The "toxic masculinity" line bit sucks but I like Luthor's cynicism and projection in the last couple of paragraphs.

maybe it's just the last ~20 years of DC Comics but I've never really seen Themiscyra as a paradise, despite the other name it goes by Even putting aside the Wakanda-y "gently caress the rest of the world as long as it's great here" angle, and certain questions about where new Amazons come from that may have been retconned into something comically awful, they're still carrying water for the Greek gods and shun the rest of the world to the point where they still Hellinistic poo poo is the peak of art it can't be THAT good over there.

I don't know how you are reading "incel" from that. 1st lex would be volcel and 2nd that reads like one of those toxic male feminist types.

Isn't Floyd basically writing from the perspective that John is a cop which, you know, is accurate because he's a Green Lantern?

He’s a marine, an architect, and a space cop, who beats people with the power of his imagination. They did a lot to make him hateable without making him a bad person.

chaosapiant posted:For me, the Conroy thing was never some kind of lovely ploy to have a bad send off for Conroys Batman. It’s just something that, now in retrospect, is kinda sad and a little disheartening. I don’t blame Rocksteady, it’s just unkind circumstances. yeah and honestly, he is still one of the best parts of a weirdly solid/game. he is evil batman but not stupid joker version. its genuinly scary kinda. as for it being arkhamverse, yeah it sucks how its gonna end but i kinda admire the spine of it. You the player probably grew up with this batman, this batman is one of your favorites possibly, and your seeing him twisted into a monster, you give a poo poo because of that.

It’s not a Top Dog/Under Dog or Fences, but people are treating it as if rocksteady wrote it from a neutral perspective. yeah, i feel like people really really really want to hate this game for not being batman and of course the twitter types are looking for any kinda of "actually its evil and bigoted" as a moral highground, its loving weird. like i like the game a bunch so far, way way more then i thought i would and i do think their is poo poo to crap on it about, but its not some secret nazi game Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Feb 2, 2024 |

The game is very liberal which is a type of nazi. Edit: the concept of the Suicide Squad in of itself is very fascistic. Forcing criminals to do a job you expect them to be killed doing or you kill them? The program reminds me of the inmate firefighters Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Feb 2, 2024 |

With SS being in the Arkhamverse, is it a genuine continuation, or is it some kind of Else Worlds/Other Dimension version of those characters, so that the characters from the original Arkham games remain untouched?

As far back as Arkham Origins, the question of canon as far as those games goes has been kinda a moot point It was a nice little trilogy that had a pretty definitive ending. Nothing that Sunset Overdrive Brainiac Edition or "what if we glued Destiny onto Arkham" matters all that much I'm honestly curious about that Wonder Woman game that's in the pipeline more than anything. Specifically, is it just going to be new God of War starring Diana? Because that'd be pretty dull

Honestly, basically everything about the Perez-era Wonder Woman is back in canon other than the clay origin. For all people crowed about how revolutionary the New 52 run was, it seems like no-one has any interest (rightly so) in keeping most of the changes.

Deadshot is an rear end in a top hat who became an assassin for the thrills. He’s not someone I would ever associate with giving a poo poo about America Racism. (Though he’s also weird cause Rocksteady decided to retcon him despite him showing up in two previous games as a different character)
