Uggggghjhjjh Jesus fucking Christ man

I understand your frustration. But this movie is based on decades of work that came before it. Like it or not. That's the way it is. I'm not saying that the film can't/shouldn't stand on it's own. It should. And I think it does. But the bottom line is that it's still an adaptation. And the whole crux of the WW origin and so much of what that character is about is love. And humanity. And all the other things explored in the film. The themes of the film are inherent in the original text. People who take issue with what the movie is about and the themes of love toward the climax tend to be people that are unfamiliar with the source material. You can uggghghehdeindfdklndijflddddkkkkllffff all you want but that's the case. And the less you know about the source material, the bigger disadvantage your are at regarding any adaptation.

It wasn't just refreshing but revolutionary in American action cinema. I goddamn loved it. And I think the response we're seeing (woman who literally cry at the action sequences) is such perfect proof of that.

"Just a damaged woman?" What?

There are a lot of "empowered" female roles in movies where the woman is "empowered" because she's got issues. You're too smart to not see that.

Men should not be allowed to watch movies if they are gonna act like this.

The Trekkie dude got in the way of my masturbation.

Why do you hate women so much, Burt?

That Trekkie dude is a superstar. That guy owns everything he's in. I want him inside me.

Can you blame her? Dude's a superstar.

I don't blame her at all. Both of them are just gorgeous as fuck.

His dad was the sarge on CHiPS.

Worf was on it too

Joey. Both of those replies are just terrible. Come on, man.

Both of which replies?

Never mind. I'm sure I can figure it out.

How about this... "ugh!"

Or:

I'm sure you'll find those to be much better responses.

I dont think you have to love or know the source material to love or hate a movie at all. Its a different thing, and if its successful you will run to buy the comics or books or whatever.

Perfect. I'm glad we could settle this. I appreciate your time and consideration.

There was a time when I expected more and would have been bugged by this exchange, LV. But I know better now.

Who has the energy anymore
