I agree that it's not really plot holes, a character behaving in a way that might not be reasonable is another matter than a plot hole, but whatever...
I kind of took for granted that voting on wether or not to end it all was only an option between games, never during a game. But then again there was that moment in the final game when he wanted to put it to a vote again and they allowed it, but at that moment they were already about to kill the loser of the game so it's arguable if that should really count as being during the game.
I also think he had some suspicions regarding the shapes in the sugar game, that his friend might have known what the game was and that the umbrella was a bad choice. I don't recall exactly but I think there was a moment when it was implied he knew or at least suspected. So in that case he isn't really going from 0 to 100.
Also, you're forgetting that 14 contestants (I think 14) decided not to come back so your numbers of people killed aren't quite right.
Of course, whenever I decide to watch something it's based on wether or not watching it will give me any originality points. Then after watching it I never form an opinion of it before I've figured out which opinion will give me the most originality points. I'm kind of over enjoying stuff, I just want to increase my originality points.
They're not pussies, they're evil. Since they've managed to become powerful enough to basically destroy all of Europe and North America (yes, I know Democrats are specific to America, but you know) with politics that are overtly unattractive to pretty much everyone who isn't completely deranged they really can't be pussies. They have the weak hand, as you would say in poker talk, and they've still been dominant for several decades. Their conservative opponents are the pussies, since they have the strong hand and they're being completely dominated.
Just imagine the hilarity if Biden is taken to court but gets away with it because his lawyer successfully argues that Biden is senile and therefore not accountable.
Biden is senile, can't be held accountable. He's almost even too senile to be president.
After his confrontation with Emil he went to a police computer to access files on Emil, Clarence and the other guys who murdered him. That would mean he didn't have some directory of files on criminals installed. Maybe you could argue he should have had and that the makers of the movie should have been able to foresee the possibility of storing lots of data on much smaller devices that far into the future. Since he could record and store the footage of everything (?) he experienced it would make sense for him to also have the storage capacity for files on violent criminals.
Well, if you aim to incapacitate someone with as little risk as possible of killing them a dick shot is better than a leg shot since there's that large artery thing in the leg. As for the annoyance and inconvenience of having your dick shot off, Murphy would have been able to relate but at that time the Murphy part of him was probably mostly dormant since he had just been brought back and it's not until later more of Murphy comes back. For a man to prefer a leg shot over a dick shot is pretty natural even though the risk of death is higher with the leg shot (same for a woman I guess), for a machine to have that same preference though, someone would probably have to add that to it's programming. I don't think Morton and the others cared enough about the genitals of criminals to add a "Try to avoid shooting the dicks of criminals" feature to the programming. For a machine that prefers to incapacitate it's targets and has no sentimentality about genitals, a dick shot might just be considered one of the best possible shots.
Also, the first thing he shoots (discounting the target practice at the shooting range) after becoming RoboCop is a guy's dick and the last thing he shoots right before the movie ends is a guy named Dick, you just can't argue with the brilliance of that.
Rather large eyes and seemingly no eye brows. Less eyes, more brows.
It's when he wakes up after having been made into RoboCop we hear the line about erasing his memory. Morton says this and that about the arm and some other stuff, and then he says something like "Can he understand me?" and some other guy says that it doesn't matter because they're going to erase his memory. I think what he refers to is just that they'll erase his memory of the moment when he wakes up and sees and hears them standing around talking about that stuff, and then having their little party to celebrate the success of their creation.
It makes sense (I guess) that they'd be able to erase his memory of anything that occurs after he's been turned into RoboCop, since you know, computer parts and all that. Being able to erase his memories from before he became RoboCop, however, I don't know. Obviously it's science fiction so who's to say what they can or can't do but being able to build robots and cyborgs still feels like another matter than being able to erase memories from a human mind the way you erase files from a computer. It's never really indicated in the movie that technology like that is around.
I don't really think they have any way to control what he remembers or doesn't remember from before being killed and brought back to life (kind of) and probably it's because the head shot, oxygen deprivation and the other dying stuff partially killed his brain he is only able to remember parts of the life he had before dying and becoming RoboCop.
The evil nastiness of the left has been even worse than usual for the last years, they're rioting, killing people, setting stuff on fire, causing damages in the billions and so on. More and more members of the sane majority are going to feel that they've had enough and that's going to lead to situations where the two sides clash and things become violent, 99% (at least) of the time the leftists will initiate the violence and when they do they want it to be illegal for the sane people they attack to defend themselves. It really is that simple and it really is that evil.
