/bane/ - Baneposting

He gets hotheads outta here with a supposed 100% success rate.

>The DWP guy has never been successfully located by agents of any plan or size.

>It is rumored that the man who can locate him will "know what's down there".

>This was the hope of Folley, aptly named for his quest to locate the DWP guy for his own petty needs.

>He is also alleged to be the bearer of the esoteric secrets of the Flight Plan, the Master Plan, and possibly his own DWP plan.

>Proof of the esoteric nature of the DWP guy's location, is the out of the way location of his only explicit mention in TKKR: a passing reference in the post credit scene.

>His character is allegedly not explicitly portrayed because even Bravo Nolan "has not been able to successfully locate him"

A quick note about the term "hothead", that gets thrown around alot around here:

I think a lot of people on /bane/ have an incorrect view of this.

People understandably think that Folley is being insulting, using the dictionary definition of:

>a person who is impetuous or who easily becomes angry and violent.

A better way to look at it in the purposes of this scene is to use the analogy of computers.

A supercomputer needs more power than a laptop. With the added power, it is faster, but only because it is equipped for it.

But if you connected a supercomputer's power supply to a laptop, it wouldn't really get faster, it would just get hot.

Too much energy, not enough capacity to use it.

That is what a hothead is: one who spins his wheels, contemplating things that he has no business with and no way of figuring out.

When Folley says: "somebody get this hothead out of here", he isn't saying that insultingly.

He is genuinely concerned for the well being of a person who has far less capacity to be useful than to hurt himself in the attempt.

Ironically, Folley himself doesn't realize that he isn't up to the challenge in there.

It would take a high powered man with extremely good planning skills to locate the DWP guy and figure out "what's down there".

In that case, one of the things that was down there was Big Guy Bane!

If he couldn't discern that, what else was he probably missing? He was in way over his head, and the attempt might have even made his own head "hot".

In the "manhole segment" of the post-credit scene, what we are treated to is a scene where two woefully underqualified men try to discern secrets far above their planning level.

This gives an opportunity for the similarly uninitiated audience to get a glimpse of secrets such as the nature of the DWP guy.

It shows the genius of Bravo Nolan as a teacher - not just the conduit through which the Plane Scene flowed.

This is the post-credit scene at its finest - supplemental material that gives a glimpse of the hidden forces that were at play in the main feature - the Plane Scene
