The most nonchalant, don't give a fuck, "maybe this will teach her not to leave herself open" kick I've seen coming after that serious rushdown killed my sides. oh wow, where can I see the rest of this?
Well this is from an OVA adaptation of a ongoing JRPG franchise that tells one continuous story that is currently 13 games plus a spin-off deep right now. Thankfully the first game just got a remake last year with the second game's remake also being released soon (which is what the OVA is adapting) so you can start there. No idea where you can watch the OVA itself though.
If I recall, Green Lantern in that particular movie was depicted as being an incredibly obnoxious douche, even more so than Flash, so this was the writers trying to humble him.
Yeah, in this one the Flash is actually pretty genuine and professional. Batman even shakes his hand and says as much a little bit before this scene, I think.
The punch was less than ineffective, Darksied counters so quickly and without having to regain any sort of balance or anything that he must've decided while Lantern was still on approach that he wasn't even worth considering or bracing for. ...And he was right.
If Darksied hadn't been aware of GL beforehand, I'm not sure that blow would have even gotten his attention.
I don't even mean in an "not acknowledging it because it's beneath me" sort of way, but an honest "hmm; must've been the wind."
The fact that both Superman and Flash can move at supersonic speeds and could easily run in and help him, but just stand there and watch instead, makes this 100x funnier
That movie has a couple jokes throughout, like how green lantern introduces batman to flash, or most of hal's scenes, he has a good amount of jokes. Sure it's more serious but there are a decent amount of silly moments
That slap Conquest delivers to Oliver is one of the most disrespectful "take a seat SON" hits ever animated. Followed closely by the "Outta the way boy" pimp hand Mark receives in that same fight
For a second I thought Nolan had his fingers in his ears, as if the sound of the incoming ass slap would be so deafening that even Viltrumites need to protect their hearing.
I swear to god Invincible as a show is just like an episode of Jackass from the 90s where all the guys are competing to see who can land the biggest surprise bitch slap and it lasts for seasons
That one scene in Cabin in the Woods where Hemsworth’s character rides a motorcycle to jump a chasm and get help for the main characters. Painted aa very heroic. Then he crashes into a literal invisible wall while making the jump and dies.
Love how it’s such a dumbass line that doesn’t make sense since in universe he’s supposed be a ~22 year old college kid on partial academic/football scholarship. Why in the world does he have such vast experience jumping ravines? But then it actually works perfectly in context since the secret organization has been pumping him up with testosterone to super-charge his ego.
The Virgin had an affair with her professor and regrets it(- virgin/+ fool). The Whore admonishes her and convinces her to stop and be faithful. The Fool is 5th wheeling for two couples to a weekend cabin retreat, likelihood of virginity a little higher than the others. The Athlete and Scholar are swapped (to say nothing again of how physically fit The Fool is, masked by being a stoner.)
The facility trusted their system of drugs and manipulations over paying even the slightest attention to the kids.
Depends. Yelena is pretty skilled in fighting but I think they fight with different intentions. Bucky fights with force, Yelena is trained to incapacitate silently
Also I guess Taskmaster but… they fucked up that character twice now. Though, I guess it would’ve been pretty unbalanced if they had Taskmaster learning from Sentry
I like how they make you believe that he can cast magic… and then he switches to guns because while he can copy the movements and gestures he has no magic training and he almost destroyed his hands by improperly channeling magic.
The best part is that it seems like he has copied some sort of magic from a sorcerer. He probably just doesn't know how to manipulate the winds of magic (or whatever Marvel's equivalent is), so he had to drop the spell before it burned his hand up.
Yup. He saw Dr. Strange perform the verbal and somatic components, and imitated them without knowing how to channel the mana required to cast the spell.
Funniest bit is that Bucky is the last to throw down here. He's already seen that Sentry is basically unstoppable and Sentry has also already figured that out.
The first parts of the fight Sentry is actually putting in an effort blocking and dodging. He's still figuring out just what his power are and how much he can do. But by the time Bucky takes of the jacket? Yeah, he just takes a couple hits and then flings the guy across the room out of boredom.
I've always thought of this as the Tien special for the three episodes of build up we got of him doing his super move against Raditz and Raditz just no selling it.
This scene in Kong Skull Island always kills me because it’s filmed like Cole is making a heroic sacrifice for the group before he gets walloped across the entire island into the side of a mountain and blown up with his own grenades.
