Why does every movie nowadays have quippy dialogue like Marvel?
Why does every character have to talk like Iron man or Spiderman. It's been 10 years since avengers, 10 years of God awful non stop jokes, in every action movie.
Why does every movie nowadays have quippy dialogue like Marvel?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the success of the MCU style has made the action movie the new comedy. That’s why we don’t see as many standalone comedy blockbusters, and why every action adventure needs quirky/awkward/quippy moments. The fad right now is to make them one and the same.
Just copy Marvel and You are good to go
>Why does every movie nowadays have quippy dialogue like Marvel?
Taken straight from the book. Blame the author.
Comedy has to come organically from the characters, but since there's nothing inherently funny about Marvel characters they had to literally inject jokes out of context and force them in. Bullet Train felt like that too, Lemon's train jokes are so overused that by the time you figure out what they mean you don't even give a shit. And they actually got Brad to say the tired ass "bag of dicks" Louis CK line that was kind of funny 15 years ago. I like that they put $80m into a pseudo original dark comedy thriller, but nu-writer fags just aren't funny.

Thomas the Tank Engine jokes were in the book too.
that's what sells
Remember when the quippy-ness was just a trait of Tony Stark? I guess it was just a winning formula.
It's not necessarily that. It's the rapid fire nature of the jokes. The final third seems like it was written by a completely different team, every line was like a joke or something.
And I'm sure they were set up much better in the book too. The movie assumes for 3/4 of the runtime that we know all the references to some ancient shitty kids show. No one in my theater was laughing.
Capitalism and studio exec stupidity. They think they can just take stuff from other successful movies blindly to make their movie a great success.
Because the writing rooms are full of women, and women don't understand humor among other things.
>in every action movie.
I don't remember quippy dialogue in John Wick or Accountant, for example
The silencer fight in public is comedy.
Thats what low iq/low attention span people like, marvel made most people even more low iq with even less attention span. There is no going back and thats all there is until the end of time. Dont like it? Stop watching movies.
It's a comedy movie more than it is an action movie, the action scenes last a minute or two each until the climax.
MST3K proved that even the worst movie is not only tolerable, but enjoyable, if there are jokes every so often.
Modern movies seem like they should have brief intermissions every 10 minutes so the audience can joke and laugh with their friends about how terrible what they just saw was.
I saw this in a full theater and during Aaron Taylor-Johnson and the black guy's dumbass Thomas the Tank Engine riffing scene you could hear a fucking pin drop it was so quiet.
Same. Brad had a couple funny moments but 99% of the jokes bombed hard at my kinoplex.
>paying attention to other people when watching films in cinema
You're neurotic or on the hit list of the rival gang?
Pretty obvious when the movie is begging for a laugh and the audience is stone silent. I think the biggest laugh at my theater might’ve been the Channing Tatum reveal. Just his face. Then when his hacky faggot bit was revealed the laughs died off again.
When there's a three-minute comedic scene and the audience is quiet as churchmice it's very noticeable.
This movie felt nothing like a marvel movie. I think this is a classic case of you can only relate things to what you know. You, being a retarded zoomer thats only seen marvel and post mcu movies, can only compare it to that.
That scene felt like exactly how not to build up a joke/plot point. Instead of having multiple short scenes of the black guy bringing up a single Thomas the Tank Engine character in reference to someone and Aaron Taylor-Johnson questioning about it to explain it to the audience they just had this long ass scene that sucked all of the air out of the room. Didn't help it was right at the start as well so it felt like the film awkward stopped for what felt like nothing until a good portion of the film later with the diesel sticker on the girl.
I agree. Bullet Train felt more like homage to zany, low-budget live action adaptations of manga that Japan churns out every month.
Movie was pretty good honestly. I liked that each character actually had personality for the most part and everything leading up to the ending actually had me pretty invested.
Ending was a little poorly executed, (namely an after-credits scene that should have just been in the movie) but other than that a very enjoyable film. 8/10
It was super easy to understand the meaning from the first Lemon scene onwards, if you didn't get that you might have brain damage. Hell he repeatedly explains it directly.
>All comedy is quips