When Roz meets the big nosed parents of the guy who impregnated her. Genuinely awful, "Everyone knows you're the nosy one!", that's most of the episode, bad puns where someone says something that sounds like nose, over and over and over and it isn't even the last bit funny the first time. If I owned the rights to the show and a network wanted to air it I'd refuse to sell them the rights to air that episode, because it's an abomination and a disgrace to the entire show, I would see it as an act of kindness to all of mankind and not care that I made slightly less money.
Other than that episode every episode of the show is watchable, even though there are obviously worse and better among them as well, but that damn episode... Whatever is the second to worst episode (of the top of my head, maybe the one where they go a cabin and dream stuff that upsets them) is still 1000 times better.
I have figured out that Baldwin is a hypocrite (through he's hardly alone in that) because if the scene they were filmning had been a suicide scene that required him to point the gun at himself I'm pretty sure he would have been very careful to personally inspect the gun and make sure it was a prop or not loaded. No way he would have thought "Oh well, there's several levels of safety measures the gun has to pass through before it reaches me, gun safety is someone else's job, not my responsibility."
No, he would have personally inspected the gun in that scenario, since it would have been his own life that was at risk, but clearly he cared a lot less when he was pointing the gun away from himself, putting the lives of others at risk. If you're unwilling to subject yourself to a certain risk, you're a hypocrite if you're willing to subject others to that same risk.
It was mostly okay, the whole thing with "My wife! My wife! My sacred wife! I can't live without my precious wife!" was a bit ridiculous but there are people who are like that in reality.
The thing that was a little much was the dialogue between Mike and Werner under the stars with Werner going on like he was only in a little bit of trouble and they were just gonna give him a slap on the wrist, maybe actually let him see the precious wife and then let him get back to work like nothing happened. It felt like they were really shoving it down the viewer's throat, the contrast between Werner's naivity and the seriousness of the people he had angered. Probably they thought if Werner came across as childishly naive it would feel extra awful when Mike killed him, but eh, like others said, conthrived.
He was sympathetic enough to make the viewer understand how bad Mike felt about killing him without that.
When he's working in the cell phone store and refers a client to Hamlin, Hamlin, McGill and the guy asks "McGill, isn't that you?" and instead of saying his brother founded the firm Jimmy says it's just a coincidence, the melody from The winner takes it all is playing in the background.
The worst one was Hank, based on Marie saying she wasn't gonna let him end up in a wheel chair at 43, he is supposed to be 37 or 38 when he appears in season five of BCS. Not entirely believable.
When watching the show I've been thinking that it's Mike's actions during the show much more than Jimmy's that basically enable Breaking Bad, more than any other it's when he decides to get Tuco sent to prison instead of killing him like Ignacio wants. I assume it's during that prison time Tuco meets Skinny Pete and he is the one who introduces Jesse and Walter to Tuco in Breaking Bad.
Mike getting Tuco sent to prison leads to Hector knowing about Mike, making threats against his family so Mike will comply, that leads to Mike sabotaging Salamanca's business, that leads to Gus noticing Mike. If Mike hadn't gotten in contact with Gus then Jimmy (or Saul as he calls himself by then) wouldn't be able to help Walter and Jesse make contact with Gus which would mean the deal that leads to them getting $480 000 each would never happen, and then Jesse and Jane wouldn't blackmail Walter to get him to give Jesse his half of the money and they wouldn't celebrate getting the money by getting so high that Jane chokes on her vomit and dies, her father wouldn't break down and cause the planes to collide.
It's also because of Tuco Walter meets Hector and without him he probably wouldn't be able to kill Gus which leads to his entire organisation crumbling, which among other things leads to all the money Mike had made being seized by the authorities. Without working for Gus he wouldn't have made as much money of course but with some help from Saul he probably could launder the money he had made and actually get it to his granddaughter.
Then of course Walter ends up killing Mike as well.
So Mike, this super duper hard man, chosing a softer approach at one particular moment is what sets the stage for a lot of death, literally hundreds of innocent people dead, as well as his own death without his granddaughter getting a single cent of the money he worked so hard to make for her. Bummer.
Shouldn't have gone for a half measure.
The most entertaining one was when they were all there to talk about Walter not wanting chemo and Skylar wanting him to get it, with the talking pillow and all that, and Skylar said she wanted everyone to feel free to say whatever they wanted.
Then when Marie did just that, reasoning that chemo is horribly painful and if he doesn't want it it's understandable so everyone should respect his choice, Skylar went ballistic and it's so obvious she took for granted everyone was going to completely agree with her and that was the only reason she ever said anything about wanting everyone to feel free to say whatever they wanted. If someone didn't agree with her, she really didn't want them to feel free to say anything at all. The hypocritical nature of the woman amusingly exposed.
