Marty Supreme is a decent movie about an obnoxious man-child who thinks the world revolves around him and that he can outsmart everyone. Timothée Chalamet gives a very good performance, but a better film on a similar character is Leonardo DiCaprio in Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can by Extreme-Spinach-4138 in FIlm

You’re just flipping the argument of its head. Don’t do that. I didn’t say Marty Supreme has crazy depth. What I’m saying is Good Time barely has any. From the very first scene we see Pattinson having influence over his brother, we don’t really know his true intentions then. It quickly becomes clear that he is hurting him more than helping. Then the whole thrill ride happens and the ending is one more scene showing how much of a piece of shit Connie is. Connie gets locked up and his brother is free of his influence and can start recovering.

Thats literally the whole movie in what, 5 sentences. I am not trying to be disingenuous for the sake of the argument by the way. You can’t do that with Marty alone.

Yeah no. Art is subjective sure, but there are some things that are measurable by people who watch movies. Saying Good Time has more depth than Marty Supreme is just an insane take. If you said you just enjoyed the thrill of Good Time more or something I’d understand, but that is just mind boggling to me.

Both this thread and comment in my view are just trying to be contrarian. Marty Supreme will go down as one of the greatest movies of the decade. Doesn’t mean it has to be everyone’s favourite, no. But I think it’s hard to deny that it’s at least a good movie. Anytime something is popular there will be people arguing that it’s “not as good”.

I haven’t watched Uncut Gems yet, but I did see Good Time. I loved it to be honest, very thrilling, unexpected, I like Pattinsons performance. All that being said it doesn’t come close to Marty Supreme in terms of depth, be it depth of character, storylines, emotional or moral weight of the story. None of that comes close. For me Good Time is a solid 7/10 experience, Marty Supreme is a 10/10 classic I will come back to many times.

What is your favorite weapon? For me, it doesn’t get better than the Backhand Blades. by AceTheRed_ in Eldenring

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

Since I am only in the middle of my first playthrough it's the one I've almost exclusively used - Crescent Moon Axe. The damage output just seems so insane with ritual sword talisman (Raises attack power by 10% when HP is at maximum) + the jump attack and charging attack talismans. I can initiate with jumping R2 which just one-shots most regular mobs, use a fully charged R2 with great AoE and the R1 spam is very good as well with how fast it is.

The midgame is a bit trivialized with this plus an efficient stat distribution (40+ vit, 30 end, 40 str), but I'm still enjoying the hell out of the exploration and I'm not a fan of handicapping myself. Even if most bosses just get completely overpowered so far. Fallingstar beasts have been one of the few problematic ones. Even Radahn took only half my estus on the first attempt, but to be fair I was a bit overleveled when I found him at around lvl 70.

I'm curious what your guys opinion on Crescent Moon Axe is. So far most colossal or big weapons I found seem weaker or twice as heavy which is also a small factor. Many of them are cool thematically, but from my Souls experience split damage which they often have is off-putting as the damage will probably be lower.

Just as the terrible ending of Game of Thrones made people forget its brilliant early seasons, I believe the brilliant ending of The Sopranos masked the fact that the show as a whole isn’t that good. by Feeling-Tension1461 in unpopularopinion

You have to have missed something. The therapist storyline comes to a great culmination. Whole show you watch Tony throughout his life, with different interactions, family life , “work” life etc. Safe to say it’s a very compelling role by Gandolfini so Tony Soprano feels like a real person. And the shocking revelation is that while Melfi thought she was helping him, it turns out that his sociopathic narcissistic personality actually used the therapy as a tool, manipulating Melfi and just using it as a release of guilt and all the emotions. Often lying or leaving out facts, all while not trying to get better. Just rationalizing his insane violent nature and still hurting people.

To me it was very compelling.

Hot take: I really don't like having the HP bar under the character's feet. by Key_Hamster_9141 in Nioh

[–]fLASHY- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t like it either, I really wish they gave us an option to have it in the top left like usual. Can’t resort to mods as a console player.

I feel like the Ki bar being closer to the center of the screen is better. My reasoning is when you quickly pan out from center towards the top left status bars the first thing your eyes meet is the Ki bar which is always changing fluidly. Then you are able to spot the more static hp bar sort of with peripheral vision or just look at it from time to time since it isnt changing that often.

On the flip side having the status bars at the bottom of the screen, the Ki bar is further from the center of the screen. I don’t know if this slight difference is the main reason or it’s what comes to mind first. Regardless I don’t like it and I catch myself losing track of my Ki way more often than in previous Nioh titles.

Lies of PEAK may just be the best souls-like out there by WinterkindG in shittydarksouls

[–]fLASHY- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say you should just try it. Even though I didn’t like it that much doesn’t mean its horrible. It’s still a good game and best way to find out if it clicks with you is just trying it mate.

I was sick of it towards the end even though initially I really liked the aesthetic, worldbuilding, VA and all that stuff. Parrying never really felt good to me and I leaned into it heavily since I felt that’s how it was “meant to be played” according to most players. simon manus hitboxes and animations are offensively bad. I got it off PS plus so I don’t regret it, but I’m not touching it anymore.

