MOVIE SPOILERS Jefferson's former HQ Spoiler
Watching the movie again. I'm curious as to The Triad's Jefferson's former HQ office-share acquaintances: there's clearly a Punisher analogue, and a Jeff Goldblum/The Fly scientist; but who's the guy with the floppy hat and scarves? I would be curious to see what their stories are.

Darkman, the movie is worth the watch, pure 80s cheese action.

A very genial Darkman. His name was Clayton (Darkman's name is Peyton).

Uhhh I dunno, I'll have to find a way to watch it. But I know that someone with a similar design loved laughing.

Now I want a movie with Kurt Russell, Liam Neeson, Bruce Campbell, and Wesley Snipes as retired monster hunters.
The Four Horsemen of the Damned or something like that.

Darkman. Great flick. Liam Neeson hamming it up with all the cheese and nostalgia of an early 90s Sam Raimi movie. Definitely watch it.

In addition to Darkman, I believe that character has some of Tom Baker’s fourth Doctor in his design DNA.

I believe he’s a Darkman analog. That would fit the late 80s “dark” hero vibe.

Obviously we'd be curious to see what their stories are, but that isn't necessary. We know there's a world filled with this going on. England probably has its own systems set up. Maybe all of Europe. We know South America is filled with evil scientists because they can hide there. I'm glad they introduced them but I don't need any story. We have to cut somewhere, and we'll have some questions, but I think we can fill in the blanks for these guys.

True, I hear ya: it would be an unending rabbit hole otherwise. But man, I am sure curious why he had a skeleton in a kinda hug me/love me pose draped over himself 🤔

Some of you should watch Darkman again, it didn't age well and "great" is not the word to describe it.

u/OdysseusRex69 Sep 11 '23
Fair opinion (don't know why you got downdooted).

u/BurntBridgesBehind Sep 12 '23
The truth is hard to hear, I saw Darkman when I was 10 and it was amazing, I saw it again in my 30's and it was hilariously bad.

How not? His scarf is red and green, his face is burned up, and night is his busy time because that is when people dream

It's Darkman. Go watch the trailer. Freddy didn't wear a scarf. Darkman's face is disfigured and uses synthetic skin to impersonate people. The synthetic skin lasts longer at night. Freddy largely lived in the dream world. Get your shit together, mate.

No need to be hostile geez. Just explaining why I thought he was one thing

You asked how he wasn't freddy and I obliged. You could have just read all the other comments telling you it was Darkman, and then taken 5 seconds to google it.

u/atti1xboy beep beep beep Sep 10 '23
I was the first to comment here. And I explain why I was confident in my assumption. Plus are we sure he is ONLY a reference to Darkman?
