Yeah but like one dog dies and he's the protector of the animal kingdom but if three die well you kinda have to ask if this dude should be owning pets lol

Exploring the unexplained bits from your successful story is sequel writing 101. The Hobbit had the magic ring, Star Wars had Darth Vader and the force, and John Wick had the secret gold coin assassin hotel stuff.

I've only seen the first one, and one of my favourite parts was all the subtle world building.

Seriously gently caress everybody who got me to watch John Wick on "he comes out of retirement because they kill his dog". No, the dog is just an item that connects him to a dead wife. This ain't some hot new take, it's the same old dead wife bullshit.

In no way does his wife’s death bring him out of retirement.

The dog might as well have been his wedding ring or a picture they took . It's lame and tired and y'all need to quit lyin, John Wick has some great fight choreography but it's just another B movie in every other regard.

The only thing that makes something a B movie is cost, and it cost a lot.

Oh sure "B movie" has never referred to the quality of writing or directing. My bad. People wanna act like it's the second coming. This is loving Boondock Saints all over again. I think it's cool that stunt coordinators are getting more respect/control in Hollywood and making the movies they want to make but I don't get the hype behind the John Wick movies.

Because a guy going on a killing spree because his dog was killed would make a movie less like a shlocky B movie, apparently. It seems really weird this specific minor point of motivation is what the quality of the entire movie hinges on for you. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Mar 21, 2019 |

And it should have been more important to the movie, like the kitten in Keanu. Edit: Actually if the pitbull is somehow his sidekick in the new one and like helps him kill dudes or reload or whatever then I'm back in. Sgt. Politeness fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Mar 21, 2019 |

If there's one thing Marvel movies nail, it's that final action scene. I'm hype for almost all of them. I think the Iron Man movies are the weakest, but even those are still pretty fun because robots. Also I just came back from Captain Marvel and it was very good. I really wasn't sold on Brie Larson in the previews, but it all came together really nicely and I loved the chemistry she had with Sam Jackson. I want a sequel where it's a buddy cop movie set in space with the two of them.

zoux posted:Top three action scenes/set pieces in the MCU, go: There aren't many to choose from tbh. They're all mostly mediocre, gimmicky and/or boringly shot, with Black Panther having probably the worst action of them all. My top 3 would probably be any fight from Winter Soldier in the top 2, you can mix and match whatever from there, and then I guess it's a toss up between the Bucky/Cap vs Stark fight and the segment of the Titan fight between Dr. Strange and Thanos for the 3 spot. Those were the only ones that stuck with me.

I thought the CG in black panther was particularly bad so my favorite action scenes are the two shirtless waterfall fights.

Anyone know what song was playing when Miles and Aaron are in the subway tagging the wall? According to google it says its Buss This, but I KNOW I heard samples of Black Sheep's The Choice in it, but Buss this does not have any of that in it. It's also got that amazing Bongo Band sample as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeTSVWD_8Y4

Every marvel movie ships out the CG to like a billion different studios so pinning the blame would take like a 10 year investigation.

The other night I rewatched Spider-verse for the second time but in 4k and all I want to do is rewatch it a third time. It's climbing the charts of my favorite movies period, not even just sitting atop the comic book genre for me. So good.
