I'm not going to make any argument that inversion could exist in the real world in the way Nolan is trying to invent. But I do think he's done a good job in making it as believable as possible within the limitations of our understanding (with trickery of editing of course).
But I do think you're misunderstanding a bit, particularly the example you gave.
<blockquote>What, he goes and waits for the Protagonist to back out of the open gate...and then locks it behind him? Seriously? </blockquote>
I'm not entirely sure of the exact moment/timing you mean when you say he "locks it behind him", so I'll just try and describe the sequence of events there and hopefully they'll cover the moment that you're calling out.
Inverted Neil jogs to gate, unlocks gate, opens gate, holds gate open, then closes gate while he protects Protag from the gunshot. Closing the gate probably locks the gate again (just a guess from the locking mechanism).
If it helps, remember that inverted individuals experience things in reverse relative to those that aren't.
If I experience A, B, then C, then an inverted person in that scene will experience C, then B, then A.
So think of it the way the Protag experiences it.
Protag sees locked/closed gate, is protected from gunshot, gate is held open while he fights, gate is closed (this is the moment where the inverted Neil unlocks the gate from his own perspective), inverted man jogs away.
So for Protag, the unlocking takes place after the gunshot.
For inverted Neil, the unlocking takes place before the gunshot, which makes sense, because gunshot ends Neil's life.
Inverted Neil does close the door while he blocks the gunshot but there is never a moment where Neil intentionally locks the gate behind someone.
They didn't even try with Han. lol
Cruel humor is entertaining for some viewers. It's why black comedies exist.
Our theater cracked the fuck up for sure.
ironically, he already looked absurd in the trailer.
Actually seeing him in the movie made him terrifying as all hell. So word of mouth should help.
Very true, I don't side with him at all on this matter. And frankly, I do feel like all this happened. I just didn't care for a lot of the other material that was in the article that complemented the story.
hahaha omg, i never realized that. Shit, ur right about the climax.
Omg, I guess I was just so swept with the glass double cross, and all of it, it didn't even cross my mind.
That was my complaint about Thor: Ragnarok, and I basically accepted it here XD
Eh...but in retrospect, I feel like T2 is exciting, but way more of a low-pro, popcorn action film. It did have some philosophical underpinnings, but it's honestly all kinda superficial.
My hope for Avatar 2 is that it goes full fantasy to be honest. I don't think that having the humans return would make the movie quite that interesting.
So did Robin Wright not want to come back or what? I guess it worked out that each of the supers had like one companion who cared about them, but still.
Jordan was an absolutely awful actor. But how as the rest of the movie?
lol yeah. people in this thread. The fact that he was native american fit with the setting. And his own backstory complements the themes of legacy and familial connection established by the blackledges and the weboys.
Precisely. And what's worse is when he was still pulling his punches in the burning house until after he got shot.
The fact that he's established as retired officer who was actually damn good made it just disappointing to see him get overpowered at virtually every part.
Thought the same thing, until the final act of the movie confirms that the room is suitably dark.
Virtually any scene with Yelena.
But my favorite is probably the pockets scene in the ca r.
Exactly this lmao. Just shifting standards of realism, that's all. Her feats still show noticeably less power/ability than what Red Guardian is able to do (though he couldn't beat taskmaster, which we just have to attribute to the fact that Widow is better trained).
Exactly. And besides. This is just hogwash the writer is saying now to make it more than what it is. Saying that misogyny is the real villain here is like...Rowling coming out and saying Dumbledore was gay.
Like it's not even there. It's just headcanon drivel.
I only contribute to discussions as much as the other person. Your entire essay is based on a premise you didn't even care to justify. So you start with nothing, I add nothing.
2 of the films listed are in the better half of the MCU films.
Yeah this is a really strange thread.
<blockquote>Oh, and it's the Democrats who think of themselves as the party of the little guy.</blockquote>
Yep...
It's like you're trying to be offensive, and you don't even have your stereotypes lined up correctly.
