Bane's death was anti-climactic


I thought so

reply

Agreed.

reply

All the villain deaths in Nolan’s trilogy were anti-climactic.

reply

I had the same thought when I saw this movie the first time. I was actually unsure if Bane was dead because of how nondescript and abrupt his death was.

reply

His death wasn't lame, it just felt so because of PG-13... Instead of being blown to bits or seeing any gore at all, he is simply blown across the room

reply

I agree 100%. It was so abrupt I thought we were going to see him again.

reply

During the middle of a battle and when a nuclear bomb is going off in 11 minutes they don't have time to give a drawn out elaborate death to Bane, his death was very realistic, plus the focus had pretty much shifted to Talia by that point and she is such an iconic character it makes sense they didn't focus too much on Bane.

yaa its almsot like batman learned nothing. wow "go for the weak mask". worlds best detective

reply

The first time Batman fought Bane he didn’t care about himself he almost wanted to die being Batman therefore it makes sense that he wouldn’t do any research on Bane and learn his weaknesses. It wasn’t until he rose from the pit that he’s now the Batman character we are all familiar with, one who values his own life and because of that will fight longer and harder than ever before. This was like the entire point of the movie, no wonder you don’t like it you didn’t get it

Edit: you have to give Nolan a lot of credit by taking such a ridiculous concept as the Lazarus Pit and adapting it to the real world, well done Nolan

reply

yes because "valuing life" teaches you to go for the mask. tard confirmed.

stick to transformers buddy

reply

Uh that wasn’t at all what I said, reading comprehension isn’t your thing is it?

reply

yes I know that was my point from the beginning. im bringing it back to my comment. so if you didn't address is, then why the fuck are you commenting?

reply

Because you are misrepresenting Bruce’s character arc in order to oversimplify it as a cover for not actually understanding his character arc. I see right through you and your strawman kid

reply

[deleted]

Uhhh because his arc was about more than just going for the mask. Him going for the mask was just a way of conveying his arc along with several other things like him leaving Gotham. What you’re doing is focusing in on one tiny example of how the arc was represented in an attempt to devalue it by oversimplifying it. It’s very dishonest

reply

hahaha little soy boy had to report the comments lol.

point out where I said the word arc once? The OP was about banes death being underwhelming. I was agreeing and talked about the mask. where did I say arc? ill be waiting?

reply

You said he learned nothing in the pit except go for the mask and a whole lot more happened to Bruce in the pit than just that, and I have clearly explained the emotional changes he went through ie his character arc. Again you are misrepresenting what happened in the pit as a way to make the film seem shallow because you don’t fully understand how he developed and changed as a character

reply

where in this thread did I say that? IM TALKING ABOUT GOING FOR THE MASK. please try and learn to read. I know its hard but even you can do it . try again sweety :*

reply

You directly said he learned nothing except go for the mask. It’s at the top of this thread, genius. The first time he could have done his research on the mask but he didn’t because he almost had a death wish , he had to rise from the Lazarus Pit first and become reborn, a man who now values his life and wants to defeat Bane so he can have a life past defending Gotham, literally the entire franchise was building up to this

If you understood Bruce’s character you wouldn’t have complaints such as these kiddo

reply

ill try again since reading is hard.

the OP said banes death was boring. I said yes going for the mask is dumb. your tarted talking about the pit and arc. IDC. again I mentioned I dont care about this arc and valuing life, im talking about the mask. and here you are. 4 post later. still going on about the arc.

so again where did I say that? I know reading is hard sweetie. try again. provide the quote please sweetie ;*

reply

You said he learned nothing in the pit clearly he did kid, again you don’t understand how Bruce grew as a character. Him going for the mask was one way of conveying his character arc which you clearly didn’t get kid

And lol it’s dumb to exploit your opponents weakness? Thankfully you aren’t a screenwriter

reply

"yaa its almsot like batman learned nothing. wow "go for the weak mask". worlds best detective"

There you go, whether this was related to the OP or not is irrelevant, I never said it was, I was politely correcting you that yes he did learn a lot more in the film other than just "go for the weak mask"

reply

YES WHERE DID I BRING UP THE ARC> you keep imposing it in the convo and when I laugh it off and dismiss it you keep saying "see you talked about the arc!"

readings hard for you isnt it>

LOLLLLL you sound like the pyscho you are. get it over with ;)

reply

Because you said he didn't learn anything and you were wrong, that is why I brought it up. This has to be the 80th time I have explained this buddy.

reply

again stop putting your own delusions in what I write. I wrote "yes because "valuing life" teaches you to go for the mask."

again im saying I DONT CARE ABOUT THE ARC.

so again where did I bring it up and connect it? try again LOL. hes on the verge hahahaha

reply

Because what you said was factually inaccurate that's why. I was politely correcting you since it seemed you were confused. And I clearly explained multiple times how his character arc is connected to the mask, I don't know how to dumb this down any further.

reply

"Because what you said was factually inaccurate that's why. "

|So I didn't bring up the arc or mention it? your concessions duly noted hahahahhahahahah

