Galahad still alive in Kingsman 2?

[MCerberus]

Seriously?

Spoiler

Usually when you say "seriously?" you follow with something that makes your point apparent. Did the movie ever explicitly promise to not blow the heads off of a lot of military leaders while they're seated in a Strangelove-style war room?

You're entitled to your opinion, but everything you've come up with is "I don't like it because I don't like it".

edit- and it's either an oversight or misdirection considering that's a direct quote from a famous American folk author.

Considering that Colin Firth was the only watchable thing in the original, I'm sure that the producers realized what a piece of shit any sequel would be without him. It will be a piece of shit with him too of course.

Kingsman was fun for people who have no imagination at all.

Wow, love that insult directed at everyone who enjoyed that movie. You can't just dislike it, you have to shit on anyone who did. Classy.

Just because you were offended by something I said, and that was not directed at you or anyone in particular, does not mean that I meant it as an insult.

You declared that anyone who found the movie fun, has no imagination. Seeing as I found the movie fun, you are directly talking to me. And to say I have no imagination, is an insult. You are making a blanket (and false) declaration about the mental state of anyone who disagrees with you.

Meanwhile your brittle, and passive-agressive reply was pointless. You didn't even ask a question, you just made an assumption about what I meant basedon your thin skin, and blew off.

Because I had nothing to fucking ask you. And if you are unable to comprehend the very words you said, or how they would be interpreted by the people they were directed to, well then I pity you.

By the way, just to inject a dose of reality into this talk of head wounds, there is a difference between, "Shot somewhere in what we call 'the head' with some kind of gun" and "Blasted between the eyes at point blank range."

Spoiler: So very NSFW

Holy shit! You've developed the ability to see the alignment of a shot from a profile?! You are fucking amazing! Seriously, that shot could be anywhere to the side of the head. All you can see from that shot is that blood came out the back of his head. Whether that was center skull, or off to the side because the hit a glancing shot, isn't possible to be determined by that angle. It's just not, sorry.
Not to mention Samuel Jackson's character isn't even looking where he's shooting.

That's dead. That's a shot with a 9mm H&K P30 somewhere around the nose/between the eyes. That is the prototypical kill shot. You get survivors with misfires, .22's, and freak accidents around the strongest bones in the head, not 9mm point black shots to the weakest bones in the head (the sinuses).

Again, you have no idea as to the horizontal placement of that shot. For all you know from that angle, it went in his cheek and out the back/side. And again, it's not like Kingsman gives a flying fuck about realism at all. We have women with knife feet, bisecting people from head to crotch, and not a single bit of entrails spills out onto a floor. We have bullet dodging, and wire-fu, and fireworks exploding heads in multi-color hues. You think they give a shit about the real world stopping power, muzzle velocity of a gun?

Considering i just go to the movies for fun i don't mind if they bring him back. it makes little sense but then again it's a pretty goofy movie so what's the big deal?

"Oh, my eye was just shot out. I'm cool," approach.

It's funny that Hollywood thinks eyes are bulletproof sometimes.

I bet it will be in the form of a video message he leaves behind.

Okay guys, take it to PM's if you need to carry on this conversation. No one is going to benefit from you guys being rude to each other. Any posts after this will be met with an infraction.

They could make him a villain. It would take a lot of work from a writing standpoint but drain damage has been used before.

I am not invested in the franchise or the characters enough to really give a crap. His fight in the church was fun so having more of that would be fine but the whole movie fell apart in the last part which ever way you slice it no matter what training he had eggsy just did not, at ALL fit the gentleman persona, not even a little bit.

They can do what they want bring back whoever they want and use whatever stupid reason for it, like I said not invested so don't really care. To be honest does anyone really care?

That's usually frontal lobe damage, and by "villain" it usually means "unpleasant in the long-term care facility". Oh, you might lose your conscience and impulse control, but you tend to lose some other stuff too, like the ability to count to ten, read, write, and think well.

I'm not sure how an impulsive, angry, lobotomized Harry is much of a villain.

In any case, getting shot in the face like that isn't just magically hurting the front of his head. Bits of bone and bullets would forge different and terrible channels of destruction through the head.

Gunshot wounds are so messy on the inside.

Spoilsport. You with your reality in film making.

While I loved the character, I think it's just too damn stupid to bring him back from the dead. Even if the movie itself was pretty damn silly to begin with. The bullet went into his head and came out the other side, he was dead as fuck.

I don't remember us actually being shown the wound in any way, just Valentines reaction to what he saw (and given his issues with blood). No one else appeared to inspect the body closely as I remember.

Yeah I don't remember them inspecting the body either, however, in the scene, you can actually see, which I can only assume is blood, coming out of the back of his head right as valentine pulls the trigger. That would kinda suggest, that despite Valentine looking away just a split second before he shoots, he did actually shoot him in the head and the bullet went straight through.

It's gonna take some mighty fine bullshitting to make it seem that that was all some trick to make them think he killed him.

Here is the scene in question. Gets shot at like 0:50

Well then I propose the Claptrap robolution solution!

I see the super BS as you call it of when he flinched while firing the bullet ended up hitting the skull (more to the side of the eye socket) and wandering around the outside (some bullets have done crazy stuff) then exiting the back.

Nah, he was dead, but then he took some medicine, had a good night's rest and got all better. Or maybe he caught the bullet with his teeth cause he is a badass like that and he has like those bloodpatches installed under his skin to make it seem like he got shot.
