You aren't alone in this. Dammit I just realized the dude who played the Asian cop in Genesys want the same dude who played Jimmy woo in the MCU and now I feel dumb and racist.

The Last of Us Episode 3 Why is Bill, the survivalist, capable of laying traps and possessing an entire armor of weapons, standing in the middle of the street to engage in a firefight with a bunch of raiders? I understand he might want to draw fire away from the the house with Frank inside, but you can also accomplish that with a machine gun in the second floor of another building. Great episode otherwise.

BiggerBoat posted:Now I want to see 2 Terminators programmed with martial arts skills and loving each other up MMA or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style The closest thing you're gonna get is an episode from the 1960's Avengers tv-series, that specifically inspired the Terminator the movie franchise. Episode is called The Cybernauts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cybernauts and mostly holds up if seen with fresh eyes today.

The original UFC tournament was kinda that, nowadays pure BJJ is less popular but you definitely need some kind of grappling to compete at high levels.

OG jiu-jitsu has swords and nunchucks and whatnot which is probably not very practical but looks cool.

It makes some sense that terminators wouldn't have any intelligent way to break each other. 10. THROW TARGET THROUGH WALL 20. GOTO 10 would work pretty well for everything they're designed to fight

Foxfire_ posted:It makes some sense that terminators wouldn't have any intelligent way to break each other. In T2 the T1000 knew exactly where to impale Arnie to knock out his primary power supply, so it's assumed they have an idea of each other's weak points. Using acid to melt the T100 in the other sequel was creative but it would have been a more entertaining throwback to douse it in liquid nitrogen, shatter it, then just microwave the little pieces afterwards or something.

For how good he was at hypoteticals (IE: set up the preppy bunker, built a fortress), he has been shown to be bad at handling people every single time - heck, he immediately invites Frank, the first person who fell into one of his traps, inside...voiding most of his previous preparation.

BiggerBoat posted:I watched Glass Onion and it was pretty decent but I thought that the ending basically being reduced to a revenge fantasy instead of a clever "just one more thing" moment from Blanc in a whodunnit film was a little unsatisfying Yeah, but as was pointed out, he could only show the truth, not bring about justice. The only way justice could be performed was by Helen acting out as she did, because the only other witnesses would just clam up and refuse to incriminate the big bad. I mean, I do think it was much more farcical than the first one, and not as good, but I thought it was perfectly fine.

Pilchenstein posted:The vibe of that scene is celebrating her victory against the odds and the obvious implication of the gun is that the predators come back and murder her for it, which kind of dulls the mood and goes against the ending of the film it's directly referencing, where they give that gun away as a prize for beating one of their own in a fair fight. It is, as it says above the door to this thread, a tiny thing that it's irrational to be irritated by Maybe she gives it to them as a consolation prize after kicking their rear end again

I mean, technically it can mean that either she, or one of her tribe was worthy of a hunt and passed it along as a treasured keepsake. Doesn't really mean she gets hunted and died, just means someone in her tribe went up against em and put up a hell of a fight. Yea it's not fantastic options but it's not the ONLY thing it can mean.

I just watched the new Antman. I like to have fun, so I let a lot of poo poo slide, and it is pretty fun. The part that got me though was in the credits scene: When they have all the Kang variants in some temple, it feels very "Council of Rick's". I'm sure someone is going to let me know that is what R&M was spoofing in the first place, but it was still the first thing I thought of and it made it feel very hokey.

There is an equivalent in the comics but IIRC in that case it’s actually just the same Kang from different points of his very long timeline
