I hope he doesn't try to recut this with the serious tone of Rocky VI and the Creed movies, as good as those are. Rocky IV succeeds by being silly and 80's as gently caress. I'm not even sure you could recut it and make a not-silly version. The original is incredibly short, and that's with a shocking number of montages. (The Russia training montage is actually two montages interrupted by an extremely brief scene with Adrian. There's also a driving scene that has a montage of fight scenes from the entire series, including the fight that happened, like, 15 minutes ago. It's hilarious.)

But the fact that I didn't see Paulie's robot in this trailer has me concerned.

What is the problem people have with the robot? You give an idiot a bunch of money, sure they're going to buy a robot. I know I would!

I think it's the fact that Paulie reprogrammed it with a sexy voice, and is almost certainly loving that robot, which is an unsettling thought.

But it better be in this version of the movie.

The first thing he did was cut the robot. Stallone’s old rear end made a tweet about it

I hope they don't touch the fight though. For as goofy as the entire movie is, that final fight has incredible pacing and editing.

All 40 extra minutes of the movie should be robot. It’s a loving disgrace.

Also Drago now wins and half the crowd are wearing red hats and cheering.

Spike is canonically 27 and Jet 36, but they always seemed like 10-15 years older given their extensive life histories.

i haven't seen the show for more than a decade, but I recall Spike was not only supposed to be a universe-class martial arts fighter but also some kind of grizzled ex-yakuza AND war veteran with an inherent death wish, which is absolutely absurd for a 27 year old

Yeah, it's easily the best action-y fight of the series. Of course the 1st stands on it's own as a beautiful tale but of the sequels Drago is hands down the best and what I grew up watching every single time.

If it makes things simpler I'm reasonably certain he didn't go to college

And i think your conflating his past with vicious cause i don't recall spike ever being a veteran, just a mob heavy

There's war flashbacks in the anime. Also I think 27 is still right for a war veteran. Not to go full "actually" but lots of the WW2 big names molded by the war were pretty loving young. Dick Winters of Band of Brother's fame was 23 when he enlisted in 1941. He was promoted to major at age 27. If you assume a similar 4-5 year conflict and another 5-6 of yakuza prior and after the war you could (questionably) cram a war vet / ex-yakuza background on someone that's 27 years old.

But ultimately the answer is "lol anime" where everyone is either young or a grizzled old man about to retire or a 1000 year old dragon that looks like a kid.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Spike didn't fight in the titan war. Vicious did. Though they're the same age so the same critique applies. If you assume the war lasts for a year or 2 (or Vicious takes part in it) he'd have time to get out of the war by age 20, join up with the space yakuza and pal around with Spike for 4 years rising through the ranks. Then spike runs and meets up with Jet and the show takes place 3 years later.

The vast majority of Matt Smith's career post Doctor Who has basically been him bouncing between mega franchises and failing to stick to them.

Terminator: He was supposed to be the Big Bad of the planned trilogy starting with Genisys. Whoops.
Fantastic Beasts: Kicked out before it began at the last minute.
The Crown: Did OK. Rotating cast though, bye!
Morbius: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wouldn't be surprised if Karen Gillan had to block his calls to stop him from begging her to introduce him to Kevin Feige.

Exactly. I'm saying, don't put out a teaser until you can hype people with it. This sort of thing needs a money shot.

I think he received proper acclaim for his 2 seasons on The Crown, and he was great on it. It also opened him up to a new audience. It's the reason my mom knows who he is, for example.

But you're right on everything else. I really like him, but it is really not working out for him.
