Sometimes he’s low on the spectrum, meaning he can listen to loud sounds and look people in the eye, but then he’ll be high on the spectrum, be unable to do the things I listed and have no emotions. (Like how he doesn’t react to people dying) And if autism can make people multilingual with alien languages, then why can’t I speak Irish, my native language for the life of me?

[@blunderingfool]

People try to tell me this sort thing a lot, and I will *ALWAYS* disagree. See the moment I complain about a movie is when they break their *OWN RULES.* I will allow a movie to change the laws of physics, etc, whatever, so long as they state why, and then *FOLLOW* the "new" rules. If in your movie, you say, something happened to the water and now it's Flamable, so when it rains fires break out everywhere. (Think a Joker style prank, etc) Okay, fine, not a problem... but then later if they have a firetruck putting out a fire with *WATER* I call bullshit. For example: Avengers Infinitywar/endgame..... Black Widow "She can't come back"..... Yet there is another Gamora walking around like she *ISN'T PROOF* that they *COULD* get her back. And it's pretty simple, you have to go back to give the red stone back anyway, so when you get there and the two "Black Widow / Hawkeye" (Who were BOTH willing to die) Just say: "Hey, Hawkeye.... She jumped last time, so you are still around with your family and everything, this time... *you* jump, so she can continue as well". And if that doesn't work for you, the whole thing is fuct anyway since loki took one of the stones and that's never going back anyway, not to mention other giant plot holes like Ms Marvel "There are others planets/galaxies that don't have you guys, I need to go help them" ..... yeah... go do that, help *INDIVIDUAL* planets/solar systems/galaxies.... *INSTEAD OF* helping to stop this threat to *HALF OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!!!* .... right? cause... that makes sense... right?

Same with my brother. Severe tourettes and when he was a kid, a lot of it was auditory. Random high-pitched screeching, throat-clearing, a low humming sound whenever he watched TV. Never once did he do the random shouting of cuss-words thing. To be fair though, some people with tourettes do that. Most don't but some do and the movie didn't claim that that character represented EVERYONE with tourettes. If movies had to pander THAT much, they would be impossible, cause if they made a female character that liked to paint and whose favourite colour was blue, females could complain that that was misrepresentation, cause being female doesn't mean you like to paint or that blue is your favourite colour. No one claimed that it did. I understand the criticism of the aspergers (probably misspelled but I'm tired and lazy) character better, cause it wasn't just a stereotypical and rare case of aspergers, but downright nonsensical and contradictory of itself. Kinda like William Dafoe's gay character in Boondock Saints. Love that movie but holy shit, that character was awful. One moment, he's a normal man who just so happens to be gay. Next moment he's the femme type of expressive gay. One moment he's dominating. Next moment he's submissive blah blah blah.

The type of woman who talks about her PhD, says things like, "I believe in science" and then goes on to say the most nonsensical thing you have heard that year. She was trying really hard to convince herself. Probably told that to every new person she met without them even asking or caring to ask.

