Fucking money!
Ok, Field of Dreams. Love it
Okay now,
Suicide Squad, your choice as to the best of these two. "Peace Maker"- John Cena. Or "Deadshot"- Idris Elba.
Compare and contrast the stated character traits. In terms of character depth and portrayal. As well as your perceived reasoning. For the antagonistic character sub-plot.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Which one in just your own personal opinions. Is the baddest Muphucka of the two
Edit for correction:
"Bloodsport"- Idris Elba
Peace Maker entertained me more than the vast majority of TV shows based on comic book characters. Though my top favs remain Daredevil and Punisher.
I absolutley hate how Warner Bros are "no-brains-just-milk-it" defiling and murdering my favourite childhood comic book characters just to somehow catch up with 15 years of thoroughly planned and executed vision and copy Disneys well earned success with the MCU.
But there are some bright spots inbetween and to me personaly, Peace Maker is one of them. I just wished the rest of it wasn't so dissapointingly bland.
Hate the silly apology video tho.

I understand this is a true story. I know a lot of it is CGI but it still looks cool as hell and I will see it.

From what I read, they were able to get several Cosairs and filmed actual aerial footage using the same/similar chase jet that was used for Top Gun. So, while CGI unfortunately seems inevitable these days, hopefully, they were able to keep it to a minimum.

Real Corsairs would be awesome. There are still a bunch flying, having them on screen would be amazing.

Have you seen Doom Patrol?
Thanks for your input

About 20 minutes from finishing Ron Howard's 13 Lives, about the Thai cave rescue. A good movie, but definitely biased from only one or two perspectives of the entire event. If we're to believe the movie it was only the Thai and British cave drivers who had anything to do with the rescue.
Thanks for your input
I'm sorry that I didn't answer your question. I know next to nothing about the original characters so can't say how accurately they were portrayed. But I thought both actors did a good job in the context of the movie.
Personaly I prefer the more morally confused/ambiguous characters in dark humor settings. Bloodsport seems less insane/chaotic and more of a classic good guy.. But would be nice if he made an appreance in Peacemaker.
Yes I have. I enjoy shows like that.
Btw forget to mention The Boys. Absolutely love it and if you like that and can get past the fact something is animated, I would also recommend Invincible. Prob shouldn't watch it with your kids though.

Finished it. As a movie and only a movie, it is entertaining. But very far from being realistic per the wiki site:
Tham Luang cave rescue - Wikipedia
The US Air Force/PJs had a very significant part in the rescue which was never mentioned, and multiple divers for multiple countries or also involved, which was also not mentioned.

Interesting. For whatever reason this movie just hasn't grabbed my interest. It's probably because I watched "The Rescue" - hard to beat - and, like many here (we had a thread on this somewhere), followed details of the rest of the event so closely while it occurred. Sounds like I'm not missing anything.

As a movie it is compelling. The cinematography, the story, it's a classic Ron Howard film.
As far as the veracity, it's not untrue, it's just a very small sliver of the truth.
@amlove21 had an interview on a OR podcast with one of the PJs on the mission, and given what else came out in the media, and the wiki page, we know it was much more involved.
I've not seen The Rescue, sounds like I should. But I certainly would not reprioritize your movie watching to put this at the top.
Your opinion is answer enough, all I was wanting.
I am a solid Idris Elba fan. I like what he brings to every character he plays. Wish the producers. Would have thought to create. A mini-series of the entire Dark Tower series of 7 books. I am probably going to get smashed for this.
However, in my opinion I believe the Dark Tower. Would probably sideline Game Of Thrones. Just don't let my chick find out I said that. She is a GOT fanatic. Lol
But this is a topic for another time.
