Admantium filled hair, brilliant, that's great, you see, that's for me the point of being a fan, you are also particpating in the creation of all this stuff.
Cameron, (You really think that Giant Man slapping around The Wasp is mature, intelligent storytelling?)...
No, and I really don't talk in terms of either mature or intelligent storytelling. I brought the scene because right after it everyone was looking for the "flawed" personality that had been supposeddly "hinted" before, so everyone was a Freud-ian Sherlock Holmes analyizing the book to see where exactly Giant Man had "lost" his mind. Hell, even Millar came out a bit disoriented and admitted that maybe he had dropped the scene too abruptly, and that was because in the minds of the fucking dissappointed audience something, if not a mind scrambling drug, had to be blamed, maybe alcohol, maybe daddy abusing him while he was a child, maybe an unfairly low grade in math during the school years, you see, so everybody could excuse the chap and restore the "hero" and the slapping, and what a relief would have been to have actually a flashback, something maybe explaining that a wasp had actually stinged him as a baby, so we would all breath back again once we learned of the fucking apologising reasons that Millar had "forgotten". It was just that the right hamburger had not been delivered here.
And I tell you, when you learn of such abuses and have to deal with them you really don't give a fuck as to the "psychological background", you go straight to the what-do-we-do-now step. No excuses allowed in the very first place. Cap had smashed someone's jaw in the previous issue much to everyone's dismay with no apparent reason beyond a dislocated elbow, just like "cops" sometimes do to people and eventually get filmed, and when you see the videos you really don't want to start wondering if they were on drugs, under hypnosis, or under a strennous environment. But you can't allow this on "intelligent story telling", right? You need the "mature background" splashed in your face so you can feel a bit better now.
And there it was in the film, anyway, since Cyke and Nightcrawler were under drugs, right? Ah, thats much better indeed.
And Reflect says "We've established that there are mutants who have a near religious anti-human zeal in the two movies.". Okay, so what? Do all mutants have to actually think with this black and white thing then, like Eric? So, if you are not decidedly Anti-Human you'd never think of killing a president? And I suppose in the real world whomever is thinking of killing a politician is also thinking of killing the whole humanity, right? There you have it then, we've been living amidst mutants since ancient Egypt, because probably the first historical record of a political assasination was carried out by an anti-human mutant who actually wanted to kill the whole specie. I think you have plenty of evidence out there, out of the movie, and out of your mind, hinting that many people pondering and pursuing assassination are not just looking for the "destruction" of the human race, you see, nor even for "perennial freedom of humanity", no matter how much it is hailed. It was an easy move, Nightcrwaler was drugged, much convenient and very comfortable. Yes, and he also probably loves politicians. Fortunately the comic book environment has not fell in its entirety to this type of simplicity.
And I suppose you are all perfectly happy with the idea of perversity being a husband slapping a wife for no apparent reason, or of a married businessman arranging secret parties in hotels to practice asphyxophilia while dressing in girls' panties. I'll tell you which is my image of perversity as just delivered by this shit of a movie. Leaving a breathing man to his death while holding a kid in your arms. Nice, isn't it? Really nice thing to see in a movie in which "humanity" is saved, of course.
And for once and all, what the fuck do we know Stryker had actually done? Had he raped someone and then coldly shot him in the head? Did he enjoy sodomizing mutant children like Gilles De Rais? I concede Logan would have ripped Stryker's guts and everyone around when jumping naked right out of the tank, but he was perfectly cool and in his mind here... or maybe the movie script had actually a removed scene in which Logan was also being drugged... by Magneto, and excuse me, but the most likely "heroic" choice, and honoring to the character, would have been to actually snikt his chains, numb Stryker with an admantium-skull blow, and drag the man back to the fucking jet.
But its so damn cool to actually decide who lives and who dies, isn't it? Even if you had just saved humanity, because then you can supposeddly deliver both life and death, oh, how bloody-bloody cool, and aren't we getting a bit used to seeing comic book heroes indulging in comfortable murder in their cinema versions? And now with kids in their arms, and under their tutelage? Do you honestly stand for this? Or maybe you have already learned it this way, without drugs... without even noticing. |
