Phanatic posted:Tony Stark invents a virtually limitless and almost free power source and instead of using it to, say, desalinate enough water to irrigate the Sahara he keeps it for himself as a weapon. Oh, eventually he uses it to power his corporate HQ, but Obadiah Stane is *not* the villain in the first movie. Its funny because IIRC it was a plot point that this was the reason Stark was working with SHIELD during the first Avengers and then I guess he just never tries again after?

SimonChris posted:Having watched the new Dune movie, I would like to talk about something both movies gently caress up completely: The scene where Shadout Mapes gives the crysknife to Jessica (available as a deleted scene in the Lynch movie). I watched the movie first (the new one) then went and read the novel. I don't remember exactly what I was thinking during that scene in the movie, but I did get the sense that Jessica got lucky with how Shadout Mapes reacted. It wasn't clear to me, though, whether it was pure blind luck or that she somehow knew the deal with the crysknife and was bluffing. I think I remember being confused why she waved away the guard or whatever, since it seemed like Shadout was freaking out, then when it was revealed that she was actually revering Jessica. It was like: oh, okay, I guess Jessica was just being a real cool cat who was all like "huh let's see where this goes!"

Splicer posted:The Sahara is about the size of the US and contains multiple subtle ecosystems please do not turn chunks of it into farms because films only show the dunes. Just because people aren't using a thing doesn't mean it's not doing something. It's weird that you keep insisting doing it utterly thoughtlessly is what this fake person who has endless water is going to do. Like, I promise nobody is actually about to turn the Sahara desert into endless farmland. Having a ton of extra fresh water is a net good though. I don't even remember what the initial post was about, but 'we could help Saharan farmers' seems like an okay random thought for what we could do with endless fresh water, even if nobody is busting out a detailed land management plan that conforms to your desired specifications.

Splicer posted:Becayse they refuse to just make the fantastic four. They keep trying to be clever about it and in doing so loving up the formula and also doctor doom. Yeah, like a lot of adaptations, and video games also come to mind. They regard the source material with a mix of wilful ignorance and utter contempt, with zero interest in what people actually like about it, and get high on their own farts with whatever of their own dumbass ideas they think are so much better. Also reminds me how a lot of directors don't see CGI/animated characters as 'real' and thus make a ton of rookie mistakes with them because they're not paying attention, and seem baffled that the audience doesn't agree. You had critics complaining the Sonic movies didn't have enough random wacky human comic relief.

The kinda poo poo thing about Tony is that for an industrialist, he's remarkably short sighted. The one time he decides to try and fix the whole world, we got Ultron. At that point I'd much rather have him try to fix the small problems cause trying to police the world turned into a big mess. He doesn't share his tech much though but it's not because he's an rear end in a top hat, is because it's so crazy finicky that pretty much only he knows how to use it and not die. There's a comic series where the army? starts using stark tech they copied but didn't test much and it ends up killing soldiers cause "whoops turned out after 5 mins it becomes lethal and melts your brain" sort of effects happen. Tony got pissed and the basic argument was anything he does in public is considered open for other people to copy or something to that effect. It's been a few years. He did build the original war machine and I assume the upgraded versions, help design the engines on the heli carriers, and he did give Peter his first armored suit and the training suit in the original movie. He made Hawkeye's arrows, black widow's various bits and pieces, and helped design cap's costume to be more armored than the ww2 version. Other than pepper/Rhodes I don't think he's ever let anyone use one of his suits.

