I agree. It’s such a disservice to the character and it spits in the face of Matt Murdock who went through hell and back just for a shot at this man.
I can understand what they were trying to do with Kate. After all she is the hero of the show. And she beat him using a combination of perseverance and pure luck. And to be fair, he was pulling his punches as he didn’t seem interested in hurting what was essentially a kid. He just wanted Eleanor.
But the crap with Maya was painful to watch as Maya is just a terrible character. She has no purpose in the show other than to distract from the main plot and the actress literally empties the charisma out of any scene she’s in. For someone like Kingpin to be taken out by such a non character so easily, when we just saw how much Kate struggled, and we know how hard Matt struggled, is just a punch in the guts really.
Something similar happens in the comic where Maya shoots him point blank in the face. Then the next panel just shows a BLAM! But it’s revealed later on that he just lost an eye.
Almost certain it’s referencing that issue so quite certain he isn’t dead.
Okay maybe I was a bit too harsh on Charlie. I just thought it was pretty insensitive to tell a woman “easy easy easy” after she watched her husband die.
But I still think Benny is just the worst. He kept eyeing Michelle even though it was clearly making Jo uncomfortable. Okay, Jo may have been reading too much into it, whatever. But Benny never backs down or apologizes when Jo confronts him. Even if it’s just to release the tension with an already stressed out man.
Also, I can’t help but feel it’s Benny’s fault the seaplane gets attacked. They’re all sitting in the water at the same time. Then we cut to the next shot and Charlie and Kaz have both managed to get in the plane and equipped themselves. Where is Benny? Still outside eyeballing Michelle instead of getting back in and therefore slowing down the departure and giving the shark enough time to attack them.
I think with Regan, she was worried her mother might try to stop her. Especially after Marcus’s freak out when she told him about it. Also, her mother had her brothers to take care of and at that point, everything Emmett said indicated that he was not willing to help them. As foolish as her decision was, it’s understandable that a child would make that choice given that context.
What made absolutely no sense was why Marcus decided to go for a stroll. This part annoyed the heck out of me. As you said, he was injured and he was also the sole carer for his baby brother. His character throughout both movies is consistently shown as someone who is perpetually terrified and would not take chances. In fact, when his mother left, he was physically shaking. So it made absolutely no sense for him to do this. What annoyed me most was that they could’ve easily introduced some excuse that forces him to leave. This would have been a character moment for him, allowing him to overcome his fear and rise to the occasion. Instead, he just does something stupid and completely out of character for no reason at all.
He didn’t even sacrifice himself for them. They were all on a mission to go to transmit the sound through radio to all survivors. When he got them there, he decided he was no longer needed and it was more important for him to go back to protect his child. That’s when he was attacked. How is that in anyway a sacrifice for whites?
Dude... just write over it with a whiteboard marker and then rub it off. Simple as that...
My thoughts exactly. Why did the bad guy just suddenly go into “I gotta kill everything” mode if all he wanted from the beginning was to just kill the sharks?
Dianne wiest was horrible to watch for me. Her acting is terrible and all her scenes were just hard to get through.
thank you!
This movie drove me insane because of how many contrivances were involved just to drive the plot forward. Literally nothing made a lick of sense!
A man covered in blood is arrested and confesses to two police officers that he has murdered someone but they have to let him go because they don't have a body so there's no evidence to hold him. WTF?
A girl goes missing and you've found her car and thus a defined search area, so the main character runs off elsewhere. But the police's response to this is what is maddening. They have a search radius around the car but because there are too many houses in the area, let's just go into the mountains and look there instead. Has a police officer ever said this? "Mate, I mean, we have her last known location, but it's just too much work you know? so we're just going to look somewhere else that's not as labour intensive" WTF?????
They leave a suspected woman killer who is clearly deranged with a single female police officer. WTF??
Two police officers follow him after he leaves but one misses the bus/train (I can't remember) and just decides 'ah fuck it, no point me trying to catch up anyway. I'm sure this one skinny female police officer can handle the job just fine. I'll go get some KFC" WTF??
Police officer follows a suspect who goes into a tiny convenience store and stays in there for at least 30 minutes. She doesn't even bother to look inside and just waits outside for half an hour. Just sits by the street side possibly day dreaming about the latest K-Pop band. WTF???
There are so many more retarded stupid moments in this movie that just depends on stupid contrivances. I know it was trying to make the case of police incompetence, but at least make it believable. This is cartoon level ineptitude. The villain did everything possible to be caught but only escaped because of sheer stupidity on everyone else's part.
I have to disagree. In infinity war, it was specifically said that you have to sacrifice that which you love most. As in you have to be the one to willingly take the action. It seems to be a test of will. Standing back while another sacrifices herself will not satisfy the strict wording of the rules. And if you look at the purpose (test of will), Barton clearly failed that too. I could be wrong though (does he let her go or does she push herself off? I can’t remember. This would be very important in considering who did the sacrifice).
Further it has to be the one you love most. I doubt Hawkeye loved widow most. It can be said that perhaps after his family, he does love her most and since his family is gone, she’s the default “love most” person. But the first part still fails if he didn’t let her go as I explained above.
Another way that this would’ve worked out is if widow secretly loved herself most. But then she would be awarded the soul stone and not Barton.
The other way around this is the other rule that’s flying around; that is you simply need to exchange a soul for a soul (doesn’t need to be something you love most). In this case, they should’ve just thrown red skull down.
Having said all that, I still thought this was one of the most powerful scenes in an excellent film.
