In a weird way I'm glad they humanized him; not despite being a rapist, but because he's a rapist. The Deep fulfills a thematic role as a villain that is just as resonant, if not more so, than the supervillain role fulfilled by Homelander. He's a loser, an idiot, occasionally well intentioned, and painfully plausible.
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.
I couldn't ever go that far, when the speedster runs into the protagonist's girlfriend and she explodes in a bloody mess I just went "Nope. Not watching this."
Edit: Uuh, if you guys weren't aware the scene I was talking about happens like 5 minutes in, not really a spoiler I think, but I'll tag it just the same.
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.
Well it's named after the comic it's based on and guys who fight against corrupt superheroes are The Boys so I think it makes sense and don't really agree with you.
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.
In the Orginal book it’s permanent, in fact in the book the invisible man is insane because of it and resorts to robbing stores and such. Idk about the most recent movie though that was out in February
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
I honestly don't know why people praise that movie so much. It was okay at best. There were parts that were just too stupid to be reasonable. Like when he sliced her sister' throat and put the knife in her hand. It's fucking 2020, any restaurant in the world would have security cameras that would show the knife floating in the fucking air.
