I feel like that happened to Spider Man too at one point? His suit gets damaged so he walks into a costume store and realizes the costume was higher quality than what he was already wearing.

FuckenPunchOn posted:Dark Knight Rises. I feel like they could have easily solved that too. The bad guys raid Wayne's armory for those weapons, right? So just have a scene where after disabling the armored cars, batman disables the waynetech rifles with a remote control and bam, instant hand to hand combat. Sure it's dumb, but it would fit right in with the rest of the dumb movie. Away all Goats has a new favorite as of 03:28 on May 14, 2014 |

Just saw Days of Future past: What the hell was Xavier's telepathy powers being tied to his ability to walk? He took a pill that suppressed his powers but also allowed him to walk? How was he walking around in First Class? Also as awesome as Quicksilver's scene was I'm annoyed at how little he was actually involved in the movie You'd think his ability to be faster than bullets would be useful in stopping an assassination where someone gets shot. He just felt like kind of a deus ex machina since he's literally in the movie to solve a single problem and never relevant again

WickedHate posted:So far, the Avengers are technology aided, a prince of another world, and a scientifically modified American soldier, except for the Hulk who is feared and hated. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will probably throw a wrench in that, though. Yeah, all they need to do is make it clear that Avengers are public heroes with known identities and mutants are vigilantes who try to keep their identities secret.

This would have also improved World War Z, where Brad Pitt's character is somehow there for like every major event around the globe and even discovers that zombies avoid sick people.

In the kind of situation where blood contact can cause an infection, wouldn't you want like thick leather and eye protection? Well in the Walking Dead universe Everyone is already infected, it's dying (to anything) that will cause you to turn into a zombie

I mean, shape shifting sword staff things are cool and all but they aren't very practical against an alien race that mostly fights hand to hand. Pretty sure you could fill an entire thread of stupid poo poo from After Earth. Like how it drops below freezing at night yet Jaden spends most of his time in what is basically a tropical jungle?

Cowslips Warren posted:I haven't seen all of Season 4 Game of Thrones yet, but is there ever an explanation as to why the Targarean kids, Dany and her brother, weren't taken in by the enemies of the Lannisters, say, Elia Martell's family, when they were kids or even teenagers? As much as a lot of people hated the Mad King, you'd think someone from Elia's family or anyone who hated the Lannisters would have been all about seizing those kids and grooming them into figureheads, rather than the kids essentially being beggars for years. Because the new King was Robert Baratheon and he hated Targaryen so much that when he found out a 13 year old Targaryen girl was still alive he sent an Assassin after her. Basically if Dorne tried to shelter the Targ kids they would have faced war against everyone who declared Robert their King

Anosmoman posted:So whenever the protagonist is completely outclassed in a hand-to-hand fight the baddie will just throw him around for a bit. First through a window, then walk over and pick him up, then throw him through some shelves, walk over an pick him up, then throw him on a table that disintegrates. Stop the inefficiency! I wanna see one of those abnormally huge/powerful guys who's actually terrifying because he would murder you if he got his hands on you instead of just moving you around a room and bruising you until you find a random object you can impale him with. I dunno know I just think it's a cop out and it's almost formulaic at this point. This bugged the poo poo out of me in Terminator Salvation. John Connor walks into a trap and gets cornered by a terminator (which for some reason is not armed with a gun) and it just throws him around the room instead of just snapping his neck or breaking him over his knee Bane Style. Hell a robot could probably easily rip out your heart or just pop your skull like the mountain

The thing that bugs me about Nolan's Batman movies is that Bruce spends a year fighting crime as Batman for like, a year and a half at the most. There's only about a year between BB and TDK as Joker says. He then goes into hiding/retirement at the end of The Dark Knight and TDKR is like 8 years later. In the near-decade timeframe the Batman movies cover, Batman is barely Batman in it.

Danger Mahoney posted:The hardest suspension of disbelief for me in zombie movies/shows is how animals suddenly disappear. The more aggressive carrion animals would disintegrate the entire zombie population in no time. Coyotes, buzzards, crows, and even all the roaming dogs now without owners would have no problem taking down a bunch of slow-moving exposed meat frames. Once you get into the country bears would keep pretty much every forest zombie-free. Or that no one would use bicycles. An inexpensive, fuel-free, easy to maintain (and obtain) transportation that lets you outpace zombies (even fast ones). Also most of them can go off road and transport at least 2 people. Nope, instead everyone drives around in cars or if their car breaks down, they just walk. Put like 2 bikes in the trunk or on the roof!

In Avengers when Agent coulson is explaining to Cap how Bruce Banner is a really smart guy he calls him a 'Stephen Hawking', which of course Cap has no idea who that is. Coulson just calls him a really smart person, instead of bringing up that other (arguably even more) famous smart person.

How the gently caress are them engines getting any oxygen to keep the internal combustion going?! Obviously they're extracting oxygen molecules from all the water around it! It's a movie about giant robots punching giant monsters, don't think about it too hard. In one scene a giant robot fist punches through an office building and stops just short of obliterating a desk, but just enough force to set off a newton's cradle on it.

The complaints about pandering to Asian audiences in a movie called 'Pacific Rim' is hilarious. Even more so when you realize the Chinese Jaeger (despite being the second most advanced one) dies in like the dumbest way possible. Also the Jaeger command base operator with the Chinese name is played by a white dude. I agree the pandering gets really bad in some movies (Transformers 4 being the worst I've ever seen) but Pacific Rim is really not one of them.

Littlefinger saw no advantage (To him, personally) in exposing Arya, so he didn't. He only works for the Lannisters or whoever when it suits him. Remember he was ready to seize the throne with Ned until Ned decided to stick to his honor.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:I don't think a BW movie can work as a superhero film because she's not really a superhero. She's basically a spy. That's the whole point. She was included because her backstory can easily be explained or inferred without a whole 20 minute sequence about how she got her powers/abilities and motivations. Like imagine if Scarlet Witch or Captain Marvel showed up in Iron man 2 instead and they were zapping people with their powers. They would need to devote a significant chunk of screentime to her backstory about why this person can fly and/or shoot laser beams out of their hands. Same reason they used Hawkeye really.

In the Robocop remake during the 'reveal' of Robocop to the public there is literally a wanted criminal just hanging out in the crowd which is surrounded by police officers, standing in front of the police headquarters.
