    Spoken like someone who doesn’t wear glasses. You take them off because they are expensive and they break easily. Also I need to be able to see on my way back after I get my ass beat.

    Same as when they are searching for something with binoculars, and when they find it, they immediately lower them with force to stare at it with the naked eye and point it out, even looking away when pointing, while it clearly isn’t visible with the naked eye BECAUSE THEY NEEDED FUCKING BINOCULARS TO FIND IT. I’ve been in the navy for 15 years. When I found something, like a periscope or man overboard training doll with binoculars, I would have immediately lost it when I lowered them. Especially when I would look away for a sec.

      That’s to find it for the others to see. Look through binoculars, see what it is, then look directly to confirm direction and point at it.

        No it’s a Hollywood thing so they can have a full facial expression for finding the thing they looked for on camera. They need the eyes on camera.

        As soon as you find something with binoculars, you won’t take your eyes off of it. Ever been in the savanna finding a lion? Ever been birdwatching and finding this special bird? Looking away or lowering the binoculars means you lost it. Especially when you want to show others, you point and look while keeping your eyes through the binoculars on target.

          It depends on whether it’s stationary or not. Of course, professionals would do what you’re advising, but that’s basically what I do now with binoculars when hiking or on a tourist coin operated binocular machine with someone to show them cool stationary landscape features.

      Just to nerd out a bit: I think this is justified. He has nanomachines, son. His eyesight is probably perfect, but he adopts a different persona most of the time. He’s a puppeteer and a politician most of the time.

      This is when he gets his actual boss theme lyrics too and he finally treats you as an actual fight. No more metal gear, no more speeches. You get the treatment of an equal rival.

      Or: Rising Revengeance might like symbolism, but it prefers the subtlety of a giant boulder and memes, and him taking off his glasses just fits the rule of cool.

    Those are reading glasses. And they are all out of books. Demons run when a good nerd goes to war.
