oldpainless posted:Thanos is the 2nd best film villain of all time, trailing only Morris Day from Purple Rain. From a long way back, but you are objectively wrong. And as someone on the internet I must pedantically and humorlessly correct you. All villains you name are fine and dandy, but the best villain in movie history is now, and always will be Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

I think it got brought up that there's a show Leftovers which is almost exactly this, though with a much smaller percentage of the population disappearing.

It just feels like a much better choice. He was also more at peace no longer being a brainwashed soldier with somebody pulling the strings. He’s also less interesting when fighting aliens just using a rifle and a knife. Sam has flight and whatever weaponry he can stuff into his gear.

The best bit of IW is Bucky recreating the moment of Rocket being carried by Groot while shooting wildly. Dude sees a talking racoon and doesny even flinch

Is Endgame the only movie out right now? Because holy poo poo. Every thread is nothing but black bars. I feel like I SHOULD feel that I'm missing out on something. Contribution: In every boxing or fighting movie, the fighter with the shittiest low budget gym and prehistoric training methods always wins. This is not only just true for Rocky and Creed movies. Also, thanks to the thread for turning me on to the "We Hate Movies" podcast because those dudes are great and have been getting me through some tough work shifts lately. Irritating that some of the ones I really want to listen to (JAWS: The Revenge and Jurassic World) are behind a paywall but of all the "Make fun of films on the internet" guys out there, they're by far the funniest. Even when they bust on good movies they're hilarious.

I'm irritated that the infinity stones are apparently only used by literally snapping one's fingers, to the extent that physically holding Thanos's fingers apart briefly prevents him from using them, rather than "with a snap of my fingers" being, like, a metaphor for "it would be easy".

I didn't really get the impression that anyone aside from Thanos knew how to use them so everyone copying how the guy who knows what he's doing does seems like pretty standard stuff to me.

They also mention to make sure he doesn't close his fist in Infinity war so he can't use stone powers. But purple boi is so swole I don't think it really mattered, and it was hard to tell when he was just toying with them or going all out. Like their first attempt to get the gauntlet off him by putting him to sleep could've been the equivalent of a dad play fighting with a bunch of toddlers.

I mean specifically using them all together, for their Final Ultimate Power. I would figure that gaining mastery over time, space, reality, etc would make you regular old omnipotent, or at least generally pretty powerful, but instead it seems to grant this very specific power of "snap your fingers to delete or un-delete arbitrarily large groups of organisms across the universe". I guess you could say that since Thanos always had that particular goal in mind and wasn't interested in power in general, he had the gauntlet made to only do that specific thing with the stones and Tony just copied the design when he made his version.

BiggerBoat posted:Contribution: Hell, I've read several different books that have had tough female protagonists, and at some point we learn that they went to learn to fight at the state of the art gyms, but are always rejected by the fighters because they were women, so they then seek out run down, basic, hole in the wall gyms, and while the fighters there are dubious of them at first, when the women show how tenacious they are, they're treated like "one of the guys".

The montage in Rocky Vs The Soviet Union where they intercut plucky millionaire Rocky Balboa training with primitive tools in the mountains with Drago training in an ultra high tech Soviet laboratory is pure cinema. And also seemingly a visual argument for the Soviets being superior to America.

To be fair it kind of makes sense. Fighters get rich and content versus their scrappy opponents who are giving it all they’ve got. Think a Buster Douglas versus Mike Tyson. But Rocky 4 was just stupid. It was very 80’s in that everyone thought Russia was a lot more advanced than they really were.

Yeah it's basically the only movie out because everyone else won't release anything the same week. I didn't ask "WHY?" you dinguses and I know the loving thing is gigantic. I realize that. I'm just stunned at it's sheer dominance and total stranglehold on public discourse, even across every thread I follow - a lot of which aren't comic book or movie related - and making a joke about how the entirety of the forums look like this Endgame Spolier Endgame Spolier Endgame Spolier Endgame Spolier Endgame Spolier Endgame Spolier . TDK didn't even do this. It's utterly amazing. "Irrationally irritating", if you will, since I'm not really hyped and everything I try to read here is covered in electrical tape because of it. If you don't mind, I am trying to be irrational here.

I suppose, yeah, but a lot of poor, hungry up and comers got the living poo poo beat out them by Mike Tyson and Muhammed Ali for a good when they were on top while just the same. Double post but Karate Kid is another "cheap training" examples. Skinny poor kid learns how to kick rear end by painting fences, clipping trees, standing on a rowboat and washing cars. If doing chores and menial tasks were roads towards martial arts mastery, I'd be Bruce loving Lee right now.

In Civil War, the aggravating incident that sets the film in motion is nothing. This dude's going to blow up a big bomb in the middle of a crowded marketplace next to a highrise. Scarlet Witch throws him straight up in the air, and he blows up next to the building's upper floors, killing some people in the building. But if he'd just blown up on the ground, way loving more people would have died. And since he was still right next to the building, the whole thing might have collapsed. This was a trolley problem, and she saved lives. But everyone in-universe acts like this was some horrific, unjustifiable thing she did. I get that politically it was a bad thing no matter what, but even in the internal discussions not a single Avenger says "You saved a bunch of lives. You did everything you could do. You did the right thing." Phanatic has a new favorite as of 03:39 on May 4, 2019 |

I think it’s similar to The Incredibles or Alex Ross’ Kingdom Come in that people blamed the superheroes for being there in the first place. Like if they weren’t there the battle wouldn’t have happened. So even if they saved lives in the aggregate, people just see dead Wakanans.

When people split up. The hills have eyes: Guess how you all live? You all get out of the car and walk back to the gas station. Use the guns you have and steal the attendant's shotgun after he's done offing himself on the shitter and get out of there. Don't shelter in place when even if it wasn't a horror movie any reasonable person would know they are in one. Shady gas station attendant gave you directions and you ended up stranded? Come on, you know what's going on. Get out of there.
