Oh shit, I totally forgot about Rogue. This really was the best croc type movie I've ever seen.
lmao, yeah it's like...maybe you have a point here, but right now, you're coming off deranged lol.
The nazis represented the next level of villain for the show. Every villain in the show basically elevating the game for our protagonists.
Obviously, we all love Gus, but Gus still has honor. He is not an wholly evil man.
The nazis presented a group of individuals without honor, without any sort of morality. But they were not out of control like Tuco. Todd stands out too; he's a dangerous psychopath. They might not have commanded the empire that Gus did, but the way they took control along with their systematic murder, torture, and theft put them at a level of threat that was qualitatively different from what Gus represented.
One little detail I also liked was when, I think they were discussing how Todd was kind of talking up his contacts and Mike was like "oh he's just flexing". This reminded me of the The Dark Knight were Wayne was like, one man or the whole mob? the man can wait.
But that single man tore everything up. Our protags underestimated these men they sought to work with, and I do think that's usually the next step for a story like this. Kind of like how in Death Note, Lights fall eventually comes from the company he just work with.
Agreed. I love this show, but I do think there was some fluff that could have been excised. Marie's klepto arc was one of those.
oh yeah lol. Good point. It's late stage reveal unless you've already guessed it.
I mean, I watched Malignant already, and the entire plot is totally different.
Saying these films are similar is like saying Gone in 60 Seconds is similar to The Fast and the Furious.
<blockquote>And the morality of the show was ambiguous, at best.</blockquote>
That was part of the fun lol. Movie's insane.
I don't lol.
Idris Elba played that response so fucking straight. So good.
This type of topic doesn't work. First of all, I disagree with the fundamental premise:
<blockquote>I honestly don't see where she did anything wrong in this film...Assuming she wasn't lying about knowing where she was going, I find no fault in anything she did.</blockquote>
So because of that, I have to consider that there are gonna be some ppl who believed she is not to blame, and some people who do. And in the latter, there's going to be some people who are reasonable, and some who aren't.
We can't just assume that everyone who believes she is at fault in this movie for something or another, is being motivated by sexism. She wasn't perfect. So it follows that there are ppl who will disagree with the premise that she did nothing wrong.
I think it'd be more appropriate to direct this complaint about sexism against a specific poster, a specific argument that someone is putting forth to knock her down. Because there you have specifics of how the person is evaluating heather, and you can judge whether or not the evaluation is reasonable.
But here, throwing this out into the ether is eliminating that possibility, because it is assuming that EVERYONE needs to believe that she committed no fault.
Agreed, she's just not a good actress I think. But who knows. Maybe she just hasn't had the opportunity to show her range.
Daniel Radcliffe's taken some time to convince me.
Yeah, I was gonna say. This observation is fine. But starting the topic like that is a bit sus XD
He did compare the two, but people are taking those comments out of context. (live by the woke, die by the woke, I guess).
I saw the old tweets, but he was basically just saying that in researching pedophilia, he realized that there is a strong biological basis for it. And he used homosexuality as an example. Homosexuality, as modern science recognizes, is not a choice.
He wasn't defending pedophilia as being okay, and he wasn't saying homosexuality was not okay lol.
He was encouraging sympathy for ppl who were dealt a negative genetic hand, but as I recall, he wasn't suggesting anything beyond that.
If he'd pick something else like...addictive behavior, he'd be making the same point. We know some ppl are genetically opposed to addiction. It doesn't mean that we're saying that we're giving them a pass, but we want to do what we can to help people who suffer from that.

Jokes aside, I was thinking about how safe the situation is for Madison by the end of this film. Because if you were able to go on record, and explain to the cops what happened in order to absolve her of the crimes that were committed by her hands, and supposing the authorities believed her...
Would it be reasonable for the police and judicial system to accept that oh yeah, she totally got it covered.
And no, wouldn't date her lol. I'm reminded of the Oldboy comics or like the haunting of bly manor. No way in hell I can sleep next to a ticking time bomb.
I agree with your post that that line was unnecessary, but the fact that there's been confusion DESPITE that line, shows how confused the average moviegoer is even when there wasn't really any ambiguity.
lmao I forgot about this thread. I still think it's hilarious that the other poster thought you were calling him a basement dwelling loser.
Totally different.
Fair enough, that's usually what I just assume in most cases. Like, it's just the Mandela effect. People forgetting fundamentals that they never fully understood or just forgot from not using (cause really, when does this come up in our day to usage unless you work with numbers in your job)
But I was thinking earlier how I've seen teachers today literally teach basic mathematics incorrectly...so I can't discount that either lol
<blockquote>those "puzzles" on facebook are the math equivalent of a badly worded phrase with multiple double negatives that you have to deconstruct to work out if its a yes or a no.</blockquote>
That's another good point.
The reality is...these "puzzles" would not occur in actual problems. By the time order of operations comes into play, you're usually dealing with algebraic functions where it becomes immediately obvious why the order of operations is necessary.
<blockquote>the pedmas bullshit never came into it</blockquote>
It's just some heuristic for kids to remember. Hell, it's actually caused problems because I've seen ppl use that as an argument for dividing before multiplication lol. or to Multiply against the parentheses because you "do parentheses" first lol
You were taught wrong, I'm afraid :(
-simplify by removing parentheses
-resolve exponents
-multiplication and division from left-to-right
-addition and subtraction
