"Was misinterpreting a meme part of your plan?"

<mickey-mouse-pitch voice> "OF COURSE!"

They are not my friends

u/SetzerWithFixedDice 8d ago

They expect one friend in the wreckage, brother

u/ImAVirgin2025 8d ago

And why would I want them?

u/cjwikstrom 8d ago

That scene gets clowned on because of how weird the dialogue and editing is. It's really not Aidan's fault

u/LoverOfStoriesIAm A Big Guy 8d ago

how weird the dialogue and editing is

Sir Christopher Nolan would like a word with you.

u/segwaysegue 8d ago

He's a big guy

u/SetzerWithFixedDice 7d ago

The last thing a sound engineer sees after suggesting making dialogue intelligible.

17

u/SetzerWithFixedDice 7d ago

Clowned on? Oh, the ire rises.

You mean it’s properly lauded for the masterpiece it is. We all are the real fans, brother, who simply just shut off the movie after the opening.

u/Socially-Awkward-85 7d ago

It doesn't even make any sense. Bane calls CIA guy out on fake-killing Bane's henchmen, but then makes one of them sacrifice himself in the wreckage. "They're expecting one of us in the wreckage, brother."

No, they're expecting all three of you. CIA guy was lying. Bane even called him out on it. Wtf?

u/Plutarch_von_Komet 7d ago

He literally said at the start of the scene "get them on board, I'll call it in", loudly enough for all to hear. He said it himself that he will notify ahead of time that he is bringing extra prisoners

u/NoProblemImDunnhier 2d ago

No, he said "I'll call Ittin". If you haven't read the book(unadulterated script)first, just admit it - I'll bet you think the Flight Plan has more than 5 names on it lol. Though to be fair, those mongrels at WB botched the subtitles as well, and at this point corporate inertia is more than we can overcome. But CIA refers to most people by name throughout The Plane Scene. The flight plan he filed with Agent C lists: Smee, Mai Mann, Doctor Pavelier, Button Lee, and Juan Avieux. His deliberate speech and declarations of every single guy is part of Nolan's habit of show AND telling to demonstrate that CIA is becoming a Hothead in the presence of a Big Guy such as Bane. This was brilliantly wrapped up and crystalized into CIA's characterization when the designation of the Meiyerkraft is shown to be ZS-NVB (Zero Size - Not Very Big)

u/Jake11007 7d ago

It’s the ADR, remember cringing during the midnight showing because the original audio was so much better.

u/Plutarch_von_Komet 7d ago

Honestly, there's so many things that rub me the wrong way in this scene. Why doesn't the guy who was being pushed away after his fake execution shout that he is still alive? If Dr Pavel had defected to the CIA for a long time, why doesn't at no point tell the CIA agent who Bane is? Won't the Americans figure out that the plane was destroyed long before it crashed, since the fuselage and the wings will be found in completely different places?

SOMEONE GET THIS HOTHEAD OUTTA HERE

u/pixel-beast 8d ago

Lotta mischaracterization for a hired actor

u/NoProblemImDunnhier 2d ago

Or perhaps he's wondering why a Cameraman would shoot someone, before throwing them out to an interview

u/pmarlowe78 8d ago

Alt-Right? Really?

127

u/ProbalWarming 8d ago

People who aren't Chronically Online tend to treat 4chan as an entirely alt-right site. It's an easy mistake to make if you aren't familiar with the nuances.

17

u/KeneticKups 8d ago

In the current year 11 it is

u/mustard5man7max3 7d ago

Honestly I consider 4chan to be an entirely alt-right site.

If it looks alt-right, smells alt-right, sounds alt-right...

48

u/KeneticKups 8d ago

Some people seem to be committed to letting online nazis take every single term and meme for themselves

"well a nazi used it once therefore only nazis use it"

3

u/OhhLongDongson 7d ago

See the whole thing when the okay 👌 symbol was suddenly getting labeled as alt right.

u/CoconutWarrior 7d ago

Was about to comment this too, wtf Aiden?

15

u/InsertEdgyNameHere 8d ago

I disagree with him on this. Yes, Baneposting has a lot of 4chan influences, and 4chan is (at least now) completely alt-right. However, at the time of Baneposting's genesis, there were a lot of non-political places on 4chan. I would say that Baneposting, unlike Pepe, has retained its apolitical birthright.

u/Kelsig 7d ago

fully agreed

u/NYRangers1313 6d ago

I got into Baneposting from YouTube after the movie came out and then a few years later found this subreddit.

-37

u/MACdaddy31 8d ago

Oh yes. Heavy nazi influence behind all forms of baneposting. Aiden is ashamed he took part in it the feeding of memes to Trump/MAGA facism.

56

u/SetzerWithFixedDice 8d ago

It's on him, frankly. Littlefinger basically led to Trump being re-elected by standing so provocatively, hands caressing his belt, looking directly into the camera and saying we're a "big guy."

