well why not posted:

Vin says they're still waiting for someone, then an R34 GTR shows up at the house. The also, earlier, say that all their kids are in the safest place they can be - WITH BRIAN. I want to see the movie where Paul Walker does daddy day care the rowdy F&F Kids. It'd be better than this lol

That rules. I gotta say, it is nice how classy that all sounds.

Ok, so, we still need Nic Cage in the next one.

Just today I was explaining to my dad how Han wasn't in two similar explosions in the previous films, they were both the same event. Gotta love this timeline. It is fun that my parents are watching them all though.

So when does Tokyo Drift take place? 2014 - 2017? Because, visually, it is quite clearly 2006.

2013, but that fact was added late into production or possibly well after the movie came out, I'm not sure.

It's definitely a weaker entry as is Hobbs and Shaw.

I listened to Blank Check and they had already seen 9 and liked it, so here's hoping.

That was full of fun and interesting cameos. I'm going to have to watch it again before I can be sure about how I would rank it.
And cameos in both the actor sense and the character sense. It was weird how they told the story but interesting.

the ther confusing age is Han's adopted daughter, who's age is pegged to a movie that seems to have a very nebulous approach to time frames . Also, in Hobbes & Shaw Statham is like 20 years older than his sister

I loved everything about this film. Absolutely batshit but extremely fun to watch. I am thinking at this point that the next move is to reveal that out of nowhere, all of this insanity is part of the MCU project and the Loki TV series sets up the stage for Fast and the Furious: Enter the multiverse. Dom and his familia literally join the Avengers and use Iron Mans helmet as an icebucket to keep their Coronas cool. Don't tell me this couldn't happen, nothing is off the table anymore.

Works for me. I probably annoyed some people in the theater when I broke out cackling with laughter at Tej's "As long as we obey the laws of physics" line.

Thought it was kind of weird how now everything that happens to the Family is because of Mr Nobody behind the scenes. Also thought it was funny how Jakob didn't even have to wait until the sequel to get redeemed.

Part of it was that Dominic was kind of the one who had hosed up by kicking Jakob out of the family for something that really wasn't his fault. I admit that I kind of liked that part. It put it in perspective that one reason Dom hit it off so well with Brian was that all this time he'd been seeking a replacement for the brother he'd banished.

I'm waiting for it to turn out that all this stuff was some kind of game between Nobody and his secret daughter, Cipher, which will all be resolved when Dom gets them to hug it out and they all have a family bar-b-q compete with CGI Paul Walker arriving on angel wings.

Also, we learned that one reason Cipher is so scary is that she can insult you so badly that it makes you turn over control of your organization to her. Still, that Yoda burn was hilariously mean and I loved it.

I don't like that the F9 (this stands for family 9 )crew blew up that satellite so recklessly. They deffo hosed up the entire low earth orbit with that debris.



edit:

canonically now Gravity takes place in the F&F universe because this shows the inciting incident to the debris field that destroys the shuttle

Well, to be fair, Plan A was to destroy the satellite's internal electronic with the magnet and leave the satellite intact. It was only after that failed that they did the crash because at that point the choice was A) Pollute Space a little more or B) give control of all of Earth's nukes/etc to John Cena (and effectively to Cipher

Also, was Erik Magnus just sneaking and teleporting just out of frame? Because magnets don't actually work like that.

Tej had a line about how he has no idea where the bad guys got the magnets and that they're more powerful than any civilian or military magnets should be but it is never followed up on.

Yeah, but if I have a really powerful flashlight that emits super-bright light and I turn it off, it doesn't somehow suck in light from the rest of the room. The "magnets" here could suck metals to them and then shoot those metals away. Now matter how powerful a magnet is, if you turn it off the metal stuff to it just falls away, it's not propelled.

teacup posted:

Nope. Maybe in FF10.

Oh and a third bit, Otto tells Cipher that they're the "good guys" and compares his crew to the Rebels in Star Wars. There's no follow-up/justification for that. Sure, everyone is the hero of their own story, but there's no bit of "We're doing this to prevent war" or anything. IIRC even the assholes in the Hobbs and Shaw movie who were going to dissolve most of humanity from the inside out with that virus had the idea making the survivors into super-beings or something else they saw as some kind of net good. Nothing like that here.

They reversed the magnet, that's why the dial went blue instead of red.
