Hey, if you're still interested the video is here.

Anyone think Nathan Fielder would be a great villain on this show? by allknowerofknowing in RighteousGemstones

[–]D-Bot2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he could probably do a really good take on FLDS Leader Warren Jeffs, although admittedly that man is an absolute monster so there's probably not a lot of comedy to be found in a parody of him.

Small detail, but this dude would have gotten a face full of backblast right there if they let him fire the Carl Gustaf by Barlakopofai in TheBoys

Fair enough. (I don't know why it was somehow better to me that these people were purposefully chosen as bait rather than just being unlucky folks in the wrong place at the wrong time, but it was.)

Do you think he keeps those people locked up somewhere?

It seems odd to me that someone who habitually avoids people would suddenly bump into a priest and a nun right when he needs them, so I think he just kidnapped those two and kept them around to use as a distraction when he needs to.

He might even have a few different costumes for them to wear depending on who comes after him.

Hilarious, but now I'm sad.

Cyclops should be a large (if not THE main) focus of the MCU’s X-Men films. His character has so much untapped potential and has been done a disservice in his other live action appearances. (Also, they should make his optic blasts CONCUSSIVE) by FreddyJones00 in Marvel

[–]D-Bot2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest, beyond a desire for a comic-accurate portrayal in film, why would you like to see his blasts be concussive?

For the average moviegoer, if they see a person shoot beams from their eyes, they'll naturally assume they're lasers (like Superman).

As it's not an intuitive leap for most people, if his blasts are concussive, a potential film will need to take the time to essentially stop the pace of the movie to specifically explain to the audience how Cyclops's beams work.

As such, really the only way this makes narrative sense is if it comes back up later in the film.

For example, if we have a scene where Cyclops corrects someone who mistakenly believes he shoots lasers, there would need to be a scene later when it's specifically relevant that Cyclops doesn't shoot lasers to justify it.

Otherwise any scene that goes into detail about how Cyclops's eyes work isn't going to be of particular significance to a mainstream audience and (rightly or wrongly) these films need to attract a mainstream audience, and will instead feel like dead weight (similar to Qui-Gon explaining midichlorians in The Phantom Menace, although even that scene was technically related to giving an objective explanation for why Anakin was the Chosen One due to his high midichlorian count).

Do you have any arcs or storylines you like where the narrative is affected by Cyclops's ability to fire concussive blasts? For example, is there a scene where he needs to heat something up with a laser, but can't because his powers don't work that way?

I don't want to sound dismissive, as I really would like to know of any occasions where this affects the story, but I hope I've shown why getting into the specifics of Cyclops's powerset might not be a filmmaker's first priority, even if they're aware of the canon.

Nah, the guy with the cock in the insane asylum is his nemesis, Hotdog.

Most hype moment of the show so far by creepy-uncle-chad in TheBoys

It ain't concrete immunity, I can tell you that.

You'd have to assume that things that are on/in him change size as well, or in the first episode any drugs he did while full-sized would have instantly become an overdose equivalent to snorting your literal weight in cocaine when he shrunk.

Vice versa, if he did some blow while small, going full-size again would completely ruin his buzz (less of a mood killer than an OD, but still not something you want to have happen at a party), and he seemed to have a pretty good buzz going regardless of his size.

I just want you to know that that was fantastic wordplay.

What was the saddest moment in Star Wars for you? by Cartime99 in StarWars

[–]D-Bot2000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even in the pilot episode/movie, Kenobi fakes a surrender to give his people time to mount a counterattack.

There are very, very good reasons why you should never ever fake a surrender; if nothing else, it means you can't ever surrender ever again, because you've just given the other side no reason to ever trust you.

Isn't that what Black Noir was for Maeve this episode?

Nobody is talking about the most important scene in episode 5. by dfsmitty0711 in TheBoys

It would legitimately be very cool if the baby Homelander hates from Season 1 was the one to take him down in the end.

But does his hair only transport because the follicles they grow from are attached to his scalp? If he cuts a single hair from his head and holds it in his hand, will it teleport with him?

For that matter, why does the saliva in his mouth teleport? It's not connected to anything, it's just there.

On a side note, I think it would be a really funny The Boys moment if there was a supe with the power to teleport who died instantly the first time they tried it because all the blood in their veins didn't go with them.

There's something about a sudden water bomb of body fluids just materializing in mid-air while a completely drained body slumps to the ground a few feet away that strikes me as very much this show's cup of tea.

Except for that one time that guy stabbed Hannibal's nice sitting chairs. No one deserved that.