"And I clearly explained multiple times how his character arc is connected to the mask, I don't know how to dumb this down any further."

where was I talking about the arc? again PROVIDE A QUOTE for the third time.

am I giving you the attention you need to stop yourself? hahaha

reply

You said all Bruce learned was to go for the mask, that is not accurate so I corrected you. Also him not going for the mask the first time but going for the mask the second time was important because it was one way his arc was conveyed. This really isn't hard kid, take your time and actually read this time.

reply

lol "go for the mask" is detective iq level 1000000. LOL you re reatarded

reply

What he discovered was a lot more complex and deep than just "go for the mask" but again we have clearly established that went right over your head.

reply

which is why I didn't bring up the arc. so again where did I say it? I in fact said the opposite. try again tard

reply

You said he didn't learn anything except go for the mask, he learned quite a lot more than that which was represented by his arc. I brought it up to show you that he did learn more than just go for the mask. You know I am willing to teach you but you have to be willing to be taught.

reply

LOL AGAIN THE ARC. WHICH I NEVER BROUGHT UP> hahahahahahajhah spazzo cant read hahahah

reply

You brought up that he didn't learn anything other than go for the mask, the arc proves your statement incorrect.

reply

yes in his fight against bane he went for the mask. as we saw. which arc? I never brought up an arc? can you show me where I did? hahahah hes going to do it

reply

Did he try to disconnect the tubes??? Didn't think so.

I brought up the arc because it invalidates your claim that he didn't learn anything except go for the mask. This has to be the 10th time I have told you this.

reply

It certainly looks like he's swinging for the mask specifically, avoiding body blows so he can wait for a good strike on the face. The first big opening Bane gives him he does a hook maneuver with his gauntlet talons to deliberately slice the mask. Basically, he does everything but say, "I know your weakness! I know to hit your mask!"

I don't think that says anything about arcs, per se, but I think the implication is that Wayne knows to hit the mask.

reply

He was clearly punching Bane in the face which is ineffective , he wasn’t going for the tube which is what he did the second time after he learned about the mask. Bruce lost the first fight because:

A) he was out of shape
B) he didn’t know what the mask did (he learned that from prison Alfred)
C) part of him wanted to die being Batman

reply

I think that's mostly what I just said, at least as far as the first fight he doesn't aim for the mask and the second fight he does.

reply

Yes during the second fight he used his gauntlets to disconnect the tube which cut off the painkiller going to his face which meant his pain started kicking in and he shut down. In the first fight all he did was punch him in the face

reply

THATS FUNNY...I SAW THIS POST AND WHEN I THOUGHT OF WHAT MY RESPONSE WOULD BE...IT OCCURED TO ME...I CANT REMEMBER HOW BANE DIES...OR HOW THIS DAMN MOVIE ENDS FOR THAT MATTER...AND IVE SEEN IT 3 OR 4 TIMES,NOT RECENTLY...BUT STILL...HMMM🤔

reply

Bruce defeated him and when he was beating him to tell him where the trigger was it was revealed that Miranda Tate was Talia al Ghul and was in league with Bane, she stabbed him and was about to blow the city but Gordon deactivated the circuits to the trigger. Talia leaves and Bane is about to execute Bruce but Selina shows up and blasts him with the Batpod.

Bruce flies the bomb over the bay and it appears he died getting rid of the bomb but it is later revealed that he ejected at some point and fixed the autopilot off camera. Now that he is able to leave the pain of his parents death behind him he can now say goodbye to Batman and live his life with Selina. He leaves the city of Gotham in Gordon and Blake's hands the latter of which he leaves the coordinates to the Batcave. As Blake enters the Batcave a platform he built rises up and takes him with it and the movie literally ends with the "Dark Knight Rising"

reply

LMAO...THE BLAKE PART I REMEMBER...THE REST IS JUST GONE FROM MY MEMORY...WEIRD.

reply

That was one of the greatest endings ever and TDKR was one of the best theater experiences I have ever had.

reply

I REMEMBER LIKING IT...PROBABLY TIME FOR A REWATCH OF THE WHOLE TRILOGY.

reply

In my opinion this is the greatest trilogy/franchise of all time. Both the 2nd and 3rd films are in my Top 25 of all time.

reply

yes we know. you love it so much you made 4 sock accounts to talk about it.

reply

Please provide evidence of these 4 sock accounts you speak of.

reply

Let me help you out with providing his sock accounts.

ohh it was clear. in his other post to me he said "Please show me evidence I am actively using five different accounts right now."

he actually thinks hes clever acting using specific wording. the guy has delusions he thinks hes a lawyer. this board is his entire life".

hes a pathetic little rat

reply

Again show me evidence i am using those accounts at the same time. Changing your username does not equate to having sock accounts. I’ll wait......

reply

this is one of the few superhero movies i have watched.

reply

Yeah it was lame and vague, which is a shame because he was an excellent villain in an otherwise fantastic film.
