Ninja Theory spent 90% of the PR stating how much better Western media was.

Unfortunately, Bat Nipples had no practical use for the world. Although I do remember a statement by Shumacher about the costume design having something to do with emulating the breastplates of Roman soldiers, in such a way that it was supposed to be demoralizing to the enemy to see what looked like a naked human torso taking a sword slash and laughing it off, bearing no bloody injury.
Huh, that's interesting. I thought it was just another cog in the ridiculous-and-flashy machine, but that makes a lot more sense. Point to Schmacher.

I think the main point of the "Batman and Robin to Chronicle" comparison was of the differing ideas of what makes a hero (or villian) these days.
Batman and Robin was, as Chancy put it "gaudy as f#ck," and Chronicle gave us TK-slinging teenagers where the cast ends up as heroes and villains, and all without a cape in sight. Similar to Unbreakable (thpoilerth~).

That wasn't aimed towards you. You're really bad at this. Stop trying so hard.

It still baffles me how M. Night Shymalan can make The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable to then totally forever suck after that.

The movie still had some slightly homoerotic subtext to it, but, it also pays to remember that at the time in the 90s, lightly homoerotic subtext was pure comedic gold >.<
It had nothing to do with "Western is better," mang. It was that Japan's idea of Western was still very much shaped by their much more stylized sensibilities, and that stylized sensibilities in general were not helpful to getting that more down-to-earth and grittier story to form.

It's easy, he thought everything he ever did was going to be gold, and he stopped actually trying. He committed the worst offense any author can commit: he got complacent.

Plus the moron put Jaden "I ruined Karate Kid" Smith in his movie
While I like that movie, I hope the first thing Jaden learned from that movie was he is NOT The Fresh Prince part 2. Thank god Jackie Chan was around to balance the scales.

I can't figure out how a movie could be titled "Karate Kid" and be comprised of nothing but wushu, which is decidedly not Karate...
However, what Shamalamadingdong movie was Jaden even in...?

I love the original Karate Kid and watched it quite a bit when I was a kid but the remake was actually pretty good and one of the few remakes I can say maybe was even better than the original. Jaden wasn't bad in that movie but, I've yet to reach the point where I can say he might be just as good as his dad one day.

But as bad as Jaden is
I think M.Night Shamalamadingdong was the moron who ruined After Earth

The Karate Kid is the catchier title?
And Jaden was in that new After Earth with his dad. I'm wondering why Will Smith said no to Django Unchained and yes to After Earth........dafuq are you thinking Will?

I liked it to. I really didn't see what the big deal was about his attire. It's my second favorite design for him. The first being his DMC2 attire.

Bleach...just like Hollow Vergil you say?

I still think that's mostly a coincidence, because pale-white versions of existing characters was done well before Bleach, and "evil sides" have existed before then as well :/ It's another case of "DmC existing in a vacuum with whatever it ripped off," to me.

I was just being just as irational as he was.I know it's a coincidence,but I also don't see how DMC4 was a Bleach rip-off.But in DmC it really looks like Bleach to me(it's also a coicidence between the names? Hollow Ichigo-Hollow Vergil),not that is that much of a big deal...

I don't quite know what the full comparison was with Bleach and DMC4, although I did find it quite ironic that Nero and Kyrie and the same voice actors as Ichigo and Orihime
I think DMC4 is just way more of a good ol' cliche' skeletal plot, really, but then...all of the DMC plots are >.<

Having the same voice actors doesn't mean a rip-off,that's what I was trying to point out.:/I don't quite know what the full comparison was with Bleach and DMC4, although I did find it quite ironic that Nero and Kyrie and the same voice actors as Ichigo and Orihime
