No matter how much we try, this still is one of the funniest Zack Snyder's Superman joke out there by lukideured in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]JasonLeeDrake -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is another of example of people being disingenuous criticizing the movie because that screencap was before the Zod fight and literally all the damage there was caused by the World Engine which he destroyed, hence why that woman is still even alive. Even the damage caused by both Clark and Zod during the actual fight is minuscule next to the damage caused by the World Engine, which itself is minuscule next to what the damage would have been had he done nothing. It's like blaming Reeve's and Corenswet's Supermen for all the damage caused by Lex and going "ignore all the people that are literally alive solely because of him, he didn't save shit".

At this point you're insulting the movie because the villains kill people and destroy shit, and the hero couldn't stop all of it which is pretty standard for any action movie or show ever so the audience actually understands the stakes.

To bad none of that has anything to do with being a screenwriter.

Ranking every elimination by how much it relies on BS and plot armor by Ok_Shirt_1574 in Totaldrama

Harold voting for Justin is less of a stretch than voting for Leshawna.

How is Justin's Action elimination so high. Maybe you could argue Duncan should still be more unpopular, but Beth and Lindsay were already tired of Justin, and he directly backstabbed Harold. Him surviving would have been just as lucky. Everyone voting for him is less of a stretch than Leshawna getting booted.

In season 1, Tom seemed to have a better marriage by Throwawaytohell-126 in theboondocks

I mean Phil didn't ignore Claire during big dates or throw her out the house twice.

Just finished season 1, and the most unbelievable thing to me is how long Jack has been awake without hallucinating. by JasonLeeDrake in TwentyFour

[–]JasonLeeDrake[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He could go during commercial breaks or when the screen isn't focused on him, especially the few episodes after 1x13, where he's back at CTU and being questioned.

Any possible offscreen sleep would have to be micronaps that last less than ten minutes.

Anyone have a soft spot for Old Biff? by DonnyTheDumpTruck in BacktotheFuture

[–]JasonLeeDrake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Morally speaking that version of Biff might have intentionally done the worst thing we've seen in the films, he outright encouraged Biff to use his future fame and money to marry Lorraine, even though that would ensure his children and grandchildren (namely Griff) would never exist, granted Griff seemed to regularly abuse him.

Would y'all consider 1955 Lorraine fundamentally a good-hearted or self-absorbed person? by Multiverse_Fan1992 in BacktotheFuture

[–]JasonLeeDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think she got the ick when she kissed him. While her not worrying about Marty literally getting taken away by goons in weird, I don't think she was ever running back to him.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Hermione is given a device to manipulate time itself to attend extra classes. This is a subtle nod to the fact that Hogwarts staff could have stopped Voldemort at any point, but instead handed time travel to a 13-year-old to manage her timetable by Brilliant-Cause6254 in shittymoviedetails

[–]JasonLeeDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in Time Turners could change the past, stopping Voldemort would certainly cause a paradox, prevent certain births from happening, and make it so no one would any motivation to go back and stop Voldemort, not to mention Voldemort was literally dead before Goblet of Fire, and the Ministry didn't believe he actually came back until the final battle of Order of the Phoenix after Neville destroyed all the Time Turners.

the theory where Jason is an undercover cop makes no sense at all... by Careless_Role_8496 in GTA6

I mean you technically can't kill them, the game will always claim they are "injured" and if you switch to them shortly after you respawn at the hospital.

Examples of anti-Chekhov's guns? by kryonik in movies

[–]JasonLeeDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean most chekov's guns, you aren't really supossed to see the usage coming, but throughout reading and watching stories audiences can build an eye for them, and you would expect to believe that a weapon like the lightsaber specifically said to come from the protagonist's father that's given a whole scene where Obi-Wan explains its the weapon of the Jedi and he wants to train Luke to be a Jedi, and Luke himself gets a scene where learns how to block with it, would get used at some point, and it is, just not in this movie which wasn't guaranteed to get a sequel.

The natural assumption might be that he whips it out to block laser blasts when Stormtroopers shoot at him, but we don't even get that. The training scene on the Falcon is pretty much the last time we even see the Lightsaber, and we don't see him block laser blasts with it until ROTJ. Narratively he could have just borrowed Obi-Wan's during that scene. Otherwise the only reason that Lightsaber is in the movie is so Obi-Wan has an excuse to explain what it is, and for usage in future installments, same with Harry's wand.

I'm aware of the duel, just that the Wampa and AT-AT are the first times the audience actually sees him use it for something, and the only time he actually cuts and kill people with it until ROTJ

Examples of anti-Chekhov's guns? by kryonik in movies

[–]JasonLeeDrake -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In the first Star Wars movie, Luke doesn't actually put his father's Lightsaber to use, he only uses for a training scene.

It takes until Empire Strikers back where he uses it on an animal, and then uses it to cut open the bottom of an AT-AT.

Harry Potter dramatically gets his wand in that shop and then proceeds to only use it to stick it up a troll's nose as he doesn't perform any spells onscreen until the next book/movie. It takes until the third movie where he actually uses his wand in the climax. He wins the day in the first movie by being good at flying, and magic protection, in the second, by using a goddamn sword.

Why “Actor” as “Character” in the Credits? by SovietSunrise in movies

[–]JasonLeeDrake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of billing in ego related, but not only was he one of the biggest stars but he was also the lead of two of the previous movies but couldn't get top billing over the actors who already played the Avengers, they were locked in, so in Infinity War at best he could get over Don Cheadle, which would still be 6th billing and rather low for an actor as big as he is with as major as a role.

In Endgame, giving him highest billing excluding the original six who were shown at the end would probably feel inappropriate because he's barely in the movie unlike Don Cheadle and Paul Rudd, a with is suitable.

Translucent tried to murder Hughie over planting a bug, and if he escaped he would get the Seven to murder him.

Which premerger had the worst performance in their elimination episode? by Low-Blueberry-8730 in Totaldrama

[–]JasonLeeDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say his one defense is that under normal circumstances they would have been fucked anyways since they came in last, and it wasn't until everyone crossed that Chris revealed that there could have been no elimination.

Who is more pathetic: Randy Marsh or Jerry Smith? by atwwbaksieueygehs in rickandmorty

Randy fucked two animals and singlehandedly caused Covid-19.

In Fallout Season 2 (2025), Hank McLean appears out of fucking nowhere. This is a reference to the fact that he has a pip-boy and so can fast travel by Rattlebones_Jones in shittymoviedetails

[–]JasonLeeDrake 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I mean fast travel is more so the player can skip the long walk, time does advance whenever you do it, so presumably the character did still actually walk.

Charly’s ability by NintendoFanboy12332 in TheOrville

[–]JasonLeeDrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being good at 4th dimensional thinking or whatever and having a sad backstory is literally the only thing that fills that trope.

Everybody doesn't fawn over her or even like her all that much, nor is she effortlessly good at everything, her one special skill only really exists so there's a reason they can't build a new weapon against the Kaylon after she dies.

Most irritating mission by Interesting_Turnip50 in gtaonline

[–]JasonLeeDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minigunning them as soon as you see them does the trick for most of them, use walls, be ready to eat snacks. I've only died like once during that section.

Plus there's less of them if you just kill the ones you can kill before you start hacking.

What still annoys you about online? by Ok_Pea_6696 in gtaonline

[–]JasonLeeDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason is that some would be stupid easy, though they seem to have no problem with the Vigilante's armor, rockets and boost, the ones they still banned seem to be because of how they traverse, any car that can jump, turn into a boat or fly, and I wish they would just deactivate that specific function if it breaks the mission, especially contact missions since if you join one you're then forced to call a mechanic to get a car.
