Xealot posted:I'm genuinely curious who racist CHUDs would be more upset about, a black Superman or a black Batman. Black Nighthawk from the Marvel Knights Squadron Supreme was a radical Black man. And the pilot for M.A.N.T.I.S had Carl Lumbly's character paired with two AA "butlers" who were all about pan-african representation and pride.

Sucks total rear end that people will take the dogshit costuming of the MCU but then something like Birds of Prey comes along and they’re like “but I wanna see them in the classic costuuuuumes they’re not even the same characterrrrrs.”Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Chipman is a dead-ender turbolib who fully buys into clintonian technocracy, believes that anyone who doesn't live in an urbanized area is a deliverance-level dangerous hick regressive whose participation in democracy is the driving reason for all societal ills, and directly blames leftists for getting Donald Trump elected for not meekly falling into line behind dread abuela Hillary. Don’t forget the parts where he thinks that intelligence tests should be a requirement for voting and keeps dogwhistling at the idea of people in red states being genetically inferior and/or worthy of death. Nobody in Lefttube is willing to come out and openly condemn the guy because he follows them around like a sad puppy looking for a friend, but he’s not only an absurdly stupid dude who wrote an entire book about how Super Mario Bros 3 changed his life; he is, morally, a genuine monster. Just an utter piece of poo poo. Pirate Jet fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Dec 4, 2019 |

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I actually agree with you but then we're on the topic of how to make a satisfying narrative about a strong flying near-indestructible guy fighting society's issues. I'm not sure people want to see a 2 hour movie of Superman canvassing for Bernie. When I refer to Hancock as a sister-film to BVS, I mean it’s so close in theme as to be almost the same movie. But the key difference: where Superman dies (for our sins), Hancock ends up basically working for this lovey-dovey ‘green’ corporation - which, despite the lack of a metaphorically-psychopathic CEO character, is basically Lex Luthor’s goal for Aquaman and the gang. While his sidekick Bate-man did a lot to help, the company Hancock’s working for is a far greater threat than whatever cruel gangsters - precisely because it’s nice. As for how to make this interesting? The same way you make ‘Superman catching a plane’ interesting: make it so that reality doesn’t cooperate. How do you actually fight a corporation? You can punch the CEO, but they’ll just replace him - and now you’re public enemy #1. Immortality’s not going to help much with that.

McCloud posted:Fun Fact: Krypton had its own wakanda There was a weird trend of comic book writers at the time (being probably exclusively nerdy white guys) writing well-meaning separatist afro-futurist utopias. Vathlo is still sometimes used as a name for a part of Krypton. SuperMechagodzilla posted:When I refer to Hancock as a sister-film to BVS, I mean it’s so close in theme as to be almost the same movie.

Reminded how apparently the start of The Boys is about a Justice League counterpart fatally bungling a 'Superman catches a plane' scenario to the point of letting everyone die rather than salvage the situation because it's easier to handle PR with no surviving witnesses. I think the main message there is corporate superheroes are the worst possible idea. (And it should be noted that all the comic book versions of private sector superheroes who answer to a boss are known as 'supervillains') Hell, one of the underlying story threads of the Justice League cartoon is how becoming aloof and unanswerable is dangerous to the Justice League even if the government conspiracy to deal with them is worse, and they start making an effort to do more PR and establish the Hall of Justice as an earthbound embassy.

What the hell is up with these poo poo costumes in a superhero movie?" Costuming was never the MCU's strongest suit (  )I don't even know who Taskmaster was in the trailer.

Roman posted:he just said the complete opposite of that in a Men's Health interview, so that's up to DC The most bizarre move was not just putting him in Shazam! Like it was obviously supposed to be the same character, it's set in that universe and referencing those heroes, and even if they recast they're almost certainly going to redesign the suit so the lunchroom shot becomes anachronistic with anyone other than Cavill's specific character anyway. It's just weird to try and play it coy like maybe they might've been able to salvage the current DCEU but without Cavill but a different (but still effectively the same) Superman somehow.

That may have been tied to how many (if any) films he had left on his contract. Doing a cameo, no matter how brief, might have constituted one of the films left on his contract. Then again, the Superman cameo in Shazam was perfect just the way it was.

I've never read it and haven't found anyone else who's willing to subject themselves to it. The closest I found is that there's a Struggle Session episode about it, but it's Patreon-only and I don't actually like Struggle Session that much.

If Zack Snyder had directed Civil War, he'd have Frank Grillo turn into a real life, comic-accurate Rob Liefeld Crossbones, complete with Lucha mask and lovely pirate wifebeater.
