Bloodsport: The Greatest Nanotech Ever (Why He’s Great)

[@DonniedrakoE]

I think what makes Bloodsports nanotech also good is that in the comics the character can teleport everything he wants to his hands. So the movie putting a more realistic spin on things while also having the audience see every bit of the tech unfold is great. Even better that we know it's limited and accented by a practical suit.

[@CrazyManwich]

It could have still been teleported as it just comes from a hidden storage site and still has a limit. However the nanotechnology provides a better visual so I like the change. I also like how he combines smaller weapons to make larger ones.

[@danielotero9038]

Well, not realistic, more like visually appealing

@unionvsvegeta If you know firearm, you will understand that a gun that can transform itself into 10 other classes of small-arm is MEGA overpowered. He could be shooting a pistol then whips out another nanotech extension and now he has a MANPAD.

[@sirgentlebread7302]

imo the tele weapons is significantly more unique then nano tech, and it would give way to using physical props over cg I like the tech, but I want him to evolve to mirror his comic counterpart

[@jlogan2228]

I always liked the tech from ultraviolet most. They had these devices they could wear that were like basically pocket dimensions so they could carry whole arsenals inside wristwatches and the weapons also "unfold" or like if she needed to reload it would show bullets coming out of the devices feeding into her guns

[@joshmargolis1424]

The biggest reason I loved his nano tech was that it wasnt infinite and during that last fight, just like with Tony vs Thanos, he is in a losing battle against his resources

[@gigaatom]

Honestly when Tony was fighting thanos and had to reassign the pieces of his armour because he was running out was the only time it actually felt cool

[@furionmax7824]

I love the concept of the nano weapons. Even more so bc every single one of them were locked and loaded. But bc I'm a simple guy I found it wasteful that he kept ditching his weapons whenever they ran out of ammo instead of just reloading. Dudes got fourteen weapons strapped to him. He could've easily just had a bunch of nano bullet magazines loaded on top of all that. But that's just me.

[@simj202]

@@furionmax7824 From a cinematic standpoint, it is possible that Gunn didn't want to show him reloading with nanotech because there was no way to make it look cool and physical, like one would easily be able to with real guns. From an in-universe standpoint, it's probably just because he has no space or time to reload properly. If I'm remembering right, he doesn't just ditch them, too. They get knocked out of his hands most of the time, I think?

[@furionmax7824]

@@simj202 reloading due to time is very understandable especially when there's no cover and you got starfish alien face huggers attacking you. A miniscule pause barely a second long can mean death in a fight. But like I said. I'm a simple guy. I like using the same weapon in my loot and shoot games. To me its better to have one weapon with a shit ton of magazines than multiple weapons with one magazine each. But then again it ain't practical if that weapon is taken, lost or destroyed. In bloodsports case he has a weapon for every scenario. And that's why he's the best at what he does.

[@Zenn_Chan]

@@simj202 it makes sense given that he's meant to be an assassin. He's not supposed to be fighting in a war-like situation like they were dropped into, so it makes sense his ammo eventually runs out.

[@rhetiq9989]

I just love how his nanotech feels more grounded and somewhat more comprehensible than most nanotech depictions in movies these days. You see them condensed in separate small pieces that are planted all across his body and when they're activated you know where they're coming from, they don't just spawn from out of the blue. The textures also look more mechanical instead of the usual liquid/holographic mesh we see with other heroes, it feels like a first gen nanotech and I think that's really cool

[@solidghost1337]

I wouldn't even call this nanotech, it's more like microtech. His weapons are all just very collapsible which allows him to carry more but that's...not what nanotech is.

[@saucevc8353]

It also helps that these pieces are not infinitely reusable. He has to manually break them back down or they get knocked away from his suit. So he has to be careful when and how he uses his arsenal.

[@TheMEGANON]

Can't help myself, but it hurts when I start to think of how the ammunition is made.

It's tragic how the reputation of Suicide Squad tainted The Suicide Squad. I've had to fight (figuratively) with people to give it a chance because the first one was so bad.

