To be fair to Hugh, Wolverine: Origins bears that out. He really was raised by wolves off and on during his teenage years. He was dealing badly with a lot of things at the time.
Makes me think of a lost potential for a scene in one of the x-men movies or cartoons of wolverine screaming bloody murder from the other room freaking out a new recruit who thinks they are under attack, just to be reassured by someone near by "Don't worry man it's fine, Wolverine just nicked his balls again."
Yeah, I agree, not enough comments actually trying to make a joke! I mean, what am I suppose to pat some stranger on the back because they copy / pasted a meme from 4 years ago?
People were angry with Hugh Jackman's casting initially because wolverines are supposed to be small and angry. That's the whole shtick with the character. Hugh isn't small.
It's always been odd that Wolverine is supposed to be a pretty short dude, with a bit of a hunch, yet Hugh is a tall guy who always walks with good posture.
It must be really hard for them to find a japanese woman to be his co star for the 2013 movie; who allows them to be in the same frame without Hugh's head cut off.
I'm just really happy I'm not the only one who calls Real Steel Rockem Sockem Robots, I refused to watch it for years simply because they didn't call it that.
@@killexfid219 yep if I remember the episode was about robots takeing over like in the movie but in the episode the guys robot broke so he went in pretending to be the robot and gets the living shit beaten out of him
I always thought Real Steel was about Hugh Jackman’s character controlling his robot during the fight by making it copy what he did and beating all the other robots because he used to be a real boxer
Remember watching Real Steel with the director talking about the movie over the audio (forgive me, I completely forget what you actually call it) and he mentioned that in the scene where Atom was looking at himself in the mirror Atom was meant to move, proving that Atom is sentient but he didn't go through with it. Or atleast that's what I remember
@@elizabeebear yeah. She put her breasts on a photocopier and handed out the copies to the staff... They have an episode talking about that on this channel if you look hard enough.
Kobe Wild it’s actually more like the recent android human arm extension anime, Same kinda plot. So I watched it after the anime, to me it’s more an anime style film. Rare thing.
Ooooooh, Real Steel! That was one of my most favourite movies EVER when I was a kid...! I should watch it again, it’s been a fair couple years since I have...
I love how Hugh was cast as a comic book character and does all that crap to prepare instead of, you know, just flipping through a couple of the fucking comic books for like 20 minutes.
God I loved Real Steel as a kid. I should watch it again really soon. You should do a mini series where you call out some of the better movies that dont really get talked about. Mainly because I really enjoy your opinion on shit and the way you deliver information is fantastic
I always thought it made a lot of sense that Wolverine/Jackman wasn’t ripped in the first X-men movie as at that time period he was pretty much washed up and just fighting in bar fights, drinking, living a pretty lowkey life. So I always saw it as a convenient accident that his body was more on the regular side.
Watched several videos from you, but after watching this I subscribed. Not only does the content you cover seam very interesting, but I also love the energy you bring to each video. Not to criticize you here, but I wish you would approach a topic that was a little more obviously challenging to you. Please keep talking about what interests you, but maybe also include something from out of left field. Great work, please don't stop Karl
Honestly the bit about him not having his wishes to have the set closed just set a dangerous precedent that continually gets reinforced in today's society, one that means that men don't deserve to have their wishes respected in regard to their bodies. If you reversed the genders and did that shit to an actress you'd lose your job the second the story came out. Men deserve to have the same respect in regard to their bodies as women, period. I don't care if it's a prank, he asked for the set to be limited to only the necessary crew, and they went against that in a way that if it were to an actress would end very differently. Sexism against men is wrong, as is sexism against women. It's not reverse sexism either, it's sexism, plain and simple. Men don't deserve to be objectified as equally as women don't. Why are these such hard concepts? Holy shit.
OK i do not know how but real steal ended up being one of my favorite childhood movie. i can still remember all the scenes and how many times i have seen this- i just do not know why
I watch fact fiend so much that when I try to go to sleep I can hear the theme playing, and sometimes Karl’s voice saying random words. I’m literally hearing this being said in Karl’s voice as I’m typing this.
real steel is fucking awesome , i still remember the scene were the kid repaints the atom symbol in neon bright blue over the red old faded atom symbol, i fuckin watch this movie all throughout my childhood and i think i still have it somewere
Mate real steal was the fucking shit. I was too young to watch it at the time in the cinema and went through hell to find this on the internet. Damn I miss that computer.
I actually really enjoyed Real Steel. It was an underrated film. The story was essentially Rocky-Sock'em Robots, but it was entertaining seeing the fights and the interactions between Hugh and his "son" were pretty well done. Definitely a recommend from me, a random TH-cam commentator and possible full-/part-time TH-camr who just wants to talk about movies.
Man fact fiend.. I love you guys. Found you a couple of weeks ago and fucking hell you have helped me alot. My gf.. or ex gf broke up with me 2 months ago and life's been so fucking lonely and shit since. But then I found fact fiend and damnit this is the best thing ever, all your videos has this positive and funny vibe and your attitude is always on top, your videos takes my mind of the bad things in life and just brings happiness at least for a while. Thanks for real and keep it up :) (sorry for bad English I'm Swedish)
Hugh Jackman plays a reluctant father figure to the kid who is a likable character. The shadow function of the older robot has less lag than the joystick control does, but lacks the preprogrammed one button push advantage.
"He's not a mutated wolverine!" but he was going to be. You should do a video on that. (Have you done a video on that? There are a ton of videos, I could have overlooked it.)
Real Steel is amazing and one of his best movies, but I’d say his best movies are Logan and Prisoners. I’m not the biggest X-Men fan but I do enjoy some of the stories and movies and the 90s cartoon, minus Origins. I really only cared for the movies because of Hugh, Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellan, that’s one of the reasons I loved Logan so much. It was the swan song for 2 of my favorite characters in X-Men and it did exactly what I wanted. It was the most well acted comic book movie aside from Dark Knight (Also I’d argue both are the only comic movies that deserved acting and best picture oscars) Also it has some of the best Action out of the entire franchise (Until Deadpool 2). It finally showed the horrifically brutal feral side of Logan, the one I’d always wanted to see since the 90s cartoon introduced me to the X-Men. It’s also the only comic book movie that made me leave the theater balling and had me balling the whole 20 minute drive home. It’s honestly my favorite comic book/movie in general. I can’t praise Logan enough.
I have no idea if all these shirts are merch reveals or just Karl proudly presenting the shirts he's made himself
The merch store has been live for a month. We just thought it'd be funny to never mention it. Watch the video to the end and you might spot the link.

