I watched that Juctice League Gods and Monsters movie. It was alright. Stuff like people getting smooshed and Superman saying "orgasm" didn't seem necessary tho. Like they only did that stuff cause they weren't on TV anymore and nobody could say no. Also, lol at the big threat being Dr. Magnus doing the Human Instrumentality Project.

I'm gonna complain about justice league war. The first big thing that the Justice League does together is punch a bad guy a lot. At first they're all doing different stuff, working on the Mother Box mystery, but that gets dropped pretty quickly so they can all punch the bad guy. They punch him over and over again. They punch him in so many different ways. But then Superman gets captured! Because he's the best at punching, and Batman is the worst. Superman gets captures so he won't show up everyone else, and batman goes to rescue him so he won't be shown up by everyone else. while they're away, the punching continues, but is ineffective. That's when they come up with a new plan to beat the bad guy. Cut out his loving eyes. This is the plan the superheroes comes up with to save the world. Cut out a dude's loving eyes. And they do, they stab him in the eyes. Yay. and while I'm on that topic, the superheroes find out that the bad guys are innocent people turned into cyborgs. Not a single one of them even so much as idly wonders if they can be saved. The heroes just continue murdering them, the knowledge that they are killing slaves has zero effect on the behavior of the superheroes. Also, Cyborg is there. to press the off button. Oh no, he can't get a cell signal, how will this efffec- oh no, he got one, it's fine. Good thing they devoted so much of the running time to Cyborg, no one's favorite hero.

It's so dumb I had to double check the wikipedia plot synopsis to make sure I wasn't mis-remembering. Superman getting captured adds literally nothing to the plot, except to delay the ending. It really is just because the entire conflict with the villain is all punching, and Superman is too strong and Batman too weak. So they had to be somewhere else while the punching was going on, and could be brought back when it was time for the movie to end what a piece of poo poo.

Squizzle posted:I can only imagine what people from Chicago think about portrayals of their bullshit city and its terrible food. Anyway, all of that's not even getting down to places like, idk, St. Louis or Houston or Cleveland or whatever—places that most people don't have any strong idea of except as names on a map. Do they ever get reasonable portrayal? I honestly don't know, but I'm p. sure I can guess. There's a scene in Breaking Bad that takes place in Houston. It's mostly indoors, but at one point you get a good look outside a window, and it's like, the opposite of Houston. They pretty clearly just filmed in Albuquerque. The only time you see cactus in Houston is if it's somebody's ornamental prickly pear

Just watched Justice League Throne of Atlantis. Aquaman and Mera both have super strength, but Aquaman can talk to fish and Mera can loving control water. why is Aquaman in the Justice League instead of Mera? Her powers are so much better.

Aphrodite posted:Mera doesn't want to be in the Justice League. they didn't even invite her. But, the scene was set up with the Justice League talking about their plans and stuff, and then Superman says, "maybe we should invite Arthur" and then the camera moves and you see that Aquaman was standing ten feet away the whole time, so I guess it was kind of obvious that he wanted in

Also, upgrading "can talk to fish" to "can telepathically control fish" only matters if there was a problem with Aquaman telling fish to do stuff and the fish refusing. Were there situations where Aquaman was stymied by uncooperative fish?

just to be clear, I'm not arguing that Aquaman's powers suck, just that Mera's powers are not only much more impressive in general, but are specifically much more useful for someone who will regularly be called to do heroic things above sea level.

that's a good line-up, but all woman teams always seem gimmicky to me.Rhyno posted:The way it was always portrayed was she was only a little super strong and he was like, mega super strong. But Aquaman is only half Atlantean, and he grew up on the surface. He should be super weak, comparatively. Also, being able to control water is a power that more thank makes up for only having a little super strength

Rhyno posted:Him being a hybrid is what made him so powerful. And she could never really do much back in the day, make a water wall or a wave or some poo poo. if anything, Aquaman being a hybrid should just make him sterile. And making a wall of water is still more useful for surface heroics than telepathic control of fish. That just requires being close to a source of water, as opposed to in it, and isn't limited by the choice of fish available at the time. Nope, Mera is way better than Aquaman. I won't be moved.

OK, I'm not on the "Aquaman is lame" train, but it's difficult not to be when the example of him being great that you offer is Aquaman beating up the Wonder Twins

muscles like this? posted:It's one of those things that in retrospect is pretty obviously someone's fetish but back when it was made people didn't think/know about that stuff so it just looked like a weird cartoon. I think it was just a weird dumb idea. Kids like cars, kids like cool teens, why not both?! Maybe you look at Turbo Teen and think "wow, hard to believe that when we were little we didn't understand that this is erotic"

John Stewart owns, is one of the best characters in DC, and is literally the most powerful Green Lantern. Don't be fooled just because a lot of writers don't know how to write for him and just fall back on "ex-marine"

Obviously if someone emulated him they wouldn't have an author dictating everything work out, like how the Hulk never hurts anyone in his rampages when "if he were real" he'd leave scores dead in his wake. So what on earth is your actual point? If you admit that a IRL Punisher would kill innocent people, even if you think some dude just murdering random criminals is totally great and cool, you should be opposed to the idea of a IRL Punisher

I was objecting to the Chris Kyle comparison, or that he's bad character because Chris Kyle liked him, or because in one issue from decades he ago he tried killing someone for littering. That's it. Nothing else. WickedHate posted:Theoretically speaking if someone has intense urges to do violence and the like, Punisher-ing is a good direction to aim that in, assuming it's not racially or nationalistically motivated or something.
