The final confrontation with Sarrano, while cool, is very contrived and confusing. Read body text:

Maybe I should have said convoluted instead of/in addition to contrived.

I was looking through my old posts and saw I posted here a couple months ago. Been meaning to post about this topic but got sidetracked. I’d post the video typically but I’m kinda too lazy to do it rn lol. Anyway, the scene is cool, emotional/impactful, etc but also contrived. Let me explain:

First of all, the duo getting to Sarrano moments after Trishka does is very convenient. Then, the actual fight. How is trishka knocked out the whole time (and would have stayed that way if Gray didn’t get to her) yet Gray stays conscious the whole time?? Ik gray is bigger and more experienced but trishka is a badass too and experienced a lot of the same stuff in the game that Gray experienced.

How about Sarrano possessing Ishi in general? How does that work? Nothing similar was shown anywhere else in the game nor was it explained. Sarrano doesn’t give any verbal commands before to the leash so how is it forcing ishi to do Sarrano’s will? Does the leash read minds? Then, how does ishi just rebel?

Also what does he mean by “all right gray, this one last time?” Did he expect to die? Also I don’t get why he just slowly walks over to Sarrano. Then somehow Sarrano starts beating his ass which is also weird. Sarrano is seemingly in his 50s or 60s. Ishi is a lot younger not to mention bigger and is literally a cyborg. Ishi should be the one doing an ass whooping.

The worst part tho is the forced crawling. Gray got slapped and choked but his legs weren’t damaged. Why is he just crawling? Better yet, why doesn’t he use his leash to grab the gun? I’ll tell you why: forced qte for the sake of dramatic effect. It’s made worse because moments later Gray actually does get up and use his leash.

Also the whole no ammo thing just seems so lazy/convenient. How is Sarrano out of ammo? He only shot Ishi twice, and before that he was just sitting in that room. And he doesn’t have spare clip? Smh

What do yall think? Did yall notice these back in the day?

Flash is the king of speedsters but why has he been done so dirty in the cgi and writing departments in live action? Speedsters such as Quicksilver, A-Train, Makkari, and even mere bullet timers in Matrix and Resident Evil have cooler fast scenes than live action Flash 😂😭but why??

How did MCU Cap, in just the span of a year, go from struggling with a peak human in an elevator to launching an attacking 8+ feet tall android hard enough to take a chunk out of a concrete/stone pillar?

The villain does the iconic pose. The boomer is way bigger than before. The drones look like a spec ops unit. Even the corpser is watching in awe. I’m happy to see E-Day has prioritized aura farming, arguably more than previous Gears games

Xenomorphs vs Necromorphs. Read body text for 1v1s and power ranking. Who’d win these & why? Did I rank them correctly? If not, what’s the correct ranking?

Going from weakest to most powerful:

Round 1: Xenomorph drone vs slasher Necromorph

Round 2: Xenomorph Grid vs Necromorph Chen

Round 3: Xenomorph Queen vs Brute

Round 4: Alien Earth Xenomorph vs Hunter

Round 5: Predalien/Yautjomorph vs Ubermorph

Grid is just a drone but based on feats he’s clearly better than average. Same for Chen despite being a slasher Necromorph. Grid was literally subservient to a queen so yeah. Despite Chen’s feats, he’s still easier to kill than a brute. The AE Xeno I personally put above the Queen based on feats because the AE Xeno is much faster and blatantly bulletproof. The Xeno killed a squad of armed soldiers in less than a second, and many times got blatantly shot without the bullets piercing its skin. Hunter is the biggest humanoid necomorph boss in DS1, but then comes the Ubermorph in DS2 which has better regeneration and has more lore to support it being stronger than the Hunter. Of course, Predalien should still be the strongest xenomorph put in live action simply because he’s a combo of a xenomorph and a predator/yautja, and it stalemated with Wolf the most badass Predator/Yautja in live action.

Rock’s contract aside, genuinely rank these 5 DCEU teams from weakest to most powerful. Explanations encouraged

After Rebirth, would you say this is more likely than not the direction this franchise is heading in? What do you think of people who want this?

Ever since Jurassic World 2015 I think this is the direction the franchise has been heading towards. It was speculated that Indominus had human DNA. In fallen kingdom, human cloning became a thing and Maisie seemingly had a connection to the Indoraptor. In Rebirth, there’s the D Rex. Etc

These 2 Banes (Ik they’re technically the same Bane but the point is him at 2 different stages, plus the canonicity of Assault on Arkham is questionable) vs these 2 Juggernauts. Who’d win and why?

Which of these 3 endings was most enhanced by its music, or had the best song choice? Disregarding the songs, which ending here stands on its own the most?

u/AdaptedEvoSupe — 2 months ago

Topher Grace Venom is arguably less evil than Tom Hardy Venom in his first 2 movies. Hear me out in body text:

Basically, Spider-Man technically tried to kill him via the bells. Venom luring spiderman to kill him was out of self preservation, because spiderman would try to kill him again if they crossed paths.

Tom Hardy venom was going to help riot establish the Symbiote army on earth. He just decided not to because of the bond with Eddie. They had a petty argument which led to their separation in LTBC which got several people killed because venom went from host to host and they were incompatible. Fuck it even in venom 3 he pretty recklessly knowingly signals the Xenophages a couple times.

Thoughts?

Say what you will about Spider Man 3, but this scene still gives me chills everytime

I LOVED the way Venom was defeated here, the pure adrenaline that Tobey is feeling plus the symbiote getting wild is gold to me.

And let's not forget, Spider Man 3 is still the only Spider Man movie that has Venom and Spider Man fighting in live action.
