I saw one of the Mission Impossible movies just so I could see the Dark Knight Rises trailer before it. The Mission Impossible movie was infinitely better. I also went and got a sandwich after seeing The Dark Knight rises and that was also much better. Edit: poo poo snipe. Enjoy this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMtqy9_NbYg Fartington Butts fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Jan 17, 2021 |

The Dark Knight rises is dog poo poo. How do all the villains have crazy different accents despite coming from the same middle eastern village. How does Bruce Wayne lose all his money because someone stole a laptop. Why does the power company turn his power off the same day. Why didn't Batman try punching Bane's weak spot i.e. his face the first time. Don't answer because gently caress you

I've never been able to figure out the thought process of people who cast Tom Hardy in things We have the perfect actor. OK now let's have him put on 300 pounds of muscle and mask his face with a machine and have him do a clown Sean Connery impression I know he looks and sounds nothing like Patrick Stewart but if you shave his head,

I realize that description is not good, but trust me on this. *Not Mad Max. There's another movie where he's literally in a car the whole time. Edit note: It's called Locke

I’m not in any way disputing he’s a good actor, I just find it hilarious that people always seem to cast him and then like ship-of-Theseus him into something completely different

See Bronson for instance. Also I'll go down contending Bane was mostly right in Dark Knight Rises about the city being tainted by a corrupt ruling class and it was mostly Talia's solution "let's just torch the whole thing" that stopped him from being a revolutionary hero

Also tangentially related I do like how the Harley Quinn cartoon version of Bane is a mix of the comic one but inexplicably has the movie voice and some sort of crippling personality disorder That's a good show.

I just watched Pomp & Circuitry and this episode packs an incredible amount of stuff into it. It sets up a lot of the New York stuff, brings back Professor Impossible and Phantom Limb (I know he did the Revenge Society thing earlier, but this [I just got interrupted by an earthquake] episode really brings him back. And Hank trying to get into Sphinx is hilarious because he aces everything they throw at him and culminates in this line: Hank: I feel like that Jewish guy who lost all his power when they cut off his hair! Brock: Uhh... Samson? Hank: Lenny Kravitz!

I thought the stress of handling the automatic weapon and barely controlling it made him have a weird vomit-stigmata combination. Time to dig out that season, I guess. And I really like this episode. I love how they're constantly surprised that he manages to pass every single ridiculous thing they put him through. When he passes the first one, the looks on Hunter's and Shore's faces are priceless.

Hank rightly pointed out that his upbringing was insane and left him overqualified for the OSI. With basically the same upbringing but not being raised by Rusty (the second worst father in the series) Hank would have ended up a shonen protagonist.

Or in a slightly different genre, Hank certainly already has the personality. Honestly, OSI is probably one of the few things he is qualified for, makes it a little funny that it's Dermott who ended up joining up, but as I've said, that boy was born to be a shithead private. One can only imagine Dermott ending up like Usopp where he finds himself living out all his ridiculous lies.

To be a bit more specific, your average shonen hero does tend to be ridiculously good at some particularly bombastic and spectacular form of combat (or at least one the merchandise revolves around), dumb as a brick at almost everything else and often particularly socially inept, though manages to attract a large and diverse array of dedicated friends and allies despite that. The specifics vary a bit, depending on the tone and themes of the show, and obviously has some pretty close relationships to the loudmouthed brats that tend to be the heroes of western action cartoons, though the anime ones tend to actually get to win fights on their own merits. Goku's a funny example given while he's basically the main prototype for the role that everyone else rips off/modifies, he actually stands out in some of those traits not going unexamined as usual; while remaining pure of heart and having fairly subtle character development, he's not the greatest father or husband, and rather selfish and single-minded in that combat is really the only thing that particularly interests him. He'd almost be a Venture Bros take on shonen if he hadn't come first. ed: Should note that the English dubs took obvious liberties to give him heroic speeches and otherwise make him seem more like Superman, which kinda just had the effect of throwing his terrible parenting moments into sharper relief.

Slightly late to DKR chat, but my favourite part was how The Dark Knight very clearly ends with Batman taking on the role of a vigilante being actively hunted by the police like in various iterations of the comic and cartoons, then the next film opens with "surprise, he immediately gave up and moped around his mansion for several years". Also how everyone around me said no no, that's definitely what they were setting at the end of Dark Knight. Well it wasn't when I asked you a month before Rises came out you dumb turds, just admit the movie was bad.

Very Batman to give up and sulk for years. It's what he's known for. In fact his catchphrase is "I can't fight them, the grief is still too near"

Goku will spare the villain who tried to destroy the planet. Not because he has any moral qualms about killing but because he hopes they'll get stronger and come back so he can fight them again.

I know they had plenty of time, but it feels like something Nolan scrambled to put together when he realized he didn't have Heath Ledger's Joker to fall back on. They also made the worst editing decision, by cutting Gordon's trial: a deleted scene makes it clear that this is basically how trials for accused criminals worked under the Dent Act, but we can't even suggest that

A great deep cut joke in that ep that I only caught on my most recent rewatch is when Hank is making the case to join SPHINX he claims that he's "been to all seven continents, including Atlantis, Outer Space and Brigadoon!"
