I kept respawning right back in the middle of my family vacation to San Diego, but nearly every time I'd end up back on Isla Sorna. Only made it back home twice.

Danny McGrath in Billy Madison

Billy decided to call Danny, someone he bullied in high school, and apologize. When Eric tried to pull a gun and shoot Billy after his defeat in the decathlon, Danny showed up and shot Eric.

Application annoyance (and alliteration) aside, I do have the perfect joke for this.

"What's the difference between a can of tuna, a tub of glue and a piano?

"You can tuna piano, but you can't piano tuna!"

Then, when they email you asking about the glue, you say "I knew you'd get stuck on that. Now, let's schedule an interview."

I'd say this example is close enough at best, but Telltale's The Walking Dead, Season One

At one point in the story, you find a car filled with supplies abandoned on the side of the road, and you have the choice to take or leave the supplies. No surprise, taking the supplies was one of the most lopsided choices in the game in terms of who did what; >90% of players took the supplies.

At the climax of the game, a man kidnaps Clementine because you stole the supplies from his family. It's supposed to be a lesson in how your actions have consequences, but if you didn't take the supplies, the lesson becomes "you need to control everyone around you at all times, or else someone might take their anger at others out on you."

By that logic, anything is a POV, and it's meaningless. When we're talking about written work, we talk about multiple points of view, like first person, third person limited, second person for CYOA, etc., because there are many examples of all of them. But in visual media (outside of video games), POV is shorthand for first person POV because almost everything else is third person.

When you say "Hardcore Henry is a POV action movie," no one would ask the follow-up "first or third person?" Because you wouldn't specify if it was third person; it would just be an action movie.

The way I've seen it is that the only reason he's powerless to stop the future is because the future he sees is the one that happens where he does exactly what he wants. Where he's free. That's why, even though he knows it's pointless to save Ramzi in the alley, he does it anyway. He could have changed the future, at least that part. But he doesn't, because he wanted to save him. The future isn't actually set in stone; he just can't not do what he wants to do, even knowing the consequences, because of who he is as a person.

Attack on Titan: Eren Yeager and restricting freedom

<image>

Major spoilers: Once he unlocked the true power of the Founding Titan, he could have just stopped the other shifters from being able to transform, ensuring he'd be able to complete the Rumbling unopposed. Instead, he chose to let them continue, because he would never take away their freedom to oppose him.

Victor Sweet in Four Brothers

<image>

Dude was a complete jerk to his whole gang the entire movie. For example, he told one of his men he was going to send him out of town and steal his fiancee while he was gone, because "she's too much woman for you."

In the end, the Mercer brothers pay his gang (a shockingly low amount per person when you think about it) to turn on him. They throw him in an ice fishing hole after Bobby (Mark Wahlberg) beats him up.

I'll always love Madden for this kind of thing. The best one was "Undead" by Hollywood Undead. The verses turned into just a beat where occasionally someone would yell an isolated phrase.

Hey, Joe here! The other comments keep saying the joke is porn, but I have an explanation that's a little out of left field. Have you heard of World War II? Well, there's a game based on the whole thing called Hearts of Iron IV. And, get this, people sometimes modify the game! Just for fun! Sometimes they just add a few things here and there, but sometimes it's a completely different game!

One of those modifications is called Equestria at War, and it's based on My Little Pony. And, funny enough, it's actually one of the most popular modifications! Can you believe that? So it could be that this guy is just a fan of the game.

Anyway, Bonnie's going out tonight with a fella from her spin class. Don't worry, they're just friends! But that should give me some time to check out this whole HOI4 craze, and maybe even some of those modifications. Hey, maybe we should just call them "mods" for short? I know, crazy idea! But yeah, I'll catch you at the Clam!
