As bad as that movie was it still was disturbing for the matter of fact representation of nukes going off and vaporizing people, the following widespread radiation sickness and the general bleakness that countered Reagan's rah-rah Cold War horseshit. It wasn't the action-packed disaster movie the masses were eager for. Surprise! Nuclear war is the worst thing possible!

Even Terminator 2 caught a lot of attention and praise (in some circles) for its depiction of nuclear war and just how terrible it is. The emotional point of the movie wasn't trying to stop Skynet and the machines, per se, it was trying to stop Judgment Day.

The sleeping pod room is basically a medical facility so it makes sense in the movie for it to be one of the few places on the ship that's clean and clutterless. Whether it's representative of the movie as a whole is another question.

I think it works in the vein of creating expectations about the movie that are then subverted, but I'm not sure that line works on a movie everyone and their grandmother knows what's up with.

The rumor is that there's one flashback scene with Batman, Joker and Harley.

There is, it's in the trailer. They've also outright said every member of the Squad (save Flagg I guess) was captured and turned in by Bats so there may be more flashbacks.

Scarecrow books? You lost me there.

Matthew Reilly, an Australian novelist whose main book series revolves around a marine nicknamed Scarecrow. The books are batshit insane action movies in book form, and by and large know they're being completely ridiculous. One book has a bad guy with an honest to goodness shark pit for prisoners in his evil fortress.

It's Varian's wife/Anduin's mom. That is her sum total contribution to the Warcraft story, and I don't think she even had a name before the movie.

And Spider-Man is great because he has real world problems. He's just a kid trying to lead a regular life while this other life gets in the way, it's a lot more relateable than Batman's issues for example. It's why Spider-Man 2 is so good, because Raimi nails that feeling of Peter being pulled away from everything for the sake of being a hero.

Daredevil already does a pretty good job with this in season 2, so I'm optimistic about them handling it with Spidey. Being a vigilante ninja completely ruins Matt Murdock's career and personal life, to the point that his girlfriend gets relationship advice from Frank Castle.

Honestly I forgot that he didn't sleep with her. I thought he did at some point once the other relationship was on the rocks.

Still, you know someone's in a badly messed up relationship when the loving Punisher is having a heart to heart chat with them about how love feels and how important it is.

I might be the only one, but the Predator is kind of an inherently goofy design. He's an alien with a vagina face, dreadlocks, a giant forehead and what looks like a mesh shirt. Pairing it with the actually creepy xenomorph design always seemed kinda imbalance.

Predator badly needs to keep his helmet on for promotional art, Preferably with his plasma cannon erect.

It's good that they pointed out the missile-launchers were "anti-kaiju" missile launchers. No one would have known what they were for if they hadn't explained it.

To be fair on that one, Pacific Rim 1 did the same thing with labeling Striker Eureka's chest missiles as "anti-kaiju." The website gave some technobabble about them being multi-stage armor-piercing missiles loaded with acid or something.

Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon would have been okay if Charlie didn't Charlie it up.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty obvious that Otachi and Leatherback had been custom-designed to gently caress up Cherno, Typhoon, and Striker because of Charlie's drift and Charlie knew that those three were active-duty while Gypsy was retired after Mako's incident.

Still, Cherno and Typhoon were the only really interesting-looking mechs in the movie. Didn't even get to see the colossal flamethrowers Cherno was supposedly armed with or its electrified fists.
