Guardians of the Galaxy 2, not really a spoiler: When Rocket asks Yandu if he has any of Quill's old music on the ship, it cuts to the start of a song off of Awesome Mix Vol 2. BUT, Peter didn't get Awesome Mix Vol 2 until the end of the first Guardians movie. The only Earth music he had up until that point was what was on Awesome Mix Vol 1, so the song Rocket and Yondu played should have been something from the first movie's soundtrack, not a new (well, new old) song from the second movie's soundtrack.

Vision looks like he's shaping up to play the role that Adam Warlock has in the comics. Which is to say he is Space Jesus and as the mechanical messiah he can do his stuff like pick up magical hammers.

I remember some discussion on how Cap's vision in Age of Ultron is basically how he feels at home in war, and having no more wars to fight is a nightmare to him because he doesn't know what else to do with himself. Which might be significant given part of how Thor lost his hammer in the first place was starting a war on a whim. Mjolnir seems almost a little sentient; it understands and obey's Odin's command, and responds to its wielder intuitively. I wonder if we're ever gonna see Beta Ray Bill, the original 'Hey, this guy is also worthy!' Also, the coat rack was worthy.

Maybe, but Adam Warlock certainly looks to be coming soon to a theatre near you, so he'll need a gimmick too. I think vision can survive the gems removal but maybe he'll be demoted in power level from DC to Marvel

They could, but they won't because it's an incredibly cliche and easy story to tell and they know even the people saying they don't want that storyline will go see every new movie they churn out at least once. My irritation with thanos has always been why he didn't just go after them himself in the first place. Comic book villains always send underlings to screw it up and let the good guys get some new powerful stuff so when they finally meet they can beat him. If Thanos had just joined the fight from the beginning he could probably have his dumb magic glove already.

IIRC, Thanos is typically depicted in the comics as being lazy, self-loathing and kind of half-assing the whole 'take over the universe' thing, which it seems he only really makes an effort to do because he's bored.

I watched those new Dragon Ball Z movies, Goku can get tossed straight through a mountain like it's nothing then get shot by a tiny space gun and he's practically dead. Overall my analysis is that power levels in this series are all over the place and Frieza doesn't do anything that makes him look any stronger than he was like 20+ years ago.

He didn't care if the minions succeeded, just that the location of the gems was revealed. If Thanos moved to get them one at a time, he'd be opposed by powers similar to his level before he could gather them all. By revealing their locations, he can grab them very quickly when he needs them before opposition can form. He isn't worried about any minion who succeeds, he knows he can crush any of them even if they have a gem. This keeps him in control of his ultimate timeline, and he can act when he feels the moment is right.

I mean it WAS right through the heart and he wasn't expecting it to happen. I was more pissed off at Frieza actually succeeding at blowing everybody up but then Weiss just going back in time because he can do that now a lot of people overuse the term Deus ex Machina, but i think the term is quite appropriate for that part since this is a literal god we're talking about.

metztli posted:I justified it by "Steve was trying to show off at that point and thus was picking it up for less than heroic reasons" or something along those lines. It's a bit simpler. Once you prove yourself worthy of wielding Mjolnir, you can do it until you perform an unworthy act. Being proud isn't enough for that. But if Thor had said "gently caress all ye all, fix thine own poo poo. I fighteth not this Ultron unless you can wield Mjolnir" then he wouldn't have been able to wield it either because he would have been turning his back on his friends. Likewise, Cap couldn't pick it up because he was doing it for himself - to show that he could - but if he needed a weapon to save someone and Mjolnir was all there was then I'm sure he could. Basically, it's about selflessness. If you want the power and the honour and the glory, you can't have it. If you want to help someone else, you can. This is why in recent comics Jane Foster is the wielder of Mjolnir. She takes it up because Thor becomes unworthy and she believes the world needs Thor's strength, and she gets to keep it because using it is killing her; she has cancer, and every time she transforms into Thor and back the effects of her chemo are erased.

Also Odin and his brothers made the world from the carcass of the first giant who is also sorta kinda their grandfather (possibly greatgrandfather it's been a while since I read the Eddas) and Dwarves mutated from the maggots that feasted on that carcass. Building poo poo from dead bodies is a bit of a theme. The baddies have a ship that is made entirely out of the nails of dead men.

Like he sees wine being spilled on someone and Steve thinks it's blood, and the person's been injured. Then he gets scared at party crackers because it sounds like guns. Like he hasn't had time to decompress and hit up a psychiatrist because Shock and 'War Syndrome' hadn't been invented yet in the 50s. Man, it's been a while since I've seen it, so maybe I'm remembering it foggily.

In the new season of House of Cards the republican opponents backstory is that he's a Fighter pilot who served in the last gulf war. The tiny annoying thing is that Joel Kinnamen is like 6'6 and the tallest you can be is 6'2 and still fit inside a cockpit.

Aren't most fighter pilots actually pretty short? I remember reading that somewhere when they were doing the astronaut stuff, they ended up making em from like 5'8" or so because the test pilots were short dudes.

Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot in WW2 and he wrote about how life was hell in those cramped planes because he was so tall. The British military basically made a mistake in letting him be a fighter because he really wanted to do it instead of being a bomber.

EmmyOk posted:I don't read comic books so maybe it's explained there but whether or not someone can pick up Thor's hammer is weird to me. I liked the funny scene in Ultron where they all have a few cans and then try to lift it and only Steve even makes it move at all. Then later Vision effortlessly picks it up so the audience has clear and quick evidence that he's a goodie. I don't see why Steve wasn't able to lift it though because neither Vision or Thor display some heroic quality that Steve lacks. He's incredibly selfless, able to sacrifice himself for the greater good, brilliant warrior, big lovely arms and nice smile (Grade A). Even when Thor was a shithead at the start of his first film he could use Mjolnir, so that dude was more worthy than Steve? I like the justification that Steve actually could have picked it up, but he realised he could when it moved a little, and kept it to himself. Humility is the core of his character.
