I've been keeping up with the DBZ Abridged Parody.
This latest episode is probably the most rockin' one yet.

Episode 14, should be the one which loads, has...well, okay, their take on Dodoria is what I like the most.
He's much scarier and effective than Zarbon. Maybe it's something about his head being screwed on straight, despite the redneck accent.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

So, just back from Iron Man 2.
It's, on the whole, pretty good.
1) Tony Stark asks a DJ to put some music on before he starts fighting. And slugs it out to "Another One Bites the Dust". This is what led me to post in here.
2) Annoying as hell corporate-wormy guy can dance.
3) Big scary Russian guy is big, scary, and cool. And so Russian he's hard to understand.
4) Nick Fury is the man.
Don't expect anything super-intelligent. Spoilers and plot analysis below:

So, turns out having a radioactive fist-sized battery in your chest is not good. Tony Stark's dying from the encroaching poison leaking off of it. He's being even more of a jackass than usual to hide it. He has no other option that he knows of--there's no other radioactive element which can work for the reactor, and he's tried all of them
Stark's in trouble with the US army/government, who are understandably leery of a private citizen flying around in a super-powered suit.
His father worked with a defected-to-US Soviet scientist to make the arc-reactor thing in the 60's. Then got the Soviet dude deported because he got greedy or unstable or something.
He passed the designs/plans onto his son, who is the above-mentioned big scary cool Russian guy, who manages to miniaturize it like Tony did and causes some trouble for Tony.
Other than that, there's the occasional very cool bit. It's worth seeing for a night out.
Stay after the credits to see an extra scene.

Yeah.Prak_Anima wrote:Tony's complete shut down of the hearing by "poisoning the well" and propping up machinery with an incomplete prototype (or heavily damaged) Captain America shield were awesome.
Not just poisoning the well, but shitting into it before revealing it was filled with shit itself.
If there's one thing that gets me, it's how, apparently, being a genius inventor or physicist means you're also extremely proficient at hacking.

It's also chock-full of irony.Prak_Anima wrote:and propping up machinery with an incomplete prototype (or heavily damaged) Captain America shield were awesome.
Captain America's shield is made of Vibranium, which is very likely to be the very element he was trying to make. Which makes his "this is just what I needed" spiel beforehand that much more hilarious.
I noticed that, too. That was a good bait-and-switch.Quantumboost wrote:It's also chock-full of irony.Prak_Anima wrote:and propping up machinery with an incomplete prototype (or heavily damaged) Captain America shield were awesome.

Did anyone else stay after the credits?
Looks like the Thor movie's up next.

They have a scene where a SHIELD guy from earlier who was being sent out to New Mexico arrives at a huge crater, at the bottom of which is a hammer. He phones Fury and says "We found it."

But it's the Hulk. Sure, you can try to make Banner sympathetic and show his torment and his fear for others
But people are going to come to the movie to see the Hulk.

Oh, my sister's Soul Silver has impressed me enough I'm going to pick up HG when I have a bit of spare cash.
Edit: Oh, wait, I have to justify it.
See, now, I can put together a viable team using pokemon that I like.
Also, get more stuff to play with. Gellade is looking fun to use. I might have to write it up D&D style just to complete the Ralts series back on page 1 of the D&D Pokemon thread. Unless someone's beaten me to it and I haven't seen it.

Had a Gallade in Platinum, it's pretty awesome (by my definitely non-competition standards). Psycho Cut = <3.

I don't know of any statting up anyone's done for D&D Gallade.
The Hulk sucked. The special effects never actually interacted with the world around them, they used no camera shake or composited props; only the hulk and the badguy were animated, and on the same rig. They had better FX in the TV show with their cheap stunt rigs breaking around the actors.
It was terrible. From a story standpoint, too, why did anyone do the things they did? Ugh. And the title sequence was so promising.

I missed it myself but my brother said about something even cooler about the DJ playing music with the Iron Man/War Machine fight: the DJ starts playing Robot Rock by Daft Punk.
I agree about Mickey Rourke being awesome, and I really like the fact that Vanko started using drones rather than continuing with suits.
But yeah, the whole element thing was complete bullshit. The scale model describing the element made no sense whatsoever. I had this image of a box coming up saying "Achievement Unlocked: You have created a new element."
Oh, wait, that will probably be exactly what happens in a game.