Hey, former prisoner here., 19 felonies, 7 years, TDOC 409328. They didn't chain us to the seats. What they did do to prevent what happens way too often in movies that contain prisoners on buses is have a chain around our waists. Our feet and our hands were cuffed and there's a chain running to the cuffs on our feet locked to the one around our waists. There's an even shorter chain from the waist to the cuffs on our hands. You can't run and you can't lift your hands any farther than about where your rib cage starts, and the cuffs also have these little plastic boxes on them, so you can't move your hands any closer or any farther apart than they already are. So even if you could waddle over to another prisoner before a guard shot you, then somehow managed to lift your arms high enough and far enough away from your body to get them around someone's neck, which is basically impossible, the rigid piece of plastic, which is about four inches tall and six inches wide, would prevent you from choking anyone. As to why they don't chain people to their seats I'm guessing in the event of a crash it would make rescuing prisoners trapped inside a real bitch. There were more than a few people I ran across in there I felt didn't deserve life, but you'd be surprised the number of decent people in a prison. The windows all have bars on them and there's a cage in the front as well so even if the bus wrecks if it's bad enough to break the bars or the cage escape wouldn't be a concern because everyone would be dead or things would be broken on them. Climbing out of the wreckage of a bus with cuffs on your feet and on your hands while both are locked to a chain around your waist with a broken arm or leg would be something. Then you're not getting far anyways because you're not crossing any rough terrain at all, so at best you're hobbling down the interstate with a broken leg, chained up with prison blues on. "Why don't you take the guard's keys?" Due to the way it's all set up it requires someone else to take that stuff off of you. Also the "thumbs up" scene was cute I guess, but does the predator know what that gesture means? It doesn't mean the same thing across cultures so I guess he studied the contextual use of various hand gestures across all human cultures. Also, prisoners that are suicidal are nearly always kept in segregation. That cage at the front of the bus? It's got four to six sections in it where they can keep prisoners that are dangerous to other prisoners, dangerous to themselves and in danger from other prisoners. So he would have been in there and not with the other prisoners. In seven years I've been on alot of those buses and one time they had two females on our bus transporting them. They were in the cages and nobody made a peep in regards to them. Any sexual advances towards any female in prison in front of any other guard isn't tolerated at all. Still there's quite a bit of "fraternization" between male prisoners and female staff. Never date a woman that works in a prison because she's fucking at least one prisoner.

I love the idea that in the sequel to this every time they shot at the Predators they would crouch down and moan with their fingers in their ears.

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Holographs are impractical for the predators at night too, because they're trying to be stealthy.

[@traumachild1737]

A backstory does not make a chracter. The actions of the chracter within the story is what makes a chracter. While the Backstory can give context to some of the character's choices it is not required. The orginal Predator and The Thing are proof you don't need chracter with a backstory to make them engaging. If you "chracters" are just walking backstories that don't do anything of note in the film then your character is pointless.

That chess scene makes me cringe so hard, I have Aspergers, and I have the memory of a friggin’ goldfish, I literally have to mark my hand with a marker pen every night when I take my meds so that five minutes later I don’t forget and overdose, we aren’t super human, we can be just as dumb as regular folks. 😂

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

Yeah I didn't like how they depicted autism.

[@r.j.penfold]

I've got Aspergers too, and the way this kid seems to have been portrayed is not it. At least, from what I've experienced with said mental disorder. Or whatever you wanna call it.

[@purpleemerald5299]

Midori Sithposts If the kid just picked up all the pieces off the floor and put them in their default positions like I initially thought he was going to, that would make sense. Being obsessed with smaller details and feeling the compulsion to keep things in order are very common traits of Aspergers that I myself experience. Somehow the filmmakers thought that was a fucking super power that gave people photographic memories and made the kid into a human super computer. XD

[@purpleemerald5299]

TheAutistWhisperer I figured you wouldn’t.

[@redzgaming6880]

Same, they made Aspurger's seem like a superpower when it's really a dissorder you deal with your entire life. Peridot from SU was a better example of someone on the spectrum. There are certain things I love (Shows, movies, games, indie game devs, ect.) which I am obsessed with and know a lpt of tiny details about, everything else seems strange and complicated.

Imagine being one of the writers (because this movie had two writers) suddenly realizing that fuck-up the first time they're watching the final cut. It must've been like leaving a cup of coffee on the roof of your car and then seeing it go flying all over your windshield when you come up to the first stop sign, only in this case the cup of coffee cost millions of dollars of studio money.

Worse - it crashed just down the road from the main character's house, which was just down the road from the secret government facility.

The humor in this movie feels like some edgy schlock that should kept be in 2000's Newgrounds Flash animations 37:59 39:26 52:14 I'm also genuinely at a loss for words on how such horrendous and offensively bad writing could be accepted and made into a multi-million dollar movie, but I think 2018 was all about filmmakers being r*tarded since money can still be made either way.