[@FullFatVideos]

Yeah it’s such a shame it didn’t do well

[@montenegroafro4454]

I didn’t even watch the movie when it came out due to all the bad reviews at the time, but soundtrack music was pretty dope tho. Also another complaint i had from the first movie was how they race-swapped Deadshot’s character. Now i used to watch Arrow and the actor who played Deadshot was fucking spot on i thought they were gonna cast him but no they gave it to will smith. Now I love Will Smith as an actor and genuinely kind person (most of the time), but I personally felt he should’ve played Black Spider like the animated Suicide Squad:Arkham Assault movie. The way he acted as Deadshot felt more in tune to Black Spider, a bit cocky/show-off, want to prove he’s better than everyone else imo.

[@cakemanLHK]

Relating to the point about rules, I feel a very significant aspect that makes Bloodsport's nanotech so much better than that of other heroes is that only his very specific gadgets are nanotech, rather than the entire suit itself.

[@ronald8664]

[@Phodie56]

I love that when he makes the big gun, you realize that he's at the end of the line. Nothing could be bigger, nothing a worse threat--his tech is either a weapon OR armor. If he uses it for offense, he becomes extremely vulnerable, something we see moments later when he is running out of nanites. Also watching him then reach around in desperation to find any last amount of tech...but there's none left, you feel that moment so hard. His best weapon wasn't enough, and that gambit cost him, very nearly, his life. He ends up without offense or defense left, and he just tackles the first person he can to try and go down without giving up. PERFECTO!!!

[@TheforeverPigeonKing]

The no your daughter is 16, is one of the best insults/threats. Not only is it confirming that yes she is sending his daughter to prison, but getting a dig in at how distant and bad of a father he is. It’s just perfect, an it makes Waller a perfect monster

[@FullFatVideos]

Yeah the dialogue is great

[@TKOgamer]

I feel that the nanotech works, because its feels analog. All the weapons he uses are all just tightly packed and mostly have to be assembled. He also has to reach out and draw them like any other gun. They also aren't full body armor that the characters turn on at any time. I feel this also worked very will with Iron mans glove during civil war and the Iron Man suitcase in Iron Man 2.

[@samuellopez479]

I thought the iron man case was just a tightly folded suit, not microscopic machines

[@samuellopez479]

But you got a good point, that nano glove was pretty cool.

[@medievalan6285]

​@samuellopez479 it was just an expanding suit, but I think the commentary is highlighting it's similarity, that being it's a depletable resource with limitations and more basis in reality.

[@Nefariousbig]

It's Nanologue, it's nanotech but it's not just a blobby nebulous mass of liquid convenience, it's more practical and tied into somewhat tangible mechanics or conventions of machinery. There's visible frames and slides and satisfying clicky motions involved where possible.

[@Nefariousbig]

It's the equivalent of having a touchscreen interface or a big fat red button/weighty lever. It's just cooler when there's an element of physicality to it.

[@thunderspark1536]

​@@Nefariousbig It's an interesting method that I have been trying to include in my own story, by having the body itself be the "tech." You can make sharp weapons and/or armour with bone sure but if that gets damaged your body is FAR weaker.

Knowing the nature of the suicide squad, it's a shame if Bloodsport dies in the sequel. The fact these characters, even the protagonists, don't have plot armor is what makes it so special.

Big thing is that with Tony's nanotech and really every nanotech suit (i.e. Spiderman, BP, etc.), they just have it and then press a button or think it, and boom, it just magically transforms into the suit within a second. With Bloodsport, the suit is all nano-tech, you clearly get to see all of the tech forming. It's less liquid and more solidly contorting into the proper weapon.

[@emmanuelbarrales6024]

It’s also wonderful that you can tell at the end of the movie he didn’t expect the mission to escalate as much as it has since he’s completely used most of his “ammo” in a sense by the end.

[@Avilimegreen]

That's why I love the Iron spider suit which had three metal legs from Ultimate Spider Man cartoon much more than the movie one. It not only looked cool as hell, it also transformed into a fucking backpack. That was the perfect use of Nanotech for Spider Man, he needs his suit in minimal amount of time and the suit doesn't need much bulk and protection, whereas Stark can alway summon his suits so a Normal human like him shouldn't be using flimsy Nanotech as First and last line of defense.

