You were trying to hit a guy in the head with a sword 15 seconds ago and now you won't do it when it's your chance? It's not like the villain is trying to kill the MC and he's just parrying or something. Both guys are clearly on the offense and clearly any hits that would get through would be fatal

>they turn around and the other character magically disappeared

Batman does this all the time and so do lots of movies which I cant specifically think of. I get its supposed to give a sense mysteriousness (i think?). But its so cheesy. It means the character would have to consciously think "Oh hes not looking! Quick book it!" and then go run and hide to the nearest location until the coast was clear to actually leave.

What are you talking about? Batman has no powers and everything he does can be explained somewhat logically. And of course its intentionally done. Its intentionally done in every movie its in lol. Explain how batman pulls it off and his thought process? There is a scene in the dark knight where he is talking to Gordon in the police station. He does this in the enclosed police station. Which means he had to of thought "Oh quick hes not looking!" then dip around the corner and hide. Im not saying it hasnt been a part of batman the character, but it still makes no sense

>>67383898
I understand what you mean. It reminds me of something that bothers me too.

When characters pull the trigger on someone but the gun jams / is out of bullets. I'm not sure how to explain it but it's like, sometimes it's very obvious the character would never have tried to kill that person and it's only done BECAUSE the screenwriter knows the gun won't work. Like the scene in Pirates, none of them would have just killed each other at that point it's insane.

>>67384391
Except that's literally Batman's MO. He doesn't want to be followed, seen leaving, seen coming, etc. Same reason he likes to appear out of nowhere. It's his character. He doesn't break his character outside of very few people like Alfred. When a character does things his character is suppose to do it's good not bad.
>>
>>67384456
>He doesn't want to be followed, seen leaving, seen coming, etc
That's a fair point. There is still something kinda funny about it
>>
>>67384487
Because it's always done in the viewpoint of say Gordon, usually as a "lol Batman xD". Sparingly done it can be either funny or cool, but it should primarily be done as the focus is on Batman leaving so the audience can understand the character better. One of my biggest gripe's with Nolan's film is that we
re always watching Batman, never are we really in the viewpoint of being Batman. Batman Begins is the best example being the Bat, whereas TDK and TDKR became more of just watching him perform.

This is actually decent directing and you should go fuck yourself. I don't want to watch a 21h movie because we had to watch john wick clean up his entire house. I don't want to see corleone stuff the entire wedding buffet down his jowls. Shots like that are great if paired with dialogue, otherwise you're just wasting time for authenticity that nobody cares for>>67387756

This. It's even worse because showing a massive, camera-shaking explosion in complete silence (bonus points for the faint sound of debris hitting the hull) would be way more effective.

People generally know that there's no sound and for once the cheaper and easier solution is actually better.

Why do YuroPoors always have dirty shoes? In America we have like 4 pairs at minimum per person and you might even be publicly shamed if youre wearing old dirty shoes ("WHAT ARE THOSE!!!")

Because when we buy shoes, we walk on them until they're too worn to wear and then we buy new ones, having 4 pairs would be considered very feminine.

Percussion caps are essentially a tiny metal bit with explosive in them. Sometimes they fall off the nipple after they're fired and can jam up the cylinder, probably what you saw
They are tiny though, and you probably wouldn't see, yet hear, it falling to the ground

There is no evidence that he was captured anyway, or that he wasn't dead already.

They didn't take him alive, dumped his body without making identification or photos, then the crew that "got him" died in an accident a week later

Just stop pretending something awesome happened and then ruining everything by focusing on another thing. They even did this in some video games like The Last of Us.

It still really makes no sense: there would never be a need to use them like a fucking tac team when every department has at least one.
