The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[Maglor]

This is one time I won't be pulling your leg for an epicly late response.

Wanted to stop in to ask about what editions are coming out on BD, and that was where I picked up in the thread. Had to say something..

He means it's not "intensive purposes", it's "Intents and purposes".

I already looked it up.

And no you didn't, because Coulson is great.

 

[Maglor]

Saw all the pre Avengers movies (all of them at least twice and some 3 times), and I felt nothing at Coulson's death.

Surely you see how it would have been different if I felt nothing despite the fact that I hadn't seen the lead-up movies. I would bear more responsibility because of not seeing everything that was meant to make me feel invested in the character.

But you, and Void have stated on many occasions, that those kinds of films are not your bag. You love everything Nolan-esq, and don't care so much for fun, adventurey films.

Coulson's death isn't supposed to ruin your life, or make you weep for the remainder of the movie. It's purpose to get you on the level of The Avengers. The stakes got higher, and the movie took a very logical serious turn.

It worked for many people because it was simple. Well known and likable character, dies, which causes them to work together. More people felt this emotion, then didn't. Most people loved the Avengers, then didn't. It didn't work for you, but that was on you.

It's like if someone doesn't get Inception. It's not Nolan's fault, he made the movie pretty easy to get, if you watch it correctly. If you weren't, the message would be lost on you.

Ya dig.

Coulson > Miranda Tate

Coulson > Bane

Coulson > John Blake

I think Incraption is crap. It's Nolan's fault for making such a dry movie and fan bois hyping it up.

 

[Platty]

Spoiler

I'm Coulson.

 

[DiFabio]

Platty > Bane

Platty > Talia

Platty > John Bloke

If Coulson's death was only a plot device, then I guess it worked for me.

Void be trollin' to...

Can't argue with that.

Void be trollin' to...

Except, i'm not

Homeless man was there for comic relief - it worked - I laughed

Coulson was there to die and get you on board with this idea that these guys who're at each other's throats suddenly work as a team. Didn't work for me

Better acting than Talia.

Marion Cotillard phoned it in and probably thought the whole film was dumb. "Lol, Batman?" In that thick french accent.

That's fine. But that's not the filmmakers faults, as it worked for most people.

That was my argument.

After watching 'The Chant' featurette on the BR, respect for mr. Zimmer just went up even further.

Definitely deserves the Oscar for the score.

 

[Gully Foyle]

Man, Nolan's taint will never dry out!
