I never really considered having the ability to fly with telekinesis, but I guess it makes sense you could lift yourself if you could lift other things.
Definitely my power of choice if I had to choose one.
I never really considered having the ability to fly with telekinesis...
I mean, isn’t that how Jean Grey can fly?
I liked Chronicle a lot
isn't that the question of the day
But how did Magneto fly?
Did he just use his magnet powers to life his metal helmet with his chin strapped in??
TK really is top tier. Magneto's power is second only to reality warping as far as usefulness and coolness goes. Man, now I see why the X-Men caught on so much.
>good costumes
>great powers
>hawt babes
Me too. It's a Post-10s film, but has a 00s feel. It's obviously similar to Cloverfield too.
Dane Dehaan was relentlessly handsome.
take biology, idiot. iron is in blood
pretty sure he was using earth's electromagnetism rather than his blood iron
If he were manipulating the iron in his body, he'd just strip all his body of red blood cells and die of oxygen deprivation, never once lifting a foot off the ground.
He taped metal plates to his legs and butt
>a sequel to Chronicle was in active development but was shelved when Disney bought Fox
worst timeline
It was shelved long before that. Landis wanted to make a sequel following Matt who returned to the states after hearing word of a other person who gained powers from the alien force thing. Only this time instead of being "turned" into a villian like Andrew, this person was inherently evil and was to be I guess the first "supervillian" that Matt must face off against. Probably would have went all dbz on us.
However, Fox didn't want that. They no joke told him they dont want a direct sequel, but rather "the same premise but with different kids. The origin stories sell. Landis disagreed with this and they scrapped the project all together, not giving him any leeway at all with it.
Good. The worst part of the movie was the end when they go all capeshit. The least interesting character lived in the end, no one wanted to see more of that faggot.
I'd probably literally be this guy if I ended up getting superpowers.
Only I wouldn't chimp-out and get myself killed.
In the comics his suit was chain mail.
Doesn't he push himself away from iron in the ground?
He was a prick for killing the black kid.
FUCK YOU CLOUD
It was an accident.
That sounds terrible, atleast new kids could be a different take on this premise but the worst actor, and least interesting of the trio just fighting a random villain sounds lame.
I always assumed his suit had iron weaved into it. In the comics it clearly does, to the point I think his waistband has clearly visible rivets on it.
Take physics idiot, suspended particles and fluids are not stationary
>gestures with right hand
>cloud gesture is of the right hand
Wouldve been more interesting in the original if Dane had actually become popular due to his abilities and his chad friend was the one who went evil because the dynamic of their friendship and his role as alpha of their group was threatened.
Instead the evil looking kid goes evil
I dont disagree. Im just telling you why there was no chronicle 2.
>Flight
>indestructable
>Move everything with your mind, even operate machinery
>Essentially super strength
Is this the best super power given the choice? Who knew telekinesis could be so versatile
There's a line from this movie where one of them says
"You're gonna wanna get this on camera..."
and for some reason that phrase has stuck within my friend group ever since this movie came out. We'll say "you're gonna wanna get this on camera" and then do something that is not worthy of being on camera at all, like jumping jacks or 1 single pushup
>Who knew telekinesis could be so versatile
...Everyone who read X-Men as a kid ? Jean Grey is fucking broken user. And she's still nothing compared to Magneto. And he's nothing compared to Reality Warpers like Legion.
I think they explain some bullshit about riding the magnetic waves of the earth
Probably wears shoes/boots with a metal shank in them.
what about Phoenix Jean-Grey? I thought Nightcrawlers could be cool as well telporting anywhere you've been seems pretty OP as well with that being the only limitation
My perfect power would be to stop time. You could do practically anything you wanted. Want money? Stop time and go to a bank and grab some. Want item from a store? Stop time and grab it and walk out. Want to travel? Stop time hop on a plane or boat.
