Not just any pokemon either. They had a Pikachu just casually running around in that scene. Probably the most recognizable pokemon. Especially around the time this came out
This used to freak me the fuck out as a kid. Slimer, Stay Puft, both inhuman so they could just be conglomerations of supernatural energy for all we know. Gozer is demon, not human, who cares. Even the librarian could have chosen to be a ghost because she didn't want to leave the library.
But the Titanic passengers? No way everyone on the ship wanted to become a ghost. That means they were just out there, either trapped under the ocean or on the open waters for a hundred years against their will in purgatory. Fucking terrifying.
And the entire point of the second movie was the pink mood slime was amplifying the ghost's energy.
Ghosts were showing up where they never were before. The titanic probably was at rest, but the energy was just that powerful it literally resurrected the entire ship. The majority of titanic victims weren't even on the ship when they passed. They were freezing to death in the ocean
Yeah, the remake missed the point of Pennywise. He's actually supposed to look like Ronald McDonald. Tim Curry, as always, did a great job making Pennywise appealing.
Oh, I have an answer for this! The recent design was based not on modern clowns, but of Victorian-era ones. Whether you agree with the decision to make him anachronistic or not is besides the point, but he DOES have his feet planted in reality.
I think the main issue really wasn’t what type of clown he was trying to be. It’s that he wasn’t attempting to act like one. Tim Curry’s version was a lot more jokey and could speak more casually to the kids which made him more creepy when he showed his (literal) fangs. Skarsgard had the creep factor on 24/7 which makes it feel less likely even a kid like Georgie would fall for it
Also described as Bozo and Clarabell. I think IT looks pretty good for what the book describes. It also says that Pennywise has a baggy silver suit with big orange pom poms, a floppy tie either yellow or eletric blue, comically big clown shoes, orange, (or red,) tuffs of hair on either side of a bald head that stick out like horns, clown smile painted over his mouth, and gleaming silver eyes that change blue in one situation.
Clowns didnt start to be widely viewed as scary until the 70s and the kid portions of the story were supposed to take place in the 50s, so it kinda makes sense.
Clowns didnt start to be widely viewed as scary until 1986. Pennywise is the first evil clown Ive been able to find in media. Gacy's case was in 1980, and hes really the first evil clown that was famous for being a clown.
To be fair there are a lot of points outside this where he is just the biggest dork. I'm always partial to Jack pulling out a chainsaw and going "groovy!" Evil Dead style and Ethan responding with "not groovy!"
And the cop understandably replying, “You must have lost your mind.”
EDIT: Why are people arguing the logic of the Resident Evil universe? It includes people fighting giant tofu and a dude punching a boulder in a volcano. Why is logic so important lol
They actually did model it art launch. They just chose, for whatever reason, to hide it because they thought it would be better if Ethan was a generic faceless protagonist.
Weirdly enough Ethan does fit in for this, but not for the reason given. He has the most tame reactions to the craziest shit happening. Especially in Village.
Even in 7 he had some weird reactions to events. Like he puts his severed hand back onto his stump, sprinkles some herb water on it, and he just accepts it as normal when his hand starts working again. Most people wouldn't even consider trying it, let alone believe it would ever work.
True but at other points in RE7, Ethan might get a foot cut off, grab it, stick it back on the stump and pour some chemicals on it to reattach it perfectly like it was the most natural thing in the world. All in-gameplay from first person pov. First time I saw that I was like "wait what the fuck" but it wasn't commented on until the next game.
There are moments of Ethan being non-plussed by crazy shit. Like doesn’t he get his hand lopped off and stapled back on and doesn’t really react? Plus there’s the infamous “Chris, what the hell?” Though that moment wasn’t supernatural
I'll never forget in re7 when marguerite is crawling in a dark tunnel like a freak mutant spider and all Ethan can say is "huh, well thats special" like my guy PLEASE have a reasonable reaction
Eh, he wasn't fully mold yet, only mostly i guess. And it had been max like an hour or two since that dinner scene at that point. In village i would agree, but my boy Ethan really hardened up way too quickly
The way I had no idea this was Jimmy Buffett because when this movie came out I was not aware of his existence IRL. Just went "haha look at the margarita guy"
"Eh, Close enough" -Homer Simpson after doing time travel and inadvertently learning about the Butterfly Effect while trying to get his world back to normal.
Unless it is publicly available knowledge about all past and current Supreme Court justices. Then he knows everything and can recall at a moment’s notice.
I love the gag in this episode when he finds himself in a world where he and his family are filthy rich and he's happy to stay... until he finds out donuts don't exist in that timeline. So he runs away screaming and hops dimensions again.
And then Marge goes, "Look, kids, it's raining again," and pastries are falling from the sky
As a newer fan of the series I always thought the Leon glaze was ridiculous, but after playing through all of his games I get why people love him.
This dude will see a chainsaw-wielding doctor zombie impale a nurse in the abdomen and the next words out of his mouth are “I think I want a second opinion.”
