Got the new Tomb Raider out of the library. 1. She doesn't kill any endangered species. 2. She doesn't kill any dinosaurs and/or mythical creatures Why make Tomb Raider if you're not gonna do it right? Also, protagonist is too much Katniss, not enough Lara.

But Daniel Wu blows up a guy with an under-barrel grenade launcher so it all balanced out

The 90s Tomb Raider wasn't as woke as the 2013 reboot. Can you imagine the Lara Croft with huge boobs and daisy dukes delivering food for a living.

In season 2 of Luke Cage, there's a part in an early episode where a guy manages to dislocate his shoulder with a shotgun blast but then an episode or two later, Cage catches a grenade and holds it in his hands as it explodes and it does nil damage. If it's a sharp short burst of pressure that can gently caress up a joint like his shoulder, holding the grenade as it goes off in his hands should have dislocated all of his fingers at least. Not exactly a major plot issue but irritating enough for me to notice and wonder about it.

yeah I eat rear end posted:You know, that's a fair point. But you've got to consider the odds - if you're in the woods and being hunted, it's either going to be humans, a regular predator like a bear or tiger or something, or a bigfoot/alien/whatever. The animals probably see pretty good in the dark if they are hunting, and we don't know whether bigfoots and aliens have night vision, so I'd still gamble and ditch the flashlight. I am considering the odds. Animals can't use flashlights, so diurnal animals don't hunt at night and nocturnal animals don't need lights; ditching the flashlight only hampers me, and it could even be a good weapon against night adapted vision. For anything else, they'll use a flashlight only if they need it because as much as the prey doesn't want to be seen by the hunter, the hunter doesn't want to be seen by the prey either. So the only time I should not use a flashlight is if my pursuer is using one.

It's OK, Gotham, I understand Selina Kyle -  CALL ME CAT - is going to become Catwoman without literally everything she says and does foreshadowing it.

I'm pretty sure part of the reason a lot of early CGI featured nonhuman characters front and centre is the same reason why early cartoons focused on talking animals, easier to draw and render without getting the uncanny valley effect, and way cheaper to do simply, also iconic and merchandisable. Toy Story comes to mind as the movie that basically codified the CGI kids movie and while it has human characters, Andy and Sid look probably scarier than they're supposed to, while the toys come off better because the audience expects them to have cartoony proportions and features.Mu Zeta posted:The 90s Tomb Raider wasn't as woke as the 2013 reboot. Can you imagine the Lara Croft with huge boobs and daisy dukes delivering food for a living. Haven't the new games had an outright trilogy of Lara 'becoming the Tomb Raider' now? It's like the Smallville of video games.

That was an alien tech boosted shotgun that blew him out of a second story window. Only his skin is impervious, all his insides can get real hosed up if he's not prepared. With the grenade, he was actively trying to prevent the blast. With the shotgun, he wasn't expecting it.

The runway chase scene that got added to the last part of Argo. As soon as the plane's wheels get an inch of the ground, they're home free. Fighter jets can force a civilian airliner to land and I'm pretty sure Iran had some of those in the early 80s.

There was no runway chase scene in real life either so it's a double failure.

Obviously they could have just shot it down but the fact that they didn’t means that killing them all was politically unacceptable, and that same calculus would apply to trying to force it to land, which would be only slightly less risky than just shooting it down.