Real Steel was really a lot better than people give it credit for.
Heavy Metal Collector Surf Ninjas is an all time favorite of mind, regardless of how ridiculous it is.
no
Real Steel is a fantastic movie. I don't see why people think it is so bad.

It's always been odd that Wolverine is supposed to be a pretty short dude, with a bit of a hunch, yet Hugh is a tall guy who always walks with good posture.
If I recall, they used camera trickery, and other actors stood on boxes in order to make him seem shorter than the rest of the cast.
It must be really hard for them to find a japanese woman to be his co star for the 2013 movie; who allows them to be in the same frame without Hugh's head cut off.

I love how Hugh was cast as a comic book character and does all that crap to prepare instead of, you know, just flipping through a couple of the fucking comic books for like 20 minutes.
Hugh Jackman's best film by far has to be Van Helsing. One of my favourites at least
That Karl's Korner image is the best. Good job Brad.
Man, this channel just gives me such invaluable information.
God I loved Real Steel as a kid. I should watch it again really soon. You should do a mini series where you call out some of the better movies that dont really get talked about. Mainly because I really enjoy your opinion on shit and the way you deliver information is fantastic
I saw Real Steel in theaters when I was 9, and haven’t seen it since but I just got finished watching it and I forgot how much I loved that movie!
In almost every x-men movie
Besides his three stand alone movies wolverine seems like the main protagonist.
"If the bar ain't bending, you're just pretending".
I always thought it made a lot of sense that Wolverine/Jackman wasn’t ripped in the first X-men movie as at that time period he was pretty much washed up and just fighting in bar fights, drinking, living a pretty lowkey life.

YA, IM SO GLAD THAT YOU LIKE IT. it's literally been my favorite movie since I was like 8.
Real steel is one of my favorite movies and all my friends just call it rocky with robots and say they hate it but I love it
Y'all notice he got a gorilla and cheetah mix together right?
Its a shirt
Yeah it was based on an earlier video when asked what was Karl's favorite hybrid animal.
serbrightside I know. I seen that video, but I was just pointing it out.
I thought so. It's just for those who've haven't.
go hOME yOUR dRUNK!!!
I liked that in the clip from Graham Norton where Hugh is explaining it that he actually did the schnikt sound effect to illustrate his point.
That opening line got a like. I love Real Steel. Still hoping for that sequel.
I was going to say the same thing about Karl's review on movies, then like a wild telepathic link, Brad goes and says it. Glad I'm not the only one
