Great, now this has me thinking of how a John Wick/Highlander crossover would be the unquestioned GOAT

Late to the party (stock response for bumping a thread).

 

Spoilers for those who haven’t touched the game.

 

  Hide contents

Did anyone find the opening part of the village and the castle took quite some time, but then the Dollhouse and the Mine took maybe an hour and a bit each? 
 

I'm about to amble off the the factory now, so I’m interested to see if this is the area that slows the game down/draws it out - my sneaking suspicion is yea, it is.

 

your suspicion is correct

That looks fantastic!

A real blast. Gunn was given the opportunity by the competition to do a hedonistic victory lap, and within the first ten minutes, he announces his intent to go on an anarchic rampage. And with some inspired direction, no less. Half a fight scene is shot in the reflection of a helmet. Wonderful!

 

Amused to see all the Harley hate, because she was one of my favorite aspects here. Liked Birds of Prey well enough, and haven’t seen Suicide Squad, but think they struck a good balance here between bonkers, capable and — in a standout scene for me — the lines she’s drawn for herself and the pain behind the mania.

 

Also, great unexpected use of the Pixies.

 

 

Also also, I guess we've done away with covering spoilers, so perhaps someone could change the title?

 

 

To what degree do you think the movie wants us to be invested in the revolution? The guerrillas are established with a joke, and it concludes in an overtly gory way. It's a means to an end.

 

And they turn back to stop Starro from his rampage. 

 

I'm not following your stance here at all.

 

 

You're right, the Guardians don't and wouldn't do that -- because they're completely different characters operating on a completely different spectrum of morality in a completely different movie. It would be wildly out of place, and it's why Yondu's exit treatment leaves one uneasy. They don't fully reconcile his past actions, and he's embraced/mourned by generally good people who are aiming to do the right thing. It doesn't jive.

 

By contrast, the Suicide Squad are a bunch of unrepentant criminals ranging from a man-eating shark to a young woman who doesn't seem too bothered about forcing a rat down a person's throat. The reveal of who they killed isn't to garner sympathy. It's a joke. Flag is the only one who seems to care, and he's presented as the anomaly.

 

Essentially, I think what was a weakness in GotG2 is actually a strength here. The amorality of the roster of characters lends itself much better to Gunn's transgressive tendencies.

I agree with all of this

Do you have to keep the stick so far up your ass that diarrhea pours out of your fingers and constantly makes it way into all of your posts? 

The irony of you posting this is wonderfully spectacular 

Being hung drawn and quartered always seemed peak unpleasant to me

The first Wonder Woman is much, much, much better than this.

Man of Steel is better than both 👀

Yes, that's correct - it's all up for your interpretation!

That…irritates me greatly. I’m all for artistic license but it’s an already great story with a great twist/moral. It’s literally timeless. Chopping off the true ending so people can “interpret for themselves” just comes across as pretentious.

I apologize for making a generalized observation that doesn’t apply to you.

do you have to be defensive about every single thing

Absolutely loved it.  I don’t think it’s any more violent than most action movies but it’s way gorier in what they show. Sometimes it’s gross, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s awesome, and sometimes it’s kinda existential? It’s almost like a class in violence haha. I don’t think it’s a fault that it’s mostly silly/crazy and then it pulls you in to care for a little bit before going right back to being silly because that’s who those characters are at their core and it also earns those brief emotional moments. 
 

At the end of the day, like the movie or not, it’s another DC movie that’s infinitely more interesting and memorable than anything Marvel has photocopied lately. 

That Q1 lineup is loaded as hell right now lol

Still #teamdisney

Soooo in regards to the ending

I’m gonna piggy back off this thread a bit. Any recommendations for good bluetooth headphones? Looking for something I can wear while mowing the lawn so would need to be able to stand up on the sound from the mower and the dirt/sweat that kinda goes with that too

Just watched the Woodstock Doc. The organizer dude needs to be in jail or at least a televised ass beating. Great doc but def felt just angry and frustrated when it was over. Shit really hasn’t changed.

I see no reason why not?  If anything, we might see an enhanced version of Panthor.

That’s a good point. Panthor was already like Battle Cat in his default form. He/she should be suped up like Skeletor now

So how bought that Battle Cat!!! Think we see Panthor in part 2????

Where is that Woodstock doc?

I’d be holding out for an invitation from Canada 

This is literally that Steve Buscemi line from Armageddon about going into space on a rocket made by the lowest bidder haha

In what regard, the shows as well?

I dont think he means he hates the app or the original content. I think he means he probably really dislikes the Simultaneous movie release for $30 thing

They're gonna lose him and the whole franchise will tank. 

Id be ok with that. Marvel had a good run and let’s see what other cool stuff he can do. 

They don’t get talked about a lot but those TGI Fridays Potato Skin chip things are INCREDIBLE

Console wars were super fun when we were kids. It’s embarrassing to watch dudes in their 30s and 40s fighting over which video game system is the best

Almost as embarrassing as watching older dudes debate anything involving superhero’s or space laser swords 

No mention of attach rates either. I mean, there’s no games to actually attach but still
