This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

"I Am Become Death, Destroyer Of Worlds"

Quote from: KnightcrawlerIs It Anime?
If its what I'm thinking of, the best way to describe it would be, "disco-era-live-action-anime."

With dialogue that would be right at home in Zero Wing.

Quote from: Reefer MadnessNo mention of Fantastic 4 at all?? I didnt think it was that bad, I also really liked the punisher....blade movies were cool too....too many to choose from, I liked most superhero movies that came out...the ones that sucked are usually the end of the line sequal ones...
Nope, no mention of FF 4 or (Goddess help us all) any version of the Punisher.  ("Well, in the comic, his family gets killed, but we need to CRANK IT UP TO 11!!!!!  Kill everyone he knows, knew, and ever will know!  It'll be totally rad!")

Blade... I dunno.  I don't think I'd count him as a superhero.  I never read the comic, though.

Yeah, but was Fantastic Four, Punisher, or Blade anywhere near the best?
 

Vermicious Knid

Quote from: CyberzombieBatman Begins, Unbreakable, the Incredibles, the Hulk, both Spiderman movies, both X Men movies, Mystery Men, Daredevil, Batman, Dark Man, and Superman.  In that order.

Man, me and Vermicious seem to have the same taste in movies.  :o

I added Dark Man in addition to Unbreakable.  It's good fun.  :D

Fuck! I forgot Dark Man! I own that Sumbitch!

Apart from your inexplicable affection for Daredevil it appears that we have the same list.

Daredevil was a pretty decent flick.  I thought what's-his-face did a great job, especially as Matt Murdock.  I just don't get the hate.

Now, Elektra is a whole 'nother story.  :)

I hear that the director's cut is more palatable. What I saw was just...meh. Although I did like Colin Farrel's Bullseye and the guy who played Kingpin.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner fighting on a see-saw.

Colin Farrell as the most sucktastic Bullseye I ever could've imagined.

Michael Clarke Duncan looking nothing like the Kingpin.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, badbadbadbadbadbadbadbadbadbadbadbad

See I liked Daredevil also but I was never into the Daredevil comicbook so wasn't looking to see that everything was "canon".  Also Elektra I don't really have any problems with, again never really read her as a comicbook.

I have heard though that the director recuts of both those movies are supposed to be world different and much better.

What, because he wasn't enourmously fat and white.  If you actually know your Marvel stuff you'll know that with the Kingpin its not fat but mostly muscle.  And can you think of anybody else that has the prescence of Michael Clarke Duncan.

Imagine Marlon Brando saying "But issss not fat, it'ssss mussscle."

That's who that should've cast. :D

Turning all of our children into hooligans and whores its Reefer Madness.
