Movies That Should Have Been Epic

RE: Movies That Should Have Been Epic
Starship Troopers should've had power-armor.

Anything with power armor is fucking epic. Warhammer 40,000 agrees with me heavily.

Shut up, we're not talking about the early-to-mid-90s games with the live acting in them.

No, seriously, shut up, before I end you. And we're definitely not talking about Dawn of War [the first one].

Let's see. The Last Airbender; a great series ruined by M. Night Shamwow and his utterly predictable lack of storytelling abilities. Brave; hinted at as being Pixar's first forays into genuine darkness, myth, and legend, ruined by the constant switching of directors and writers over the course of its development [something that NEVER works well. EVER]. Super Mario Bros. Seriously, it could have been awesome.

Avatar. If this movie had had stronger storytelling it would've been great. The romance was...meh. It at least had some good moments. The action was pretty cool. The scenery was beautiful [best use of CGI I've seen so far]. Some of the characters were rather relatable. But the story kind of took the environmentalist message and just drilled it into the audiences' heads with jackhammers. I didn't understand what the deal with unobtanium was and...seriously? Unobtanium?? Why not just call it difficulttoacquirium? Or expensivematerialium? Or, more seriously, ulterium? Ulterium sounds awesome. I mean, I get that the corporation in charge wasn't ACTUALLY any kind of public face, it was a private organization with a private mercenary brigade and so you're not supposed to really feel any sympathy towards them at all but you know I think that actually kind of worked against the movie's favor. All the soldiers just whooping and jeering and laughing as they blow the na'vis' heads off just...might as well give them a fucking mustache to twirl. And, seriously, powder-driven ballistic weaponry? Dude...FTL ships but fucking ballistics?? No fucking railguns, gauss drivers, or accelerometric weaponry? No particular-accelerators, ionized photonic weaponry, none of the cool theoretical weaponry we already are showing to be plausible? Just...bullets? Really? Fuck they didn't even use caseless ammunition or bullpup rifles! What the hell, man?! If you're gonna make a futuristic military faction, give them some fitting gear other than just headless mech suits. And seriously, mechs? Power armor, man. POWERED ARMOR. GIVE THE FUCKERS SOME DAMN POWERED ARMOR. WHY DOES EVERY FILM MAKER KEEP PASSING ON THE POWERED ARMOR?! POWERED ARMOR IS AWESOME!

Those are the only ones coming to mind for now. I'll think of more later.