I’d also wish that the power would put in motion any living thing I touch when I stop time so I could put in motion friends and stuff and we could dick around. The power would also put in motion things I touch so if I wanted to drive a car I’d just hop in and drive it no problem.
Phoenix Jean is pretty broken as well, considering that she's a host for a Cosmic Power. Nightcrawler's okay, but he's got limits in his jumps. The guy from "Jumper" is more OP. The X-Verse has some insane Power Levels user. Cyclops is practically a living nuke and Colossus' little sister is a Hell Lord who's Nightcralwer on steroids, and also carries a FF Sword. There are people who manipulate time like Tempus, tons of Telepaths, and even more Reality Warpers.
That also sounds like a based power. Alright, so so far on our superhero team we have a telekinetic hero, a time manipulating hero, what else?
What kind of high school party has a full on rave that doesnt get shut down by police? Who paid for all that shit? And why was the faggot out crying by a tree because he got pushed? That party was amazing and he was crying by a tree.
I guess him finding the alien shit was worth it though. Kinda.
>I’d also wish that the power would put in motion any living thing I touch when I stop time so I could put in motion friends and stuff and we could dick around.
But then you can't dick around with people or rape them because as soon as you touch them they're back into normal time.
sorry, paco. your life is dirt
how original of you.
Technopaths are always cool.
>stop time
>all atoms stop moving
>everything freezes to absolute 0 temperature
>you freeze to death and die
Sounds like a shitty power to me.
>Yes, it was the black guy this time
Me too. It's a lot better than it is given credit for.
It would only be if I touch them and stop time. If I stop time without touching them and then touch them they would remain frozen.
You must be fun at parties
That may be true but you didnt do anything like that. Shut the fuck up
>You must be fun at parties
People dont talk about gay superpowers at parties i go to
I wanna fly so bad bros
That’s depressing. Do you go to chess parties and debate club parties? I’ve never been to a party that didn’t have people talking about fun and stupid topics. I guess you aren’t fun at parties, it’s just the parties you go to aren’t fun
Electricity shits on both tk and magnetism.
Fuck I totally forgot this movie. Trying to remember who I saw it with
cute
Charm humanoid is the strongest power in the world
Underrated
oh look it's another max landis tries to get peoplet talking about max landis movies thread
>not all heroes are super
so he's a hero, but he doesn't have superpowers? lol
Based and truthpilled. Maybe that user went to highschool in a stereotypical flyover state movie in the 70s
>best power
TELEPATHY BUT SUPER STRONG LIKE CONSTANT CEREBRO POTENTIAL STRONG FUCK TELEKINIGGERS
>coolest power
Technomancer that moves around with floating skatelike movement and both horizontal and vertical evasion movements by miniature rocket blasts
FUCK TELEKINIGGERS
FUCK REALITY GAYDERS
AND FUCK YOU
>I guess it makes sense you could lift yourself if you could lift other things
Does it though? If you were strong enough to lift your own bodyweight, you wouldn't be able to fly by just grabbing your hair.
You have to be 18 to post here
>The worst part of the movie was the end when they go all capeshit.
This movie was a good Akira adaptation, like Man of Steel was good DBZ kino. We have to take decent adaptations/rip offs where we can get 'em.
>Grab feet
>lift up
>flip yourself
>midflip, grab feet and flip again
>begin to ascend into the air
>???
>profit
Now you’re just coping
I never could make it all the way through Akira. Shit hardly made sense to me. Is it about a biker or a telekinetic kid? What?
Like everything from Japan, it's influenced by the atomic bomb. But the short version is an outcast kid gets psychic powers and fucks up the government when they basicaly wage war on him.
Sounds pretty cool. I guess I need to suck it up and sit through it.
Why is Japan so assblasted about the bomb, yet they worship America? Weird country.
Fuck i honestly probably would have enjoyed either of those. Chronicle was so enjoyable to me as a young kid and it still holds up. Probably one of the few good found footage movies as well.
