of the quote actually doesn’t matter to me. I judge the quote itself.
But in the source of the quote, there’s a 1h55m parable to go along with it and why you shouldn’t agree with it.

But if you don’t care about the context that it comes from, you may as well say you don’t agree with “Greed is good” from Wall Street either.

You said you “never agreed” with it, past tense. I assumed you meant in all contexts, including its original context.
I never agreed with it in all context I read it. I can’t disagree with a context I never read. I don’t know why you make it this complicated. I simply do not agree with it. Nothing to discuss about it.

I get where you’re coming from, but imo I feel like the quote applies to video games and their publishers a good bit. At least nowadays.
Everyone wants to be The Next Big Thing, everyone wants their game to be the only one people are playing.
Yeah, this is really annoying and tiring. Especially multiplayer live service games are designed in a way that you have no time to play anything else.
Yes it would be so terrible if everyone could be the best at whatever they wanted to be or even feel valued for whatever they excelled in.
Context clues are huge. Maybe you should try to pick up on some.
