[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8161235, member: 6803664"] I'll assume you've never read a comic book in your life. I assure you that these are NOT the strangest things ever to grace the pages of the 4 color world. Nor are they even the strangest things to appear in superhero films/TV shows. And a guy from 1918 stealing & firing up a jet? While poorly-not explained &/or a missed chance for some dialog, completely plausible in comic-world. On the cartridges... Stop. Now your sounding like my friend Tom & his rants about the 1st Matrix movie.. [ISPOILER]Way back when The Matrix came out several of us went & saw it. We come out discussing how it was one of the best action movies we'd seen in quite a while. Tom chimes in that he thought it sucked. We just stare at him... He goes on to proclaim that the whole thing was ruined by the hallway scene where they're blowing the pillars apart during that shoot-out. Because the wrong cartridges are being ejected from the guns. That that Cal. would never fit, blah blah blah.... Whole movie ruined. [SIZE=2](Now Tom is very into guns. Ammo. Etc. The rest of us are not. So if he tells me those are the wrong cartridges? OK, fine, they're wrong. I don't need to waste my time fact checking him. And right or wrong my enjoyment of the film isn't affected)[/SIZE] Someone had to point out to him that that whole scene, indeed much of the movie, took place in the virtual world. Even if he's correct & those were the wrong cartridges? It didn't matter because the images don't HAVE to match reality. To date Tom still hates the 1st Matrix movie. So in an alternate universe, who cares why/how they developed GLs that fire the whole shell at you? Not a plot point. The most obvious answer? Because that's just what the Effects team though looked cool for the scene.[/ISPOILER] [/QUOTE]
