It's weird that in our old age home that will be the common denominator for my generation. Or the skydiving and bank robbery in Point Break for our older brothers. Keanu has blessed us for 40 years now.

That Kingsman scene has an inversion of one of my irrationally irritating movie things - Colin Firth's gun has the amount of ammo in it they say it has earlier in the film. He fires the correct number of rounds before it runs dry and he has to reload. It's very satisfying.

Fatty Crabcakes posted:Seriously. I'm lukewarm on comics in General and Spiderman is on the bottom of my list, but Spiderverse was good, even though I didn't really like how they did Kingpin. The Kingpin design was taken straight from Bill Sienkiewicz's rendition in Daredevil: Love & War.   I love Bill Sienkiewicz's art so it was a great callback for me. That said I understand if that design doesn't float your boat. We can like different things!

I was very thrown by Kingpin talking like a mafioso but apparently that's taken from a real comic run as well.

Eggsy didn't pass the trials but is given all the power in the plan to save the world while the much more competent candidate who did pass the trials spends most of the movie off-screen and in space because she's the girl. There's one other woman in the movie and she's just there for an anal sex joke.

Kingsman: The Secret Service is based of a Mark Millar comic, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the story will be misogynistic & mean-spirited.

He definitely tries to rape her in the movie too even though it's played off as a joke. The entire kickass 2 is a LITERALLY A BIRD posted:Rationally Irritating Mark Millar Moments ...like how could they suddenly forget everything about the first movie that made it good? Were there really people out there clamoring for the sequel to be more dark and ~tWiZtEd~? Could have been decent if they hadn't made mclovin a rapist, got rid of the weird semi-romantic subtext with Mindy/kickass, not introduced that giant russian lady and the rest of his gang, and made the plot entirely different. So basically throw it all in the trash, where it belongs.

Not only that, they brought back Firth in the most disappointing way possible, almost as if it was a joke on the audience. They were like, ok you all said you didn't want a sequel without him, well be careful what you wish for, he's back but he's got amnesia for 3/4 of the movie!

Although, since it's a Disney thing I guess they kinda do in a loose 'by association' way.

Alan Smithee posted:the comic is worse apparently. Iirc mclovin character implies they are going to gangrape her mouth. It's implied they do Ugh. I was okay with Wanted until they tried to pull that Millar in the final scene. "What the gently caress did you do today???" Even as a dumb teenager it was bullshit and not cool because he didn't do anything either. He was found, trained, then pointed in the right direction for the plot. drat did that attempt to sound cool fail so hard to me. That movie was so forgettable but the shock of that last line means I'll remember and hate it for far longer than many good films. I should have forgotten it donkeys ears ago but it just sucked so hard that I can't. It's almost impressive. E: Oh I meant to ask why we call his characters McLovin? Is that a thing (?) cause it works and I approve.
