GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Sucker Punch That movie makes a lot of sense if you've spent time involuntarily confined to a mental ward. You don't have a lot to occupy your mind, the other patients are a mixture of catatonic, friendly, and loving with you for reasons you will never understand. Your doing the same thing to everybody else. The nurses are overworked and enforcing rules that make sense for the group but make no sense to the people who just want to take a nap in their room instead of reading year old people magazine. Seeking refuge in a fantasy where you can have another fantasy where you can have some level of agency becomes completely normal.

It felt like it was being too complicated for no reason. Like it could have been about a girl in an institution imagining she's this awesome warrior. But they added in that weird middle bit where she's a girl in a mental institution imagining she's a hooker stuck in a brothel who's imagining she's a ninja.

"I'm Charles Xavier and these are my Zay-Men" The biggest disappointment for me after and incredible trailer was Only God Forgives. It's a shame because the film contains all the elements of an amazing film but it's just not that good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAgirTtfobk

But they added in that weird middle bit where she's a girl in a mental institution imagining she's a hooker stuck in a brothel who's imagining she's a ninja. Zack Snyder gave an interview when the movie came out where he said the whole brothel thing is an allegory for how comic con nerds interact with actresses and have a bunch of weird sexual hangups about women. I guess the fantasies represent the movies that they star in, and the mental institution is what it's actually like to deal with those sorts of people?

For reasons I can't figure out, the spergy part of my mind has suspension-of-disbelief issues with a salient few mutant powers in the X-Men movies, and only a few. I've got no problem with a dude who can control ferric metals, change their shape, muck with the weather, read everyone's minds, heal from anything instantly, literally have bird wings, whatever. My mind can slot that into That's What Works In This Universe. Then I see the Summers kids shooting out laser beams from their eyes or chest, and some corner of my mind starts screaming how the caloric demands of doing poo poo like that must be through the roof, and using them willingly for more than five minutes must be like running for days at a time. I know I should just chalk it up to the universe these films, just like everything else, but I can't.

They open wounds on his hands every time he extends them, then the wounds heal around them when they're retracted, due to his mutant healing factor.

kujeger posted:the claws are natural, but bone. the adamantine layering is artificial The thing that bugs me about the bone claws is that they're never drawn/shown in movies to actually look like claws. Instead they're just these weird bony spikes that don't look like anything or look like they're even sharp. And speaking of sharp, it really doesn't make any sense how those same bone claws get covered in metal and come out looking like knives. Bazinga! posted:
That description of his powers only ever showed up in a character compendium thing and has never actually been part of the comics.
