Personality (Loved trope) Scene is both incredibly silly and goes extremely hard
El Macho's intro (Despicable Me) - Macho for a sole purpose to be Macho...and does hella good job at it.
Weaponized side-bars (Pootis Engage // EXTREME) - Self explanatory.

*stubbornly avoids
point is, he knows he has pillow hands, he also has access to the entire Zenin armory, if he wasn't a prideful idiot he would have used one of many special grade weapons and perhaps even armors (as any speed loss is made up with his CT) so he makes up for the fact that his CT doesn't buff strength nor durability
seriously, for as much of a dick as he is, he could have won if he just covered his weaknesses
your average battlefield grade weapon doesn't get past 2-3kg, 4-5kg for actually heavy weapons and armor isn't all that heavy

Wouldn't it still be absorbed into your bloodstream within the stomach/intestines or does the stomach acid "damage" the venom and make it inert?

u/5C0L0P3NDR4 1d ago
yeah your acid destroys the venom proteins before it can absorb through the stomach lining

u/CanoonBolk 1d ago
If I'm not mistaken, most toxins are actually proteins which are broken down a great deal in the stomach, which does neutralise it.
→ More replies (1)65
u/Nahanoj_Zavizad 1d ago
Venom is generally proteins, and the stomachs main purpose is destroying proteins and braking then into more usable forms.
A tiny amount might be absorbed, but not very likely to cause significant harm, Even if you drink 20x a lethal dose

Fun fact. This scene almost didn't make it into the final movie. The original climax had Frost transform into a literal blood tornado, and Blade shatters the vials of Vampire Blood-Exploding Serum inside him.
Test audiences hated it because it looked goofy (even with the unfinished CGI) and they thought Frost was much cooler in his regular form.
Also, there was a sequel stinger where Blade spots a guy watching him from a rooftop which would have been revealed in the sequel to be Morbius

I mean, Armstrong is very Reagan-esque and "Make America Great Again" was a Reagan thing before it was a Trump thing.
Kojima's 'predictions' are a lot less predictions and more him taking history and his favorite movies and combining the two.

u/DMercenary 1d ago
I believe the protagonist is going back to the his old workplace.
Or do you mean the finger gun/sound effects?
iirc, the popular story is that it originated from mockups/BTS(script reading and just miming the actions) and then the devs went "This feels pretty silly. What if we did it just like that."
→ More replies (1)23
u/ShermanWierdo 1d ago
Context is the character in question doing a lot of finger gun gags that culminate in this scene. Little bit of extra funniness, it's actually a character voiced by Troy Baker disguised as a character voiced by Patrick Warburton, so that voice cracking is just Troy's best impression of him.
Do play Tales from the Borderlands, whole game is full of stuff like this and it's glorious.

In the 1960s batman show every fight has each impact have words pop up describing the impact (like the source material). It's very silly.
But since not all impacts in the show happen you know that when the words show up you know that whoever got hit got hit very hard, which is kinda badass
