Who What Now posted:My BvS IIMMs are that it should have been split up into two movies. There was no reason to include Doomsday other than to have someone for Superman to punch into space, and it completely wasted his potential. Really what should have happened is that Wonder Woman should have stopped the fight between Bats and Supes to refocus them on the villain they all had a beef with, Lex Luthor. Then they save Superman's mom, capture Luthor, and the movie can end with Lex still being smug because he knows about the ticking time bomb that is the stupid loving cave troll from LotR waiting in the ship. Regarding the last part of that spoiler, Bats has killed people in pretty much EVERY live action version since Adam West. Hell, Keaton detonated a bomb in a chemical factory in the 89 batman just to take out some thugs. He detonated a clown in Returns... I think Bale probably has the smallest kill count of any Batman on the big screen.

We've also just come off the Nolen movies, especially the super-popular Dark Knight, where his "one rule" was heavily stressed. Him resorting to lethal methods in those movies came after three movies of build up and after Bruce had finally begun to let go of being Batman. I think a lot of people's issue here isn't that Batman killed, it just wasn't properly explained or set up in the jumbled rush of the movie.

The Nolan movies started off with him killing a lot of ninjas and Rahs (albeit in a big fire/explosion thing iirc), and ended with him doing the "I'M NOT GONNA KILL YA, BUT I AIN'T GOTTA SAVE YA, PEACE OUT" move in the train. Not saying his kill count was high as Adam West punching heavy water thugs or Keaton terrorist bombing a factory, but he wasn't exactly free of blood on his hands Something to help break up the black text! After watching BvS, and the upcoming Civil War, seeing the Supergirl/Flash crossover episode made me realize how much I hate these stupid grimdark OMG I HATE YOU NO I HATE YOU LET'S FIGHT superhero movies and shows. Flash shows up and it's like "OH poo poo YOU RUN FAST!" "OH SNAP YOU'RE AN ALIEN?" "OMG BESTIES LET'S GO GET DONUTS!" I really, really, really hope they start injecting some humor into the movies.

Batman doing a bunch of killing in BvS made sense to me in the sense that's he's a thinly-disguised representation of US policy. He had a strong moral code, and while he operates outside of others' laws he was fundamentally good. Then alien 9/11 occurred and his worldview of what is acceptable was shattered. He's now willing to go to extremes he would never have considered, because to him preventing another devastating attack is worth the sacrifice. Hell, those guys he killed weren't even criminals, at least as far as Bats or the audience knew. They were hired security and doing their loving job; namely stopping someone from stealing Kryptonite. But this Batman was willing to sacrifice a handful of mercenaries' lives against that of the entire world.

Mickey Rourke had a legitimate grievance and should have won in Iron Man 2. Clark Kent should have been fired for dereliction of duty halfway through BvS.

Yeah it's silly.

No, this happened when they're raiding the hospital and daredevil isn't around yet. Kinda disappointed because up until then the sound design had been impeccable, even when it wasn't the focus

And it's kinda silly that daredevil can't track them by heartbeat or by smell or even by the noise of say, the air against their bodies. They've gone to lengths to show his senses are really really good but it doesn't occur to him to use that other stuff

Smell doesn't help him tell how they're moving their limbs to fight. (Neither does their heartbeat though.)

they are magic re-animated ninjas like literally magic, of course they don't smell and can stop their hearts and slow their breathing.

Another for the Daredevil pile, but toward the end of the season before the huge climactic fight on the roof, we hear the detective dude yell something along the lines of, "And I want that roof lit up with lights here, here, and here!" when the ninjas were sniping his officers. Like an hour later when Matt and Elektra are actually fighting, it's still dark and I was expecting at least some choppers hanging around. What the gently caress were the police doing in the meantime?

I loved the poo poo out of Stargate when I was a younger fellow, but goddamn rewatching it there are endless amounts of gratuitously added guncocking sounds. Constantly! I'm not sure if this is an irationally irritating moment or a well-founded one.

Just a lot of things going on at the same time and some stuff just got dropped. The whole thing was worth it just for that scene of Matt speaking with Fisk and Fisk just loving his poo poo up. Goddamn that was amazing

People watching old sports games in movies and TV always bothers me in some way. Last night's episode of Shameless features a DePaul-Northwestern basketball game, but if you know college basketball the audio is clearly from a Duke game from several years ago (it explicitly mentions "Singler, Scheyer and Smith").

So I was watching The Princess Bride which of course is one of the best movies of all time, when I stumbled upon a minor IIMM. After the intro where we are introduced to Wesley and Buttercup and their true love, the narration goes something like this: "Wesley had no money for marriage, so he went off to seek his fortune." Now, I understand that if he doesn't do that, we don't have a movie, but what kind of money does he need? They live on a farm, which Buttercup (or her unseen family) owns, so they don't pay rent and they can feed themselves. Is the movie implying that you need a ton of money just to get married, like, paying a clergy member to marry the two of them would bankrupt them? It's just a strange thing, quickly forgotten because the rest of the movie owns so much, but it bugged me anyway.

It's based in old marriage customs where a man would have to impress a woman's father and get his permission before they could get married and no dad wants to let his daughter marry a bum. Also, it's a plot device to separate the star-crossed lovers so the story can begin.

It's almost certainly referring to a dowry as opposed to the actual costs involved in a wedding ceremony.

It just kind of went nowhere, unfortunately.

IIMM for the The Revenant: Overall, excellent movie but seriously The amount of people the Native American Chief loses in the quest of find his kidnapped daughter is loving silly. At what point does someone stand up and say "jeez Chief, we've lost like twenty people trying to find your daughter, don't you think it might be pertinent to let things rest?" . I get that some odd concept of 'honor' plays in it, but gawddamn.
