I think you are missing the point about his plot: he doesn't have one. He had multiple plots, and adapted to the circumstances. When something didn't work, he moved on to the next attempt. (The movie could have emphasized that better, but he said that directly when he was torturing that Hydra guy for information.)

Or really make it fantasy.
The alternative evil political party uses doublespeak ("people don't like the word slavery, instead use the term indentured employment"), makes it easy for people to fall into debt so they don't have choices, keeps the minimum wage below the poverty line, and wants all the rights to belong to…

Yeah, but that thriller would give an answer to the unasked question: why is Banner always angry?

That is a good question.

I think Sam Tarly can provide you with all the ammunition you need.

I don't understand your comment. I wasn't referring to army sizes when I replied to your "180 pivot".

But that was the right risk to take, in order to increase the army (of the living).

I don't even think she was right about the answer (although it is understandable why she felt that way).

She needs to marry the Hound.

I thought that was just short for "Michaelucidation".

The reason for your adoration might be due to Picardo getting away with rewriting some of his dialogue.

It was so long ago, I'd forgotten about the dogs.
I was thinking about the presence of the actor, like the way Clint Eastwood would have that intense glare during the spaghetti westerns.

I've got to agree with both of those. Despite the range of what she could do, SW still had some well-defined limits (or at least she did back in the 70's and 80's comics), but the movie-version is confusing. Considering that they put the Black Panther in a vibranium-laced costume (which makes complete sense), they…

But at least for Loki, the movie established (a) he was a prima donna (in character for him to do it), and (b) everyone knew it was a trap, but they had to play it out to get more information.

Now I'm thinking of the Robert Shaw train fight in From Russia With Love.

Any time I watch a superhero film, I literally apply a "Constantine rule": do I understand the limits of the hero's power? With "Constantine", a lot of the tension and drama is sucked out when I have no idea if the current threat is trivial or life-threatening to the hero. (Even with something as bizarre as "Doctor…

The only problem was, almost none of the bad guys seemed like they could match Adrian Paul. (The exception I remember being Roland Gift, the lead singer to Fine Young Cannibals.)

My favorite part was the others in shock at the Batman playing "good cop" to Old Bruce's "bad cop".

I was thinking of the end of "Time Bandits", except that things blow up when they touch Pence.
