He's been sat in the attic eating crap for the last 35 years, of course he's bigger. I can't imagine ghosts lose weight through exercise (though maybe through exorcise..... thank you I'm here all week)
Not sure if this counts as a defence or not, but I got the strong impression that the implication was she was crushing on the ghost really hard, and wanted to be a ghost so she could kiss her or something. I say it's not really a defense because I'm so glad they didn't do that it would have been awful. No doubt they're going to save the 'reveal' she's non-binary transexual or whatever for the next one.
That makes some sense, but the way they were spoken about made it seem like they were some ancient legacy, and that they were the only atomics they had. Why would they move ALL of them there if that was the case? It just doesn't quite seem right.
I could be wrong, but my interpretation was that you have to strike in a particular way to get past the shields. If you imagine for example a slash across the throat, while the movement itself could be quick, if the speed at which the blade approaches the throat is slow the shield may be rendered ineffective.
However, the real point to note here is that the shields only seem useless because they are actually very effective - this is a sci-fi fantasy world set in the far future, but everyone is fighting in melee combat. Ranged attacks are effectively nullified, which is the true purpose (and strength) of the shields. While you have a shield up, you can only really be attacked or killed from extremely close range. The exception to this of course is the hunter-killers, and I am slightly confused how exactly they work, but it's fair to assume that if it was as simple as a projectile that can pierce the shields, battles would be fought by armies firing the damn things at each other!
I wouldn't say he was OVERpowered. You have to remember everything in this timeline is shifted and slightly different. There's no reason those ripples couldn't have had other effects, for example making Wonder Woman weaker, and making Aquaman stronger. Besides his general toughness (usually explained as needing to survive deep-sea pressures indefinitely with no ill effect), he doesn't really have a powerset besides the marine communication, which is a bit lame. Makes sense they just dialed his toughness here up to 11 and had the man as a walking tank. I thought it was a pretty good iteration of him, though naturally the best animated version of Aquaman will always be from Justice League cartoon series, guy's a badass!
Isn't it obvious?
Because she's a cat!
In their youth cats are spry and nimble and agile, but as they get old they just become fat and lay around all day doing nothing but eating and sleeping.
well played xD
Oh really? Interesting! Given this is literally the first time I've ever posted outside of movie discussion, I'd be fascinated to know what you're referring to!
Also your ignorance is astounding - writing off things you disagree with is how fascism works.
Just watched this, and afterwards felt like if they'd halved the length it could have made for an interesting episode of something like Black Mirror or the 90s The Outer Limits. Felt like a TV episode concept stretched out to a movie. Still not bad all in all though.
So blocking people you don't agree with so you can live ignorantly in an echo-chamber of your own creation? Like most people on your 'side', your idealist dreams will never become reality so long as you continue to ignore reality. Work with the way things are, rather than trying to force the way you want things to be.
