Well, the episode was based off of Die Hard, but I could see some Dredd in it too.

Gareth Roberts said in interview at the time that someone brought him the Dredd script while he was shooting The Raid. Any road up: who wants to buy the sequel to Dredd? Dredd: Underbelly, the comic sequel written for the Judge Dredd Megazine, is being published as a collected one-shot in January. Orders close on Monday, so if you want it, get to your local comic shop and ask them to order you a copy using the Diamond order code NOV131215.

Man I can't believe this thread is still poppin. Did anyone else find Lena Headey's Mama to be a tragic figure? I mean yeah she ruled the skyscraper with an iron fist but as a prostitute was she not a victim perpetuating the only thing she was taught? Brutality was the only way to power and in a world like the one she was thrust into it was the only option she had. Hell she told her minions not to gangrape Dredd's partner so it wasn't like she was particularly sadistic

She bit off a guy's junk because he scarred her face, and she seemed to enjoy torturing her geeky whipping-boy. When it comes to business decisions she seemed pretty detached though. She had the guys at the start skinned because it sent the right kind of message, and she explicitly says the reason for not raping Anderson is because it would bring down too much heat from the Justice Department. Had it served her purposes better to torture her to death she would undoubtedly have done it. BrotherAdso posted:It wasn't universally awesome, though. The movie had some serious issues in the way it treated technology (it strains belief that the judges don't have better radios than that, for example, or that they use wrist communicators even when they live in a world of voice-controlled smartguns and self-healing spray). It strains belief that radios don't work in a building totally covered with thick metal shutters? Unless you ignore the laws of physics entirely that is always going to be a problem with radios no matter how advanced they get. jabby fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Feb 24, 2014 |

The shutters are also designed specifically for nuclear attack, so radiation of all types is going to be a high factor in what they want to keep out.

Baron Bifford posted:All I know is that she was a hooker working for an especially vicious pimp. Whilst that is tough, I can't feel any sympathy for her because she went on to become a pretty monstrous person. Maybe, in that part of Mega-City One, you have to be vicious to gain power (especially if you're in organized crime), but you don't need to be vicious to survive. Also she killed a few hundred by-standards with that gatling gun.

 SEQUEL NEWS http://whatculture.com/tv/destination-star-trek-frankfurt-press-conference-report-2.php quote:Karl Urban came on last and one of the first questions asked was if there is any chance of a Dredd sequel. In what should be music to fans ears, he said "conversations’’ are taking place between the studio, the director and writer Alex Garland. He commented that the cinema release of Dredd was badly handled but the film had found its audience on DVD and it has been noticed by the studio. It feels like, inch by inch, SOMETHING is gonna happen theatrically.

I love how Urban is really into it too. Some actors just cut their losses and move on but he seems genuinely enthusiastic about the franchise.

She does clearly enjoy torturing/emasculating men; had I gone through what she did and found myself in a position to do so, I probably would too. Been a while since I've seen the movie, but I think Mama was looking out for Anderson in that scene. She also knew that any expression of sentimentality would only weaken her status, so she fabricated a more pragmatic motive.

As far as I remember all her lieutenants/minions are guys and she treats them fine (apart from the techy guy, and he is more a prisoner than anything). And she mowed down men and women alike in hunting the Judges. Her motive for not torturing Anderson didn't really seem fabricated.

Eh, I have a feeling we'll reignite this same tiresome debate again. Why not go back over the past 50 or so pages for an exhaustive debate on the morality of everyone's actions? I personally could do this all day, but other goons will start shooting themselves in the head if I do so.Vintersorg posted:

Spalec posted:I really hope we do get a sequel. Wasn't the original plan for the second movie to explore the origins of the Judge system (so maybe we'd meet President Booth) and the 3rd movie would be about the Dark Judges? After reading the recent IDW recolourings of classic Dredd stories, I could see the apocalypse war working as a final story. Basically it's easily divided into three acts and leaves a good point to end the trilogy, but open-ended enough to continue onward. Act I is the citizens of Mega City One succumbing to block mania, making them hyper violent and hyper loyal to their local. Plenty of ultra-violence and over-whelming forces ahoy. Act II is the introduction of East Meg One(the Russians) into the throng, taking advantage of the block wars [spoilers]that they induced [/spoilers] to overtake the judges. Act III, Dredd and a cluster of Judge resistance hijack one of the East-Meg transports, nuke East Meg One out of existance, and force the stranded East-Meg soldiers to stand by as Dredd dispenses justice on the self-imposed East-Meg ruler of Mega City One. Aftermath left seemingly half of MC1 destroyed, many civilians dead, and all but one chief justice dead. It's an epic conclusion with the right amount of nihilistic, wanton destruction, with enough action to show Dredd's badassery. Plus, it's a lot more believable in the world built in the first film than a Judge of pure death.

It might be ending on kind of a downer to show Dredd wiping out a billion innocent men women and children with no remorse. It would be a dramatic storyline but I don't think it would be a very satisfying character arc for him. I think the original idea was to have the second film be about the democracy protesters, and to have Dredd start off brutally breaking up peaceful demonstrations and end up with him questioning the morality of the judge system. Then when everyone is comfortable with the setting Judge Death arrives in the third film.

areyoucontagious posted:What is the real thing? Is there a place one should start? "The real thing" is the stories published in 2000AD (1977-) and the Judge Dredd Megazine (1990-), which are collected in part in a variety of volumes and in full in the Complete Case Files, which are up to volume 7 in the US and volume 22 in the UK. There's a Dredd thread over in BSS (prop. Yours Truly) that has some info on where to start, but if you've seen the movie and hence are vaguely familiar with the context you could do worse than Case Files 5 and Judge Dredd: America. The former is a good jumping on point and has two of the best early action stories; the latter introduces you to the more politically aware side of the world and shows just how smart and deep the strip can be.

This may be the only time I ever say that I wouldn't mind a MLP crossover with something I like. I'd like to see adults being weird creepy MLP fans outlawed in MC1 and Dredd cube each one he comes across. Actually, no, nevermind. I'd rather not. Keep MLP out of anything I like.
