Banner/Hulk has astigmatism, which means that he can't 'see' magic eye pictures. This is the source of Hulk's furious, angry rage and also why he needs glasses.

"Hey, Tony, I need some glasses but I can't find any that can fit my giant Hulk face" "No problem, Bruce. We'll just scan your retinas real quick. Should only take a seco.....uhhh...Jarvis says that your eyesight is perfectly fine" "I know. I just really want to get a new look and decided to go for 'smart' in this phase of my character development." "Uhhhhhh...OK, Bruce. Well then, we'll just make a giant sized set of novelty reading glasses and get you all set here. I need to scan your head real quick and..." "Can you make me a big Cardigan sweater too? Do you think a big pipe is overkill?"

Ghost Leviathan posted:Doesn't Banner wear glasses? Given the Professor Hulk form is a middle ground between Hulk and Banner, it's possibly he still needs them. Or maybe the Hulk has also always had vision problems and Professor Hulk is just able and willing to recognise it. It'd explain a lot! We see from Ang Lee Hulk's first person PoV a few times and it's all blurry

BioEnchanted posted:I see the Hulk's physiology the same as his description of time travel's rules - "Either it's all a joke, or none of it is" I think that's my favourite line in the MCU tbh. In Thor: L&T Jane Foster is trying to explain wormholes to a kid and tells him to see Interstellar which explains it quite clearly. So I'm leaning towards joke.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:In Thor: L&T Jane Foster is trying to explain wormholes to a kid and tells him to see Interstellar which explains it quite clearly. Interstellar or Event Horizon. Anyway, I rewatched Mission Impossible: Fallout last night and while the action still remains good the movie does have the problem of acting like Ethan Hunt is literally the only person standing between civilization and disaster. Ving Rhames gives this whole speech about it and even the previously antagonistic CIA director is all "you're the only person who can stop stuff like this from happening with your special way of thinking" at the end of the movie. In fact, it was incredibly goofy to have an antagonistic CIA director who goes over to Ethan's way of thinking in the fifth movie and then do it all over again with his replacement in the sixth. Also IMF directors really need to stop going out in the field considering the last two did it and both were killed.

Ving Rhames gives this whole speech about it and even the previously antagonistic CIA director is all "you're the only person who can stop stuff like this from happening with your special way of thinking" at the end of the movie. There’s no getting away from the fact that these movies are excellent entertainment while simultaneously being a massive PR exercise for Tom Cruise. He’s the final authority on every aspect of the whole production, at least the most recent three: this gives us great stunts where you can see the crazy poo poo he’s willing to do, but also scenes where his best friend and his ex wife tell his new girlfriend he’s basically god.

Goddammit, For All Mankind. If your broken thruster takes like 30 minutes to spin your space station up to dangerous G-levels, but then when you fix it your other thrusters can spin it back down to nominal in a minute or two, then that means your other thrusters are much more powerful and you could have just used them to counter the broken one in the first place. But earlier in the episode you said that you can't do that because the broken one is more powerful.

Taeke posted:I'm watching the new Resident Evil show on Netflix and I'm decently entertained, but it does remind me of something that annoys me often in shows like this: whenever there's an infection or whatever and you can set a timer to it. Like 72 hours after being bit you turn. I haven't seen the series so I don't know if it's different from the games, but in RE they're super science engineered weaponized viruses aren't they? I mean yes, they still wouldn't work that way but they also make zombies and tyrants and stuff a virus can't do.

Phanatic posted:Goddammit, For All Mankind. I may be misremembering, but I think they had the other thrusters already burning the whole time, counteracting the main thruster to slow the rate of acceleration. So in that case it'd make sense they would be able to decelerate much more quickly once they no longer needed to fight the main thruster.

I wonder how many movies I've seen that use the pencil-through-folded-paper explanation for wormholes (or time travel or um... anything involving space and/or time I guess). I mean, I it works, right? Is there a better, more efficient way to convey the information?

Honestly I figured that scene had a joke cut where she just said "see Interstellar. Or Event Horizon. or Deja Vu. Wait who doesn't already know this?" Like generally Waititi seems pretty genre savvy, it felt weird that that wasn't a setup to a bit.

Watching Resident Evil the show on Netflix. Doesn't have anything to do with RE except for some names, but anyway. At one point Jade is having a video chat with a conspiracy guy, except the only apps open on her laptop are two instances of MS Paint and a folder. Additionally, the taskbar is telling her that she has no internet connection.

Waititi is genre savvy, but he also knows he's making a movie for people who are not necessarily savvy. He's also not making an advert for a different movie. The pop culture reference isn't being made to explain the concept, but rather to ground the movie in the real world. It's not like the end of The Italian Job where Michael Caine says "Hang on, I have an idea" but you never find out what it is. But it is like the previous sentence, where I referenced The Italian Job then organically explained why I'd done so in case you hadn't watched it.

I always liked when they very obviously had a video playing in quicktime/vlc/etc., and it including total video runtime/where the video was up to/file name, or whatever, and they were pretending it was video chat.
