I would also add Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping as great newer parodies. The first, starring John C. Reilly is a spoof of Walk the Line and music biopics in general, the second a spoof of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and popstar documentaries in general, starring Andy Samberg. Both movies were box office bombs unfortunately, despite being really funny and also having actually great songs.
Doom in the comics is more like movie Thanos than comic Thanos. Comic Thanos is legitimately mad and killed half the universe just to impress Mistress Death (she was not impressed).
He’s basically Stark, Strange and Black Panther rolled into one, with the arrogance of Strange and Stark dialed to eleven.
He’s completely capable of doing very evil shit to reach his goals but also has moral principles. He has tried to kill the Fantastic Four countless times and is still the godfather of the daughter of Reed and Sue. Her first word was “Doom”.
Well, he never says he’s evil but is certainly seen as a villian: Dr. Victor van Doom. He’s actually glimpsed all possible timelines of humanity and only the one where he reigns is not ending in destruction. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d9668819558c73a8fda43cd4bc0ef0a-lq He is also loved by the people of the country he does rule. And when he had indeed managed to rule the world, it was a time of peace. I mean, mind control peace (he amplified the power of Kilgrave the Purple Man) but still.
If you’re asking yourself why Kilgrave didn’t simply control him, Doom is one of the few people with so much natural willpower that Kilgrave’s powers don’t work on him: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/e8/c8/d5e8c8ee71120993b8616128b08a6a22.jpg
If you look at the “VFX artists react” episode, it really seems that way.
Why do you want to give her parseltongue?
Well to be fair in his later works, the grotesque aliens are mostly merely indifferent towards humans and not inherently evil. But yeah, most of his stuff is super rascist nevertheless.
From three day special operation to forever war, from world power to laughing stock.
I know what you mean, but it’s not an allergy but the lack of a gene to metabolize alcohol properly. So it’s more comparable to lactose intolerance (which over 70 percent of Asians also have).
And unlike cannabis use (as far as I’m aware), alcoholism is actually a real problem in Japan, because drinking alcohol is not only socially acceptable but downright enforced.
He’ll probably write something more like: "HEY, Mr. Chat! Make me, TRUMP, the GREATEST health car PLAN ever, better than that of LAME and corrupt OBOMA!!!
That’s because a whole lot less cops and soldiers are environmentalists.
And before that it was Schröder (a corrupt Putin buddy) and Kohl (Merkel’s mentor who also mainly kept the status quo intact and lucked upon the reunification which led to an economic upturn). Germany is at a standstill since the 90s.
Yeah, here in Germany, most politicians don’t really like to engage with digital topics at all and flat out refuse to use the internet. Which explains why my country has the worst internet in Western Europe by far.
Haven’t read it, but it’s about an apocalyptic scenario where normal people turn into absolute psychopaths. The Asian movie The Sadness has a similar premise.
Fun fact, Christopher Lee dubbed himself in the German version since he spoke fluent German (also French and Italian).
It’s the best movie I would never recommend to watch. Unless you really want to feel miserable afterwards.
Close second is Requiem for a Dream.
I mean, several books by Stephen King have actually been written by the mountains of coke and rivers of booze he did, as he has no memories of writing them.
Oh, if you can be sure of one thing it’s that execs will draw the completely wrong conclusions from this.
Airplane! is also a parody of one particular movie that is mostly forgotten now, Zero Hour, and spoofs a then popular subgenre of airplane catastrophe movies.
Walk Hard in particular is very much in the ZAZ vein.
