Revisiting PROMETHEUS...

[Silver Surfer]

not really. i mean the only thing that bothered me was the random independent day sacrifice at the end, other than that most of it made sense to me. examples please ???

I have a feeling the bar is low on things making sense to you....

he probably was the only dude giving the new fantastic 4 a standing ovation and no one else around.... On opening night.

The geologist expert getting lost in the cave when he had an XRAY 3D map!! The xenobiologist trying to "pet" clearly hostile alien life...
The chick running in a straight line tripping and getting crushed when she could have just hopped left would have lived. building the Prometheus ship which cost trillions in r&d has no offense fukking weaponry at all!!! the owner bishop weylund faking his death but hiding in a stasis pod on the ship the entire time...

This is everything I pointed out in the original thread. The Weyland shyt is especially nonsensical because he funded the entire mission....hired everyone....who the fukk is he hiding from?

He could've told them "any aliens we come in contact with, I'm fukking them. I'm looking for aliens to fukk breh" and there really ain't shyt any of them could say/do about it because it's his money.

Movie is status.

no the bar is low when it comes to me choosing to accept something that is fiction and not looking to deep into it.

So even if a movie is not a parody....you still look at it as a parody?

no. youre taking it out of context now.

 

[Silver Surfer]

no. youre taking it out of context now.

You said because its fiction....you allow yourself to suspend belief of common sense for the fact that its fiction.

Normally thats the case if you are watching a parody..but this movie is not a parody

There is an expectation that a scientist behaves like a scientist.....

so by your merit, do you find it hard to believe a person can shoot webs out of their arms because they were bitten by a radioactive spider ???

???

Spiderman does not produce webs...he has a contraption on his wrists that he made himself.

And if he was able to and they portrayed it on the screen...its because its from the comic book source

the question is do you find it hard to believe. that from being bitten by a radioactive spider you can crawl up walls and stick to objects, all while aquiring superhero strength.

Of course....thats a comic book..its more fantasy than science ficton

You're talking about two different things.

Super heroes are common in Marvel comics....so Spider-Man doing a bunch of crazy shyt isn't implausible. It's an accepted part of that fictional universe.

There is no reason to think (for example) scientists would act like complete fukking morons in the "Alien" series of movies. There's no precedent for it. And it has nothing to do with the sci-fi aspects of the story, either.

You're acting like suspend disbelief = accept anything that appears on screen, regardless of logic or context. That's not how it works. There's several elements to "Game Of Thrones" that are completely unrealistic, but they're embedded in the story. Nobody gives a second glance to a dragon, or a shadow baby.

On the other hand "Breaking Bad" had several unrealistic scenes....but if a dragon popped up you damn well better have the sense to call bullshyt on it. Nobody in their right mind would sit there like "eh, it's all fiction".
