Just loved him with his Dreadlocks tied back into a ponytail with a screwdriver in his mouth and a tiny pair of reading glasses.

Whatev posted:Literally everything you liked about Iron Man 2's villain was forced into the movie by Mickey Rourke That explains why he's all I remember from the move (and Don Cheadle). Granted, I've only seen it once and I was drunk. edit for content: that reminds me of something stupid that always ticks me off in superhero movies: when a villain could easily be taken down by a police sharpshooter. There's a scene in 'Iron Man 2' where Mickey Rourke is blowing up race cars with an electric whip (not even making this poo poo up), and he's otherwise really non-threatening. He's not wearing a helmet or full armor like Iron Man would. Just shoot him! 'The Flash' TV show is really guilty of this too with Captain Cold and Heatwave.

The birds, the hair, the tattoos and teeth and his more human scenes - all of it. That's how bad the script was; it contained absolutely none of that. Imagine that character with none of those elements and that was what it was going to be, there but for the grace of Rourke. I knew he was played by Mickey Rourke jackass, I didn't know all of that was his idea so thanks for enlightening me.

How many armed police sharpshooters are there generally at an auto race in Europe? Keep in mind that Iron Man had his armor on and was fighting him within about three minutes of Whiplash beginning his attack.

All police are terrible shots though. In Spider-Man 2 Doctor Octopus was stealing money from a bank and throwing old ladies around and the police shot at him like 80 times and missed every one. He didn't even have crazy spider sense they just couldn't hit this dude.

He didn't even have crazy spider sense they just couldn't hit this dude. It's because he had those shiny robo-limbs. As we know, police bullets are most effective against surfaces with very low albedo.

My IIMM in Spider-man 2 was every time Spider-man hit Doc Oc. Spidey can lunch through brick walls and Doctor Octopus has no enhanced damage resistance. His arms preventing him from being hit is all he has, so any time a punch gets through it should put him into a coma.

Peter holds back because he doesn't want to cause severe brain damage or death to a great scientist who, in the movie, was being controlled by his psychotic arms and wasn't evil himself.

One of the main IIMM in Iron Man 2 is that Whiplash is hit WITH A CAR where he has no armor. He's spitting up blood. Dude is straight hosed UP. Yet, like what, 5 hours? later maybe he's ok and in a cell with Tony and Tony is chatting him up like it's no big thing.

It was another acting choice. They hit Mickey Rourke with an actual car and he was just like: Oh! You wanted the character to be injured? Sorry dude, the Styrofoam car was so light... what do you mean it was steel? That's just what Mickey's like.

For as much as everyone loves him, most of Spider-Man's major comic plot lines are really, really bad.

A thing I'm enjoying in Legends of Tomorrow so far is Captain Cold's hero complex. He is fixated on his "code", never leaving a member of his crew behind fiercely protective of them. He has a hero complex just as bad as Barry's, his is just applied differently. Although I'm only as far as Project Soviet Firestorm (Episode 3 I think) so don't correct me if that changes later.

Iron Man 2 would have been a hell of a lot better if Hammer had been portrayed as a real threat. He's supposed to be the #2 weapon guy in the world, just barely behind Tony. Having him be lame and his weapons sucky means Tony is only #1 by default.Ryoshi posted:Then Peter completely fails to get into his own body and dies to Doc Ock's cancer.

I agree. and like how apparently Iron Man's mask has an LCD screen in it that Tony never uses, but Jonah puts it to the best possible use. As for The Spidey 3 Jazz Routine, I heard that it was supposed to be 'Peter Parker wants to be a cool guy, so the symbiote makes him what a complete dork like Peter Parker thinks is a cool guy' But of course, it didn't come off that way.

Having him be lame and his weapons sucky means Tony is only #1 by default. Iron Man 2 kinda pisses me off because you can tell there was originally a good movie there. Stark learning that his father may have stolen Whiplash's father's tech and screwed him out of everything would have made for a very powerful story and given the villain a ton of weight since he would have had a legit reason for hating Tony's guts. But instead it all got handwaved so that they could cram in more Avengers set-ups.

I dislike Iron-man 3 because of the Mandarin thing. Instead of using him to build on Tony's fears, they went for cheap twist. In BvS one thing that stood out to me is Lex Luthor has group of PMC's that frame Superman which could have been a good basis for a story but that's another story. Anyway the frame Superman but they use bullets and not only do they use bullets but they use special bullets made by Lex Luthor. Why? Why have any way for that to be traced back to you? It just made no sense like a lot of things in the movie.

oldpainless posted:I'll be honest. I never really liked any of the stand-alone Iron Man movies Same here. Having an unlikable protagonist works sometimes, but not for me in these cases. My previously mentioned IIMM about Whiplash at the race not being shot is probably most irritating to me because as an American, I just assume at least half of the audience of a racing event would be armed. Just imagine trying to pull that poo poo at Daytona.

When they were shooting whatever that Will Ferrell nascar movie was where he was Ricky Bobby, when they were filming the introduction of the french guy (again, horrible with names, can't remember it) the crowd at the stadium just started booing without any direction needed from anyone. They were not expecting that.

So my mom, who overall doesn't like superhero movies, is wanting to see Deadpool because of who plays him. Fine with me, I want to see it too. So to, somehow, show me what a great actor this guy is, she throws on a movie with him and Sandra Bullock called The Proposal. And it's the most poo poo movie ever, where Sandra is some Canadian publisher or businesswoman (everyone in her office hates her but she's the boss and a huge oval office to everyone) on a green card working in the US, and her card gets called and she has to go back. So she demands the guy marry her because then she can stay in the US. He doesn't want to, she says he is fired otherwise, he tells his parents he's engaged, and she has to go meet the family in some whacky comedy where she, of course, makes everyone fall in love with how awkward and cute she is. But the basis of the movie is that somehow they fall in love and really get married. Okay whatever. But switch the genders and it's a male boss telling his female subordinate she is going to marry him or get fired, and he is forced to meet her family who totally loves him despite him being a horrible control freak, and it comes off super creepy and rapey. Oh, and can't forget all the funny sexual stuff in the movie, like where the two leads stumble naked over each other and it's all so quirky and funny and this is not loving a good movie! It's not a romantic comedy if you flip the genders and it reads like 50 Shades of Grey!

It's a pretty bad movie, but I don't think the threat was being fired per se. It was that as her personal assistant, her getting kicked out of the country would also mess up his career.

Something that kind of bugged me about the movie Argo was for the scene with the read through of the fake movie the knock off robot was wearing this generic robot suit that was used in the parody show NTSF:SD:SUV, also a commercial for Loot Crate.

I think my favorite example is the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights where the main guy gets raped and his girlfriend's reaction is basically "YOU CHEATED ON ME????"
