Zaphod42 posted:The Iron Man villains were all massively mishandled. Jebediah Stone was actually okay (first film was also the best) but then Whiplash? Ehhhhh. The Mandarin? The reversal was cool but left us with no real villain. Capitalism! The military-industrial complex! I've posted about it before but the general plot of IM3 makes no sense (in the context of the wider Marvel Movie world). So this guy is setting up bombings around the world to make people all afraid of terrorism so the government will throw tons of money in contracts at him. This is somewhat recently after straight up no bullshit Aliens invaded New York. Scratch your terrorism plan, walk up to the Pentagon saying "Hey I've got a halfway decent super soldier program with a few kinks to work out." and the DoD will hand the villain the biggest blank check in the history of the universe because holy poo poo ET just leveled half of Manhattan and we need more than one Captain America. The whole firebreathing thing is just a bonus.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I thought the bombings weren't so much set up as much as people with Extremis were already exploding and the bombing story was just to cover up Extremis's flaws, so that he could get the government contracts without them saying "woah, we don't want something that makes our soldiers blow up"? My take on it was that the bombings were opportunistic cleanups of the people who had taken Extremis and couldn't handle it. Make them go boom in a way no one knows what the gently caress just happened, and make them blow up in places where it'll further the general cause. I was just assuming that the whole 'people turning into suitcase nukes' thing would be covered under the 'minor kinks to work out' aspect of it. Like, at least it's not making GBS threads out more Hulks that we can't loving deal with, these guys just explode once* and problem solved! *Ideally, y'know, next to a pile of Skree or Loki or something we want to blow up.

Pope Corky the IX posted:That's half of what I was getting at. In-universe, it's weird that they'd call attention to the drum in the event of the truck being pulled over (and trucks displaying DOT hazard placards get pulled over constantly) by using a pathetically incorrect label. In terms of the show, again, it's weird that they went out of their way to have the truck placard be 100% correct and the drum label be 100% incorrect. Maybe they didn't go out of their way to get a correct truck and just called up an actual hazmat transport company and asked to use one of their trucks in a scene. Then loaded up their props dept supplied barrel and there you go. I mean, maybe some intern dug through DOT regs to come up with all the right placards and signs for the truck and then decided to look at some porn when it came to the barrel, but it could be more mundane than that.

Something about Avengers: AoU just didn't hook me nearly as much as the first. Maybe it's because I'm not in the know with the comic storylines, but Tony Stark creates Skynet just left me all  James Spader did kill it in the role, though. All the characters were spouting off witty bits here and there and it really felt like any one of them could've said some of the lines without making a difference. In Avengers it at least felt suited to the characters, like with Cap's "I got that reference!" line. And Black Widow really, really wanted some big green weenie. It just felt hamfisted.

Gorilla Salad posted:In Age of Ultro,n did I completely misunderstand it when they were examining the gem from Loki's staff and said it contained an AI? The whole 'sufficiently advanced technology will look like magic to those who don't know better' idea, I'm guessing. Its a magic staff that spreads doubt and discord, can mind control fools, and shoot laser beams and and. But it actually has a big AI in it that makes that all happen? Or the infinity stone contained within is both a source of crazy power and has an AI stored in it because. Oh wait, its the Mind Gem right? So its has a synthetic mind in it  Guess I'll spoiler that but I don't know why.

Yeah if anything the launch crews might think "Oh the aliens are back, time to gently caress em up" or "The Hulk finally lost it", they'd probably have no idea about the whole Ultron ordeal. Along with the whole "Launching these is your job, the decision has been made by the people in charge, press the big red button." thing.

Or maybe he was such a cheap bastard he didn't want to sign the death warrant for his entire dinosaur park without at least trying the IT crowd approach first. The whole cheap bastard bit is backed up by other parts of the movie ala: Newmann stealing the eggs to sell for fat stacks o cash. ...which may not have been viable with this whole lysine thing. I wonder if he knew about that.

The holes look to be a reasonable size for 00 buck, I'd say. Of course there aren't enough of them. Typically slugs have a green shell, like in the picture Gorilla posted. The JP screenshot is dark so it's hard to tell buuut they look red. But it's a movie so they probably just grabbed whatever prop shotshells the armorer had, regardless.

Now, that money probably could have been more practically spent on an automatic recall/autopilot system for the gyroballs when, say, Godzilla v0.25 gets out and they hit the big red EVAC button.

TFA's political situation makes a little more sense when you remember that the Senate was only dissolved at the beginning of ANH. All the politicians were still alive and kicking, probably bored as poo poo, when the Republic was formed post-Jedi and were more than happy to get back to work and sit around fighting over the size of the Alderaan survivors relief fund and how it'll get disbursed for the next 30 years (or the same-old same-old bickering and wheeling and dealing that gets no-where) while the remnants form into the First Order and build a doom planet. It just goes to show how much more productive authoritarianism is

Tunicate posted:Well from a physics pov the hover part wouldn't necessarily have to use energy if it was just keeping the speeder at a constant height. Like putting something on a table doesn't drain the table's batteries. Personally I assumed the speeder was a little front heavy, having that huge blob out front that meant it would roll over backwards like any old tractor/4-wheeler/whathaveyou going up too steep an incline unless Rey was to back it up the hill, which would just take more time that hiking up there so fuckit let's walk

Movies with terrible sound design/balance and the trend for.. I'm not sure what to call them, aural or throbbing kinda sound tracks? The latest offender was Sicaro, the dialogue was super quiet while the tension building doomy soundtrack in other scenes was obnoxiously loud. My fault for trying to watch it on an airplane but I couldn't hear people talk without turning the volume up enough for the scene changes and soundtrack to blow out my eardrums. Had to give up on it not even halfway through.
