In the marvel cinematic universe Norway was razed to the ground by frost giants in like 1100 AD so I dont even know what the gently caress theyre going for.

I was irritated that in John Wick 1 they had silencers that made noise kinda like they should have, but in John Wick 2 they went for the dumb lovely psh psh kind. They got so much right regarding guns and realism and reloading and whatnot but then just hosed up that so bad...

The 'silencer' in A SCanner Darkly was an amazing gag: "What are you doing?" "*Downey Jr taping a bottle to his gun barrel* I'm making a home...made... silencer..."*Fires the gun* Everyone is deafened as it amplifies the sound due to the bottle exploding.

They also had Iron Man-grade body armor stitched into regular suits. Come to think of it, John Wick would have been hosed had his enemies thought of wearing ski masks made of that armor.

Sunswipe posted:I've never understood how other religions exist in the Marvelverse (comics, movies, whatever) when Thor is wandering around and helping Captain America beat up baddies. In the Marvel Ultimate Alliance videogame, a chunk of it is set in Asgard with the heroes base of operations in Valhalla. That seems to pretty conclusively settle which religion is correct. On the other hand, I love how ridiculous and far-reaching the Marvelverse is. While DareDevil's spin kicking ninjas, the Punisher is in Riverdale helping Archie track down a drug dealer and then later on fight a Predator.

It's a union thing. If others started hunting vampires, Blade's union would raise hell about it.

That kind of armor doesn't absorb all the force of the bullet; wouldn't they just be choosing to die of massive blunt-force trauma rather than the gunshot?

There was a throwaway line about how you'd still feel the impact but the bullet wouldn't penetrate, so I'd imagine if you got shot in the noggin with something at the very least you'd have your bell rung and a cracked skull. John seems the kinda rear end in a top hat who'd just shoot you repeatedly in the skull even if the bullets don't go through, until you forget what math is.

At least in JW2 they make an effort to show that the armor of his suit is basically magic AND it still knocks him around a good deal.

Garrison Besoke makes a custom bulletproof suit that stops handgun rounds pretty effectively. I didn't think the suit was that out there.

Did your hair get messed up when the point flew over your head? A IMM I saw today with Agents of Shield: Season 4 Simmons is, perhaps, one of the most intelligent people on the planet. She's impossibly gifted in the sciences and technology. So, she's been looking for a new apartment for her and Fitz with little luck. Suddenly she is emailed a listing on a perfect fit by an anonymous source and she just... shows up. Granted she had enough sense to bring her sidearm but nothing about this to her screamed TRAP TRAP TRAP, which it was.

Iko Uwais (the guy from The Raid) is pretty awesome. He has another American movie coming out sometime this year where he beats up aliens alongside Frank Grillo. Fuuuuck, he has a movie coming out sometime this year with Michael Jai White, Tony Jaa, Scott Adkins and Tiger Chen. muscles like this! has a new favorite as of 03:08 on Jul 5, 2017 |

Saw The Forest but this IIMM is pretty prolific: "Hi this is Bob, I'm currently not available but you can leave a message after the beep" *beep* *caller hangs up* Motherfucker, why do you hang up after the beep? That's something my grandma does, I have countless messages of hers on my phone that consist of the sound of her hanging up. Also, why do they always listen to the full "I'm not here" text? I'm pretty sure the audience would be familiar with the concept of answering machines by now and would recognize them after a few words, so why does everyone always listen to all of the message like they've never heard it before?

Throw him into a black hole and let some other dimension deal with him. Like they were GOING to do with Ultimate Galactus, until someone thought it was too much of a dick move for Reed Richards to intentionally condemn another dimension to death via giant robot-locusts and instead they just shot a giant laser at them instead. (Apparently)

Wasn't that laser the big bang of another dimension, and Reed Richards was all conflicted because he basically committed a universe-sized abortion? Or am I remembering that wrong?

Sleeping in a coffin filled with radioactive dirt, someone tries to stake him. Banner hulks out and all his clothes rip except the shorts and a vampire cloak. "Hulk not drink wine!", etc. Practically writes itself.
