OneEightHundred posted:You know the funny thing is Arnold also starred in an awful franchise-ending DC superhero movie, but unlike the Rock he didn't spend the aftermath going on a crusade screaming about how it was actually amazing and Warner Bros. was trying to ruin his career. And rightly, because he loving owned that role and his terrible puns and polar bear slippers are fond memories of a generation.

I still believe that movie only failed the way that it did because George Clooney didn't understand what was happening and tried to play it like it was a real movie instead of a cartoon. Imagine Batman & Robin with Bruce Campbell as Batman instead.

Gavok posted:It honestly got kind of sad. They did a show that was all one big tribute to his career, and Rock didn’t even send a video message or anything their way. They even promoted Red Notice, a Netflix movie starring the Rock, and instead of having anything to do with the Rock himself, they just had segments where Vince walked around with an egg prop from the movie and a mystery over who stole it from his office. This was also around the time that Rock DID appear on TNA in a video message for Ken Shamrock, making the wwe snubs a whole lot funnier

Like he credits his bodybuilding coach for bringing him to America, he credits the directors and producers of Conan and The Terminator for his big break and all helping him get to where he is today.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:some of it is scripted but its a compelling story of one austrian man being an incredible rear end in a top hat its a pro watch I really must argue that Arnold is being 'an rear end in a top hat'. Assholes act like assholes all the time, no matter what. Arnold is being a competitor. He's using psychology. He's solely behaving like a jerk to get an edge in a competition. He's not cheating, he's not actually trying to cause pain to his rivals, he just wants to throw them off enough so that he can win. He succeeds. Yes, pretending to be Lou's friend is a pretty jerkass move, but honestly, these are sometimes the lessons one has to learn. I suspect if Arnold had retired from preformative bodybuilding at the time and was actually Lou's friend and supporting him, he would have been doing the same stuff to Lou's rivals instead. And when the competition was over, well, maybe Arnold was never really his friend, but he wasn't his enemy either. He took winning very seriously. Had it not worked, had Lou seen through him and won, Arnold probably would have congratulated him for it. Maybe. I have never met the man, I have no idea what goes on in his head, all I can do is make guesses based on presented evidence. And someone who does stuff like tell his Nazi father and fellows to kill themselves and gives credit to others for his success is either not an rear end in a top hat or rapidly grew out of being one and probably regrets the nastier side of what he did to win.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:billy mitchell is history's greatest monster I assume you mean the Donkey Kong guy. Yes, now HE is an rear end in a top hat, and also, a cheater. Maybe Arnold was an rear end in a top hat, but as far as I know, he won all those contests legitimately within their rules. Bonzo posted:I liked Legends of Tomorrow because they embraced the cheese and low budget and it worked. Whereas every single episode of Flash has him being defeated by a rouge because he wasn't fast enough. To be fair, Flash generally needs to have his main power handicapped because otherwise he could probably solve every problem in literal seconds, if not a literal seconD. Hey Gavok, list some of the truly ludicrous things the Flash has done in the comics. If he only had constant access to his power at 1/50th of the states he reached to do them, he'd still be virtually invincible. Cornwind Evil fucked around with this message at 16:39 on May 4, 2024 |

I'm old enough to remember Trump as just some rich rear end in a top hat giving Robin Leech a tour of his home. Years of Trump business failure jokes on The Tonight Show but that same crowd voted for him. Probably because of all the kayfabe on The Apprentice and people think it's a real contest and he's super good, the best businessman.

The end. Cornwind Evil posted:Hey Gavok, list some of the truly ludicrous things the Flash has done in the comics. If he only had constant access to his power at 1/50th of the states he reached to do them, he'd still be virtually invincible. It's hard to come up with a good list when it all boils down to "dude is so fast that he did whatever he wanted, time and space be damned." My mind does go to the YouTube series Death Battle, where they match characters against each other, go over their lore, animate a fight, then explain with LORE MATH why one guy won. Early on, before they went deep enough with their research, they did Mario vs. Sonic, which ended with Sonic winning simply because he's fast. About a decade later, they redid the match, but they had to make sure that they were only using their video game selves, because Sonic in the Archie Comics series was far too broken to make it fair. And keep in mind, they were going with, "Mario is excessively strong because look at him kick one of the castles into the distance in this Super Mario World cutscene!" and that was still going to make him out of his league against Comics Sonic. But they did put Comics Sonic up against Wally West Flash in a battle to see who was more broken and ridiculously overpowered. Flash won because his bullshit breaks the scale way more. Bonzo posted:I love it someone use AI to insert Trump and Trump Jr into Batman Returns. I've always suspected that's who Max Shreck is based on. Recently, I realized that Max Jr. was played by Zangief from the live-action Street Fighter movie and it shattered my world.

Max Schreck was ruthless and whatnot, but he was also efficient and menacing. Nobody in the whole loving world is going to be directly menaced by Donald loving Trump. By his cronies or the basic fact that a system exists that allows him to succeed? Sure, but Trump is too much of a moron to directly assault people without assistance. A character played by Christopher loving Walken is too cool to be based on that orange failure.
