Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The Event Horizon becomes a tourist trap. Show me my dead loved ones, hell ship! Reminds me of the hilarious bit in Hellraiser 2 where The Priest gets all excited that Kirsty is in his realm only for her to spurn him again and he just gets frustrated with her for teasing him because why is she even IN his dimension then? Just his little thing where he's like "First you didn't know what it was, this time you didn't open it, excuses excuses!" He's so needy. Just like "C'mooooon. It'll be fun. You'll have fingers in many different pies, eyes everywhere, you can be all ears! Just think of the PUNS!" I do like his line too where he's like "Go on then, explore the maze! You'll have all eternity!" Apparently in the comics she actually does eventually take him up on the offer and becomes Queen of Hell but I don't know the context there. I guess Pinhead just pesters her for years until she agrees.

Hey now, it was the female cenobite that was saying "How many times are you going to open the box and immediately regret it?", Pinhead was just egging her and Kristy on.

Cowslips Warren posted:you know, Hazbin Hotel looks interesting. the concept seems fun, demons trying to save the damned souls from permanent deletion but....the loving animation style is so horrible I can't watch it for more than a minute. I agree and I can't seem to put my finger on why. They all just look so busy and have too big of facial features and just have too many bits of hyper brightly colored detail or something. Like the goal was to reinvent the ease of OC creation aspect of the Homestuck troll fandom somehow. I love the voice cast so I'm gonna give it a try anyway.

Original modrons rule. One minute you're fighting demons in a classic hellscape, then one random portal later you're being attacked by fundamental shapes with cartoon faces on the side like you accidentally wandered into the wrong neighborhood in the Phantom Tollbooth.

Phanatic posted:Were there any dodecahedron modrons? Sadly no. Only two of the original modrons were dice shaped, and while yes, those are the two you'd be most likely to fight, the rest get weird. Quadrones are cubes and tridones are tetrahedrons. But duodrones were originally rectangular prisms so not a die (more like a domino), monodrones are spheres, and as you move up into the high ranking ones they start being shaped like heaps of gears, starfish on legs, and even weirder spheres. theironjef has a new favorite as of 03:58 on Feb 8, 2024 |

So you can get amazing poo poo like Mandy or Bad Lieutenant or "Not the bees in my eyes!" But if a Nick Cage movie is bad, it is *not* because of Nick Cage.

It helps to have a director who knows how to use him, like in Colour out of Space where he has some weird moments early on like "You have to be very gentle with... the bewbs" but only goes full Cage when the character's corruption is turning him into his abusive father.

Nick Cage goes 110% in every single movie he does. And so for that I got a respect the man. My mom is still finishing northern exposure, and they had one of those silly little flashback episodes where all of the modern day characters are now different people in the past, but there was an actual really nice scene where an older gentleman in this wild west frontier Alaskan town approaches a younger woman, (in the basis of the show it's kind of creepy because she's like barely 20 and he's in his 50s or 60s) and she tells him very quickly that she likes him, but she can't be with him because she's a fallen woman, a floozy, a Jezebel, and she's rather upset about it. But instead of shaming her, the guy makes a very kind of cute and funny speech that if you have a toothache, you don't go to the dentist that's only ever taken care of one tooth, and you don't go to a dentist who's never pulled the single tooth in his life. You go to a dentist with lots of experience. And he's got an ache, not in his mouth but in his heart and only she can fix it. Seeing as 99% of the stories usually end with the guy freaking out that the girl's not a virgin, or comments about how she's the town bicycle, It was handled in a very cute and funny but respectful way. Iimm: similar to Ant-Man not being about the hero trying to get back with his partner, and that's the reason he becomes the hero, to prove that he's good enough for her still and that she doesn't need her new boyfriend/ husband, this little scene and this kind of silly show was the needle in the haystack, and proved that this is how more shows and movie should be about in certain issues.

When Nick Cage was voicing Into the Spider-Verse, the story goes that on the first day of taping he did a few of his lines, and the director asked for more passion or whatever. They went back and forth a couple of times until he reputedly asked, "Do you want me to go full Cage?" The director said yes, and the rest is history. I like to think he's fully self-aware. No one could be so much of an acting phenomenon without that; you'd just be an energetic Tommy Wiseau otherwise. Agreed on Ant-Man, by the way. That was refreshing, that he wasn't trying to win back his estranged wife.

Isn't that in direct contradiction to the comic book hero, though? Wasn't he a horrific abusive monster? e: oh, no, that's the older guy, the movies don't focus on him

There was one instance where he hit his wife but Iirc it was in the context of some massive character change. It got memefied into a core part of his character later on. If we want to talk horrific abusive monsters, we needn't look further than Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four. He never physically abused his wife, but he has gone above and beyond being a condescending dick to her in the best tradition of 1950's US nuclear family dads.

Supposedly it was never actually intended: the script called for Pym to wave his hands in exasperation and accidentally hit his wife without looking, and via some combination of misunderstanding the intent and trying to punch it up for drama the artist drew him straight up backhanding her face to face. Due to publishing deadlines it was determined that it would be easier to deal with the aftermath than to redo the art. (It was not, in fact, easier to deal with the aftermath of making a superhero a wife-beater.)

Doesn't help the writers want people to get over that but then also won't shut the gently caress up about it so by memes and edge addiction Pym becomes the Wife Beating Guy. Also doesn't help it was from back far enough that characters had hardly any personality traits to go around so it stuck, like Iron Man being a drunk. Mr Fantastic is a funny one since they kinda leaned into it the right way, literally every version of him besides the main one ends up turning evil. The Venture Bros riff on him is barely a parody, and he's actually one of the clear primary influences for Rick Sanchez.

Rollerball James Caan and several background teammates are just rubbing themselves without any soap in the shower. It's like they're miming the act of showering, while actually literally in the shower. Baffling.

There's certainly more than one instance of Pym hitting Jan and he's had obvious psychological problems since the Tales to Astonish days. No need to whitewash (Ant-Wash?) The MCU movies generally adapt things to be lighter and shallower than the MU. Domestic abuse changed to "oh she shrunk too much on a mission!" Alcoholism changed to the complete fantasy problem of being poisoned by the reactor in your chest.

I mean, even without the hit, the context was that he was trying to hold his wife prisoner so that she wouldn't expose his plan to use a killer robot to attack the Avengers and then 'save' them so they'd get off his back about him attacking an unarmed enemy who'd surrendered in a previous issue. So regardless of what was intended, it wasn't ever an issue that painted him in a good light.
