Chapter 495 G-Men? Where Are the Yin-Yang X-Men?
A huge company has shown the tip of the iceberg at this time. It is no different from other super companies in the United States, and there is no law to restrain them.
The only difference is that their merchandise, their selling point, is superheroes, nothing more.
As an ordinary person, Huey thought of various ways and tried to sue the locomotive, but it was of no use and there was no way.
When the scene changed, it was Starlight who joined Walter under the spotlight and was promoted to be one of the candidates for the Seven Giants.
Everyone can see how crazy it feels to have superheroes turned into entertainment.
At this time, a barrage from Lin Feng floated over.
[Thankfully, the mentality of the people of the motherland has not been completely distorted at this time, otherwise he would probably have been beaten to death as soon as Xingguang appeared. This old man is also crazy. 】
At the same time, Medellin, a female executive of Vought Company, was reporting this year's achievements to many shareholders who came to attend the annual shareholders' meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that these are golden times for the superhero industry. Our net profits are up 14 percent and our latest film, G-Men: World War, has grossed 1.7 billion dollars worldwide. US dollars in box office, this fall, our new theme park will break ground in Paris, and the company's brand opportunities are countless.
But as you all know, none of that matters because our main job is to manage, support, and advise the brave heroes who put themselves in danger every day just for our own safety. Let’s take a look. Bar. "
Medellin introduced with a smile, and finally walked away, letting everyone watch the big screen.
At this time, another barrage floated by.
【G-Men? You said, you old Yin-Yang monster, who are you in Yin-Yang? X-Men, right, Magneto, Professor I remember that the little bitch has the ability to travel through time and space. The plot of the X-Men vs. the Avengers can be staged. It is not difficult to kill these fakes, right? 】
Lin Feng's rant made everyone's eyes widen immediately, G-Men, X-Men.
It's not like they didn't know about the X-Men before. Lin Feng also mentioned that they generally knew that Magneto, Professor
But it sounds like this guy named Xiao Jianjian can travel through time and space?
Whose name is so strange?
Lin Feng's habit of giving people nicknames has really not changed at all.
And what's going on with X-Men vs. Avengers?
You know, they are all members of the Avengers.
Tony Stark thought of Medellin's words. A world where superheroes are completely entertainment has really maximized the value of superheroes. They have made movies and built theme parks. They treat them like celebrities. Shouldn't they still release records and appear on variety shows?
What is the difference between this and an entertainment star?
Industrializing and scaling it up is really the way capital always operates.
In the picture, the big screen behind Medellin began to play a promotional video for Watt Company.
"A world without criminals, where everyone enjoys freedom and justice. Thanks to the more than two hundred superheroes of the Walt family, all this is within sight. We can see a bright future, and it is now available in every town. A Vought hero."
After hearing such publicity, everyone outside the screen couldn't help but show a bit of disdain.
A world without criminals, where everyone enjoys freedom and justice. If they hadn't seen how a locomotive knocked a girl into a sky full of blood, they might have really believed it.
But the number of more than two hundred superheroes still opened everyone's eyes. This is ten times the Avengers.
"There is a superhero in every city. Is this a security service outsourced?" Tony Stark guessed.
He suddenly thought, I am afraid that the Watt Company is not satisfied with making superheroes as stars, it may even be responsible for the local security.
This is a variant of a security company.
There is no doubt that in a social Darwinian system like the United States, security is also an industry that makes a lot of money.
This is just private security. If it is for city security, how much will it cost?
"Are we at a bit of a loss? After all, we work for free?" Peter Parker, the little spider, couldn't help but say.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
It's just that they spontaneously becoming superheroes and Vought's company turning superheroes into stars are completely different things.
In the picture, Starlight is told that his support rate among Western Catholics has increased significantly, like a political draft.
"Including the pearl in the crown of Vought, the most powerful superhero alliance to date, the Big Seven, this is also our responsibility. We are Vought, and we make superheroes."
