So what did /tv/ think of it?
I just finished watching this and it was less brainless than I thought it would be, but at the same time I wished there would be more action like in Dredd.
I also think it was a mistake to base the first movie on the origin story. They should have dived straight into one of the GitS SAC plots where the whole of Section 9 could be showcased operating at their full potential. I think one of the many pitfalls of adapting franchises like these are to hold the viewer's hands a bit too much and don't give them enough credit for getting up to speed with a current situation. Like remember how The Fifth Element just dropped us into the life of Bruce Willis' character without lengthy exposition? I feel like they should have given Major and the rest of Section 9 the same treatment for the first movie, THEN go back and do an origin story.
I'm guessing the chances of a sequel are slim to none.
I enjoyed it, but im a sucker for cyberpunk sci-fi stuff

It was a great fucking movie. Unless you're some manga/anime fan with autism or an asian supremacist, you have no reason not to like the movie.
>>84763609
It was a bit slow for my taste and that's coming from someone who watched the animes and read the manga. The action wasn't flashy enough in my opinion. If they kept the action/momentum of the first 15 minute (the geisha bot fight) going it would have been much better in my opinion.
The flaws I can think of is that they portrayed Major as too inconsistently weak. Like one little scrape in the beginning and she needs to go in for diagnostic and repair, which jars with her leaping up collapsing bridges and dodging tank fire later on. She should be able to take a sniper shot point blank and take moderate damage at most. She herself should be built like a fucking tank, which I think the movie failed to properly portray (they were constantly going for the vulnerable aspect).
Like that scene in the underground club where she's handcuffed to the pole. It would have been much more effective to show her simply snapping the cuffs, or better yet, punching the pole in half.
And there are a lot of tiny details which I didn't like, for example her movement. I don't think it felt robotic enough, for example when she's exiting the interrogation chamber. And that one scene where she's chasing the garbageman with the invisibility cloak, there's a shot of her standing on top of the building in the reflection of a puddle that the garbageman splashes through, it's a common movie trope. They should either have made her disappear from the reflection after it reformed (the cliche way) or just cut to a different shot, except the movie cuts back to her standing on the building and running awkwardly away. It reminded me of that scene in Scary Movie where the killer calls Sydney then is shown to run off to hide behind a tree.
Are there any good films about bodybuilding that aren't documentaries?

No, this movie lacks the charming goofiness that GotG has.
Just saw this for the first time.
Was... was Childs the Thing?
>>84763349
They were both the Thing at the end. But the Thing doesn't know it's the Thing once it has emulated another organism.
>>84763470
Then why didn't Childs just roast Mac to a crisp?

It's fun food for thought, which is why the ambiguous ending is great. You just don't know and never will.
Does anyone else wish they gave Bruce a cameo in Homecoming as a little shoutout to the Raimi films?
I know everyone hated the third one but Spider Man 1 and 2 are very nostalgic to me and I can't help but wonder what became of Maguire's Spidey and his world.
I'd like to see a Raimi shoutout in the next one.
No Bruce Campbell cameo!? That's the last straw. I'm not even gonna pirate this shit.
>>84763105
>>what became of Maguire's Spidey and his world.
My guess? he probably retired after the events of the third movie.
Once Stan Lee is done with cameos, I think the Bruce Campbell cameo needs to become a thing.
Can anyone explain to me how making L a black man is a bad choice?hard mode: no racism
>>84767943
Live-action anime adaptations are mistakes 100% of the time, with no exceptions
Original L was pale because he was an introvert genius who spends all his time inside. To my knowledge black people get paler if they avoid sunlight.
This is an important aspect of visual storytelling / characterization that will be lost because of the choice to cast an afro-american in the role.
If they had cast a Japanese actor to play L they would have been able to get off with most of the whitewashing accusations
Bros I watched this for the first time in like 20 years and legit cried.

I know , me too. I so don't want to keep adulting for today.
Now watch the sequels to drown that feeling like a bag of puppies.
Why is Raimi's Spider-Man better than Webb's Amazing Spider-Man?
Raimi had vision and a desire to make something great. Webb just wanted a bigger house.
>>84767729
also no Raimi posting please
>>84767760
Raimi was one of those Jew baby boomers that always drone on about how "Brooklyn used to be" and read the original comics as a kid, and made a pretty accurate set of films. While Spider-Man 3 sucks, you can see the parts of the film where he really cared (mostly the Sandman stuff, with his original costume and desperate Coen Bros-esque plotline)
what film has the best special effects?

idk, but all of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies are underrated in that regard.

>Spend your entire life begging for funds to look for fossils and shit so you can "study" dinosuars
>Some fat fuck comes into YOUR digsite and pretty much reveals that your profession is obsolete and that all the work you've done so far was pretty much useless
Why were they so happy to see live dinosuars? It pretty much confirmed all the work they had done was for nothing. They wasted their lives.
shows you watched only for the girls

I couldn't watch this show for even that. Painfully unfunny and I don't mean that lightly

>>84767527
In a scale of 1-10 kekarinos (10 being formally considered "Top Kek") how kekky is your kekment?
>>84767527
Me too. AS has no good shows.
Since part 3 is starting soon, it's going to be its best show