[@montenegroafro4454]

Idris was phenomenal casting for Bloodsport and his nanotech was actually useful for the narrative of the story (i.e. "I use smaller bullets.") and fight scenes.

It's also noteworthy that the suit itself actually *isn't* nanotech for the most part, it just has the collapsed nanotech weapons embedded into it, acting as some additional armor. But apart from the helmet, the actual suit is just a regular combat suit, albeit heavily customized.

[@nuyabuisness7526]

It's the same reason why we always have to get transformation scene in the Transformers. It's crunchy and grounded while still being fantastic and visually interesting. From a narrative standpoint it allows for the writers and stunt designers to have the hero carrying an entire back of tricks without needing to worry about having your actor carry an arsenal, or somehow taking a trip back to his armory between scenes, or handwaving with an animator's back pocket. Plus you can sell the desperation of the circumstances by taking those tools away from him.

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Honestly Iron Man is the only character in the MCU where nanotech actually works like it should, with Spiderman being a distant second. The very first time we saw him use Nanotech was in Civil War as nothing more than a transforming wristband; a proof of concept for Tony to build on. Next time we see it he's developed an entire suit with nanotech that does its job, but has an issue with long-term use since he can't easily refill his nanobots. Then we see him incorporate energy projectors for things like shields and weapons, letting him use his nanotech more sparingly. Ironman's tech always felt realistic because we saw his progression. Every time a new advancement was made, the seeds for that advancement were already visible beforehand. Spiderman is only second place because his nanotech is the direct result of Ironman.

[@Foxster_13]

I can't remember if you mentioned this, but I think the reason why I like it the most is probably because Bloodsports Nano-tech isn't one whole thing like Iron Man, Thor, or Spider-man, instead it's parts of his suit that he has to individually grab, which takes time, which ties into what you said about him being skilled but also defeatable opponent, plus similar to Iron Man's suit having a limoted amount of nano-tech, if he loses those parts off his suit, he's pretty defenceless. It would be cool to see bloodsport and Deadshot in a potential third Suicide Squad film, where, similar to the second film, there are perhaps two teams. Maybe they have to go up against each other, and the one who squad wins gets so many years off their sentence. Will that happen with Smith's reputation at the moment? I'm not sure, as I don't think he's actually been "cancelled," but is just in everyone bad books. Hopefully, he gets his life together because he's genuinely a great actor, and he and Margot Robbie in the first Suicide Squad were the best thing about that film. But I am glad that they didn't recast him. Of course, this was before all the drama, but still, they could have recasted Deadshot. Anyway, I really enjoyed the video of a surprisingly underrated film. Everyone I've talked to or watched has said it's a good film, but no one really spoke about it when it first came out.

The nanotech appearing out of nowhere without pressing any button makes sense for someone like Tony Stark The classic iron man suits (2007 - iron man 3) are motorized . He probably has some kind of brain chip or something that sends inputs to the exoskeleton from his brain . So it makes sense he can just turn off his helmet with his mind .

[@RickReasonnz]

It works in Suicide Squad because of the equipment placed around his body, that we are more convinced that this COULD be possible, whereas the Marvel variety.... feels like magic. Did find it much better in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, where Falcon could conceivably has all his equipment stashed away in his armor, so maybe they'll pull back a little.

yeah, there were some big things that really worked in F&TWS, and Falcons suits were definitely part of it.