As a newcomer, Starlight was brought to the headquarters base of the Seven Giants by Deep Sea. While showing off to him, he made new demands on her, including asking her to express her sincerity and making unspoken rules.
If Starlight disobeys, not only will she be kicked out of the Big Seven, but he may even block her future prospects in the entire industry.
Everyone outside the screen, especially the female superheroes, had unspeakable disgust on their faces, and they wanted to rush in and beat this deep sea into an idiot.
Superheroes became supercriminals, played the tricks of capitalism, and began to play with hidden rules.
Even if a superhero makes unspoken rules for another superhero, even if she is stronger than him, she still has to bow her head under the unspoken rules. This is the horror of capitalism.
Even superheroes will be alienated by capital.
At this time, they deeply understood the meaning of the words Lin Feng had previously recorded in his diary.
On the other side, the butcher pretending to be the FBI also approached Huey and mentioned the fact that his girlfriend was directly hit and killed by a locomotive that he didn't want to mention.
When Huey asked what he could do for the Butcher.
But the butcher said: "No, you are mistaken, Huey, you should ask, what can I do for you, you are not a person, kid, you don't know that this kind of thing happens too many times, superheroes every year Hundreds of people will be killed indirectly!”
"How is that possible? If that were the case, it would have been on the news a long time ago, and everyone would seek revenge." Huey said in disbelief.
After hearing this, the superheroes outside the screen probably knew that Huey was inexperienced, or that he had not really seen the dark side of the world.
Do you think that being squeezed by 996 is considered the dark side of society? Do you think you already understand the world? That's just the beginning.
For this world, 996007 is just gray. To be precise, these are the rules that are allowed on the bright side. The real dark side is far more than that.
However, these people work hard, just to make the world less dark and less unruly evil forces.
Faced with Huey's naive statement, the Butcher just smiled and said: "Sometimes there are reports on things like Robin, but most things are concealed."
"Why?" Huey asked innocently.
"Isn't it obvious enough? For movie tickets, peripheral products, theme parks, electronic products, this is a multi-billion dollar global industry." The butcher raised his hand, surrounded by various superhero GGs from the Walt Company. . "Backed by corporate lobbyists and politicians from both parties!"
All are on the busiest streets.
"But the reason you don't hear about these things is because the public doesn't want to know these facts, because they rely on the security that comes with superheroes, a bunch of smug assholes who drop down from the sky to save the world so you don't have to do it yourself. "Yes!" the butcher said with a bit of a sneer. "But if you knew half of the scandalous things they did, you would feel that everyone and God were outraged.
This is when I need to take action! "
"What are you doing?" Huey still didn't fully understand.
"Punish these bastards when they cross the line," the butcher continued.
"How are you going to punish those superheroes?"
Huey asked.
"Follow me, kid."
The butcher said without changing his expression.
But obviously, Huey doesn't want to know the truth. He is one of those ordinary people who the Butcher said don't want to know the truth and just want to live a peaceful life.
He didn't really want to know the stories behind it, nor did he really want to know how many people had died in this matter.
The only thing he cares about is whether this matter will implicate himself.
He is naturally not a bad person, otherwise he would have accepted the $45,000 compensation with peace of mind, but he is not a good person with a strong sense of justice. Losing his girlfriend is already a very serious matter, and he has been angry. , angry too.
But that's about it.
He didn't want to risk everything, including his only life.
More than a hundred or even hundreds of people are implicated every year. In the eyes of many people, it probably doesn't matter. It's not even a fraction of the number of people who died in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Israel can't even be classified as a genocide, so what does it matter if some people die because of superheroes?
Hearing this, although the butcher was well prepared, he still said angrily: "I am giving you a chance to avenge your girlfriend, what are you afraid of losing?
You have nothing left. "
After saying this, he turned and left, and Huey followed the butcher's footsteps after a moment of silence.
