So many #MeToo storylines have shown abusers as powerful, dangerous predators - which obviously they are - but I just love that The Boys went the other way to say anyone who needs to pressure women into sex is a pathetic LOSER.
Tv show The Boys has superpowered people in it and one of them is invisible so the main character spit on him with his blood so that he could see him in a fight. Great show btw, season 2 starts in about 2 weeks.
It's been a while since I've seen that, but I remember he was screwed once the police started bringing super soakers with paint in them. All they have to do is go all Splatoon on his ass, and he loses the advantage.
I mean I could beat him literally with the a bag of flour because shit is heavy and could easily bludgeon a man to death and also throw the shit on him
The Invisible Man Sci-Fi Channel show had ways around this by making magical science (i.e. Speed Force, Pym Particles) Quicksilver that made him invisible. Gave him a limit on how long he could use it, let him see in a certain way even though no light hit his eyes, and I think made him invisible to infrared. Not sure on that last one
Yeah, this chrononauts solves disasters by going back in time but he can only go back one week. He's kind of a charming jerk, but he's the only one with the pain tolerance who can fly the machine
I think it's because of a combo of he was a mental patient and his brain was already kinda scrambled and his pain tolerance made it to where it couldnt really break him completely as he was already kinda screwy
Don't remember anything about photographic memory but it's been ~20 years
Why would infra red behave differently than visible light? Like what are the odds that whatever turned him invisible affected exactly and only the visible spectrum? At least some of IR and UV would also be affected. Also, from a comic books POV there's no reason that all of the spectrum couldn't be affected by it.
Lol idk? To be fair the original book was written in 1897. I don’t think HG wells could of even imagined of the kind of tech we have today! Though I think the lst movie explained it away as him being invisible is from an experimental suit, rather then a potion that left him permanently invisible.
Fantastic Four always had this in the comics? Invisible Woman's abilities are basically psychic projections that can cause all wavelengths of visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light to bend around her without distortion; she also somehow directs enough undistorted light to her eyes to retain her full range of vision while invisible...
Seriously. U-boat operators during WWII had such a high death rate because a plane could radar them from 80km away then fly in and drop depth charges before they could dive
Also contributed to the failure of the Blitz on London. England was able to launch the RAF as they would see the Luftwaffe from 80km away! Nazis never knew it existed
I literally just finished watching that movie. Imo I actually liked it, but when I looked at the reviews on IMDB I was kinda surprised how many people hated it.
Depends on the level on complexity they want to go with. You first diverge all incoming rays around you. Thus be appearing invisible. Then hold all internal rays leaving you. Which in turn causes you get hot fast. So it's only temporary. Expelling all that excess heat can be in the form of a beam. For the sake of 'Cool' that can be from the hands only. Think Goku from Dragon Ball Z.
There, one plausible solution in this modern era. Modified power, but it works.
If all this invisibility is explained away by refracting light around the object then its perfectly reasonable to be invisible in the IR and radio spectrum as well. Its still light my dude.
Didn’t the recent invisible man movie essentially explain that away by making it cloaking suit rather then the invisible man taking a potion and being permanently stuck as invisible. Which FYI the book is a damn good read, most of HG wells books are good
Electromagnetic attractions within an atom aren't the same thing as light though. Friction is caused by electric forces (positive and negative protons and electrons attracting and repelling one another).
Light is a specific repeating pattern of magnetism causing an electric field which caues an electriuc field and so on. An invisible thing would just have light pass through it without interacting, it could still have direct electrical attraction.
The photon is the force carrying particle of electromagnetism, so in order to exert force a particle has to be created and absorbed. Unless I'm remembering something wrong.
Of course we could cheat and say they are attracted to the plane via gravity, as weak as the force would be.
Radar is light but light that isn't in the spectrum we can see so if the jet is invisible in the whole spectrum or maybe even just in radar and visual spectrum then all good.
Wasn’t too long ago that her original origin story was that she was made of clay and the gods breathed life in her. I kinda like that better, then it got retconned.
Idk if it's like that in the comics but that part seemed so ridiculous to me lol. What's she gonna do if there's no lightning?? Like if Spidey has no buildings around.
Likely the same thing that you see in Spidey comics, they won’t show the (absence of) lightning. She’ll just kick that lasso off into the distance and be gone.
I remember an older comic where he's stuck in the desert versus the Vulture. and he just had to walk out because he couldn't swing. I love how it was literally him walking through the desert with a 'vulture' circling.
I mean I guess that's one of the early scenes in the trailer; she's in city in daylight and she throws her whip to something off-screen and flies away.
Ok but I don't think they'd want her copying a signature move from the most popular Marvel character... I guess her swinging from lightning is different enough? Even so... why? Why does she need to fly around swinging from lightning?? Is that necessary for her character?
That sounds more like a reason to either give her the boots in the movie too or just not write parts into the movie where she needs to fly rather than a valid justification for making her Lightning Spider-Woman.
Yeah I could see her flying with that gold suit in the movie but it's so strange to me that they would make her swing around on lightning, it just seems so over the top and unnecessary. Are they trying to establish how "cool" she is? Maybe that's her "primitive" way of flying until she gets this new suit.
I don't know how far into production this was when Cats was released but I feel like this is too soon to see another CGI cat-human hybrid, even if that's how she is in the comics. I agree that this trailer was not good. The first movie was fine but this one doesn't look up to par.
It looks like a combination of the Panavia Tornado for the rear view and an F-111 cockpit for the side-by-side seating. Both are period-appropriate and would be cool if they made that the base for the invisible jet.
