Morpheus posted:Uh, this is a guy who specifically says, and I quote "They got my dick message!" This is exactly why it works. Character development isn't just an instant transformation into a different person. Peter's efforts are towards being a better person and a hero, and even when saving an entire planet at the end of the film, he's still kind of an immature jackass because change happens slowly. He's getting there, they're all getting there, but no one's perfect.

Slim Killington posted:No, that's why the "dick message" line works. The last one occurs at too important of a plot point and ruins both. The addition of that part neither improves the moment, sharpens the dialogue, or adds to character development -- you can remove it entirely and not only not have the climatic moment changed, but be intact with more focus on it without the addition of something silly to it. There's no case in which removing that doesn't improve the scene. I don't think it harmed the scene at all. It works (to me) in the context of Peter being so jazzed up on finally beating the bad guy that he just says the first cool-sounding thing that comes to mind, and because he's still kind of a jackass, that's what it is. He's a better person than he was at the beginning of the film, but he's still kind of an idiot because he's not done growing. I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.

JebanyPedal posted:In Lethal Weapon Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are both at the shooting range, Danny Glover is supposed to be the alright shot with Mel Gibson being the fantastic paragon of all shooting. Except Danny Glover doesn't flinch or blink when he shoots and Mel Gibson seems to spaz and shut his eyes with every shot, it's retarded. Murtaugh is lying about his skills in an attempt to make his mentally unstable partner feel better.

Wasn't the Event Horizon's engine like a super weird thing that everyone but Sam Neil thought was hosed up? It's been a while since I've seen it, but I swear there was a scene in the engine room where someone was like "What the gently caress is that thing?"

Winston has no control over the bounty, so even if he lifted the excommunication tons of assassins with more ambition than sense would be after John. Plus, the spooky High Council is pissed at John, so presumably they could make things a lot worse for Winston if he did that, marker or no marker. Santino tried to push Winston around and failed, but if the actual Council came down on him, we don't know what would've happened. So turning in that marker and asking Winston to make it all go away probably would've only bought John a few days of hotel service while being shot at.

Antman and the Wasp is a okay movie but one thing kept bugging me about the central conflict. So, the villian is like "I want to use your big machine to find Janet" and the heroes are like "We want to use the big machine to find Janet" and the villain goes "I'll kill you!" and the movie moves on. They both want the same thing, and at the end, they both get what they want because it was the same thing the whole time. The only one who seems to notice this is Lawrence Fishburn, because he has like two scenes where he's like "Wait, we're all running around doing the same thing" but Ghost always interrupts him before he can fully put it together. It ends up with Walton Goggins feeling like the real villain because his desires are directly opposed to those of the heroes. I think he even has more lines than Ghost. Also the end stinger was dumb. Does the dude in charge of Marvel's film division really hate The Wasp or something? Because she's appeared in two movies and died three times.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Ant Man/Wasp The main conflict is: Main guys, "we want to find Janet." Bad guys, "We want to find Janet and suck her life force to heal Ghost, don't care if it kills her." Good guys: "We can maybe do it without killing her." Bad guys: "I don't give a gently caress, it's my money and I need it now!" But in either case, they needed to use the same machine to do the same thing: find and retrieve Janet. The life-sucking machine is never explained or really pointed out. They just take the stabilization chamber and quickly say "By the way, this is a vampire box now" to create peril for three seconds before the heroes disable it. When it started killing Janet before they even got back to the real world, I was super confused because nothing indicated Ghost could do that until she did. The plot would work better if they were working together until Ghost turns on them at the very end. It would also allow them to give exposition about Ghost in a more organic way than having Lawrence Fishburn sit everyone down and explain her to them. Then again, I only kinda remember the bad guy from Antman 1 so maybe Pym and the crew just have bad luck getting interesting baddies.

Scoobynatural sucks because of that scene where they explain that ghosts and goblins are real and the gang reacts with shock and horror. Except the gang already learned that the paranormal was real in Scooby Doo on Zombie Island! They didn't need some Johnny-Come-Lately CW dweebs to tell them that!

I still don't understand why that movie, which seemed perfectly happy falling into the cornball niche of the old show, decided it needed a "leaked nudes as revenge" subplot in the third act.

Firefly's villains mostly fit into a solid theme of the shady underdogs vs the greedy establishment, and the Reavers hosed all that up by just being useless space-orcs. At least they killed Wash and allowed Alan Tudyk to distance himself from Whedon.

And uh even if they hadn't killed Wash how would that have had any bearing on Tudyk and Whedon's relationship, the show had already been canceled for two years at that point? In my defense, I forgot that Dollhouse existed just like 90% of all people.

The T1 Terminator was a bad guy so he smelled bad. The T2 one was a good guy so he smelled fine. This is classic narrative structure, as seen when Homer described Odysseus as "a whiff of that good smell" but referred to Scylla "the big stanky-rear end squid".

The show is 50 episodes long and they crack that number by both the hero and rival having loads of girlfriends who get killed in the crossfire to drive up the angst.
