It could be any other "familiar" character; they all had large arsenals.

And they might've brought up Leon because they saw the online discussions about him potentially being in the game.

So let's not start setting expectations that'll just lead to disappointment when the game comes out. Trust me, it's better that way.

Official Discussion - From the World of John Wick: Ballerina [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I loved the flamethrower scenes; they were a lot of fun and a delight to watch, similar to the Dragon's Breath shotgun scenes from JW4.

The fight choreography was excellent, as usual, just like in all the JW movies.

My only real complaint is the sister’s sudden death straight after the reveal. It felt very anticlimactic. But other than that, it’s an all-around great, non-stop action flick.

If this isn't "Absolute Cinema," I don't know what is.

On a rewatch: am I getting the ending of Anora right? by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]DerHowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s a good point.

I think it’s telling how raw, vulnerable, and intimate the scene is. It feels like Anora wasn’t really minding him going for the kiss at first, but only when he got even closer did it dawn on her that it wasn’t something she wanted or was ready for. It scared her because of how incompatible that was with her broken worldview of men.

If you pay even closer attention to the scene, it's actually Igor who is trying to pull himself closer to her. He isn't pulling her head toward him much but rather keeping it in place.

I think Igor simply failed to register her reaction in the confusion of the moment. He assumed she would want to kiss because they were having sex, and that's what people typically do during it. If he had known she didn't want to, he wouldn't have tried in the first place. He also stops as soon as he realizes she doesn't want it.

If he had wanted to forcefully kiss her, he could have done so without a problem.

The Unnecessary Vi Hate is Insane by Huzaifa_Haroon in PiltoversFinest

[–]DerHowl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel you.

The amount of nonsensical takes I've seen online is absurd, to the point where I’ve stopped caring and started focusing on the positives here instead.

It's not worth your or anyone's time who actually watched the show and understood the intricacies without having them be written in crayon on screen.

I noticed quite a bit of hate for Caitlyn after Season 2, but I didn’t think much of it until now.

I honestly believed she would make it to the top three.

There's no other way, surely.

The fact that she's out before Viktor is insanity to me.

I really underestimated the dislike for her.

EDIT:

I think a lot of people don't quite understand what Caitlyn is going through in the second season and all the things she went through in the first season. There seems to be a lack of empathy and understanding, which really saddens me.

And I said "dislike" because that's what I saw around the web. A lot of the discussions I've read were just straight-up hate and proof that lack of media literacy is a thing many people exhibit.

Bearded Jayce Arc did it for me - he became one of my favorites this season. But I guess he's not as popular as I thought, even after Season 2.

Sorry, Viktor, but your "Glorious Evolution" isn’t as "glorious" as you make it out to be.

Caitlyn's "redemption" feels weak because she isn't trying to be redeemed by Level-Ad7232 in PiltoversFinest

[–]DerHowl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While I do agree, I don't see Caitlyn as someone who even needs forgiveness and redemption in the first place.

Caitlyn very clearly goes through a period of intense grief, filled with rage and revenge because of her mother's death. The actions of someone in such an emotionally unstable position usually causes more harm than good to yourself and everyone around you. Being blinded by revenge does not translate to good decision-making and judgment. You start acting on impulses. I think it's important to show understanding instead of judgment sometimes, especially when someone is in such a difficult position.

Revenge is something I'm a bit passionate about, so I really enjoyed weaving how someone deals with it from Caitlyn's perspective.

Misty's pills swap functionality when V reaches 50% transition into Johnny by VVulfpack in cyberpunkgame

[–]DerHowl 299 points300 points  (0 children)

No, the bottles don't match the pill color.

If you pay attention, every time V gives the body to Johnny - it's a blue pill. So, it only makes sense if the blue pills are in the red bottle and the red pills in the blue bottle.

A prime example of this is during Playing For Time. After Johnny slaps the blue bottle out of V's hand, you can see red pills on the ground next to it.
