If you're saying Keaton's Batman couldn't fight because he got out-classed by the dude in the bell tower, think again. Batman defeated a sword-wielding martial artist two moves to nothing and punched out a circus strongman.



That guy in the cathedral is just simply on another level. He's like Mike Tyson multiplied by Muhammad Ali. Dude could rip the mask off of Bane and there'd be nothing Bane could do about it.

Full HD Ocarina of Time remake with additional dungeons/side quests added to make it longer.

The reason for the game's high volume of female characters is because Adult Link was originally supposed to be able to date the one of his choosing. Would you reinsert that into the HD remake or continue to leave it out?

I forgot the most important observation: Han never murdered Greedo. People get mad about Greedo shooting first because of the way that it changes Han's character, but that honestly isn't the case. Greedo was a second away from shooting Han. His action was always self-defense. (Dodging at point blank range is still a bit silly though.)

The Empire Strikes Back
  • Han Solo being frozen is one of the most brilliant contingencies for an actor possibly not returning. Had Harrison Ford said no to Revenge of the Jedi, Billy Dee Williams's Lando Calrissian would've undoubtedly taken his place.
  • Luke matured a lot since the first film and it is a vast improvement.
  • AT-AT attack is awesome.
  • Go, Leia! Plant that kiss on your brother!
  • It was a wise move to split Luke off from Han. Harrison Ford still steals the show, but he's only allowed to steal two scenes which feature Luke.
  • In a less-wise decision, Luke only has three action sequences and two of them are in the first act. It's a bit odd that most of the action in the film follows Han since Harrison Ford's return was in jeopardy.
  • Now I see why people think Jar Jar Binks turning evil would work. Yoda is super-annoying when he's pretending to be a beggar, yet a forceful (no pun intended) screen presence once he reveals his true nature.
  • The duel at the end is the best in the series.

A New Hope

  • The true star of A New Hope is the cinematographer. Nearly every shot is off-center and suggests a world that is both foreign and visually distinct. Before we're introduced to a single character, the tone is set by a title crawl and a camera view bridging two planets. The hopelessly outmatched freighter and pursuing Star Destroyer set the tone for the story that is about to unfold.
  • Disney made a liar out of the title crawl. They said the Rebels had earned their first victory against the Empire by securing the plans to the Death Star. Actually, those rebels in that battle all DIED.
  • Luke and his uncle Owen are at a slave auction? They even have mechanical bolts on the droids to track them in case of escape.
  • Prequel apologists are right about the Skywalkers. Darth Vader behaves like a 16 year old who never grew up and Luke is whiny as all get out. "But I was going over to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"
  • Luke seeing Leia for the first time: "She's beautiful... Like, I wanna do butt stuff with her. We're talking whips and chains, hardcore pornographic action. I wouldn't care if she was my distant cousin or anything." (Okay, he didn't go that far. But it's, uh, interesting seeing him blush over the woman who would later be retconned as his sister.)
  • The world feels incredibly lived-in. They references places and characters we don't see and do so in such a manner that if feels authentic. Like, the sand people walking single file to hide their numbers or the abandoned rebel base. The dirty, worn out look of most of the ships really adds to this.
  • Damn, that Death Star trench run was intense. I've seen actual war movies that didn't capture that sense of urgency.
  • Luke loses his uncle and aunt who raised him. "I'm gonna sell my car and leave this town."
  • Luke loses the old hermit he just met. "Uncle Be-e-en!"
  • Lastly, I gotta mention shipping. Leia kisses Luke twice on the cheek, but most of her talking is done with Han. If you want the audience to ship the girl with your hero, try having them talk to one another. It's no wonder Leia/Han became the canon ship.

Watch in kids' movies to see how often a "princess" is the head of a nation/empire/realm, even without anyone above her. She'll almost only ever be a queen if she's evil or has a child (or both).

I watched The Black Cauldron yesterday. The film was super guilty of this.

I did. Chris Evans was the prettiest person in the movie.

I can't remember a single line of dialogue his token love interest had -- only that she was the generic tough-chick-in-a-business-suit. That's the go-to character type for people who don't know how to write female characters, but still want to look like they're putting forth effort.

Legend of Zelda
  • Link's tunic and belt are nearly identical
  • Link is a child with pointy ears (originally drawn with red hair)
  • fairies replenish health
  • a flute is an important item
  • a topless mermaid appears in the Game Boy game
  • Link fights his shadow
Super Mario Bros. 3
  • Mario's raccoon power-up mirrors one of the Lost Boys who dresses like a raccoon
  • Mario can fly (with an assist from a power-up)
  • the game features a flying ship
I'd also believe it if you told me that Boss Bass was inspired by the fish who attempt to eat Tinkerbell. That one's a bit too much of a stretch or me to lump it in with the others though. I haven't heard him speak to its influence on Super Mario Bros. 3., but Tezuka acknowledged Peter Pan as an influence on Legend of Zelda.

It kinda makes me think of Idris Elba.

He said he'd play James Bond if it was a legitimate interpretation, but he didn't want to be seen as the Black James Bond. There's a distinction there. One scenario is that you look at a guy and you see the character. The other is that you look at him and see a gimmicky alternate version of the character. Unless they're willing to commit to the idea that Superman should be Black going forward, it's going to feel like a gimmick.

There's no sense my complaining about it though. If it's what they want, it's what they want.
