At no point during that entire movie does it even come across that he is in charge of anything.

"Judge him not for the millions who died for his vainglorious pursuit of European domination, but for his losercuckdom"

Yeah, he was a freak by virtue of how singularly extraordinary he was, but that does mean that he wasn't pathetic, and portraying him as such is disserving the material and wasting the audience's time.

It made my forehead look fucking incredible.

So Novichok is basically like GHB where it's kinda fun in small doses that fall short of its actual intent?

Not trying to pursue it, but is the "Soviet research chemical" bit actually true? Like I always figured that was a sort of stand-in joke.

Perhaps if could have included some screens that depicted him as powerful in any way at any point...

It's not that strong of a drug unless you do a lot of it or find some baking soda.

He conquered Europe.

It could have easily contained as many Asians as the book. That was eminently doable.

Mindy Park... COME ON

"The most competent man who ever lived was a punk bitch" is the thesis of that movie.

Like, congratulations on being English, dude.

I try to block that one out. Robin Hood was one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. The Martian was certainly watchable but one of the most whitewashed movies ever made.

Yes, Adam Driver's version is obviously very different, I meant the last two.

Did he have his blood replaced, though?

The Last Duel is the Rashomon of heterosexuality, in that it shows you the exact same version twice except she's pissy about his attitude towards events they both agreed definitely happened.

He's so washed...

This is basically the setting of my Sonic the Hedgehog adaptation, except Dr. Mobius was a furry who was forced to flee Earth for unspecified reasons related to the creation of the animal-people.

Also, I really loved the scene with the officer bringing the news to the roundly-shitfaced British Admiralty who are all singing Anacreon in Heaven while celebrating Napoleon's first defeat, and one of the admirals just starts shouting "HORATIO" while bawling uncontrollably.

I've written seven versions of the Battle of Baltimore and six of them started with the attack on DC being retaliation for the American blockade of Britain, which started 3 weeks before the Chesapeake campaign.

I only stopped doing that because the opening naval battle was pointlessly expensive.
