IDK man Arnie and Hugh Glass might as well be the same person. Stuff like his characters in Aviator, Wolf of Wall Street and Gatsby I get the comparison but overall his characters are all over the place.

I find it hilarious that Drake Bell has been shoved into the purgatory of lovely knockoff animations after a terrible superhero "parody" movie, while his Disney Costar Josh Peck got Mean Creek before he even met him, and then a decent enough performance in Drillbit Taylor (which I liked enough). Partially because they've become the acting career equivalent of Goofus and Gallant, same with Lindsey Lohan and Mara Wilson (I put them together as Mara apparently did try to advise Lindsey to get out when it stopped being fun like she did, and while Lohan flamed out Wilson saw the internet being weird about her and took the reins, making her online image what she wanted it to be)

BiggerBoat posted:Ok, smart guy. So his hat is underneath a spit curl wig then? Actually, this is starting to add up. In Spidey's case Homecoming at least touched on it; he spends more than one scene either struggling to get his costume on/off, getting the backpack with his street clothes stolen, etc, but the whole film was kinda based around the concept of Spidey being an awkard dorky teenager so it seemed like a neat little concession to "hey he may be a superhero but he's still 15 and falls over trying to take his pants off"

Gonna nerd out here for a moment. The old "where did his clothes go?" thing from Superman is a hold over from the 70s, and the excuse they use is that he super compresses them into a small sphere and then hides that in his cape via a secret pocket. Same goes for the glasses, although he doesn't squish them. He probably has a super ironing technique to get em wrinkle free though. The weirdest moment of that was in Superman Returns where he just flies up the elevator and rips off his clothes and he's fully dressed, with boots, flying out into the world while his suit and pants just flutter down into the elevator shaft making Clark look like some weirdo perv who gets naked in the elevator shaft. Honestly, the biggest IIMM for me would be wondering how he puts all the buttons back on after he rips off his shirt. Spidey in the new movie has that stark tech suit, which is a giant multi million dollar outfit that I'm pretty sure has a/c built in. It's got a heater, at least. Gloves and booties can fold up pretty easily and end up in a pocket or just folded up with his mask in his backpack. Pretty sure he just kept the old suit in a backpack or something all the time, and when he upgraded to the CW suit, he just stashed the whole shebang.

When a terrible person who endangers everyone's lives sticks around because they're really a lovable rebel. Jayne from Firefly comes to mind. He outright betrays the crew so many times but they still keep him around.

Spider-Man can stick to walls which is cool. I get that and I accept that he has that ability. But then he covers his hands and feet and suddenly his clothes can also stick to walls? So does everything he touch also have the ability to stick to walls?

He is the only one of them who is actually any good in a fight (as far as they know, River didn't start being a hypnotrance ninja waif yet) and has all the coolest guns. When you take a look at these characters they almost always have some redeeming quality that makes them worthwhile. Not always, of course.

They used to say it was molecular cohesion or something science / magic like that and it could work through cloth because they made it up and said it could. Spider-man 2099 had actual tiny, little claws on his hands that could grip things. Granted, I haven't read comic books in a very long time so my information is decades out of date.

syscall girl posted:I've only seen a couple of eps of Firefly but Jayne mostly keeps his muscles in his head. That's true, but they hardly got the chance to develop the character past "meathead who's only in it for the money". I'm sure they had all sorts of character arcs set up for all of them to follow. That must have been shattering, going from knowing you had a deal in place for a 24-episode season, to half way through filming an episode and being told you're cancelled, that's it, go home. edit: absolutely agree with your second and third points. The guy's a piece of poo poo. Maybe that was the payoff we lost with Firefly being cancelled, him going out by accidentally shooting himself in the ballsack while sitting down on the toilet or something.

Comic books never get that poo poo together. Sometimes it's the hairs, sometimes it's just some sort of uncanny molecular attraction that is so strong that if a superstrong dude tried to unstick him, chunks of the surface he was sticking to would break off before being able to pry him off

I distinctly remember a shot from the 2001 Spider-Man where Peter looks at his hand and it zooms in really close and we see these little barbed hairs coming out of his fingers. I remember it because I thought it was gross as hell.

I don't know if he can still do it but in the comics he could have anything stick to any part of him for a while. Like, if someone was holding on to his back he could use his super sticking to keep them there or he could keep his mask on by sticking it to his neck if someone tried to take it off.

Superman wearing his suit at all is stupid, because he's so fast he could see a mugger pull a trigger, run home, change, make his spit curl, come back, and still have time to read a book before stopping the bullet. Same with The Flash.

I don't think Flash DOES wear his suit under his clothes does he? On the occasions where he needs to do something at short notice he generally does it so fast that no one sees him anyway.

The Flash runs home, has a poo poo a shave and a shower, has a light snack and checks his email then puts on his costume and tends to the emergency. That's how fast he is.

In the comics, Quicksilver (Marvel's Flash ripoff) says that every day of his life is like waiting in an excruciatingly slow line at the DMV. Like imagine you're that fast and sitting down for a movie, it's probably a torturous waking nightmare. I imagine Flash's life can be very similar.

One of my favorite moments from season 2 was when Flash was running around the building, building up speed to do this big lightning bolt attack, and it turns out the dude (ZOOM) he was fighting with was just way way way faster than him anyway. It means that while ZOOM was all charged up and waiting for Flash to actually do something, it means he was just kinda standing there and watching Flash basically slowly jog in a big circle.

Really interested to see if they show something like this in the comics when Zoom presumably encountered Dr Manhattan and lost his loving mind before "dying".

There was a Dexter's Lab cartoon about that. He has 30 seconds until the school bus arrives so he uses one of his inventions (a helmet that slows down time) to give himself 30 minutes, except it just makes everything else go slower. Tries pouring milk into his cereal and has to take bites out of it when it gets stuck halfway between the carton and his bowl.
