So butting in line and being a child molester according to the main character...
... are on the exact same level of offensiveness, why??!!
share... are on the exact same level of offensiveness, why??!!
shareI kind of got the feeling (the controversial scene with Libby can also be a part of this) that the whole movie was meant to be a satirical comment on various kinds of double standards in life and in humanity as well as the various types of, however politically incorrect, individual perception and moral relativism certain individuals may exhibit and that also, in addition to people's feelings, we also have rules and regulations in place in fact and therefore some may perceive annoying bits of rule breaking and violent damages to someone to be on similar levels of wrongness, even if they are not.
shareAnd the fact that despite her undeniably wrong and hurtful deed against him, when, SPOILERS ALERT, Libby gets killed, he actually cries and gets incredibly sad and vengeful following her death, and is even shown grieving and mourning her loss at the very end, how did that also make you feel?
sharewhy? To show what a deranged psycho he was. Rules are rules and the Crimson Bolt doesn't discriminate! Shut up Crime! The movie was pretty obviously making a statement that a person would have to be pretty messed up in the head to become a superhero crime fighter and it showed what lengths one would need to take in order to do so. Often needing to cross a line, just to survive.
shareYeah but...
Butting in line and molesting children, even for a psychopath, on a remotely similar level? Has it also not occurred to him why in one case, if proven, the legal sentence is much stronger?
it's been a long time. my memory of super is really fuzzy. i know i loved it.
but my takeaway from that, as i recall, was not that the movie or james gunn thought they were the same. it was what ngmi said - that this guy had lost any sense of judgement, including sorting out the difference between trifling indignities and serious things.
He’s crazy.
shareFrank have a lot of insecurities and unresolved issues he's in the edge of a pshychotic explosion the allucination he have in his house with those tentacles opening his skull and given him some kind of divine mission is a good example of that he feel low and weak, is not about butt in line is about him and how he feels, the guy just butt in line and make fun of Frank dissmissing him completely like he was nothing ¿that wouldn't make you feel angry and maybe even hate? now iamgine someone like Frank who have this beutiful wife and feel for the first time life is good enjoy happyness and end up losing her and some asshole and his asshole wife butt in line and treat you like nothing i dont condone Frank actions but i understand him
Seriously this movie is way more brilliant of what people give it credit for those character are very interesting and deep the movie choose a real regular Joe an Incel as a protagonist not a hadsome guy playing an insecure rejected nerd like Aaron Taylor Johnson or Andrew Garfield who only have to believe in himself and his life is resolved in the end he got the girl here even when Frank "win" he dont get the girl the girl leave him doesnt matter the sacrifice he made or how much he love her she cant love him back the end is so sad but also realistic in his own way this movie is really brave and take a lot of risk is also a critic about the hero concept wich can work very well in fiction but in reality things are not so black and white if you pay attention to every attemp of Frank to make a diference he really dont change things and most case even create more damage of what he want to prevent, the kid still leave in the street get some money but the next day he for sure is going to be selling himself as nothing ahve happen, the lady in the wheel chair get a worse injury, and everything is present in a cartonish way with text like in the Batman TV show is like why are seing all this madness from Frank perspective
Butting in line is not even ILLEGAL for what I know or even too immoral either. Inconvenient, yes, showing lack of manners, true, but certainly not on the level of the aforementioned other issue even near.
Oh and also, if he doesn't discriminate and treat all crime equally.
Why does he forgive Libby so easily for sexually assaulting him, even though it DID make him feel bad afterwards even going so far as to vomit and feel hurt and upset afterwards? And why does he not only feel sad and take vengeance on her when she gets killed but even respectfully visits her funeral at the end and cries himself?
If butting in line alone is what he considers so serious?
why do you keep replying to yourself? Are you Frank Darbo?
shareWho says I am? And I for one may have my own either opinion on the issue OR some insight into related matter as well as the emphasis on the fact that character's "logic" doesn't make much sense.
Also, I bet on numerous occasions in his life he actually DID butt in line but has he ever criticised himself for IT?
