Wow! The NEW (Hype!) TiVo Can Do So Much! - Part 2

[Spider-Aziz]

Score went up.

No post, but just a reminder of what's gonna be the main source of inspiration for Tivo posts this weekend.

^That gif is more apt now.
Audience score is up, another failure.

Edit:

Wrong thread

Again...this is not Rick Flag..

You'd almost be right here. Except for the fact that you're not.

That Black Panther suit will look sick on screen. Its like Batman but even cooler cuz its not some homemade getup.

Wut.

Alfred, I know you're a classically trained thespian and all but you're being a tad overly dramatic there. Maybe you're just humoring your employer?

I've personally never understood the sheer look of surprised horror or the ''My God'', to be honest. I mean, are we supposed to get from this that Alfred suddenly finds Bruce scary, just because he's put on a mask and changed his demeanor? Criminals are supposed to find Batman scary, not someone who has effectively raised him since he was a child and waits on him almost 24/7.

It's the first time he saw him dressed as Batman, so it's not that strange. I believe the point of the scene was to show that the costume really works when it comes to making Bruce appear like a monster.

I think the reason why it doesn't gel with me is BOTH the look of horror and the ''My God'' - if it was one of the other, I don't think I'd have a problem with it. As I said, just seems a tad overly dramatic of Alfred, as is.

That I agree with. Scared look alone would be enough. This further continuation of that reaction does make his behavior a bit over-dramatic.

The old ham. Royal Shakespeare Company training, you see. Never leaves you.

It's an animated film with exaggerated expressions and an operatic tone. I think you guys are nitpicking a bit much. It is a heightened moment, but I love it. I don't care if it's a bit over the top, that is part of the joy.

Good gosh some of you are killjoys. Geez Louise.

That entire film had plenty of over-dramatic moments and I loved them. especially where Alfred meets The Batman.

Did someone legitimately critique the exaggerated expression of a character that exists in a medium that is partially defined by its over-expressiveness?

Never change, Hype...never change.

I did. And I guess by your logic no character reaction can be too over the top or 'overly expressive' in that medium; if they laugh they should roll around on the floor with tears streaming down their cheeks or they should drop to their knees crying ''WHY? For the love of God, WHY?!" if they spill some milk?

Haha.

I DO find Alfred's reaction to be kind of over the top in that suit up sequence, but it's not "bad". They coud have toned it down a little bit.

Look, over-the-topness is the nature of the medium. Obviously, it still needs to work within the context and tone of the show...which it did.

Why are you forcing that perspective? There is a difference between "expressive" and "over the top." You make it sound like all animation is wacky antics.

No, DaScribe is actually right. It's not just a matter of perspective. Exaggeration is one of Disney's 12 Basic Principles of Animation. Lifelike movements and expressions look dull and lifeless in animation. Exaggeration is necessary.

Okay...I still think that moment is slightly forced. I guess it's just me

Nah, it's not just you. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree with Da-Scribe and DKDetective.

Years later and the mask of the phantasm is still being discussed thoroughly, it's funny how that thread turn out though

 

[C. Lee]

So.....some people are disappointed in the ACTING of the cartoon character Alfred.....I always said.....they should have hired Barney Rubble.....that guy can act.

This place is nut's and I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. It has some great people but some batsh** whacky ones as well.

 

[ThePhantasm]

A little piece of my soul dies every time I read those posts.

 

[Duke]

Reading the above posts on Mask Of The Phantasm makes me believe a lot of people really do have A LOT of time on their hands.

One of the oddest critiques of the movie. The whole film was "over-dramatic" and rightfully so. I'm surprised the complaint over Alfred's reaction to Batman didn't escalate to complaining about the films operatic score too.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I have this reaction.

 

[ThePhantasm]

that scared me aziz

 

[Duke]

I have this reaction.

Agent Smith always brings a smile to my face.

I usually try to refrain from TIVO'ing my own stuff, but goddammit, I was ridiculously on point here...

When anyone talks about hair color in regards to casting

Seriously, you can dye it, bleach it, shave it, slap a wig on it, or leave it as is. IT DOESN'T MATTER! Oh, you mean to tell me that the promo artwork of Gal Gadot looks like she's got dark brown hair instead of WW's usual black? HOW F***ING FASCINATING!!! Now, let's debate for MONTHS to come about Chris Pine's hair! Should he be blonde? HOW blonde? Light blonde, dirty blonde, what? Why not red? Let's give him red hair! Preferably something close to that Ronald McDonald color. Why not?

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I don't care anymore. Find something else to nitpick to death.

 

[Kane52630]

*and height debates

 

[jokesonm3]

Doesn't matter how tall Henry Cavill is compared to his fellow co-stars because at the end of the day he can fly.

 

[Parker Wayne]

You guys forgot about Chest hair debates also.

Im having flashbacks to the outcry about Marissa Tomei not being grey enough. Thanks, Sawyer.

 

[Sawyer]

As much as I want to ridicule those people complaining about Marisa Tomei, it really doesn't help that she looks no older than 40.

They will do a Diane Lane and slather on the wrinkles and hair dye for sure. I just can't see an Aunt May that is so... HOT and vivacious. I really thought that they would stick with the Sally Field template. Older, sixties, but not elderly per se. Still active, still working (as a lot of people these days that age do out of necessity) and beset by bills and fretting for the future of her dear nephew. Literally the first thing I thought about when Tomei was cast was that Aunt May could pay the bills with stripping at one of the clubs in Long Island City.

When you say things like that, it just makes me think you want to f*** Alf.
