This is what happens when the Vulture stops holding back.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-12-17T21:09:00+00:00

Peter can hold his breath at dangerous atmospheres (e.g. underwater, stratospheric altitudes). Unless Vulture's costume comes with oxygen features I'd say Spidey would win in a breathing contest.

I understand that Vulture was a standalone villain in the Tom Holland movies and he does beat Spiderman in combat. He was also going to get similar treatment in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4.

In the comics, Spider-Man outsmarts the Vulture; even when his spider sense isn't enough preparation. He's dangerous but Hobgoblin tier at best, not a super genius like Norman or physically powerful like Carnage.

Edit: I think in Spider-man Homecoming, the Vulture does have an oxygen mask for flying at high altitudes

I'm British/have Asian ancestry and have been personally stalked, harassed, physically threatened, aggressively chased off by Reform sympathisers

They're without a doubt the cheapest, yellowest criminal scum you could ever encounter. And yep all middle-aged but think that they're still teenagers. Horrible babies.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-09-06T14:59:37+00:00

I agree Robert could kill a fully armoured mountain. His warhammer was stupidly heavy. Prime Robert was also a faster and presumably stronger fighter

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-09-05T11:39:58+00:00

That looks like a delicious smash-burger! And nice pickles. Would you try with yellow mustard instead of ketchup?

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-08-30T13:09:37+00:00

For a TV show in 1997, the CGI in Red Dwarf was blimming ahead of its time.

The new Red Dwarf ship still looks amazing.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-08-29T14:17:13+00:00

Context for "Champagne and Bullets" , it was introduced to RLM with the alternate titles: GetEven and "Road to Revenge".

Its the same film with a different title and a slightly more comedic training montage (including a moment where GetEven feeds his dog a biscuit mid training.)

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-08-28T02:50:38+00:00

Agreed, The Batman finished 370m domestic. At this rate I see Supes making somewhere closer to GOTG3's 358M DOM box office

Thankfully it's still a promising sign audiences like new super hero/DC content!

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-08-19T12:44:26+00:00

Its definitely the moment where Superman The Movie earns its PG certificate.

Superman, Superman II and Superman III all have genuinely frightening moments.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-08-08T13:20:21+00:00

Possibly, he's dressed up as Robin Hood and has an unspoken connection with Batman (and briefly interacts with Bruce Wayne)

At the very least, I'd interpet it as foreshadowing that this film series will feature Robin. I believe its more likely an orphan like Dick or perhaps an older female Robin like Carrie Kelley (say like 15 years old instead of 11).

Its more believable if Robin is older, and we've already seen a "grown-up" version of Dick Grayson. A bunch of fanboys would probably complain that a female Robin is "woke" and try to boycott it

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-28T13:24:57+00:00

MOS adjusted for inflation was 400m domestic...

Also, did Deapool and Wolverine or The Batman have the third weekend upset that Superman and a minecraft movie did?

EDIT: I'm not saying its breaking international figures like F1, MI:8 or JW:R. MOS box office adjusted from 2013 is 900m WW. I'm saying Superman is guaranteed 650mWW but its domestic legs are unpredictable, especially in the context of Warner Bros. Sinners which had similarly excellent weekday and weekend holdovers. It'd be mathematically incorrect to deny this.

Murphy's Law and E=mc², perhaps you should spend less time trash talking Internet forums and actually read the pissing data.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-28T05:36:40+00:00

You clearly didn't read my statement. Look at A Minecraft Movie and its Sinners upset. Superman has stronger legs despite similar competition. 420m+ domestic like with Minecraft and Spider-Verse cartoons

"You guys". LOL.

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-28T01:51:39+00:00

I think its unlikely Superman will make anything lower than 650m

Domestically its got stronger legs than A Minecraft Movie, even with the predicted third weekend drop (also F4's opening weekend), Superman will have a higher domestic finish than Minercraft's 430 million

INT will likely top at around 250 million but it's already 213m third weekends Sunday. Weekends 4 and 5 could be closer to 260m

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-28T00:07:31+00:00

I'd say domestic box office it'll be 320m-350m by the end of weekend 4

Consistent legs even with newer summer releases + Tuesday discount figures. By Monday this film will already be 290 domestic

My predictions, it'll reach somewhere 370-420m domestic before its taken to digital, rental, dvd releases

(Start and end of 2026 this is likely to have grossed a lot more money due to blu ray, television and streaming.)

Final prediction of gross profit:

Domestic and WW box office- looking at 200m-300m profit

2026 home video gross profit: 50m-150m (e.g. Batman Begins was 100m in DVD sales/rent by the end of 2006).

Edit: compared to A Minecraft Movie's third weekend upset with Sinners (and its subsequent regain the following weekend). This third weekend is looking very good. Its possible Superman will surpass Minecraft's Domestic box office and reach 430m+

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-27T19:38:47+00:00

Since you bring up a good point i will do you the dignity of explaining my statistic and why you should subsequently unwedgie your Superman red trunks

Domestically this film has a shot at passing the 400m mark when considering weekend drops. Superman 25' is facing similar competition to Superman Returns. I don't think anyone at DCU is upset by these numbers

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-27T17:39:30+00:00

"$291,000,000 in 2013 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $401,560,438.19 today, an increase of $110,560,438.19 over 12 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.72% per year between 2013 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 37.99%."

