It makes perfect sense he would do this because he was a terrible cop. All he really did was beat people up for Frank ot cover poo poo up for his bosses. He probably hasn't had to to do any actual police work in years so him going into a crime scene alone isn't that crazy. Also he was working for Frank trying to find Casper's money, if other cops were there and he found something he wouldn't have been able to steal it.

Yeah his whole deal at that point is trying to find a hard drive before the other cops while getting super drunk and making poor decisions.

Where do I even start? This has to be the worst MCU movie made yet. His name isn't even Kurt, he doesn't teleport and he isn't a gymnast. He's just some guy who films crime scenes. Was this like a prequel to an origin story? It doesn't mention any other movie in the MCU, there was no mid credits or end credits stinger and as far as I can tell no one has any sort of mutant power. I can't help but feel the SJW's have something to do with this. Also his costume was loving terrible. Keep Jake Gyllenhall out of the MCU please Marvel.

I want to echo what the others and say, yeah, terrible cop doesn't act like a supercop is not something that should piss you off, it's part of the story.

Also Woodrugh was good at making traffic stops and riding a motorcycle. He's terrible at everything else. He knew it and spent the whole season just trying to get back to the job he was good at, that was his whole motivation for everything.

The whole task force that is the main characters of season 2 is not composed of good cops chosen because they are super badasses, it's broken people who higher authorities believe they can manipulate for their own ends. Nothing ever shows they are spectacular at their jobs. One gets things done because he has an inside source of info, the other because she has childhood trauma, and the other because he hates who he actually is. They all actually suck quite a lot and I think that's the point of a lot of what happens.

I also don't think anything I've said is a direct spoiler.

Crime TV shows that never bring backup for the important bits.

I've seen it happen in plenty of CSI episodes, whenever they finally track the real bad guy down it's always one or two people who will be on the scene.

But whenever it's a herring they always bring a drat platoon of people.

Also, in the show Criminal minds, 80% of the time the show is in a world where nobody has decent lightning, like everything is dark and nobody turns a drat light on.

It's funny that the csi pilot goes the other way on this and has one of the csi's get killed by a suspect that was hiding in the scene they were processing. Because later on every csi is carrying a gun and showing up to serve warrants.

It's surprising what can cause you to fail a drivers test. The testing people can be incredible hard-asses.

I started driving farm equipment when I was around 10, started driving cars and trucks on the road when I was 14, all with manual transmissions. I drove every chance I got after I got my learners permit. I practiced the items on the test before taking it and I took the test in a car with a manual transmission.

I didn't pass the first time. My parallel parking was too far from the curb and I automatically failed. They didn't give you a second try on any of the various tests.

I passed just fine when they let me re-take a month later. It's a silly system. My brother is a great driver and he failed twice.

I hate how in the superman movie everyone was trying to hide from a tornado under an overpass :wtc:. That's literally the worst place you could possibly go.

It would have been a better movie if the twist was that daddy kent, supes, and the dog were the only survivors after that idiotic decision. At least then supes would have a traumatic reason to avoid helping people.

I live in north Texas, and I was always told as a kid that if you encounter a tornado while in a car, it's safest to hide under an overpass. I Googled it after reading your post, and sure enough, that's a myth, it's not safe at all. What the gently caress, I'm pretty sure I had teachers tell me that.

Luckily I've never actually seen a tornado in person my whole life.

Yea, I think the general idea is that at least under an overpass you feel like you have some sort of shelter. IIRC you are supposed to find a ditch or something to lay in.

Guess maybe it'll save you from wind debris if it doesn't drop that overpass on you in the meantime.

The problem is the overpass is like a giant funnel for winds, making them even faster and more dangerous.

But yeah that means this movie might end up actually killing someone.

That's a myth, tornadoes can see behind themselves just fine.
They just can't look up.

So if you're being chased by a tornado, climb a tree or something.
Eventually it will lose interest and leave.

I wish I had some examples of this but all I have is going over to my parents for dinner and cards and they play the oldies cable channel and every other song is about drugs and old dudes hooking up with young girls and they just hum along.

I've long since given up trying to explain it to them because I'm Debbie Downer if I try to get them to listen to Brown Sugar or Young Girl (get out of my mind, my love for you is way out of line, better run girl...) and actually hear the words.

Most people ignore lyrics and listen to the tune, afaict.

Its because it makes the flying cows more deadly. The overpass can cause a wind tunnel effect making winds (and the flying debris) move even faster.

I sold a car to a Polish guy who told me he was buying it for his younger brother. I said, "Your younger brother can drive a manual?" He said, "In Poland, no one has automatics." That kind of blew my mind. I'm a shade under 40, and even in my age bracket, at least 75% of my acquaintances cannot drive stick.
