In other Wolverine films we've seen the healing factor literally push bullets back out. But we also know that it can't get rid of the adamantium bone lacing, so the same probably holds for the adamantium bullet, which is a problem when that bullet is rattling around in your adamantium laced brainpan. I also shudder to think about what that bullet did to the inside of the gun barrel. Use a softer metal jacket, with an Adamantium core? Or if you want fancy, a discarding sabot?

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 The bullets being forced out makes for neat looking effects but usually makes no sense. Wolverine being shot in his adamantium skull would make the bullet just bounce off, not sink in and then be pushed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinecone Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 But the software existed for the cgi, because of other projects. Didn't Hulk also push out bullets, then heal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just got back from seeing. All the actors are good, is a good "James Bond" style film. Had an entertaining 2 hours. Loved Red Guardian. Obvious stuff setup for future. I recommend the movie, for those that it matters. Granted, I am often a low bar person and there are quite a few who are much more critical of movies then me. I will make specific comments when I can remember how to do the d*** spoiler tags again, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slikmar Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 About Black Widow details: and thanks DMjalund. Spoiler 1st, I kept thinking all through movie they were setting up Yelena to replace Natasha, and seeing the final end scene in credits, I am sure of it. apparently she will be appearing in Hawkeye working for Valentina whose organization appeared in F&WS (from what I read as I don't have enough data to try to stream shows). Speaking of, is Valentina's organization considered bad or more of like DCs Waller. Per first post credit scene, apparently it was Natasha, not Steve who broke everyone out of The Raft (or maybe the 2 together) Speaking of Steve, Red Guardian was positive he fought Cap in the 80s, so makes me wonder, did hi? WE know now that Steve was actually around all that time. Could he have been doing jobs for his wife? Everything always comes down to Budapes(h?)t. What is it with Marvel and crashing things that are in the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. MID-Nite Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 This was my official FB review.... Movie Review: Black Widow (2021). With the never ending delays on this film's release, it was almost inevitable that the expectations around this one would surpass what we actually get. This film in many ways reminds me of Solo. There's nothing particularly wrong with it, but there's nothing that really stands out about it either. If it hadn't been made, I don't feel like we would have been missing anything in terms of its impact on the MCU. Now....I'll freely admit this film would have felt much better had it come out before Infinity War. As it stands, this movie can't really offer up much excitement as we already know where this story ends. Taskmaster was the big draw for me and that ended up as a disappointment (and not for the twist everyone is complaining about). Dave Harbour's Red Guardian is probably the best thing about the film. I also appreciated seeing Rachael Weisz again (a favorite of mine since 1999's The Mummy). Again, there's nothing embarrassing here, but it just doesn't pack enough of a punch visually or dramatically for me to give it more than an average grade. So...this one gets a C+ Iuz the Evil and Matt the Bruins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...this one gets a C+ Pretty much agree overall. We saw it yesterday. As for Taskmaster Spoiler I recall thinking not too long after we were lead to "if you did not see the body he was not really dead" that the moviemaker mentality would draw that connection. Just like that Batman movie had to make Joe Chill the Joker so that everything would be neatly connected. That's another male Marvel villain converted into an unfortunate female victim.

Hugh Neilson Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 It's also not great healing if it just seals up over something that definitely does not belong in there. Beast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-Bear Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 My Daughter, both boys and niece went to see it yesterday and we enjoyed it. I thought that it was slow in spots but overall fine. Ok, who couldn’t see the Taskmaster “twist” as soon as you saw the little girl get in the blast? And with the point of the villain being so coldhearted, seriously making his own daughter into that? It went into the theme of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt the Bruins Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yep. And could have had the exact same plot-mandated memory effects on Wolverine, since a really bad concussion from the impact could have done brain damage just like the bullet actually penetrating his skull.

I would not at all be shocked to find out that this is the case.

This was RDJ condition for Avengers I think. I think I heard that he contracted for the work for 10% of the take. And then the movie blew up CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