Another point, what's good with the whole movie compared to almost any marvel disney movie is that the armour looks dirty, muddy, broken at times, it looks like it's really been used, really taken a beating and the use of all of the gloominess in some of the scenes, the desaturation of some of it, it truly looks so realistic, unlike marvel where it's too focused on looking glamourous taking away from the realism of it. suicide squad did so well because it's desaturated, darker in colour, the suits, the characters, they aren't designed to be likable or perfect, but flawed, dirty and realistic. alongside the better realism of the engineering of bloodsport as well as everything else using less cgi than stuff like thor love and war, it looks so broody and mature, unlike a pathetic children's attempt at action. essentially maybe it's too different age ranges, but it being more for teenagers where marvel is toned down for children, you can really see the effect

Honestly I love bloodsport nanotech But I prefer the teleportation devices he has to summon his weapons but I hope bloodsport gets himself a series I’m curious how he got the suit and how exactly he went about shooting Superman

[@puddlel1ama327]

I honestly think it's such a fun and clever way to adapt his comic ability, where he teleports weapons to himself

[@dipperpines2793]

I accidentally paused at 0:54 and got Natalie Portman with a nose bandage (idk how accurate clicking the time will be so sry in advance)

[@Daansaes]

To me what makes nanotech work is the equilibrium between versatility and fragility, I like when it seems weaker than a regular shield or weapon. That's why in infinity war works so well, with chunks of the iron man suit flying off and the remaining suit continuously reconfiguring itself around the character. And with bloodsport is similar, watching how the helmet breaks when he crashes with a wall or how he runs out of weapons. Now in the MCU nanotech is only used to have a helmet that you don't have to carry around when you are not wearing it.

[@johnpayne5590]

it makes sense. I feel that nanotech should be versatile and strong, but not too strong. It also shouldn't be too durable, as it is just a bunch of tiny parts linked together. Whereas a whole full made suit would be generally more durable, a nanotech suit would have better regenerative capabilities. However if you have both, you could have nanotech repair the normal suit, albeit slower.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

I hope James Gunn takes DC seriously Because I'll be damned if it has the same comedic tone of the MCU

[@GodSlayerMael]

Bloodsport had the drip the guns the whole package honestly 😤🔥

[@FullFatVideos]

He really did

[@Zombiesnyder13]

I hope James Gunn helps DC to take over this decade Because I'm sick of the MCU

[@FullFatVideos]

I think it will be much different

[@DeLawrence97]

I don't think anyone is sick of the MCU...we're sick of political messages and agendas taking precedence over the story and we're also sick of the butchering of past characters in order to replace them with "strong female" counterparts. They somehow managed to waste Benedict Cumberbatch...who I believe was the de facto big name after Iron Man and Captain America died. They made Dr. Strange a buffoon. Mark Ruffalo's Banner/Hulk never got the attention and writing he deserved. That man can act as showcased in the 5 minute introductory scene in Avengers 2012. There were surprisingly some good tidbits in Age of Ultron too...but then they just tamed him (with IW dropping the ball on that front). They also made a joke of the smaller, but still great characters like Hawkeye(and let's not forget how they also butchered Vincent D'Onofrio's legendary Kingpin), Black Widow, Wanda, Bucky, War Machine...HULK....and the list goes on. And like that wasn't enough...they also brought over characters like Daredevil and Kingpin from the Netflix shows (that were beyond fantastic...Daredevil is above everything in the MCU story wise IMO) and reduced them to petty jokes. I too hope DC is going to bring a new era of good stories. Gunn has shown that he knows how to intertwine good drama with good comedy, though I do hope not every movie/series will follow that formula. Not all characters are meant for it. If he(and his peers) can separate and identify what characters fit in what category and what type of story they need to mesh with said characters, they're going to succeed. I believe The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker are examples that the potential is there.

[@callmechero]

I love that in the big gun scene the actor reaches for his side first as if he's searching for the nano tech accessory. Such a subtle but amazing thing

[@eulogiozarate5235]

One thing i loved about black panthers suit was the way it would eat through his clothes. When he put it on, it was a commitment. And i love Bloodsport's. He doesnt have a nano suit, he has a suit with nano tech. It makes it feel more real.

[@originalname1239]

I love how the costume designers actually put removable segments to make the nano-tech more believable.

