So how useful are Test audiences anyway? Most examples I read they're LCD stuff, but that one Deep Blue Sea example is one good example(which I assume is rare).

I think supa shields is just a coping mechanicsm where people think that there must be some version / counter part to nukes or whatever is the new hotness, that way war/fighting is "fair." They cant accept that destroying things is just easy.

For waht its worth its nice that Aang's no kill rule has a clear cause and effect chain that causes a problem for Korra in her series.

On the other hand, Legend of Korra has a combustion bender get killed by having a steel cuirass wrapped around her head as she's about to fire, causing her head to literally explode which is badass. That set of 4 evil benders with the murderous airbender and his combustion-bender girlfriend, the disabled waterbender who used her bending to make arm tentacles as she was born without arms, and the lava bender was a really fun arc in that season.



I remember the TVIV thread and a music gif of Rules of Nature for that kill. 10/10.

My personal theory is that people like Paul Rudd and Keanu Reeves don't age as fast because they're super laid back and are generally good people.

It's the opposite of the way being hateful ages you, as seen in prominent Republicans. I call it the Emperor effect.

I wonder what's going to happen once anything having to deal with WW2 gets out of the age bracket for Hollywood to include in their stories set in the modern day. Most "he's a war vet" stories have been moved forward to another war, from WW2 to Vietnam to the Middle East...but you can't really have someone be an Holocaust survivor in 2040+ and you don't have something that's comparable (for a white audience to care about / for a white protagonist to be a victim of) after that.

I really liked the bit at the end of the first Skrull arc where he teleports a reality nuke to "the Wastes of Nástrond" and Stark is screaming "He's just a mental patient with access to a teleporter! He's dropped it in Ohio or somewhere and we're all still going to die."

Then the bomb goes off, reality doesn't explode, and Thor stands there looking smug.

then again Ohio still exists, did they really win?

Spider-Man 2, when Dr Octavius debuts his fusion reactor and the reporter asks that weirdly specific question about ensuring the tentacle rig doesn't hack his brain. I like to think that a similar incident happened in the past that prompted this question, what with this being a scifi universe.

Also, what was going to happen if it worked? Was he just going to have to stand by and occasionally prod his miniature sun as long as it was on?

all osha laws are written in blood.

clearly the future-er one should kill the older one because the older one failing is why the future one was sent.

also my T3 IIMM is that nanomachines hijacking electronics is fine, but I dont think they should be able to hijack cars or other bigger machines because there's not enough nanos to move the physical mechanical parts.

This is absolutely a Zack Snyder kind of project.

Between that, Puss in Boots and Spider-verse it's clear that animated 'kids' movies are the only ones who remember that action scenes are fun when you can actually tell what's going on.

I think you guys are missing that I mention the section is using Celsius units. 30 C is not cold. getting back to the science vocab word salad, maybe they heard of the Kelvin scale and used it in the draft, but then changed it to C for some reason.


Also fun fact, companies that use deepsea divers find that its better for CAPITALISM if they have the divers live at pressure for a few weeks instead of wasting hours of the workday getting up to pressure and then down from pressure.

It's a feature, not a bug.

Well more like a workaround. Without the existence of Zion the Matrix will crash. They're on version 6.0 and still haven't resolved the issue, the only workaround is to do a hard reset every now and then.

Though one thing I wondered-during that reset phase there's only a handful of living people in existence. What do the machines do for juice until the population bounces back? Archetect says there are means of survival the machines are willing to take but I'd imagine it would take centuries for the population to recover.

they have really good UPS.

SHIELD is able to use its supa tecno panopticon to trace Stan Lee having a bad south american soda that has a drop of hulk blood all the way back to Banner.

Also its funny how pre smartphone movies overestimate the competence of the panopticon or hacking in general.