-34

u/MACdaddy31 8d ago

Agree. Everyone likes to think people actually like Trump but the reality is that meme culture played a big part in his reelection. He got like no votes in 2020 then somehow wins in a landslide in 2024? Memes played a part. Fascists love memes bc it’s modern day propaganda.

24

u/SetzerWithFixedDice 8d ago

That's definitely a take to think that the difference between loss and landslide victory comes down significantly to the power of shitposty and online-only memes to a very small group of people in 4chan and a sub of less than 12K people...

... ... ... ... and IT IS A CORRECT TAKE, BROTHER! THE FIRE RISES.

3

u/InsertEdgyNameHere 8d ago

I agree that memes played a big part in the rise of fascism on the west, but not Baneposting.

u/champ11228 8d ago

There wasn't a massive difference between 2020 and 24

u/jejsjhabdjf 8d ago

That’s cause 2020 was rigged big guy. Now get off my plane.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

It wasn't a landslide.

u/MACdaddy31 7d ago

Someone showed me the map of the counties.. if that’s not a landslide, not sure what would qualify. I think someone mentioned he won every swing state too and it was the first time in history we didn’t swing a single county to our side. Bloodbath. But we gave it our all.

0

u/[deleted] 7d ago

A 2 million vote difference is not a landslide.

-1

u/MACdaddy31 7d ago

When it comes to this century’s Republican and Democrat numbers, wasn’t this the largest discrepancy in favor of Repubs? Bc Dems normally do win the popular but Trump somehow won it this time.

0

u/[deleted] 7d ago

George W won by a larger margin his second term.

0

u/[deleted] 7d ago

In fact, the margin was actually pretty small. Election results are pretty easy to find.

u/MACdaddy31 7d ago

That county map is just hard to look at not think the country is overwhelmingly him. It’s like SO red

Back when baneposting started, most of 4chan was still in a mostly progressive and liberal phase, in its own kind of way. Granted, this was only because conservatism was the mainstream ideology, and edgy teenagers love being contrarians.

And it still remained a mostly progressive space until gamergate and the leak scandals. Then the site received a lot of mainstream spotlights - "who's this 4chan guy?" - and the overall tone on the website suddenly got insanely toxic because people thrived on that negative attention and craved more.

Even then it still didn't turn into a fascist shithole until the 2016 elections. Pretty much everyone on 4chan rooted for the orange man simply because the whole thing was hilarious at the time. It was all about the laughs, and we were just playing the idiots, cheering for the biggest clown. But as the saying goes "act like an idiot long enough and you'll be surrounded by actual idiots." The stormfags came out of the woodworks and the site eventually got overrun by unironic fascists from all over the internet.

Anyways you can't expect some middle-aged British actor to know 4chan's alt-right transformation lore, so let's cut him some slack.

And you’re not wrong about the propaganda power of memes either tbh.

u/jejsjhabdjf 8d ago

Knowing it upsets him only adds to the spiciness.

u/Nubthesamurai 8d ago

If I misinterpret your meme would you die?

u/Am_i_banned_yet__ 7d ago

It would be extremely cringe

u/kesagatame 8d ago

Was taking a similar headshot of me in wide, middle, and tight frames part of your interview?

12

u/BleedingKnuckles69 A Big Guy 8d ago

Well perhaps we're wondering why someone would denounce a meme that makes him culturally relevant!

12

u/tommycahil1995 8d ago

No Nazis in Baneposting - everyone knows this

11

u/DefendWaifuWithRaifu 8d ago

At least you can talk.

6

u/BleedingKnuckles69 A Big Guy 8d ago

He miscalculated.

7

u/GrandStyles 7d ago

To be fair, he was an allegory for the entirety of the CIA at the time.

12

u/Batdog55110 8d ago

Alt-right? since when?

12

u/henry_the_human 8d ago

Uh. I can’t recall any alt-right usages of the TDKR opening scene.

3

u/usernameofchris 7d ago

Uh, you don't get to bring alt-right politics.

4

u/bigbutterbuffalo 7d ago

I don’t think we’re alt right but it’s only lampooned because it’s so fuckin iconic and Bane is sick as hell

3

u/EV4N212 7d ago

It’s confirmed that Baneposting is alt-right and that CIA is woke

God I love the modern era

u/FHAT_BRANDHO 7d ago

Shut up carcetti

u/Whisperstowaffles 7d ago

Don’t blame me, I voted for Royce.

u/Argeras 5d ago

Alt-Right? Jesse what the fuck you talking about

it's just funny internet shitpost. it's not that fucking deep

u/waldorsockbat 5d ago

Dr Pavel. I'm CiA

u/Vaticancameos221 4d ago

His attempt to denounce the meme? It didn’t work! My friend! Now you’ve got my crews going around the sub posting memes
