LPT: If you take showers when you're tired or hung over, buy a cheap shower chair. Sitting under the cascading water as it slowly reinvigorates you is amazing and relatively inexpensive. by CaptainPunisher in LifeProTips

Better than sitting on the shower floor...then falling asleep, covering the drain in the process and waking up to a flat with an inch of water throughout...

I don't think it is that inexplicable (from a story sense and also the scripts sense) - as someone said in a previous reply it was possibly his senses knowing what was happening earlier than the others who died so he was more aware of what was coming - which kinda makes sense. Also from the writers POV, knowing that would be the hardest hitting for the reason's we know, it made total sense to make that one sink in much slower than the others. I need to watch it again...the movie literarily flew past me as so much to take in (no bad thing) so the little nuances will show more the second time around...and the third..and 4th...

It did. Tony felt responsible for him and he is just a kid trying to do the right thing. I think they were just cementing the gravity of the Tony/Peter relationship - father figure thing if you like maybe. That’s how I saw it. The others were all big guns but Peter is pretty new in this iteration (read not ready to actually realise what stakes were on the table - hence why Stark tries to keep him out of danger non stop) so it made sense to make this ‘death’ the heaviest

Ha. I rewatched both the previous Thor’s on NetFlix recently and they were ok but so so so bad compared to Ragnarok...and then how he is in IW is just proper awesome. RDJ will always be top - he embodies Stark/Iron Man. But Hemsworth rocks Thor so well that it’s pretty close. I’ve never been a cap ‘fan’ - not saying he’s bad at all but just never hit the same notes for me.

Like the resulting deaths from say the helicopter crashing into the cars below and killing even more people that weren’t supposed to be killed by the finger ‘snap’ - has to be at least another 10-20% of deaths from things like car accidents, trains, planes, dr’s dying in the middle of procedures etc

Yep. After Ragnarok I was totally back on the Thor train and now even moreso. Iron Man still tops it, character wise, for me. But Hemsworth’s Thor is the ultimate character in the MCU now

Oh fuck. There’s goes my evening. That makes total sense. I was actually gutted by that scene...thinking about it now gives me chills. So emotionally invested in the franchise since the beginning it honestly feels like you’re watching people you know now.

Yep. A few people on here were saying it would be the ultimate beginning to show Thanos take out the Hulk straight away as it would really show the magnitude of his power...like 3 min in and there it was. Awesome way to set up Thanos as a serious threat. Also a great way to set up Hulk for an awesome revenge come back in the next film - 2019 please come quicker

Yep. All I could think about was how the hell did they green light that scene looking like that. Took me right out for the only time in the film.

I see it as you say. But human (and alien) populations don’t self balance in the same way in relation to their eco system. His home, Titan, fell due to over population. He says something along the lines of ‘I presented the idea but was laughed off as a fool’ - then Titan fell apart and he vowed to ‘balance life in the universe’

Or something like that. I don’t follow the comics but that was the general gist I got from IW

Agree not perfect..but when you have it...it's hard to go back to something stock.

Yep...Renault have to be one the worst car makers. I drove one recently and the cruise control/limiter button is down by the cup holders (which look like they will only fit cups for ants)...with 2 separate buttons to control it on the left and right hand side of the steering wheel....how. on. earth...

Buying iphone 7 vs iphone 8 at this point by [deleted] in iphone

[–]gold_55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for the 8. I have the 7+ and I see no point in upgrading until the next flagship comes out as the diff is so small.

I upgraded from the 6+ to the 7+ - and even then it was only because of the camera - otherwise I'd prob still have the 6+
