It's a couple steps beyond that, though. Part of it is definitely the absurdity of seeing the Asian police operations tropes (everyone stands up from a covered position and aims their weapon, either in sync or in a sequence, after which they then wait for the bad guys to deliver a speech, etc.)

I think when I look back at this point in time, this is where I chart the drop-off of H.K. movies. The old guard (Jackie Chang, Andy Lau, Ekin Cheng) was still a reliable draw, but they were bored and getting too full of themselves.

You shot my suitcase? That's just MEAN, man!

Swiri/Shiri was a TERRIBLE movie. There are 3 North Korean operatives in the movie. At various points in time, the 3 of them are surrounded by literally, an entire police department and all 3 of the N.K. operatives will escape, unharmed, while killing off the entire police force.

It was actually a reference to the disgruntled Reddit post by the guy who supposedly worked on the film, which had been pasted into the comments below.

Goddamn Hollywood pre-stealing my ideas!

I was talking about the bit later on, when Fishburne gets woken up. Is his pod a malfunction, too?

So, I found a site that tries to cobble together portions of the game that come across poorly in the text, and while the lines that get commented on are rightly bad, the worst line of all comes from the guy running the site:

So, I didn't watch the movie, but I did read the Spoiler Space for it.

Danny McBride, actually.

Especially since the ship's apparently, like, "Oh, hey we have a mission critical problem. Time to follow established emergency procedure. WAKE UP ONE GUY."

No, you're thinking of some other thing.

"Hey, robot bartender… Are there maybe, some… you know… female robot parts in storage?"

NO! THE WHOLE PREMISE WAS ALWAYS A LOVE STORY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS?!

They should have had a kid.

That iteration aspect of it, I totally get. I am all for that. The part where people invent and adhere to alternate interpretations of media that contradict the actual piece of media SO THEY CAN LIKE THE MEDIA MORE is what's grating on me.

Look, if he randomly started waking people up, and being like, "Hey, I got woken up early. Wanna enjoy drinking some booze instead of me for 6 months, and then swap out with someone else?"

Can we stop doing this thing where something is shitty, but we have to undo its shittiness in our minds?

I feel like there's an opportunity there for an estrogen/espionage punmanteau, maybe espio-vag…

It would be called the "Pen is Mightier".
