My glasses cost around $500. I don’t need them in fisticuffs. You bet I’m taking them off, I’m near sighted anyway.
I’m farsighted, but I see well enough at close range for combat, so same.
Meanwhile, in Evangelion:

Also, I couldn’t find this elsewhere, but I only tried once. If you have a non-YouTube alternative of this video you’d like to share, please do and I’ll edit my post
Depends on where the shit is getting real.
If it’s getting real at arm’s length, I definitely need my glasses.
If it’s getting real on the other side of the room, I’m gonna have to take my glasses off to see it properly.
Yes… I am old.
Those are reading glasses. And they are all out of books. Demons run when a good nerd goes to war.
Meanwhile, anime charachters: adjust glasses to sit just right when shit gets real.
The real movement, especially if you insist on moving your glasses constantly for some reason, taking off the glasses and slightly adjusting each pad in your hand before placing them back is a lot less cool.
why does noone just get properly fitted glasses?
Character tilts head down and smiles as their glasses turn opaque.
Oh shit, someone has a secret
oh yeah lemme just become blind for the next phase of this bossfight
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.
I also feel like this is something older folks get also.
Your reading glasses suck ass for watching stuff off in the distance.
The readers come off and nana is about to whoop your ass.
Didn’t know anyone had the hots for Chumer.
Chuck fantasizing he is Armstrong is too spicy a fantasy for Chuck.
As someone who actually wears glasses, this always makes me laugh. If things are getting intense, I’m gripping mine tighter, not tossing them aside. Movie logic is undefeated.
Takes out duct tape and does a tonsure wrap of tape around their head and ears
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.
Take off my glasses. Put on my safety glasses. Don’t care if those break, the company paid for them.
That’s why I always recommend double glasses.
