That’s Amazing.

Although as stated by Ghost Leviathan, the Bernie Bro is the same sort of narrative Hillary folks like to put out to discredit her opponents like she did with Obama.

Why has this goddamn forum ended up being the epicenter for American politics since 9/11?

I think 4chan came into existence because of something that happened on these forums. We’re kind of responsible for quite a bit of real world stuff. At point at SA’s peak I think we were the 6th most trafficked site on the web. The paywall helped in a lot of ways too with regards to discussion/posting base as did a more strict moderation and as the goons grew up. Some Debate and Discussion posters are in legit political organizations and whatnot.

It's really hard to judge Leto because of how on the nose and fan fiction-y Batman and Joker's dialogue is. But his performance kind of reminded of Walter Goggins.

I think a Walton Goggins Joker would have been amazing. He’s a great actor and so much fun to watch,

Also the Leto Joker while not iconic like his predecessors is fine. Leto may suck himself but his Joker gets piled on unecessarily. It’s a fine interpretation but I think there’s something not quite natural or there is something artificial about his performance or energy. The other actors seem to channel an almost innate charisma into their performance and Leto isn’t transcendent like them to make the character. Maybe its also because unlike the other films he’s not written to be the focus

I think Leto also has this problem with his other roles but his best one was Lord of War, he felt more genuine in that

I’m also sad Amber Herd is a poo poo person because I really liked her Mera in JL and I think she makes a good heroine physically. The armor looks good on her.

By the hand of the right writer, actor and performance a scene between Darkseid and Joker having a conversation could have been interesting. Say Phoenix’s Joker and Darkseid.

TLJ is the best Star Wars film. Then the Prequels, then the OG trilogy. Force Awakens and RoS are the worst.

The Star Sapphire corps being all-female is just the cringest, and really telling that the whole story was Geoff Johns' idea apparently.

Each Lantern group has it's own Avatar. Ion, the Green Lantern's avatar, is a space whale. The Bull is the Red Latern's avatar symbolizing rage. The Star Sapphire Corps, which is all about love supposedly, is the Predator which looks like this....



On the one hand yes cringe on the other hand saying love is Predatory and being on one end of the spectrum (Green/Will being the center) I don't know if it was him thinking he's having a clever moment or what to come up with it but I don't know what Johns was trying to say, especially if the Sapphire Corps are all women.

I actually kind of like the idea of the spirit animals representing extreme manifestations of the represented emotion, and there's plenty of cases where love can give way to an unhealthy, predatory obsession. As far as Geoff Johns' stupid bullshit goes, I dont think it's his worst idea (and gives the Star Sapphires a more interesting edge than they'd have without)

The "all-female" part is just stupid though. Make Superman a Star Sapphire tia

The “overpowered” excuse is a fault of the limitations of the writer/creator and his/her lack of imagination. And if all superhero stories are just about a villain bashing a hero versus other stories that can be told then it doesn’t speak cool of the demands/expectations of the audience.

Besides, Barry was hit by a weapon and stopped and had to go through extraordinary lengths to reverse everything

I think the Hello Darkness interview was for BvS? I did see a video where Affleck goes through his filmography and talks about his experiences making the movies, and he was really enthusiastic talking about BvS and then his face just fell when JL came up.

E: ^^^^yeah, that one!

Was it? drat, I thought it was for JL.

Although it never had a chance to addressed in the movies, I believe the New Gods like Darkseid come from a realm outside of our universe. So the battlefield could have been some kind of other realm where the Gods reside. I think this also contributes to why Darkseid may not recall where Earth is because it's one of numerous universes his forces invade. Plus comedy option, trauma or hiding his embarassment. I think Snyder said something to the effect that very few who were there are now alive in the years since Darkseid's invasion so history is lost to time.
