ID4 would've been a 'meme movie' if released today. Still good though.

Why didn't Harry just travel back in time and kill Voldemort when he was a baby?
>>
>>68884040
Thats not how time travel works in it. That happened it was always going to happen you cant change the past with it. Buckbeak survived because he had already, he doesnt die in any timeline. Harry sees himself when he didnt go back in time yet. its a closed loop. plus you have to have the time turner on during the day you travel back in time to, something like that. and its regulated nobody was anticipating what happened
>>
>>68884116
I mean the person needs to be wearing it during the entire amount of time you wish to travel back to. ie hermione using it everyday

Attempting to kill a baby because you believe it will be a threat one day is exactly what Voldemort did. The series' story does not endorse that kind of violence.

No I dont

>>68884040
i thought you meant Harry should travel back in time and kill Voldemort when Harry was a baby...either way you cant go that far back in time with the time turner apparently. its limited to usage in a brief time in the past

You seriously saying that movies being memes, is their fault? That old movies didn't go 'viral' because they were better made?

Movies back in the day never had the world building of TV shows. Hell even TV shows didn't even have much world building other then a series of tropes.
Trying to hide the 'gay' roommate from Mr.Roper.

If anything these movies are more consistent then ever and avoid more tropes then ever before. James bond can have fluidity between films, you know the next Prometheus movie isn't going to be a Jungle Action flick that's reminiscent of Afghanistan, and the next horror movie isn't going to retcon the ending of the last movie like EVERY freddy movie and even Evil Dead 2.
>>
>>68884434
Worldbuilding is nonsense. The only thing worth building is the narrative.
>>
>>68884434
Ridley scott is an exception of course when it comes to the alien universe. James bond has been shit, Quantum is the best recent one. The actual game in Casino Royale is cringeworthy.
>>
>>68883846
You mean why do dumb movies have memes like 'HARRY IS KEK TO HERMIONE?" and "BIG GUY?" and "HELP ME TONY!"

yeah, I remember working at a movie story in the 90s and not seeing memes in movies. We tried...

WHO DIDN'T SAY:

>"I'll BE BACK!"
>"CLEVER GIRL"
>"IT WAS A BORING COVERSATION ANYWAYS"
>"OPEN THE POD BAY DOOR HAL"
>"I AM SPARTACUS!"
>"REDRUM! REDRUM! REDRUM!"
>>
>>68884478
Yeah, that's why people hated Tolkien, because of his skillful world building, made D&D popular and helped bring in a whole world of possibilities.

It may be shite, but that's what made his HORRIBLE writting popular, that some people think is the finest written english stories.

Yeah but bond movies were all over the places, hell event eh reason they did Predators was to replace how out of place Predator 2 was. Meme is a good thing. It's what makes your art memorable. Why would you make your movie forgettable.

I always liked to say "THIS IS SPARTA" but obviously the /tv/ upper class never did and found it degenerative to the art as a whole.

Also pic related: was never meant to be a meme, except for all the faggots in this threat incetual bumfucking eachother like a troll orgy.

Yeah, blame the movies for Trolls.

No one uses worldbuilding. They all use narratives. It's the consistency that is called worldbuilding, this is as opposed to the old 'TROPE' building of the old films.

I noticed if I didn't go on Redit, 9gag, or 4chan, I didn't notice movies as MAYMAYS, also.

it is possible to fucking leave here, if how MOVIES are bother you. Just the problem is they make money from it, for the same reason we have MILD SALSA. just remember.

MILD SALSA isn't even salsa it's not spicy. But it's popular, because it doesn't hit the lowest common denominator but the middle ground. So it's not that the movies are shit, they're just PERFECTLY AVERAGE.

Ok. lets take this slowly. first read the wiki then get back to me, it says things like it can only be used for 5 hours etc. http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Time-Turner

Since H&H are able to travel back and time they do. They go back in time and avoid there former selves. There is no timeline where they didnt go back in time. This already happened because they go back in time originally and always. What is done in the past already had happened simultaneously. with them going back in time. Thats the entire point of the film Harry uses the patronus so well because he knows he had already done it earlier.

>>
>>68884768
Not until I got here. you guys MAKE them memes. You could talk about anything, but you don't. So you can tell me a meme from EACH of those movies, I couldn't until now.

I liked most... of them, obviously not F&F but I'd atch it just to know what it was about. If I watch a movie twice is the real deal, imho. Iron-Man you really wanted to watch it again, some really cool moments. Hobbit and movies like that I cna watch a few times, mostly because of length. Like Watchmen and Dark Knight.

Yeah, that makes no sense is a Paradox. You can't have the timeline go back into itself before it goes back into itself. Timeline, not time portal. there has to be a continuity.

This is erroneous, but can be explained because we didn't see the original timeline, and instead see the secondary timeline, up until the point they go back in time, which doesn't START the secondary timeline, but actually ENDS it.
>>
>>68885132
Whether they're different or not the source material is still children's books and the movies are children's movies.

Unironically enjoying children's entertainment after the age of thirteen is the memeiest of all memes.

Age level of reading is the same age as harry!

most newspapers reading level is like 5th grader.

So it's young adult, whatever man. You can dis one of the best english literature set of novel as kids books, but you just look like an idiot that has no idea what he's talking about and is making from assumption. Kids reading now is mostly because of Harry Potter. Most books are trash anyways. Either boring or poorly written, this is neither.

time turners a 5 hour restriction for fucking with shit
by the ministry

Time-related magic is unstable, and serious breaches in the laws of time result in catastrophic events. Possible scenarios include a wizard or witch killing their past or future selves by mistake, or altering one's life path in such a drastic fashion that it can result in temporal anomalies such as un-births. As such, the Ministry of Magic seeks the strictest guarantees if it permits the use of Time-Turners: Time-Turner possession is hedged around with literally hundreds of laws, and the most stringent laws and penalties are in place to prevent their misuse.

The longest period that can be travelled back in time without serious chance of harm to the traveller or time itself is around five hours. [4]

I'll give you this, that's true. The only reason they didn't become memes though, is because we weren't obsessed with making everything one at the time.

The possibility of time travel within the Harry Potter universe may seem to allow many plot holes, but characters appear to use them for trivial tasks that have no effect on existence as a whole. The one notable use of a Time-Turner within canon, the Rescue of Sirius Black and Buckbeak, obeys the Novikov Self-Consistency Principle. This theory of time-travel, stating that "Nothing can be changed because anything a traveller does merely produces the circumstances they had noted before travelling," is incidentally reminiscent of J. K. Rowling's employment of self-fulfilling prophecy.

What happened to the time turner anyway?
>>
>>68886606
>>68886606
>>68886606
read up on the time turners the entire supply was destroyed in the ministry battle, the time turners apparently were stuck in an infinite loop of smashing into the ground.

even if they werent destroyed multiple versions of himself would lead to more chances he could die. and the ministry controlled its use and approved Dumbledore and mcgonagall letting their student use one. for school. which is very self deprecating. its tongue and cheek, the entire premise of a girl know it all using the most powerful thing ever to tale more classes is extremely British humour.
