You’re on to something. There is an element that makes him more of a plot device than a character, but you’re also explaining the point of the character. He’s a storm. Or an earthquake. He’s a natural disaster that pushes the residents of Gotham to the extremes and in some cases breaks them. Like Dent. He’s Godzilla…

Like I said I was entertained, but I still don’t think it’s a very competent movie and I really don’t think it will hold up as well as other Marvel movies let alone the super hero/comic genre in general. I think it had a lot of power on the hype train since even despite it’s weaknesses is still rebounds from Age of…
His name is literally Gigolo Joe in the film. He’s framed for murder in a sex hotel. And much like everything else in the movie he’s infinitely more interesting than the core plot and the David character.
And child brides aren’t rape victims?
Hollywood doesn’t owe anyone anything new though. Movies are a business venture. The only thing they need to do is make money. If they’re making money on rehashes and think that’s a sound business model it’s because they’re getting feedback, i.e. money and that’s the fault of audiences. No one else’s. (Though this…
My initial thought “Did The Rock really just forget how to say the word sequel? Because that was a pretty complicated way of saying it’s a sequel”
Never understood how hate towards a remake or a reboot is warranted. The old movies aren’t going anywhere. If Hollywood wants to be creatively bankrupt that’s on them. No skin off my back or out of my wallet.
That’s all fine and dandy, but I was paying attention and the scrip is a mess.
Civil War was god damn stupid. Particularly Zemo’s nonsensical plan. I’m just here to gives stars for jumping in front of that fanboy fueled hype train and pointing out the extremely obvious flaws no one is willing to accept from this movie because “zomg it’s Spider-Man fighting Cap! Best movie ever!”
If I wanted to be disappointed I could re-read the last 4 books. But I burned them all a long time ago so I can’t see that happening.
D&D is trendy now though.
Good call on the Erased suggestion. For once I felt like we were breaking away from a lot of anime-isms the medium has been focusing on as late to amp up the broad appeal overseas.
Yeah it’s clearly there, just not as pronounced as the 80s homages obviously. It’s a really solid blend.
And despite being nearly indistinguishable from everything else that’s come out it’ll be in Kotatku’s Top 5 Anime of Summer 2016.
Steve has a surprisingly strong character arc.
Interestingly enough when I was watching it I got a very anime vibe from Stranger Things. It could have easily worked as a 12 - 16 episode anime. I kept thinking “I wish anime would do more stuff like this” too because I’ve become a very disillusioned anime viewer. The medium has become very stagnant and monotonous…
Ryan Lochte is in this game?
Ah, I see you used the Draw system in FF8. Rookie mistake.
Until they basically crapped all over his episode with that season finale. :(