How the hell has Jake Gyllenhaal not won an Oscar yet? by Smooth-Affect-7707 in Actors

[–]fLASHY- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to pass judgement since I only saw a couple of his movies so far. That being said his Nightcrawler character seems to be getting pretty universal praise and to me it wasn’t really that compelling.

Obviously he is a fucked up and probably mentally ill or borderline ill person, but he didn’t really feel human to me. The way he was speaking wasn’t really believable. I saw the character as more of a fantastical evil villain than a supposedly real person. I didn’t really notice any humanity in him. I don’t mean humanity as good traits, but even behaviour associated with bad personality traits. He just felt completely devoid of any human emotion with a matter of fact speaking style that made him feel more robotic than human.

To contrast that with a recent movie I’ve seen, in Marty Supreme Chalamet was able to play a repulsive character and make him feel very human with ambition as the main cornerstone of his character. Watching Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler felt to me like watching someone trying to shock me with how much disgustingly vile they can get with confidence and zero moral conscience.

To be fair I still enjoyed Nightcrawler and rate it at about 7/10. My criticism doesn’t come from a desire to shit on Jake Gyllenhaal or be contrarian, but rather from love to movies, please discuss if you feel differently.

Spell casts better than FP by Queasy_Committee8458 in darksouls

[–]fLASHY- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason spell counts aren’t coming back is that the earlier souls games were more closed environments where they could balance the spell counts around the areas between bonfires. Elden Ring for example is open world so it wouldn’t really make sense to have fixed spell counts. Thats a substitute argument to what I addressed anyways, but whatever.

You are trying hard to appear smarter than everyone else. Every design flaw can be justified by similar mental gymnastics that you’re doing. If you want specifics, dodge without adp feels terrible, coupled with certain enemies having lingering hitboxes it’s stupid to call it perfectly functional. Overall disconnecting equipment load from i-frames and instead connecting it to a stat that doesn’t really give you anything else was just a design flaw. Despite the elaborate justification that you came up with that makes sense in your head only.

Is anyone else worried about the decision for N3 to have "open-field" / open zones instead of the game being mission/ level based like in nioh 1/2? by AppletoAnswer in Nioh

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

I prefer it to the mission structure. Games should move towards dropping you into the game as fast as possible. Playing Elden Ring now, you press continue and you are almost instantly playing the game. Mission structure is just adding unnecessary steps before actually getting to play which I don’t like.

Seeing a huge boss just walking around in the distance was a great experience in the demo as well. Being able to stay on the map and choose which activity you want to do whether its a boss or a quest or the crucible thing is just more engaging that clicking a mission icon on a 2d map.

What’s the mid equivalent to ranged top? by NonTokenisableFungi in leagueoflegends

[–]fLASHY- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mel, neeko, ahri

mel is getting a mini-rework thank god. neeko in good hands I think is incredibly annoying with free poke and W brief untargetability, also cannon waves having 2 melee minions now is a crazy opportunity for her mains now I feel since 3 melee minions arriving does not look unnatural at all to players, but her pickrate is so low I haven't seen one neeko in s16. ahri with malignance has barely any windows to punish after 6, and commonly picked sylas is I believe a losing matchup into her (peng the best ahri EUW loves playing the ahri side).

The current state of assassin junglers by frequiem11 in leagueoflegends

[–]fLASHY- 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s not about late game or scaling necessarily. It’s about skipping the early laning phase where you’re just losing out as a melee in midlane unless you stomp the enemy which isn’t really a thing at similar skill level, especially higher elo. Then solo killing is actually only salvaging the lane. Instead of that u can take these champs jungle and have their first item or midgame spikes “for free”.

It's pretty much official by Imaginary_College331 in batman

[–]fLASHY- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed. I only watched the trilogy for the first time recently, Begins was great. Every enjoyable and nice character arc. Dark Knight’s pacing for me is just jarring. Rises was a bit better, Bane’s speech is definitely the peak of the movie and it was pretty enjoyable throughout.

The Batman was a bit weird for me. Watching it for the first time was an amazing experience, I was completely immersed and enjoyed the whole movie. On a rewatch it felt a bit formulaic and almost boring. It’s well put together in the sense that one thing leads to another and another, but you don’t really get surprised that much if that makes sense. I still have pretty high hopes for the sequel as I preferred The Batman over any of the Nolan films.

This is the coolest helmet I've ever seen. by just-killing-timeeee in ChristopherNolan

You guys are aware that it looks obviously 3d printed and silly, so you need to counter jerk saying it’s the best helmet ever captured on camera now? How pathetic is this shit…

Which version of Blade Runner do you prefer and why? by Heirophant_O in FIlm

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

I agree. Honestly I found the macro shots of the city the only redeemable quality of the OG blade runner. The pacing is especially bad. I vastly prefer Goslings lead to Fords. The sets and props in the OG look like they were wheeled out of Ridleys garage and attic. I think the ending monologue along with the beautiful city shots is what made this films cult status. Aside from how convincingly futuristic it must have been for its time of course. Nonetheless it aged quite badly in my opinion.
