Is this the same guy who was built a
entire subtheme
based on another notoriously murderous totalitarian regime? People who live
in glass gulags shouldn’t throw stones.
Chill out, Junior Marshal.

Thanks for the thoughtful critique yet again, Marc. The Eastern Block is an
ironic look at the future of communism (similiar to Keith Goldman’s Iron
Reich, an ironic look at futuristic fascism - but not condoning it). And
while the Soviet Union has its murderous past, so does Great Britain, France,
the United States and any other regime you can think up. And the Eastern
Block isn’t based solely on the Soviet Union, but on a broad concept of a
future of communist society that stands at odds with quasi-American PCS. The
whole point is to create friendly banter.
Still, my initial critique stands: Richie’s MOC is unimpressive and unfunny,
for shock value alone. My MOCs never relied on shock value, and always
attempted to be good creations regardless of theme.
Why don’t you chill out, Mr.Nelson? You’re making what is a thoughtful
critique into a match of name-calling. I’m not throwing stones, I’m giving
my opinion.

I find Lenny’s EB works to be inspired, creative, and usually filled with a bit
of tounge-in-cheak. EB was also created by
Chris Giddens, not Lenny, though he rocks
as an EB builder. EB is part of a bigger universe too with the PCS, 3vil, Jade
Empire and others. Hey you can even check
it out here on Lugnet. You know we spacers
stick together, and well over a dozen different people have built EB MOCs, not
to mention all those that have tried there hands at the other sub-themes. There
is even a comic book with the EB in
it.
Lenny’s MOCs are well designed showing a higher level of skill and creativity
than we see most often. Lenny also builds more good MOCs, in more different
genres than anyone else I know. His MOCs are inspiring... Um, Richie’s moc,
yeah, not so much...
Lenny’s comments were to the point and as far as I’m concerned on target, and in
my opinion MNJ is just trying to be flame bait by trying to add his own shock
value.

So, it’s ok to post MOCs about murderous regimes if you are a good builder, but
should refain if the MOC is less than inspiring?

Um, the EB has never killed anyone, I’m pretty sure it’s make believe... The
death toll in WW2 was in the 10’s of millions, Hilter was a bad guy, and so were
the symbols of his reign...
I’m sorry you can’t seperate reality from make believe, you might want to seek
help for that...

Neither did the “space Nazis”. They are both fictional, and both based on
murderous regimes. How’s a hammer and sickle any different from a swastika?

Well, not to be blunt about it but yes, that is exactly what they are saying.
You ever listen to Robin Williams go on about childbirth? (or anyother topic
really) But Childbirth isn’t really a funny topic. And most people wouldn’t
consider it a lighthearted topic. So why is the audience in stitches? Because
Robin Williams is a very good comedian. He understands the nuances of the
subject matter and knows how to manipulate an audience. He pulls the act off
brilliantly. Ever hear other comdeians go on about childbirth? It usually isn’t
funny. Such it is with some builders.
Now the topic of Hitler flying a Schwatstica shaped spaceship would require a
mastery of brick based storytelling before banyoneb should be attempting it.
If you do not understand why, then a class in empathy and history might be in
order. Better yet, check out the ending sequence of Mel Brooks “History of the
World Pt.I” That might give a clue of how to be funny with Hitler.