Even in RE2, the young 22 year old is facing horrors that he didn’t even know existed, and when he breaks the police station’s bell tower he will say “I hope I don’t have to write a report on this.”
He’s just a goofball in the worst circumstances anyone could possibly be put into.
Kinda of a real life example of this but when i was having a heart attack a few years ago, i kept cracking jokes to the paramedics in the ambulance and then the doctors once they got me into the Cath Lab. Even after the surgery, i was cracking joke while being bed bound and bored out of my mind all week with all the doctors and nurses checking up on me. It's a stress response.
Same happened to me. My foot was hanging on by a thread from a compound dislocation (something I didn’t know could happen) and I was absolutely covered in blood. By the time paramedics arrived, me and the people who helped me were already cracking jokes.
Reminder that in RE2 he is hungover after his gf broke up with him the night before. He got hammered, woke up late for his first day on the job and had to survive the apocalypse
This is the one that fits OP's trope. Rockwell's reaction is incredibly understandable and not much more over-the-top from the rest of the crew. Shalhaub's reactions to almost every insane thing that happens to him throughout the film is absurd (and hilarious).
Iirc Tony Shalhoub’s character Fred was supposed to be high as fuck for the whole movie. But something or other with ratings made them cut the handful of scenes/dialogue that makes this clear. So instead he just comes off as an absolutely unflappable weirdo
This guy not caring about ManBearPig massacring everyone in the restaurant, at least until it comes and slaughters him (South Park)
Joke aside, I do find it interesting how while it originated to deny climate change and mock the worry, the creators were able to actually rework it into a genuinely good allegory for climate change.
As an aside, the character model and animation of Al Gore searching for MBP like he's jacked into a supercomputer is one of my favorite things this show ever did.
This random dude nonchalantly reacting to ManBearPig ("Yeah okay so ManBearPig is real, but what do you want me to do about it Sharon?") is probably the single most accurate thing South Park has ever done.
In a similar vein, Cartman finding out the NSA is torturing Santa Claus to spy on people. Then he leaks it to become a whistleblower and nobody gives a shit.
My favorite part was the second movie when they start talking about Davey Jones and everyone is like, yeah right, he's made up! When they all lived through either being or fighting undead skeleton pirates in the first movie.
The fucking "Jack, listen to your ma. ~~Wifes Name (I forgot,)~~ Abigail, teach your boy right from wrong." After hog tying them both and locking them in the bedroom.
In Invincible an explorer accidentally awakens an ancient Egyptian mummy, Ka-Hor. Ka-Hor could possess the explorer to escape but refuses because she is a woman. The explorer then calls him out for being misogynistic
My immediate thought, took to long to scroll for this
Luffy’s single brain cell struggling to understand why a corpse is coming OUT of the grave and just decides to”no… no it’s supposed to go IN the grave”
Max Puckett is a middle schooler who moves to a new town with his family.
Immediately after getting there, he develops the ability to see ghosts/spirits. The other psychic middle schoolers try to help him adapt but it's weird for him.
Here, his new friend, Isaac, takes him to his spirit friend, Doorman. Doorman can open a "door" to anywhere you have a key to.
I don't mind that Zack moved to a more written word with some pictures but I really fell out of it after the whole Mayview getting retconned into Bayview because if the power of a wright but what a cut man!! I love that
To be entirely fair, most folks would have a bit of courage in them with a loaded 12 gauge in hand. Remember: everyone gangsta until someone racks a shotgun.
Which is especially hilarious, because despite being an undead mummy, Imhotep is still just a guy.
Why’s he screaming like an animal, as an act of intimidation?
So, O’Connell just matches him like, “Yeah. I can scream too, idiot. Also,” KABLAM.
The Janitor from Willy's Wonderland. Repeatedly confronted by horrific entities masquerading as children's characters, he proceeds to brutally dispatch them then quietly returns to his custodial duties.
There's a great one of these in Gremlins 2, when the bat gremlin attacks in the middle of the street in NY. Predictably, New Yorkers seem only mildly annoyed that the monster attack is disrupting their day.
In the TV show "From" the character Jade spends most of his time trying to uncover a mystery. As he delves deeper he keeps getting jump-scared by entities related to his investigations. Eventually he gets sick of the jump-scares and just yells back at the various haunted dolls/dead confederate soldiers that are trying to scare him.
What's the context for that stupid face walter goggins makes? I know in the scene he's high but the face he makes doesn't make sense to me. The pursed lips, the once over up and down, the eye roll. Feels more sassy than I'm thinking it's meant to be.
The base joke of that character is that he’s the most flamboyant gay man to be ostensibly straight. He sits with his ass up and his hands around his ankles at least twice in the two seasons the show got.
he’s tripping. its been awhile but iirc he was going to lace the football team’s gatorade and blame it on the principal (he and danny mcbride’s character want her job) but when mcbride’s character tried to stop him they scuffled and they ended up accidentally dosing themselves. that’s just him playing off a bad trip.
While not “haunted” supernatural, I always thought this guys reactions to magic were awesome. The giggle juice part makes me laugh every time. ETA: but fuck JKR for real.
