Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) False advertising

  1. The marketing makes it seem like the movie is about Austin (the unbreakable boy) who is autistic, but rather it's about his prick of a father who caused a drunk driving accident
  2. The talking kangaroo was included in all of the trailers and the main poster but was only a hallucination and was seen for like 30 seconds (Kangaroo Jack)

Really dumb question here. Why is this spartan wearing a cloak? Is his suit not warm enough? It can protect him from the cold of space but not the cold of whatever planet he’s on?

Space is actually pretty easy to insulate against, as vacuums dont absorb heat. You actually need to bring ways to remove heat while in space.

Just trying to use my autism to answer a question, sand/salt and grit could over long exposure (trapped on a world for years) could get in joints and cause problems so a cloak could prove useful.

Also if you're famous and called the "demon" and you're whispered about being green, a brown cloak could buy you precious seconds or at a a distance could leave you ignored .

To conceal himself maybe? Like I guess if someone was passing by that he wanted to hide from he could duck his head under the cloak too, and then none of his shiny armor would be showing. That's all I got.
