Like how are we going to pretend Black Widow is unrealistic but John Wick is perfectly fine?


I know right. I honestly think John Wick is good but Overrated. I mean dude is just literally killing/shooting one guy after another that just runs out at him, like Ultraviolet or something.

Its great on technicality though, when they actually do martial arts.

My post was not at all supposed to be shitting on John Wick. John Wick is fricking awesome. My point is that most great action movies are extremely unrealistic, but that doesn't prevent us from enjoying them.

I can't remember any vitriol being thrown at those movies. Maybe indifference but that's not the same as blasting it.

Now Ghost in the Shell got hate leading up to the release. But that was more the weird liberties it took as stuff leaked.

I actually agree with this, and I did not see the reason for a Black Widow movie, then Taskmaster happened. I'm only going to see it for Taskmaster.

I think the world needs about a three year break from comic book movies.

I havent. I do love a good backstory, but she just isnt that interesting to me. Outside of Hawkeye, she is probably the least interesting Avenger to me. I was kind of hoping they both would have fallen off that cliff.

Is this a trope I'm unfamiliar with?

It isn't "woman kicking a man's arse" people have an issue with. It's "untrained woman kicking a man's arse". No one bitched about Uma Thurman's character kicking the shite out of people, because we accept the premise of her universe that she was trained by the most badass martial artist of all time.

Taskmaster is male.

I don't listen to enough Russian accents to judge.

I enjoyed those movies, but this one looks far better than any of them.
