yeah that's about right. I think I'm gonna skip the other guys.
I heard it first in Homeworld
he did toss the hat away, just not at that moment
one I was thinking of is: why not just walk? Strathairn literally walked to the end _before_ they got there, so why even go through that by boat? maybe the point is to get the boat through it so they can boat the rest of the way, fine, but there's this thing called "portage" which is exactly what you do in these situations.
I think that was the writer's primary challenge: how do I make it so that they have no choice but to go through this by boat? So that is partly why the third guy was shot, so he couldn't walk. But then he was eliminated. But once it was just the two bad guys they could have just walked around the hard parts.
(I now see this has already been mentioned here a few times.)
I don't think it was explicitly stated, but I think the implication was that Wade can't swim. he was definitely drowning and panicked. there are other times where he's in deep water and moves very carefully not to let it get too deep (when anyone that can swim can just... swim). and when strapping Streep into the boat he says "I figure this puts us at the same level" because he can't swim.
ever watch a full season of survivor and then see the final players at the reunion six months later?
I just watched it and was thinking that too, but I dunno
To me it's the opposite. The running theme is that these are all to some degree bad kids, but largely because they have bad parents. Even Charlie has Uncle Joe who is not a great role-model either, always out for himself, and is who encouraged Charlie to steal the Fizzy-Lifting drinks with him. At the end, Charlie is being influenced by three adults (Wonka, Slugworth, Uncle Joe) all at once to encourage him to betray Wonka, but he makes an *independent* decision not to. He is free from the influence of bad adults and makes a conscious choice to do the right thing despite all the encouragement to do the wrong thing.
Was she considered terrible? She disqualified herself by turning into a blueberry when she was warned not to. (actually after hearing her Oompa-Loompa song, I think her issue might have been "bad manners". She interrupted people a lot, she was picking her nose, eating gum all the time is I guess maybe bad manners, she talked loudly, she grabbed the gum out of Wonka's hand. I think those are the only examples I can think of. the Oompa-Loompa song says "Given good manners you will go far.")
Augustus disqualified himself by falling into the chocolate river and getting sucked into the tube to the fudge room. Augustus is a bit more iffy since a) Wonka said they could eat anything and didn't say the river was an exception, and b) Wonka almost but not quite pushes Augustus into the river. You could say maybe it was Augustus's inability to stop drinking the river while being told not to that was the problem, leading to his falling in. He was definitely set up for it though, but then so were the others (here's some super-gum miss gum addict but don't eat it, here's some TV-magic mr TV addict but don't try it, etc.)
One explanation could be, as OP mentioned, that Slugworth/Wilkinson is planting the tickets. He's not there because the tickets are found; the tickets are found because he's there.
the problem I had was they chose to go there *first* for no real reason. if you have a choice to go to three different places, and one of them has a catch that you lose insane amounts of time (potentially centuries, millenia, or worse if they get stuck long enough), you don't go there *first*, you go there *last*.
it's a little silly, but they were able to communicate only because of their pre-established bond. in that situation, normal communication was impossible, but their "love"/bond/relationship enabled them to communicate in spite of the difficulties.

the given narrative reason is that Hulk is tired of being used by Banner whenever he feels like it as a tool of some kind.
when I saw it I thought that Hulk knew something about the future and knew he needed to save himself for later or something; or maybe that it had something to do with Loki being able to have save himself somehow (hiding in Hulk's shapeshift but that makes no sense.)
but I think that the real reason is that the writers try to change up their characters each movie as much as they can. You can see this a lot with Thor, always having a new style each movie. Hulk especially has had all kinds of different versions to keep him interesting:
- comes out when Banner gets angry (Pre avengers?)
- Banner is "always angry" and can summon Hulk on demand (Avengers 1)
- can't remember Age of Ultron
- Thor: Ragnarok: Hulk is in control and there's little to no Banner
- Infinity War: Banner is in control and there's little to no Hulk (Hulk refuses to emerge)
- Endgame: Banner is in Hulk form with no Hulk personality
another issue is how they had a choice between three different planets, and they *know* that one of those planets has a time dilation issue, where if they screw up the right way they could lose decades, centuries, or even millenia, but *that's* the planet they visit first... with that time dilation problem, that planet should be the absolute last resort. the writer wanted to force the "oh my god we've lost 15 years" moment in there without making it make proper sense. (as soon as I heard the title of this movie for the first time, I assumed it would have something to do with time dilation, but it ended up forced rather than being properly explored.)
(another issue with the movie is how it's named *Interstellar*, when there is not actually interstellar travel here; they actually travel intergalactically through a wormhole.)
the scene had been shown before, but always in black and white. this time, it stayed and turned into color, showing that it finally came true.
evasive procedure? like jumping out of the way? 8)
He may have seen them before and only now felt confident enough about it in D-FENS's presence to say something about it. (remember he erroneously believes that D-FENS has similar beliefs as him.) Also, I think the idea was that they were standing out by looking in his shop for outfits, and judging the outfits for appearance, the implication being they would use them for sex role-play or something similar. A normal customer would be more interested in function, not appearance.