I honestly think that one of the reasons most Avengers films fall flat for me is that they are constantly fighting to fix their own mess. The first Avengers was a pretty exciting event movie, and worked on the basis that it would introduce a threat so big it needed all of the heroes working together to stop it. That's some pretty good dramatic escalation. It's not a good film, but it works as a capstone. So now the Avengers are going to fight even bigger threats, right? Nope! Ultron is a gently caress up that happens because some Avengers tried to automate themselves out of a job, and the third Avengers is a slugfest about the question if they should even exist in the first place. To put it differently, as soon as the Avengers become a thing their entire reason for existing seems to be to fix the problems they themselves created. You could say it's an apt metaphor for the military industrial complex, but on a dramatic level it is really hard for me to give a drat. It comes across as cynical and arrogant. It's the Avengers, fighting something caused by the Avengers, with dramatic consequences for the Avengers. It's why the dramatic arc of Marvel feels like a soap opera half of the time. Instead of escalating the threat, it's navelgazing and biding its time until Thanos shows up. THAT'S the escalation that was needed, a threat so big it once again really required all heroes to team up. It shouldn't take a decade to finally get there.

This is going to sound stupid but its the thread for it. I found it difficult to care enough about the scope of what Thanos wanted to do until he actually did it, and then it was reversed anyway. Hes going to kill half of all life So? Havent at least half of the villains in the other MCU movies attempted the same thing? Didnt Ego impregnate hundreds of planets with his dead baby spores?

Tony Stark could probably have gotten the world carbon neutral in a decade or so with his magic power machine. Not that climate change is as pressing in the MCU as it is IRL seeing as the MCU has at least a few dozen planet Bs

It's an issue I have with a lot of comic book movies. They keep trying to make the stakes meaningful by raising them super high, but in the end it usually ends up way too abstract and obviously contrived for me to really care about. I just don't have any personal investment a group as abstract as "half of comic book humanity", doubly so since it was clearly obvious the whole thing would be reversed to get back to the holy status quo in short order. I just didn't have any personal investment in either Thanos or the people he killed. By contrast, you better believe I was very invested in seeing the guy who killed John Wick's dog get what he had coming.

Comic book stuff exists in an imaginary world where the greatest threats to humanity are superpowered villains. In that world it's logical and moral to take a potential public good like a cheap power generator and instead turn it into a gun for Captain Awesome to use on Evillo, because you're in a world where humanity's never going to get wiped out by climate change, but Evillo might do it. If you made it into a power generator Evillo would just show up and turn the thing into a bomb anyway so you weren't ever going to win with this line of thought

Gort posted:Comic book stuff exists in an imaginary world where the greatest threats to humanity are superpowered villains. In Invincible, there's a villain that is basically about destroying stuff to fix things like this, I think environmental damage is a big thing he's trying to fix, but involves, like, glassing large areas to make a solar mirror, that kind of thing (it's been a while so I don't remember details). At one point Invincible agrees with him and starts to help him, working to stop him causing casualities but otherwise proceeding forward with his plans. Invincible's handlers are not pleased.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Didn’t Ego impregnate hundreds of planets with his dead baby spores? Yea, he was going to become the universe. He was being quiet about it though. Thanos was wrecking planets and being fairly public and loud about his whole plan. I think there's a what if where it shows Ego actually winning and taking over the universe. Main diff was Ego was stealthy about his plans and told no one, even Mantis I think, and Thanos was announcing the poo poo while everyone was paying attention to him. If the guardians hadn't won, thanos wouldn't have had much of a universe left too snap on. 🫰

Every single time I see anything about House of the Dragon, it is so laughably hilarious how the same poo poo was in Game of Thrones. Black haired king has three blonde kids with his blonde wife, but all his bastards have black hair. Okay, cheating wife. In HOTD, I remember people being pissed that there were black people in the show, and they were actual dragonriders and poo poo. But the same bastard poo poo is even more obvious when a white princess with white hair "has kids" with a black prince with white hair, and all three of their kids are white with brown hair. Just like the princess' sworn guard, what are the odds. I know to take a pitcher of salt with poo poo online, but it is hilarious how the same people calling Cercei and Jamie disgusting, cheer the incest in HOTD, and the whole bastard thing is forgivable when it's not Cercei doing it.

Not like sleeping with your uncle or anything. But then things started going south because it was super obvious and the kids were being treated shamefully for the sins of the parents. Just a real downward spiral. And for safety sake I'm gonna spoiler all this. Still, looking forward to next season's dragon wars. It was never my favorite part of GoT but bring it on mofos.
