Well I mean, that's literally the only similarity and even then, the similarity has its differences there. And he wasn't exactly unstoppable, series of gunshots to the chest was enough to put him down temporarily. Though the second time he bounced back like a cheeky prat.
There was actually an antagonists of Wolverine's that was the same idea, except it was more external and of Adamantium. Cyber.
Brian did have a bad temper... but that was when he was revealed as a villain after he "betrays" Katia. Even then, he didn't seem to be so angry all the time, just hell bent on proving himself against 47. He was actually pretty patient and conniving if you ask me?
I have to agree in respect to his being lackluster. I liked the performance by Zachary but the character itself leaves much to be desired. And I think his vendetta against 47 probably had something to do with the fact that his organization was trying to achieve something on par with Agents, so that probably stems from that more than just 47. 47's reputation though definitely comes into play.
And yes, that was funny. I liked the humanistic perspective we're gradually given of 47 as the movie continues on and how suddenly we're given what 47 literally -- seemingly anyway -- was at the beginning. Hello brother!

Maybe the Syndicate gave him an upgrade to make him less susceptible to bullets after 47 shot him? I dunno. The fact that he goes from being so patient and conniving in the first act to being a hammy, raging antagonist in the latter acts so quickly and without any kind of transition counts as another reason why he isn't very good. I agree with you on Quinto's performance. He was clearly doing his best with the script. Also, I don't know if this is right, but when Brian shoots his gun right next to the soldiers as his cunning plan to get in the embassy, wouldn't they have just shot him on the spot? I also can't be the only one who tried 47's method of sleeping instantly after watching the film, can I?  ... It didn't work for me. |

Probably. Or he was done being a facetious little shit. And Yeah, I think that was whenever he was in the immediate vicinity of 47. Outside of that though, he was more or less not too angry? Yeah I guess. It depends on the soldiers stationed there though. It works... if you pull like an all nighter  |

While he did get very angry when interrogating Katia's papa even though 47 wasn't in the room, the scientist was insulting Brian by calling him worse than 47, so I guess you're right that 47 is Brian's berserk trigger.

Have any of you seen Hell's Club? nerdist.com/hells-club-is-the-ultimate-movie-mashup-nightclub/It's basically a short film set in a club where fictional film characters hang out, with scenes ripped from a multitude of movies and strung together to form a cohesive narrative. Its especially strange seeing characters portrayed by the same actors interacting. It's quite well done, even if the idea has already pretty much been done by Telltale Games years ago (though Poker Night at the Inventory has no Beegees songs playing in the background). |

The damn Last Airbender film actually was successful even if it was by the bare min standards in Hollywood. Its funny some of the films people hate still make money and people wonder why Hollywood continues to make them or horrible remakes. Do not go and see them. Its simple. It was made for 150 million and made 319 million. That's not a failure folks. It means there had to be people out there that liked it and spread word of mouth or some shit. Night garbage has not made a great film since Signs or Unbreakable. All his films fail and the guy still gets jobs in Hollywood. Good lord...

I think people wanted to see it because they were morbidly curious. I mean, there couldn't have been that many people that thought it was good, right? It's like two girls and one cup; just because millions of people have seen it, doesn't mean anyone thought it was good. Of course, this isn't accounting for the wicked 2 percent that knew in advance lol.

Hollywood Studios do not see it that way. If the film financially is successful that means there are people out there that liked it despite the bad reviews and all of that in there eyes.

Financial success, sure. No debate there. But I highly doubt more than 10-20 percent of the people who went to the movies actually enjoyed that film. Certainly, the minority would be composed of small children, the developmentally delayed, and people who never watched the show.

See, under most circumstances I would just write this off as the director blowing smoke, like Tommey Wasseu (The Room) saying he wants to direct Fantastic 4 2 for Fox. However, M.Night is like my own personal Micheal Bay. He keeps getting work and this past year has made himself more powerful... And then there's the tiny detail that The Last Airbender aired on SyFy a few months back...making me really question if they could get away with that why couldn't they get a sequel as "worse" productions have gotten more... So I'm going to keep searching for news until I get the "NO IT'S NOT HAPPENING" from someone else. And I was calling this out YEARS ago when I saw Paramount did not say no to making sequels. I'll take some comfort knowing it's not happening yet. |

I'm not too bothered by this, but I haven't seen the movie and only 8 episodes of the show. Once I finish it, I might try to watch the movie and see if it deserves the hate. My brother has it, I'm pretty sure, and my mom liked it. But she's never watched the cartoon..
But I now hate you, Shockwave. -.- I looked up DB: Evolution after reading this, to see how well it did financially. Only like, 9 mil here. But in China, it did pretty well. Well enough, in fact, that there is going to be a DB: Evolution 2 in 2016, according to a Youtube video(can't link on Vita, so you'll just have to search for it). For the love of all that is good, why?
