In the movie Darkman, the problem facing Liam Neeson is that the synthetic skin he's developed is perfect but dissolves after it's exposed to sunlight for a certain amount of time, but at the start of the movie it appears that it lasts indefinitely in the dark. When he's skulking in his underground lab being crazy, why does he never wear a mask and pair of gloves made from his fake skin, when the sight of his disfigurement causes him so much trouble?

Maybe he doesn't want to waste a rare commodity that takes a lot of time to synthesise?

Why didn't darkman just slap on a lot of sunscreen to get it to last longer?

99 minute time limit felt kind of arbitrary considering he was in various light levels; outside, in artificially lit places, during cloudy days, etc.

I can forgive a lot of his missteps in that movie because he's still a kid getting used to being a full-blown superhero. His first and only thought was "keep him from escaping" and that's his go-to move for that. It'll be interesting to see if Marvel writes him actually learning and growing from these experiences.

My slight irritation from that movie was his almost complete lack of Spidey Sense; just seemed like way too much stuff took him by surprise. Maybe they'll develop that too, they alluded to it in the Infinity War trailer.

Henry Hill is not what you would call a reliable narrator. Look at his dispute with Jimmy over the guns, or his narration when Pauly cuts him off. His narration is of what his character wants to convey, not an uninvolved announcer. Discrepancies between that narration and reality are not only expected, they're common in the film.

Hill's narration is an example of both.

The idea that show not tell automatically means all voice-overs are indicative of garbage filmmaking is my IIMM.

I kind of get this one a bit. I mean, there's like a handful of actual superpowered people in the MCU up to the point that the Inhumans start popping up in Agents of SHIELD, so it's generally pretty unlikely that any one person has actually got them. In AoS once people start getting Inhumaned though, they do seem to take any indication of powers at all a lot more seriously.

Sure, kinda. Except they say it with the tone of impossibility. Like it's completely implausible. Like nothing of the sort has ever even happened before.

Yeah, I think about it and it's people giving someone poo poo for saying something outlandish. Especially if they're the type of person to constantly be inventing stories about themselves, poo poo. 'Oh great, now Tony's got powers apparently. Hey, look out, don't ask him to pay off his bar tab, he might throw a hammer through your car! Shut the gently caress up, you idiot.'

Thor, God of thunder. Had hammer. Makes lightning.

Loki Liesmith - makes illusions, lies a lot.

Hel, God of death. Makes swords. Swords for days. Did some terracotta warrior zombie thing once, but mostly swords.

Maybe she just hadn't drawn enough power from asgard, the source of her power.

I had forgotten about the axe. It did not seem as effective as gun.

I assumed it was spelled the same and that's just how you're supposed to pronounce it :shrug:

Also: why were the viking god women at the start freaked out by the gross dragon head. I'm not racist, but IMO literally the people that viking gods are would be all :black101: about their warrior-prince returning through a magic portal with the head of a giant monster. I thought that would be the joke.

Not all Asgardians were "gods". Some are just normal people, and presumably the Norse didn't see many of them.

Let me introduce you to ALL BLACK THE NECROSWORD



quote:

When Galactus returned to Earth to finally devour it, King Thor used All-Black the Necrosword to defeat him.[4] After their battle, King Thor gave Galactus leave to consume Mars and while Galactus was devouring it, the black blade, that Galactus (and probably King Thor and his granddaughters as well) believed was destroyed, manifested itself inside the Devourer of Worlds, turning him into the Butcher of Worlds.[5]

During the Butcher of Worlds' battle against Ego, All-Black the Necrosword was absorbed by the Living Planet, transforming him into the Necroworld. Soon afterwards, Ego proceeded to devour Galactus, finally making him pay for all they planets he destroyed.[6]

Thor is so over the top good.

I vaguely remember the opening parts of the first Thor movie where they're all fighting and drinking and reminiscing about fighting and if that's not what everyone in alien viking god heaven is like then comics are worse than I thought they were. Also it would've been funnier IMO.

I hope they have spaceships and superlasers and all that and just thought it would be cooler to send valkyries on flying horses into the prison dimension to fight the sword god.

There's an episode of Agents of Shield where they find some random asgardian, who deserted from the Asgard army centuries ago to hang out on Earth, since he was a shitfarmer who got conscripted. Better to hang out where he was massively superhuman and not someone's serf.

I just went to a 30th anniversary screening of Predator, and the biggest crowd lol of the night was Poncho's response to the "Ain't got time to bleed" line. He just pauses for the perfect comic beat and drawls out a skeptical "okayyyy" and he sells the hell out of it
