I feel like some of the acronystic parts help make comic book movies feel more comic bookish to me. who cares if print media is still going in marvel movies? and secret identities are part of the fun of super heroes. also, drat Age of ultron is a big middle finger to man of steel, ultron is superman who sees a coming disaster and tries to avert it and the movie says to him maybe it's okay to let it die instead of trying to forcibly turn it into your idea world. too bad almost everything about the movie was awful

tony's vision was more about him being scared of surviving than everyone else dying thor's was just weird i don't remember if we're even told what bruce saw but yes tony's fear and bruce's anger at the destruction does create an even bigger problem both the hulk fight and ultron. also it's very much the opposite of superman, the avengers save people but humanity is left to fend for itself superman will lead humanity but people have to save themselves. the marvel universe is very libertarian which makes it a fun escapist fantasy. also also Age of ultron is a very badly made movie.

Bob Quixote posted:So if you put out a fire that would have consumed a building and killed everyone inside you are somehow saving fewer lives than the one or two guys in the building who managed to keep their heads and usher a few people in their area out the fire doors? Are you literally saving less lives? No. Does the guy getting people out have more of a dramatic impact? Yeah, that's why in most firefighting stories we follow the dude who runs into the burning building looking for people instead of the crew pumping water.

Yaws posted:It's so loving stupid. Why would they charge at each other like it's a medieval battle? What would Hawkeye gain from running straight at Iron Man? the scene itself isn't the problem, the real issue is who shows the actual run up? The clash is the important part, showing them actually running at each other looks silly.

Dude doesn't even glance back to see if his friend needs any help. And then Cap just walks in from off-screen right after. 1 captain america doesn't need help against government/sheild nobodies 2 if it were someone that cap needs help to fight, the loving falcon is not going to provide that help. unless cap like needs his shield returned to him.

PiedPiper posted:Cap was born in 1920, the time of the First Red Scare, after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. They didn't distinguish between communism and socialism in that period. Nah cause cap is supposed to be ahead of his time , he's all for helping out the little guy. cap isn't america the literal, he's the idea of america, the spirit of freedom and all that jazz they told poor immigrants to come here.cap isn't supposed to stand for the government but for the people and that's why he doesn't stand for the government infringing upon the rights of the people. I mean the way he talked about registration in the clip the government can force you into or out of any conflict it wants if you have superpowers. I'm still wondering why black panther is ok with this, does he have diplomatic immunity?

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:(also something nobody ever mentions is that Pa Kent might not actually know if Clark can withstand the tornado. Unless you think Pa Kent took Clark into a field and ran him over with a tractor and shot him a couple of times to test his invulnerability - which is a funny image) I know this is so far away from the point but he doesn't need to withstand the tornado clark could have walked out and grabbed the dog and come back at healthy teenager speed and he could have easily not gotten stuck with normal well built teenager strength, like saving the dog and coming back was not something that could only be accomplished by an act of god. also everyone other than clark should be dead anyway cuz the stood in an underpass during a big loving tornado. in the midwest we learn not to do that by age 6

computer parts posted:The JFK assassination produced weirder conspiracy theories than just mind control (both it directly and the " government must be lying to you" mindset that it created). yeah but i don't think juries tend to convict on conspiracy theories. I mean i'm sure you can get some dude in a tinfoil hat to belive in mind control easy. that isn't the problem what is funny is that all the stuff tony gets blamed for nobody ever mentions the hordes of aliens descending from over his building. by civil war there should be at least a sizable portion of the country wondering if that wasn't a false flag operation. Edit: hell tony stark can easily crate a replica nuke and drone ironman suit and when they go through the "portal" all the aliens drop like robots that have their off switches hit. then when shield's getting close to the truth tony stark's good buddy drops them out of the air Elfgames fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jul 8, 2016 |

Toady posted:Fans call Batman a hero because he stops short of killing his victims. Even worse, fans justify Batman's existence by citing the Gotham police force as corrupt, but Batman is part of that system, turning in criminals with cuts and bruises knowing that the police will look the other way. Good Batman stories acknowledge that his existence is wrong and his thinking is flawed. I think these stories work better in the comics because they are a contrast to the norm but nowadays movies seem to hate batman as a baseline. Everything is "batman is lovely and ineffectual and that's not realistic he has to be crazy and violent and kill people!" and surprise people who like batman can get rubbed the wrong way by it after awhile.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:When we say Batman kills it is not a celebration of 'grimdarkness' but a straightforward observation, akin to saying that Batman poops. Everybody poops. It is the unavoidable consequence of eating and digestion. When did jijov get a hold of this account? Batman doesn't kill batman doesn't do anything because batman is a fictional character Batman doesn't eat digest or poop naturally either The actions of batman are written down by authors, Batman kills because someone with a pen wanted to make a point

. The problem with them now is that all films must pander to their archaic bullshit rules so even though we don't live there we have to face the fact that all our films are edited with their strict rules in mind.

Chocolate Teapot posted:I'm going to put forward the most brazenly obvious counterpoint to this anecdotal stream of utter nonsense, but if nobody cared about music in film, why the gently caress is it even there? because music accentuates a scene and elicits emotion even if you aren't actively aware of it. i don't think you even need great music as long as the music you have fits well with the ideas and emotions you're trying to evoke.

MrJacobs posted:Actually whats stupid is why the gently caress didn't those exist before Luke Cage? The invasion of New York should have kickstarted super-bullet research into high gear, plus the Hulk has existed for a while, furthering the need for more super bullets in order to try (but always fail) to stop this rage monster that causes more damage than 3 hurricanes and an earthquake everywhere he goes. the Netflix poo poo and the movies are not in chronological order, all this poo poo seems to be happening much closer to the avengers movie. The Judas bullets were made from chitauri metal.
