no one is embarrassed to watch those movies friend

Of course not, and why indeed would children be embarassed about consuming media made for children? Adults on the other hand would not be embarassed, cause they're not watching this poo poo, surely?

because not every adult you meet is a judgmental sperglord who likes being alone so he doesn't have to put up with the company of people he percieves as being below them and is too good for any hobby besides staring at the wall?

i don't like superhero movies though

it would be the anti-superhero superhero movie. and the overall theme of the trilogy would be about social disfunction.

On the flipside, being an anti-hero I do think he would utterly eliminate Batman's entire rogue's gallery in about 24 hours, for good. Arkham might protest, because they'd go out of business.

Hell I wouldn't be surprised if there's some what if DC crossover that does just that.

Necessary edits taken. While I've heard their very last movie wasn't bad, Jesus Disney has turned them into the "lovely sequel factory" studio and moved all their good people to Disney's animation department proper.

Did you know Brave was such a clusterfuck they re-wrote the entire script around like 40% complete animation?

The correct ending to a Punisher trilogy is him becoming High Warlord President of Liberia.

Actually, it would be him accidentally mowing down an innocent family in a gunfight, proving that he's just as bad as the bad guys.

Kyle's now defunct military contractor group, Craft International, used the Punisher skull. I remember it being brought up during the Boston Bombing because some conspiracy theorists latched on to the fact there was some guys with their hats there.

I find it funny that you dudes will watch Marvel/DC movies and pretend that it's different to watching Disney/Pixar. It's literally baby stories designed for baby brains either way. Whether or not the brains have the sads I cannot comment on.

There is a difference, and the difference is that Pixar movies are good and the creators give a poo poo.

Filthy.

And furthermore

quote:

In 1999, The Matrix came out and blew everyone away with its insane action sequences, revolutionary cinematic techniques and, most of all, a mind-loving plot that left the head of every viewer filled with intense philosophical questions.

What It's Suspiciously Like:

The Invisibles, a cult comic book series created by Grant Morrison, is basically about a group of individuals who fight the establishment because the establishment is secretly keeping people dumb and hiding the fact that reality is an illusion. Turns out that the "real world" is ruled by horrifying insect-like demons. One more thing: The Invisibles debuted in 1994.

Like in The Matrix, these "terrorists" are actually one cell of a much larger group, and some of them can even "warp themselves out of reality" by using the real world as a shortcut. The story starts when the Invisibles recruit a young guy who takes on the alias of Jack Frost. Like Keanu in The Matrix, at first he wants nothing to do with the group, but eventually he comes to accept the fact that he's the messiah (yeah, they're a lot less subtle about it here). From that point on, he uses his reality-bending powers to help bring down the beings that secretly rule the world. Also, part of his training involves jumping off a tall building.

Want more? Their leader is a bald guy with circular shades who likes wearing leather. And knows kung fu. And shoots people a lot.

Other than that, they're completely different.

At one point, the bald, shades-wearing kung fu leader is captured by the bad guys and tortured by a non-human conscience ... who has taken the shape of a government agent. When he refuses to give them any information, they try to enter his brain, until eventually the rest of the team comes to his rescue. Here are a few panels from that sequence:

The Wachowskis have never acknowledged The Invisibles as an influence, even though they had invited the comic's creator Grant Morrison to contribute a story for their website. Morrison -- who actually liked The Matrix -- says he "was told by people on the set that Invisibles books were passed around for visual reference." His reaction to the second and third movies? "They should have kept on stealing from me."

Jared Leto is: Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Of course I already wasn't going to see it, because comic book movies are for children, but it's still going to be bad.

They shoulda casted McCully Culkin as the joker.

Also yeah its poo poo. I'm surprised Adam Sandler doesnt have his hands in it.