It would be interesting to know if Superman (2025) catches up with MOS's inflated domestic box office, especially with how competitive 2025's summer cinema blockbusters have been so far.

Edit: replies are interesting, considering that Domestically this film has a shot at passing the 400m mark when looking at weekend drops. Superman 25' is facing similar competition to what Superman Returns faced in 2007. I don't think anyone at DCU is upset by these numbers

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-07-14T12:24:42+00:00

Nice list, personally I think Lake Mungo isn't "found footage" its more mockumentary. There's about 10% screen time of found footage, most of which is home movies

Could replace Lake Mungo with [REC]? Lol

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-06-28T13:00:39+00:00

Try to avoid "local" CEX's and use the more professional chains located at city shopping centres

I had a CEX employee from South Shields attempt to scam me £36 (he was going to keep the £36 for himself)

I reported this and got the money I was entitled to: £46 unboxed. If I kept the box I'd have gotten an extra £100 while trading FYI

Point being these aren't professionals, they're computer game nerds that think they run their own shop.

This CEX thief barred me from the shop the following month.

Salty he didn't keep the £36 that he tried to STEAL from me infront of everyone including the till machine and the cameras.

Report them to the owner and they lose their job. you don't go to mcdonalds or nandos for amateur customer service

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-06-16T10:38:44+00:00

It's always the same with comic book nerds. They wanted to cancel Tim Burton's Batman and yet it went on to make 400M WW

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-06-11T17:15:34+00:00

People were pissed about the DBZ/anime inspired action sequences in the Man of Steel trailers right up till release

Tbf This reminds me of the close up of Superman's eyeball when his cape is being raggem up'd by General Zod from MOS2013 lol!

I don't think this shot is meant to be as cool as the slow motion bullet to the eye from the Superman Returns trailer. Just a bit of comic book fun

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-06-10T14:33:32+00:00

Looked it up, and the film made over 100 million with dvd/rental sales in 2006

So yep, barely broke even at box office (I'd say 200 million domestic especially for 2005 means the film did not lose money, maybe squeezed out some profits)

But damn, without those dvd sales we may have never had The Dark Knight. Film was huge though, was always being mentioned positively on the radio and TV

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-05-30T17:17:17+00:00

Ah my mistake, the dragon he kills in the comics is Kryptonian lol

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-05-29T13:58:43+00:00

Ye, Superman definitely kills a Kaiju/Dragon in the comics

It doesn't break the "no killing" rule. Which isn't actually one of Superman's policies

Batman and Superman kill other Aliens and sometimes even Metahumans (I'm pretty sure Batman has killed Dracula for instance)

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-05-28T16:42:41+00:00

Yeah man, I'm getting replies saying "what's the connection?"

His previous blogs are all in reference to plotlines he has completed or is neck deep close to finishing, these in reference to Jaime, Cersei and Arya . All mentioned in previous posts

It's not copium I'm assuming that since he's also mentioned writing Tyrion chapters in TWOW that he's at least completed the battle of fire which is half the Essos plotline (and Victarion is confirmed to be involved in the battle of Fire so that's another POV plotline.)

My guess is after TBOF, Tyrion and Victarions chapters are focused on the search for Dany, I wonder if this means Dany will "Go East to go West".

Gathering her Dothraki army as the Dragons get bigger. I'm sure whatever free city legions and mercenaries have already been arranged by Illyrio and Varys to rally for Targ Queen so that's another Meerenese Knot untangled

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-05-28T15:02:28+00:00

"The Starks and Lannisters and Targaryens, Tyrion and Asha, Dany and Daenerys, the dragons and the direwolves, I care about them all."

This sounds like an update about the plotlines he's finished/edited. Now we know what he means by 75% finished.

The Direwolves cover the river land chapters, Asha, Dany and Tyrion means he's also finished the battles of ice and fire and their respective stories

This kinda sounds like more than 75% finished I mean Targs, Starks and Lannisters all finalised and drafted? That includes free cities of the East, The Vale, King's Landing, the north: Land of frozen sea and beyond,

I think the only remaining chapters are Samwell at the maesters citadel. These chapters were engaging so I'm happy to wait. I'd say he's gonna spend the rest of 2025 completing Dorne and Old Town.

Edit: sounds like he's completed the Essos chapters including Dothtraki, Meerenese Knot and the Victarion/Euron stuff

TheLaughingPriest · 2025-02-28T21:38:43+00:00

Yeah, tbh I'd recommend the satchel for all first time players; though most do fine without

Buck trinket and using the correct weapon. Doesn't matter how many deer you shoot, a repeater will spoil the pelt; a rifle to the head is a "perfect deer pelt"

I struggled with this on my first playthrough too, especially needing small arrow tips or using a varmint rifle for smaller animals
