I don't pay for premium and have no clue why I have this checkmark.

@YorchTorchGames Lmao dude....wtf are you on about?

[Emmerich @welledink]

@realDonaldTrump Dude is a fucking child.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@newstart_2024 McConaughey waxes poetic with a Texan twang to what amounts to mere self confidence and that blew your mind?

[Emmerich @welledink]

@itsmewitz @LeesiBB Why because you made up a provable fucking lie and got called out on it and instead of taking that L called me weird? What a fucking loser.

[Emmerich @welledink]

Batman has conventional hero traits...he's justice personified. An anti-hero is closer to a Constantine or Al Simmons or Punisher. None of these characters fight crime out of a selfless need. Constantine hustles, Simmons is being punished for killing innocents in the name of duty and only returned for selfish reasons, Punisher is more concerned with hurting the guilty than protecting the innocent. Don't confuse aesthetics for character traits.

[Emmerich @welledink]

No because Batman will sacrifice himself. Batman was inspired by Zorro and the idea of the noble hero. Which is why when Batman kills on screen it ruins the character. Killmonger kills innocent people for his goals something Batman would never do. Hence villain. T'Challa empathized with Killmonger because he recognized Killmonger's existence was a failure of the thrown. But the move makes it clear T'Challah is the hero and Killmonger is the villain.

@oFelipoca This is dishonest. All the cristicsms I've seen have recognized it's an artistic choice.

@Xoli_PN I'm pushing 40 and this looks so unbelievably boring

[Emmerich @welledink]

@si_dd_hant_ @BurbunPitt A movie is more than pretty visuals. There's a reason nobody remembers Rise of An Empire.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@BurbunPitt Del Toro and maybe Peter Jackson. Once maybe Scott but those days are gone. Your +2 would make visually stunning sterile epic so they're out.

@AidenPierc8474 @PlayerEssence Ai isn't new in this industry similarly to how social media existed before 2012 put the internet in everyone's pocket. It's all about ethics as the tool advances. Winning points on twitter doesn't make you right or smarter.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@PlayerEssence @day_patch None of these examples replace people. I'm guessing you're an engagement baiting moron.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@50PlusGamer1970 @GameSpot I'm old enough to remember when mfers had to know write from wrong if they were gonna criticize something.

[Emmerich @welledink]

And ambiguous lore for the sake of edginess "you clone the shooters too?"

"Yeah, oh yeah, government pays for that." It's a Purge 1 level of convenience that doesn't obliterate the movie but...is conveniently propped up by docile supporting character blindly following one competent even after they realize the gambit is up.

[Emmerich @welledink]

Good luck, Gave fun, Don't Die

Is such a missed opportunity. It's quite close to genius but suffers in post (from pacing decisions) and ultimately sincerity which it tries to make up for in the third act.

The apocalypse is just one big joke until suddenly we can't afford it to be.

Rockwell's (as amazing as ever) character is handicapped by a purposeful ignorance to hide the gambit. There's moments where he just "accepts" things because he has to for the plot to work which could have been justified by a sincerity we only see as a convenient payoff in the third act.

Still poignant, relative, and beats 99% of the bs dropping today.

@Itssan17 Connery was Scottish.
Brosnan is Irish.
Lazenby was Australian.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@jay134147 @choppaslide Y'all do not understand what an anti-hero is. Anti heroes have to be the hero of the narrative while lacking conventional hero attributes. T'Challa is on the nose morally superior in the story therefore he's a villain.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@davidbarbexi @choppaslide Exactly, "not a villain."

[Emmerich @welledink]

@RoastedSurgery @choppaslide Ryan Coogler didn't invent sympathetic villains he barely executed one properly.

[Emmerich @welledink]

@harlem7en @ezzyskii He literally killed his own people and shipped weapons everywhere to start a global war with no regard for the collateral.
