Would've been more awesome if it was a sequel with the OG actors.

Emulators are for Nintendo what loud chewing is for most people, not exactly illegal but if you do it you're gonna get decked.

Is this a joke that I'm to GTX 1080 Ti to understand?

Luck is not an infinite resource, meaning that when ever you get lucky, somebody else won't. So you'll actively will siphon luck from people around you. Good luck with the loneliness, no pun intended

I think there's a way simpler economic reason. If you have an ensemble of actors, the more scenes they have the more you have to pay. So killing them of one by one is an easy way for a studio to save money (let's not forget, the US has an Union for their actors). Also we live in the age of sequels so having only a minimal cast transfer between movies means way less contract renegotiations. At least I think it started that way and then just grew into a cultural school of filmmaking in Hollywood. It just became the way you do things.

It might also be an artifact of the popularity of slasher movies from the early 2000s' where the whole point was to kill characters.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your description but I'm imagining an object moving in a straight line and pulsing information perpendicular to its path at a constant rate. If there's even a slight curvature to the objects path the perpendicular lines will converge on the inside of the curve. Wherever 2 perpendicular lines intersect there's a "potential" for information from 2 different positions to arrive at the same time, but that is not guaranteed. For this to be the case the information from position at T and T+∆T must reach the intersect point at the same time, this means that the objects postion at T+∆T itself must be closer to the point by the distance the information has to travel in ∆T along its own perpendicular path. Since the objects path is a curve (no infinite acceleration) and the closest distance between position at T and T+∆T would be a straight line. Because this line is the hypotenuse between the 2 positions and the information's perpendicular position at T+∆T, it will always be longer than the distance the information has traveled in ∆T. My intuition tells me that the objects speed must therefore be faster then the speed of the information itself to essentially "cut the curve".

I imagine something like that is possible with sound and going hypersonic but not with light, since their is no sonic boom equivalent.

Sometimes I wonder, what life is doing with me.

Prevalence of Death in Hollywood movies.

Seriously, how many times does some side character in a Hollywood movie escape death by an inch then looks at the protagonist and smiles, only to be instantly killed anyway.
Or the fact that if there's a group of people in a horror movie, only the main protagonist and their estranged love interest or child will survive till the end.
Or if the protagonist is shown to have a lovely quiet life with their love interest, they will lose them in the next 5 minutes.

I can excuse the protagonist mowing down some unnamed goons, but Hollywood treats their named side characters as disposable garbage too.

Watch foreign movies and you'll get what I'm saying. There, a single character death is usually a big deal and a major pivot point for the story.

I've recently started watching more biographies and it's so much more enjoyable knowing that a character isn't going to suddenly get hit by a bus for having a good time.
