Slime posted:In the cartoon series there's plenty of supernatural nasties that were never human. Actually even in the original you've got hellhounds and a god so even there not all the things the ghostbusters take out are literal ghosts of dead humans. To elaborate, some of the things they fought were direct manifestations of intense negative emotions, according to some of the background material I've read. Some of that might be from the comic books though. Even look at the things animated by the mood slime in GB2.

"And the only person who has any direct proof I have killed the king/murdered the President/did something horrible I-" "Killed?" "gently caress that poo poo, I banished him!" Looking at you, Avatar, the Last Airbender. Seriously you made her leave and never ever come back, ooooh ooooo spooky!

Just saw Central Intelligence last night (wasn't really my choice of movie...). Obviously it's not supposed to be serious, but was triggered when: - Calvin sees Phil for the first time in the parking garage but somehow knows who he is. - Was the CIA aware that Bob was innocent the whole time? Phil mentioned that they sent him under deep cover to find the real black badger when he's trying to convince Calvin Bob is guilty and it's then implied after Phil reveals himself as the real black badger that is what Bob had doing, but if so why were the CIA hunting him for the whole movie? - If Bob didn't know that Phil was the black badger, then how did he know the real black badger wouldn't show up at the parking garage? What was the plan supposed to be? If he did know he was the black badger, wouldn't he have realised that he faked his own death? - Why did they find a human ear in the elevator after Phil faked his death? He only mentions he exploded a "blood bag" which he didn't think would fool anyone. If so, why?? - How is Bob able to move/do things so quickly off camera? Is cleaning up impossibly fast something the CIA teaches you to do? Why did he have some sort of mountain dew party in his sleep when he stayed at Calvin's house? - What was the message of the movie even supposed to be? "High school sucks for some but they will get revenge in the end, and for those it doesn't suck for life just works out to be alright" ???

I get irritated when movies have a monster that's completely impervious to weaponry, especially guns. Especially assault rifles or other automatic weapons. Bullets are really strong, even 9mm rounds can do some significant damage to living tissue. Yes, there are animals, like bears, that can shrug off pistol fire, but it's not like they don't take wounds from it and bleed. Anyway I just watched a show in which something like four men were firing SMGs at a monster, and after something like a minute of prolonged gunfire it apparently killed them all and chased down the protagonists, completely undamaged. That's just stupid.

quote:Stranger Things It's a pretty well-established thing that maniacal, villainous organizations are dumb as hell when it comes to tying up loose ends. It should come as no surprise that even in a tiny shithole in Indiana they'd mess it up despite having access to every method under the sun by which to off someone without the local yokels asking questions. I dunno, I laughed when he woke up in perfect shape without a mark on him. They demonstrated what they're capable of earlier and still willingly chose not to get rid of the (obvious, enormous) problem. I just assumed the writers were aping the trope  Also some cold-blooded jerks rolling up with complaints about that poo poo when nobody cares about Barb, ever

The schoolmarm gets transformed into a little girl by the carousel and the two boys find her weeping by a tree. Then they leave her there and go defeat the baddies and destroy her only chance at getting back to her right age and she's never mentioned again. Thanks Bradbury Thadbury I think the show was trying to reverse the old horror trope of teenagers that gently caress are gonna get cut, so let's have the smart nice chaste girl get hosed over instead but RIP Barb.

I think with the girl looking for Barb, she reasoned that her friend was very likely dead and was instead looking to get revenge on the monster.

In the case of Stranger Things, that poo poo was totally intentional and was an amazing slow burn.

Strudel Man posted:Yeah, it might be inconvenient, but "oh no I've been made young again" isn't exactly a fate worse than death. Imagine the prospect of having to do puberty and High School twice. Also you probably need a new identity and lose all your old friendships and everyone you ever knew or loved thinks you're dead. Also there's nobody to take care of you so good luck getting adopted, mystery girl with no birth certificate!

First of all, is the government likely to have, on file, the DNA and fingerprints of a 50 year old school marm with no notable criminal history? Also DNA profiling only started in 1985, which is a few years after the movie (1983) and a long time after the book came out (1962). ... And after rereading what I'm replying to, I realize that you were in fact probably joking  but I spent all that time looking up DNA profiling and fingerprinting and this movie/book I've never seen so I'm not about to back down now.

Yeah, there is no grand DNA database in the world where you can just drop in some bio material and it'll spit out a dossier on the owner. Really, unless you are a known criminal, a military member or a certain class of government employee, your DNA is unknown to the world. (DNA forensics is a very nuanced and fascinating subject. Everyone should look into it.)

I don't care how big and monstrous it is, if a tank shell scores a direct hit, it's breaking the bone (or goddamn it, at least the skin). My suspension of disbelief is pretty strong but geez now.

Red dragon the size of a football field gets shot in the elbow by some dudes with an anti-tank missile launcher and it loses its forearm.

Yes, there are animals, like bears, that can shrug off pistol fire, but it's not like they don't take wounds from it and bleed. Depends on the animal really. You could open fire with a 9mm uzi against a rhino and at most you'd probably draw blood or maybe cause a bruise. Their skin is just way too thick. Same with elephants to an extent. That's why the guns made to hunt em are loving huge, and the bullets are gigantic, because they have to be in order to not only break the skin, but to get through some incredibly dense tissue and damage something on the inside. Now, obviously movies aren't going to go hyperrealistic when it's a monster film, but with that sort of stuff it's more along the lines of lore/mythology based where it's more "OH poo poo OUR GUNS DID NOTHING" "Oh, it must be a hyper werewolf that can only be injured by platinum bullets!" or some kinda weird poo poo. I'll agree 100% that it's kinda weird when the person getting shot is just sort of standing there like "Oh, hey, this is new" as opposed to at least flinching or spazzing a bit.

I just kinda assumed that since it was a spooky upsidedown world monster that it just straight doesn't give a gently caress about bullets. I mean it yanked its foot out of a bear trap with no problem, and being set on fire only seemed to confuse it. It took psychic powers to stop it, and that probably didn't even kill it, just sent it back home.
