Oh, ouch, I feel embarrassed for you:
"The Russo brothers... always say that they are comic book readers but i guess they never gave a shit about him"
And I guess you're not much of a comic book reader either, otherwise you'd have heard of Professor Hulk.
I don't read comics much anymore but even I know that this version of Hulk is popular, well-known, and existed for at least a few years in the comics.
I for one welcome Sansa, Gilly, Daenerys, Missandei and Arya all stripping off completely and marching out to face the enemy and test out your theory.
It seems apparent from the scene in the movie that Tony was the only one close enough at the time.
Plus Strange seemed to be signalling, moments prior, and specifically to Tony, that this was the one scenario in which they win and that it all hinged on Tony's actions.
The fact that Strange had earlier stated that telling Tony how they win would cause them instead to lose also suggests that he had foreseen Tony's victory and thus his death.
Nah, this is just conjecture on the part of the guy above, but it certainly sounds like the kind of countermeasure Tony might put in place.
The stones are too powerful for a normal mortal to wield, so the effort killed Tony.
He removed the stones from the gauntlet (or some contraption in his nano-suit did) without Thanos realising, then he integrated them into his own suit, creating his own ad-hoc infinity gauntlet, thus allowing Tony to wield the stones.
There's no real rule set here, it's just all about setting up a compelling future narrative.
If Nat is dead then she'll at some point prior to the scheduled Black Widow movie have to be resurrected.
If she's alive and stranded on Vormir then she'll have to make her way home or be rescued, either in her own movie or in 'Asgardians of the Galaxy'!
Anyone who's fate is tied to a stone didn't come back; Nat, Vision, Gamora...
Well, how else were fans going to get that scene they've been demanding of Scott going up inside someone and going big, small, big, small repeatedly?
Honestly, the time travel logic is allowed to be funky, in my book, since its secondary (and most resonant) purpose was to serve as a nostalgic victory run through the franchise's short but rich history.
Like fan service, but not the shitty, lazy kind.
Bucky has murdered a shit-ton of people in his lifetime, innocent civilians included.
In modern parlance, even despite having been under duress, he could be considered a 'problematic person' to take up the mantle.
When you hear Clint say "I'll do it" go pee.
And we already know how vague assumptions make a person sound.
He's half the swordsman he used to be.
The thing we're all told nowadays is that if you're unhappy with who or what you are then you can become anything or anyone you want to be.
Surely there's no possible, foreseeable way that this self-absorbed mentality could be even remotely damaging to a whole generation of people growing up in a volatile world that's changing faster than they can perceive and which doesn't give a damn about the rich emotional and psychological tapestry of their tiny fucking lives, right?
If everyone's allowed to roleplay themselves into a narcissistic, attention-seeking dead end of emperor's-new-clothes irrelevance then why not also Gilliam, one of the grand fantasists of our time?
It doesn't have the best action sequences (Tomorrow Never Dies), the best plot (The World is Not Enough), nor is it the most over-the-top (Die Another Day), but for me Goldeneye is definitely the best constructed, most cohesive, and certainly most romantic movie of Brosnan's era.
It's got an enjoyable villain who serves as a mirror to Bond, and it's got one of the most sincere and convincingly independent, intelligent and resourceful female co-stars. Scorupco's chemistry with Brosnan is better maybe even than Sophie Marceau in TWINE.
The one real negative is the lack of a really classic Bondian music score.
As far as I recall from the commentary, the close-up of the floor is a sheet of polystyrene, dusted with magnesium or some other highly reactive metal filings.
The liquid they use for the blood is coloured acetate, which eats through the polystyrene quite quickly while the liquid causes the metal filings to smoke, giving the appearance that the melted floor panel is smoking.
I've only seen her in Festen and The Legacy, near two decades apart, but she's great in both.
He should Diversify Into Arthouse Films?
