Situational Leadership: Silver Surfer

Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington) deals with a subordinate who has just engaged in a fight. He chooses to deal with Petty Officer First Class Rivetti by applying a certain style of leadership based on his analysis of Rivetti's follower readiness level.

True leadership. No self gratification, just correction but understanding.

[@SFisher1993]

Throwing in a relatable comment to identify with your employees is a perfect way to solidify said understanding!

[@robboyte1101]

I am a comic book reader/enthusiast from the time I could read to well into my adulthood. When I watched this movie in the theater with my father, he didn't understand why I laughed my ass off at this scene.

[@UgoStrange]

Truth. Kirby Surfer is Surfer.

[@hollowichigo24x]

Donny Cates is a good rival

[@Artisan1979]

Damn right. It wasn't even a Stan Lee co-creation. Jack Kirby did it himself based on his idea that a being as godlike as Galactus should have a herald to scout for the planets he needed to survive, and Stan appropriated it, gave it an origin that was completely different than what Jack had in mind for the character, and then assigned the book to John Buscema to draw as the final insult to injury.

[@Astrobrant2]

This was a great movie. Washington and Hackman were at the top of their game. Believe it or not, neither of them got an Oscar nomination for best actor or best supporting actor. The outstanding script also deserved a nomination and didn't get one.

Moebius' Silver Surfer is great, but yeah, nothing beat good old Kirby.

You can instantly tell this is Tarantino

Bendis Daredevil is above all other DD. Jus kidding, it's up there though

[@Capcoor]

Wrong movie.

[@joecortazzi6049]

Moebius' Silver Surfer is okay, and Kirby did create the character but THE definitive Silver Surfer artist is Big John Buscema. 'Nuff said!

[@rollyro71]

Buscema Silver Surfer above all

[@joecortazzi6049]

You got that right, my friend. Exhibit A, of course, is the cover of Silver Surfer #4 (Thor Vs The Surfer). Chef's Kiss...mwah! 💋

[@raymondyee2008]

I would love to see a LT CMDR like that on any ship (even if it's an SSBN).

[@nobytes2]

my EMO who was prior enlisted was like him, he made us better in every way. I truly respected him because he was a true leader.

[@RocKnight11]

Most accurate scene in the movie.

What is Moebius Silver surfer?

[@thachakal]

Moebius was a French comic artist.

[@finaoo1167]

I loved this movie, but seriously? A fistfight breaks out among enlisted me WITH THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN THE SAME ROOM??? Come on, man!

[@xaenon]

What is so hard to believe about it?

[@finaoo1167]

@@xaenon - enlisted men would not start a fight with the boat's second in command sitting nearby.

[@xaenon]

@@finaoo1167 I beg to differ. I've witnessed it.

[@whatchuwant77]

True that! Then later during the launch sequence, this squid tells an officer, "Wepps, missles are ready, man." Badly written.

[@finaoo1167]

@@whatchuwant77 - I don't know for sure, but I also think it's unlikely that the weapons officer is the only person on board the boar who knows the combination for the safe with the tactical firing trigger. If the weapons officer dies, or is incapacitated, or just forgets the combination, an entire ballistic missile submarine is rendered completely useless.

[@cellmate1]

Kirby!!!!!

[@plasticweapon]

moebius is an artist. kirby drew everyone like they had down syndrome.

[@lochofmceo]

What Silver Surfer movie are they talking about?

[@JnEricsonx]

They're not, they're talking about two different artists versions of the character in comics. And since Jack Kirby CREATED the character....

[@rollyro71]

Talking about Comic book artists

[@isolinear9836]

Ultimately, the argument is about Canon vs Art style. The bottom line is (1) Kirby is the creator of the Silver Surfer. And (2) Moebius is the superior Artist.

[@Artisan1979]

I agree Moebius's Silver Surfer was shit

[@mrcat3493]

This movie sucked so bad.

[@megamar]

Nah, this movie is awesome

[@rollyro71]

This movie is a classic.
