spooky like this! posted:So according to this pdf Guardians of the Galaxy has the most on screen deaths of any movie ever. The important thing is "on screen" which doesn't count stuff like planets blowing up in Star Wars. The thing that puts it over the top is the part where all the Nova Corp ships blow up. They claim they counted each one and use the earlier scene where you see that each ship is a one seater. Apparently the group who did this compared over 600 movies. I don't understand how a bunch of ships blowing up is different than a planet blowing up.

Because they can actually quantify how many died in those scenes instead of the generic "just a whole bunch" that you get from capital ships or planets.

"You know there are people in those ships" is quantifiable, but "You know there are people in those buildings/on that planet." somehow isn't? It seems like a really weird justification. Besides, GotG2 could always say that not all of them died or something.

Guardians 2 has a chance of blowing up a planet that is a person. That has to count for something.

With the way you see how the World Engine crushes people to death while others get incinerated by crushing fighter jets, 600 seems low.

Yeah but even if they count all the visible individual deaths, it's probably less than 80000. In Guardians you do actually see every little ship explode in a big wide shot.

Aphrodite posted:Yeah but even if they count all the visible individual deaths, it's probably less than 80000. if I read correctly the little ships are 600 in total. There is just no way there are 79400 other onscreen deaths in Guardians, unless they count stuff they should count in other movies too. Edit: I didn't read correctly.

If anything, deaths in ships shouldn't count because we can't see the guys inside. Alderaan had millions of people just standing around outside, which makes them MORE visible than people who are closer to the camera but also inside an opaque vehicle.

Alderaan, plus the crew of the Death Star. That thing probably had a crew in the tens of thousands.

The ships are never shown leaving the atmosphere, we can't determine if they're space ships or not.

If Fox had any clear goal for the franchise and didn't just poo poo out disjointed solo pics they could have done a trilogy and had the titles go like 1. Weapon X 2. Wolverine 3. Logan and the titles would have been thematically appropriate to different time periods in the character's life. Instead we have movies that barely have continuity with each other let alone the rest of the X franchise and are all tonally conflicting with each other.

So of course they were lying back then. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:New Dr. Strange TV spot with some ear-piercing sound design and uǝʍ ɟooʇɐƃǝ I think this is pretty much confirmation that Strange has the Time Stone.
