they all get pwned at one point or another, including self-pwns, and the most pwned dude wins in the end

TOMBOT, Sunday, 7 December 2008 03:31 (seventeen years ago)

so you think bc more than 1 character gets pwned it does not qualify? dude "winning" is totally subjective, btw.

very quotatious (tehresa), Sunday, 7 December 2008 03:31 (seventeen years ago)

Totally subjective? He gets a serious shot at what none of the others have.

"actually", the best pick is pusher II, which i previously mentioned and highly recommend to those who enjoy films with a constant pwnage of a lead character

He kinda has a happy ending though ... as opposed to the lead character in Pusher I who also pretty much just gets pwned the whole time.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 27 August 2009 08:15 (sixteen years ago)

ironic that he would later famously pwn two people

Oh no, not me,
We never lost control,
You're face to face,
With the man who pwned the world

cool app (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Thursday, 27 August 2009 19:32 (sixteen years ago)

but in pusher II he really gets pwned all the time, the dude in the first pusher film gets pwned but still retains some strength and he's not really a guy everyone else thinks is weak and useless (he just gets in a tight spot he can't escape.) the director said that his goal in pusher II was to end every scene with the lead character completely humiliated and every other character clearly thinks he's a loser and a pushover (this all despite his ultimate happy ending.)

the moreno you knowshon (omar little), Friday, 28 August 2009 01:49 (sixteen years ago)

true that, though plenty of other characters in the first pusher film thought the main guy was weak and useless enough that they didn't pay him/supply him when he wanted them too. The fact that his girlfriend takes his money and bails on him at the end was pretty serious pwnage.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Friday, 28 August 2009 02:01 (sixteen years ago)