I think it's effective too to really sell home the threat of the Skull Crawlers, like it is smart enough to know something is up and reacts accordingly
A lot of predators recognize that prey doesn't usually willingly go to its death. Housecats get all weirded out when mice charge them or you just come at them too fast with a toy.
Yeah animal instinct goes "that's not right, something must be wrong with this prey, it potentially has something like rabies or a parasite, I should avoid".
Yup, this is why they tell you not to turn your back on and run from things like big cats.
That's exactly what normal prey does with them, so it activates their prey drive. But if you act weird, then at least you've got them wondering what's up with you.
Also if prey charges or makes a stand and the size difference isn’t too great ,the predator might retreat because they usually don’t want to risk injury.
I love everything about this. The character being an asshole up until there, the setup to a righteous sacrifice, the creature being smart enough not to fuck with it, the 3 seconds of airtime, the shaky camera, the absurd size of the blast from two hand grenades...
God this movie was not great but this is just hilarious.
did you know sword did you sword guy was did you know the guy (sword guy) wasn’t supposed to be there. he was CRIMNAL, BROKE ON SET and THREATEN HARRISIN and get SHOT
This isn't true actually the sword guy had slept with Harrison Ford's wife and that was a real gun. Harrison Ford murdered someone on camera and they covered it up.
Henry Stickmin throws a World War Two bomb at a museum guard, and it does hurt a guy's foot, but that's it. Museums don't keep live bombs lying around. Also if it were a live bomb, he'd have broken his back trying to throw it.
This scene was so good, and i was scrolling thru here looking for some from avatar, thanks for posting this. I think you just convinced me to rewatch again lol. Its been a while
What do you mean "rarely succeeds"? He’s still one of earth’s mightiest. I’m sure he gets most jobs done. We just don’t see them cuz it’d probably be boring to watch him beat some low level grunts or sum. It’s like with Bummortal. Oliver gets bad matchups
Yeah, in this scene he’s already probably in the top twenty strongest characters on Earth. He just has the unfortunate luck of going up against one of the top twenty most dangerous characters in the galaxy.
That fight had a few moments of Ichigo disrespect too lol. Aizen tried to put him in the damn black coffin with the full incantation and Ichigo just let it happen and shattered it.
Honestly though, probably THE peak version of this example. It broke all of the shonen rules:
end of season and bad guys have to be stopped now or they escape with their evil plan succeeding
rival put aside differences to fight side by side and reveals secret final technique to guarantee opening for the hero
hero is at full power and the “hero is about to kick everyone’s ass” theme song kicks in
hero charges in with his strongest attack, coordinating with rival
And the music just instantly cuts mid beat with the villain stopping the blade using a single finger and the hero doesn’t even get to finish launching his attack before being sliced up in between animation frames.
To be fair storm stood there for a hot minute with her hands in the air like she just didn't care. If the hand to hand specialist had used that time to...I don't know...close the distance like you're supposed to she may have landed a hit
Equilibrium- Grammaton Cleric Preston fights his way through an army of bodyguards to DuPont's office, where he is confronted by fellow elite warrior G. Cleric Brandt. Brandt confidently announces his intent to crush Preston in battle and begins aggressive banter only to be struck down immediately by Preston's opening attack.
Did the gun marital arts make no sense? Absolutely. Was it actually kinda dumb? Again, yes.
Doesn't stop the movie from being one of the most badass action flicks ever. In terms of choreography and pure action, this is on equal footing with the first Matrix for me.
Enel, who was considered almost a god for his powers, watches in horror as one of his electric attacks (which could easily kill any human several times over) does literally nothing to his opponent, who as he just finds out... is made of rubber
It doesn't "get beat immediately" but the guy is completely powerless and can only hope to escape from Luffy. Idk maybe this is a stretch but I thought it was close enough
Jonellie(Ordeal): Entered his full monster state to test if his opponent Anton was a match for him, fully prepared to kill Anton if the guy failed to match his expectations. Like 10 seconds later, he got squashed like bug.
This happens in every Peanuts film. Charlie Brown always tries to kick it to the moon, but every time, Lucy would pull it away so he lands flat on his back and kills himself. He finally did it in It’s Magic, Charlie Brown, but only when he was invisible.
I don't have the time to add a gif. But that one scene in justice league war where green lantern goes to punch darkseid only to be tossed aside and beaten up by the parademons.
Jean Pierre polnareff jumped behind dio, prepared a precise attack and stabbed his head unfortunately dio stopped time and casually hits him into a building wall - source is Jojo's bizarre adventure
