In the first Thor movie, it opens with a shot of Tønsberg, Norway ca 900 AD where we were apparently invaded by frost giants until Odin and his crew showed up. Immediately after this we are shown Thor and Loki as children, so they were not a part of Odins gang at the start. But Thor and Loki have by that point been established as norse gods for well over a thousand years  my immersion!

Slime posted:I think the idea was to basically use them to kill everything on the whole drat planet. Presumably the xenos would die after they killed everything, or W-Y would develop some sort of control system to kill them off once they were done. Genetically engineer them to have limited lifespans, or make a virus or something that they all carry that kills them at a certain point, something like that. Literally all of those things were tried

Caprica rocked my balls straight off, but I watched it stoned off my rear end so your mileage may vary. It was also cancelled way too early like most good Sci-Fi channel shows.

Murphy Brownback posted:There have been movie romances that made a lot less sense than Finn and Rey. There's no way they are going to give in to "fan demand" and do the Finn/Poe thing. The ones who want it are going to watch anything with the Star Wars label on it anyway, but there are people who will not watch it that would have watched it otherwise if they "dare" to insert a prominent homosexual relationship. Movies (or at least, this type of movie) are about making as much money as possible, they'll never do it. Did we watch the same movie? Finn and Poe's meetup at the rebel base? Every single encounter they have together? It was all so different from any Finn and Rey scenes. Honestly I would be blown away if Finn and Poe don't end up getting gay-space-married.

Murphy Brownback posted:All I saw is two guys who develop a close bond through the rescue and combat. Movies do this all the time. I mean if we were watching a real-life recording of people that actually existed, I'd probably agree that there was some attraction, but they're fictional characters and their sexual orientation is whatever the writers decide it will be. But it's a movie, made by a company notorious for doing whatever it takes to make money, not make social statements. Those are all good points, and yeah at the end of the day it is pretty much a guess by me so it'll be interesting to see where it ends up.

I have a 2.5 year old son so I have seen Cars 1 and 2 roughly 5000 times each, and each viewing leaves me with more questions. How does this imaginary world lf sapient vehicles work??? How did it loving start? Is Cars an argument for intelligent design? Do the cars reproduce by building a new car and if so why would anyone condemn their ungodly spawn to a lifetime of being a tiny forklift? A major plot point in Cars 2 is about oil. How does oil even exist? Do the cars turn into oil that the other cars then consume? In Cars 1 they make a point of showing you that even insects are hosed up tiny cars with wings and feelers so is everything related? My son also recently discovered the films Planes 1 and 2 which left me with other questions: the main character (a lovely propeller plane) dreams of becoming a fighter jet doing high speed low drag poo poo, but this could never happen. Because he was unlucky enough to be born into a lovely life as a crop duster. This is some bleak rear end poo poo. And then in the second one a major plot point is the planes loving gearbox ia broken and NO ONE MAKES THAT PARTICULAR KIND OF GEARBOX ANY LONGER. What the gently caress this is slme dystopian death panel poo poo in a retarded movie for kids.

Patattack posted:I was gonna say "no one makes that kind of gearbox anymore" makes no sense given that these vehicles are sentient beings, but then I thought about it a little more, and it's kind of comparable to a human who needs a donated kidney or something, but just can't find a suitable donor. Right but unlike the gearbox we can't construct a kidney from scratch. But they clearly have the ability to make a new gearbox but have apparently decided to never do it again, condemning untold individuals to a completely preventable death.

Patattack posted:Fair enough. But that leads to another question - can these cars die a "natural" death? Old age and whatnot? I would think not, since they're mechanical...So perhaps it's necessary to stop repairing older vehicles in order to prevent overpopulation. Well, one of the cars from Cars 1 apparently dies of old age between it and Cars 2, but whether or not it was due to something else (gearbox...  ), we aren't told. But theres another character in Cars 1 who is like a rickety old oldsmobile who, as far as I can tell, was built old? What the gently caress these movies are ruining me

Kramdar posted:What if the acid hit the dirt and then dissolves the ground all the way to the other side of the planet, creating a giant crater hole? Then the planet would fall out of orbit because there might be a crazy wind tunnel that is created from it and starts ricocheting around that planetary system. And then at the end of the movie it pulls back to a wider shot and ends in the same way that the first MIB movie did?

One thing that annoyed the poo poo out of me from The Force Awakens was how they go to great length to let the audience know that the new stormtroopers (and new order personnel in general???) are literally abducted as children and indoctrinated into giving their lives for the order. Seems kinda grim while also being completely retarded. I know it's star wars and things should be ever so slightly retarded, but I think this is just bad loving writing. Makes the bad faction seem needlessly shallow. Maybe its just me but the kinda same thing annoyed me about the prequels, how having the enemies be completely expendable robots made everything the good guys (the clones, which are a whole other ethical problem in themselves) did completely inconsequential and as a result the story and setting as a whole was hurt.

Guys guys! I also have an irrationally irritating moment about Ed Sheerans cameo in GoT. I spent almost the entire episode waiting for Ed and his friends to die horribly, I mean for fucks sake Arya meets the only nice Lannisters in the world and the one guy eve goes like "my wife gave birth to our child Ive never seen it cos Im at war man I wish I was home" and none of them loving died! I'll be irrationally pissed off if they dont get an elaborate death scene sooner or later.