[@mcl4549]

I still have no idea why they went through all the trouble of making Arkham deadshot an imposter in SSKTJL when bloodsport was right there

[@FullFatVideos]

I would have been a SSKTJL Stan for that alone

[@lukefischer3688]

I liked the nanotech on starlord's helmet and nothing in marvel since

[@truthseeker7815]

I like how nanotech is not a main component in the story not even in the character at all, but it’s the main topic of the video. I like when small and apparently insignificant details are looked at in movies

[@andrewpeirce9189]

I thought this video was gonna be some out-of-pocket opinions, but it turned out you made some super valid points. Connecting the function of the nanotech to the character writing was inspired and really just increased my opinion of this movie all the more. Now I want more Bloodsport too, lol. Cheers OP

[@tonitom_re]

Now I want a Bloodsport movie

[@Nulono]

One issue with nanotech in movies is that it often doesn't respect physics with respect to things like gravity or conservation of mass, as though it were a hologram rather than nanotech. So at the end of a piece of nanotech armor disappearing, a chunk of metal is just floating in, and disappearing into, thin air.

[@epicbruhmoment6985]

I love how all Nano-tech seems to operate on the unspoken logic that it can just form out of thin air. Like there's never any real explanation as to how the full mass of an ironman suit can just fit in Tony's pocket by Endgame.

[@fenrirsrage4609]

You know all this talk about Bloodsport, his nanotech suit and the fact his OG Comicbook self had teleporting weapons just reminds me of Xionic Madness.

[@dockpirate2127]

Bloodsport's weapons felt like those guns you'd draw in middle school where you'd just kept on adding features non-stop. That makes it so much better for me.

[@HumanB312]

Thor doesn't have nanotech he has magic

[@toyking97]

I haven't seen it said exactly like this but I think what makes it so unique is that its more "expandable" tech instead of "magical creation" tech. Like they aren't tanks of nanojuice but carefully crafted machines with precision frames and electronics meant to unfold and expand into function

[@klo1679]

You know what that xenomorph helmet really reminds me of? It’s a halo helmet design, specifically from halo 4, the gen 2 locus helmet, which is most famous for its use by the RvB character of the same name. But what strikes me as uncanny, is that bloodsport in this film acts very, very close to the way locus does within that RvB series, which just made the character feel so familiar

[@BooleanCorporation]

I still long for the pre-nanotech era of "suiting up" that got its (for me) peak at the first time you see Ironman entering his penthouse at the would be Avengers Tower, in the first Avengers movie. That scene, with the guy just walking by and getting his suit detached by robot arms was *chef's kiss*.

[@sumitbhoye9672]

8:04 I think this element makes the character more realistic and lovable cause we love to see our protagonist struggle and make it through

[@theoawesomeness966]

My first time seeing one of your videos, but you definitely earned a sub with this one. The fact that you focused on the positive examples over negative ones is refreshing, specifically for cgi criticism. Plus, you just seemed genuinely hyped about bloodsport! Keep it up

[@johnkennethramirez7310]

i've had enough nano tech stim for a whole month through this video

[@di11onm1nkgaming]

I feel like it’s because you look at iron man doing a suit up and it looks cool but it’s like bullshit that can fit in that small space, I feel like with Bloodsport and Star Lord you can see where the nano tech is stored and the tech gives a smaller size extensions not creating an entire city out a basically 1 penny coin sized object

[@theresidentteacher2438]

He MADE this movie.

[@subject_changed4690]

When he puts it together, it reminds me of the armor up scene in lost in space. I thought that was so cool as a kid. The dopamine from seeing "UPGRADE" on screen was always sp damn satisfying. Its the reason we watched dragon ball z, our favorite characters never went all out. It was a build up. This nanotech is just so damn satisfying.

[@knighthunter5333]

The fact that the nano tech actually derived from something instead of appearing from thin air is amazing detail and can clearly show when he runs out of nano materials to form into weapons

[@patrik9328]

Bloodsport was one of the best things in SS movie His suit was whole armory of nanotech weapons

[@krispynico960]

I really love how bloodsport mostly has nanotech weapon, shows just how much he prioritizes his weapons

[@IchigoShinagami]

It may be just my brain making a random connection, but Bloodsport's tech reminds me of Generator Rex, and that's a a great thing to be reminded of.
