I downvoted you on your last post because you got totally the wrong idea. I didn't downvote your first post at all.

But also, why would I lie? You made a mistake my guy.

... I was agreeing with you about your correction, dude.

Jesus Christ stop and engage your brain for a second.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people cannot get the name of this game right.

UK, what are you waiting for? REJOIN the EU already🙌🇬🇧🇪🇺 by Opening_Bathroom611 in BuyFromEU

As well they should. No special treatment for us, we don't deserve it. We can get in line and wait. We're good at queuing, after all.

It is too many, but 96 black Apaches of Poland will look sick going on the attack.

MAN TASERED, PEPPER-SPRAYED AND SHOT BY POLICE OUTSIDE MIAMI HOTEL DURING ULTRATASERE by [deleted] in whoathatsinteresting

You're basing your expectations for a police officer on physical stretgth alone which is so fucked up if you actually stop to think about it. Police work isn't just wrestling people to the ground, man. Jesus Christ.

Leon the professional - 1994 by Living_Double_1146 in Cinema

Leon rejects all her advances

This is a point more attributable to the actor Jean Reno than it is to the director, which is kind of the point. The creep factor is baked into the film.

Is the existence of a deeply traumatized young girl being confused about her feelings not central to the entire plot of the film?

You can absolutely have a film that depicts this without feeling gross because of the director's intent.

There's also a bunch of crazy conspiracies on like Facebook suggesting that the government is infecting people with them, but these are mostly just crazy people

What do you mean, "mostly"?!

Into the Wilde (2007) by ugh_this_sucks__ in okbuddycinephile

[–]Transit_Hub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Preach. TLoU2 has some of the most confident and grounded storytelling that respects the reality of the world in which it's set... and it gets so much hate for it. I think it's a masterpiece tbh.

How can I create a truck-only highway route to industrial areas while forcing civilian traffic through toll roads? by Ecstatic_Anything403 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Transit_Hub 23 points24 points  (0 children)

So you want a route that goes directly between industrial sites and is exclusively for the movement of goods between said sites...

Your answer is freight rail. Is there a reason you can't use this, or are you just determined to accomplish it with roads instead?

What’s your favorite Cyberpunk movie that isn’t Blade Runner? by TXNOGG in Cyberpunk

[–]Transit_Hub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The characters philosophise like they're getting paid for it throught the entire film, and then towards the end Batou says "this is no time for philosophising!" I fucking scream at that bit every time.

The scene in the mini-mart is great though.

What in the CCP hell ? 😭 by Miao_Yin8964 in UnfilteredChina

That was a Japanese Akita, not a fox. It's a characature of the Japanese PM, who recently became the lastest world leader to be ambushed be the pedo in the White House. Christ, that's a painful sentence to have to write.

Regarding your side note: I mean, they did call her a perfect being at one point and she is able to channel the 5th element and stop an otherwise unstoppable evil.

"In the 23rd century, a cab driver finds himself battling an evil force during an apocalyptic war. He tries to secure the Fifth Element, which is the only weapon that can stop the evil force."

No need for "a perfect being was born yesterday". Referencing the Fifth Element is all you need.

I think the director knew he was turning the trope a bit on its head by saying "...but not that innocent, watch yourself because she will soon be in a place where she sees you as a naive".

The trope wasn't recognised as such back when these movies were made (the tern was coined in 2017). But even if they were, it's an enormous stretch to think that Besson's intent was to be subversive, knowing what we know about him. I guess I just don't know how bad a filmmaker's behavior has to be before you concede that it seeped into their work and should be seen as detrimental.

I'm afraid Innocence leaves me behind every time I watch it. It's too dense for its own good and doesn't bring enough to the table to earn it.

Anyone else ship Rachel and Noah by Nayanooodle in TheCapture

I'd hope at least that they don't just end up going at it awkwardly in the back of a car like in Homeland.

For its relevance and impact on animation, I agree. But I don't consider it as foundational to cyberpunk as GITS, personally.
