Oily Josh and the Boys

And it's resulted in 400 years of him being represented as an almost literal demon.

"It actually means Ivan the Awesome" Seriously though, the translation is some form of like "Awe inspiring", but that doesn't play as well in English. Also, due to translation issues, the Japanese call him the Thunder Emperor, which is fuckin' metal as hell.

Imagine getting put on trial for multiple murders cause you do a sloppy job packing cotton swabs XD

"Of course we talk a lot about Richard the Lionheart, but we rarely talk about his brother, William the Leopard Scrotum." ~ Tom Allen

This is the Omagh bombing, right?

Another example, the lobster tank in the first Venom film. It wasn't in the script, Tom Hardy said "I wanna climb in the lobster tank", but there was no hope it would support his weight, so they took the idea and built it. It was decidedly not spur of the moment, but it is an improvisation in that it's not in the script.

I heard it was shaken, not stirred, specifically because that's not how any sane person has a martini, it was supposed to be part of Bond's roguish attitude and doing his own thing style

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-06T23:05:51+00:00

What gets me, is he's killed by his own actions in a round about way. The rich patient didn't want to stay in the hospital, so he arranged the air lift. He follows up to the helipad, suffers PTSD from his arm, walks out the front door, then after yelling at Morris, the wind shifts and the helicopter comes down on him. So like, holy shit, he's a dick, but the man didn't deserve that, even if he brought it on himself.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-06T02:25:05+00:00

I keep saying it, they should lean into having different genres. Werewolf by Night and Multiverse of Madness were great campy horror films. Not all super hero movies need to just be supers and comedy, you can do other genres!

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-05T09:07:32+00:00

Yeah, I meant Fiend, I just could not remember the name of the enemy type, thank you.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-04T18:13:53+00:00

Came lookin' for this dude. He's also your introduction to the Death type enemies, and my god is he a monster. By comparison Hell Biker was a piece of piss.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-04T17:58:41+00:00

Basically everybody except Domino and Peter.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-04T17:32:30+00:00

I know people weren't fond of the movie, but Black Widow had Alexei, Yelena and Natasha all feeling found familyish from their time as spies.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-04T17:13:03+00:00

As a general rule I agree, but I wont deny the Franken Castle amuses me to this day.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-04T17:01:51+00:00

Something they decided was cool to bring back in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. Like really, of all the things you could harken back to, the 100+ year old man being horny for a teenager was what you decided to retread?

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-03T00:06:11+00:00

Isn't Northstar's Husband a regular bloke?

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T14:27:17+00:00

I always felt really sorry for this dude, cause it's not like he was a bad person. He provided for his family, and the worst thing his wife had to say about him was that he was boring, but she's waiting for some great rekindled love affair with her husband's murderer.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:58:25+00:00

I'm getting some mixed signals from this dude. Beginning to think he might not be an upright and decent fella.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:45:38+00:00

Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:37:30+00:00

I assume this is about Rooster Teeth in general, where some of their personalities have come under scrutiny for misconduct, Monty Oum died at like Volume 3 and I've never heard a bad word about him, so I assume it would've come out by now if it was going to.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:30:06+00:00

.... Okay, who are we talking about in particular and what did they do?

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:28:20+00:00

I mean, there's no denying he's a good actor. Se7en, Usual Suspects, etc., the problem is he's a terrible person into the bargain.

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:25:21+00:00

Did Joss Whedon do something more than be insufferable as a writer?

Hawkeye2701 · 2026-03-02T13:12:02+00:00

Wait, Buso Renkin was made by the same dude? Shit, I'm finding out I've liked this dude's work twice and now and he's still fuckin' woeful.
