i enjoyed both
#western-series
cosmic onyx
hoary hawk
did you enjoy channing tatums performance
cosmic onyx
he was barely present in the movie
hoary hawk
so u didnt enjoy it?
cosmic onyx
if i recall something happened and he barely did anything
i mean i enjoyed the movie as a whole
i wasn't really there for channing tatum
i was there a goofy spy flick with colin firth and taron egerton
cosmic onyx
i feel like he does mostly stunt coordination nowadays in the us
main lion
I liked 2 more than 1 fate save for the lack of a scene as good as the church one
hoary hawk
i thought samuel jackson playing the villain he did
made for a very theatrical, enjoyable one
but i def didnt dislike 2
cosmic onyx
i should as my friend Sunny, he's a martial arts dude ehos going to school to be a stunt man, so he'd probably know more about jackie chan
hoary hawk
i honestly think villains in both movies was why I was genuinely interested in the movies
cosmic onyx
i also enjoyed Elton John in the second one
thorn sonnet
have you guys seen ip man?

@runic dirge I know we dropped this but I just had to say it
You can create a manga that does a story like Spiderverse but it wouldn't be nearly as good the movie
You just cannot, even if you're the most skilled mangaka on the planet
keen brook
Personally i did not enjoy watching Bird Box
mint kiln
I doubt you're alone
keen brook
From what iβve seen general audiences love it and critics pan it across the board
runic dirge
I'm aware of that youssef
the example I mentioned to red being the scene with morales and fat spiderman
the early scene where morales was trying to get faterman to teach him or whatever, and he was walking sideways up the building
my literal baby brain doesn't remember the details but I do remember that there was dynamic camera work
main lion
Country Roads is my weakness
Yeah it was hella long. I did get bored around the snowy area part
but then the fight at the end of that
brought me back in
I didnt really have an issue with her as a villain. Defo not as good as the villain from 1
but idk country roads coupled with the fact that
merlin was always my favorite character
and how much screen time he got in 2
like if I were to think about it objectively, 1 was definitely a better movie overall.
but 2 just had some shit I fucked with
Dragon Quest first 
Hmmm. I liked how it was done. It was VERY abrupt
but it was like
"holy shit these niggas dont play"
I didnt personally care much for her
I had 0 emotional investment in her so if she were relevant again, or if she kicked the bucket in a more dramatic way, if anything itd take screentime away from characters I care about more, or make the movie even longer
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I thought the
"hey Im on a date with some rich niggas and Im on the phone with you while you're giving me advice and everythings gucci then oof now you're dead"
was p interesting

Shazam trailer 2 should be out this month
January 19th
is what i'm hearing rn but don't take me word for it
also we might get the zak snyder cut this year
sage sleet
jason mamoa wants people to see it and now that jason and aqua man are warner bro's golden boys they gotta listen
and a lot of people want it bad
this could all be false but then again the movie is out in 4 months
unless it's delayed
regal root
Also really want WB to delay Shazam, just 2 months at least
regal root
EG
regal root
Just let it run it's course and try and salvage the situation
regal root
To me the smartest time to show it would probably be in August, right at the end of summer break and completely in the clear of EG
regal root
So I just checked, Spiderman 2 is out in July, think if they moved it to August Shazam could surpass it. I say that as someone who likes Tom Holland as Spiderman but Homecoming was really disappointing
sage sleet
far from home is july?
regal root
Yup
Just with the lukewarm reception the first one got I'm not seeing any real chance of the sequel being hyped up
sage sleet
Homecoming was good but there was a lot of good and bad parts
lot of things were very predictable
homecoming was very casual
just a sit down and watch tom holland movie
regal root
I'm just not a fan of how they used him in the first one, he felt like more of a side character in his own movie and RDJ was the star.
Though I suppose that was always the risk of happening since they hamfisted him into Civil War as opposed to him having his own movie and becoming established, then joining the Avengers later on
sage sleet
yeah he just seemed like the cool dude that swings
regal root
Will say this though, really interested in seeing what Gyllenhaal can do with Mysterio as a character
Unless I'm mistaken, this is actually his first live action appearance ever
sage sleet
I'm not familiar with his other work so idk tbh
grave robin
I cannot wait for the spider verse sequel

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=dcfilm0617.htm @sage sleet They did it, they fucking did it. The mad men topped actually Wonder Woman for the highest grossing DCEU movie and are currently at 846.3 million in a little more than 2 weeks. I could cry man, I'm so fucking happy.
slender orchid
sage sleet
that's actually so good
1 million here we come

Some people are pissed aqua man is doing so good
It's doing so well in china
they extended how long it's in theaters
February 6th
grave robin
well if a movie is quality they deserve to be financially stable
regal root
Alb did you see? Aquaman surpassed WW in the box office! It's now the highest earning DCEU to date and is on pace to break 1 billion!
The fact that is realistically could surpass the Dark Knight as the highest earning DC movie ever is astonishing to me, so damn happy. The DCEU is finally back on track
regal root
I demand you go see that at your earliest convenience so that you can return here and we might geek out over both it and it's success
sonic quail
I mean
Ive never lied about having my finger on the pulse
And maybe buc
I usually just pirate π
regal root
Oh dude, this is one of those movies you need to see in theaters
sonic quail
Said that about spiderverse but that cam was in good quality π©π© dont judge me
regal root
Specifically an IMAX one because the visuals will absolutely floor you
sonic quail
But tbh my car is down and busing out here stops at 6pm and no weekends
regal root
Well walking is healthier for you
I mean it's your money/time and you're more than entitled to do with it what you will, but you have to see this movie
sonic quail
Buc i live in central wisconsin
Im not freezing for jason momoa
Its cold as hell out here. The icicles have icicles
regal root
Maybe you'll get hot and bothered seeing Jason Momoa shirtless and that'll counteract the cold π€·

Fair enough, but please go see it somehow. It's really good
sonic quail
Oh dw ill see it eventually
sage sleet
Go see it or you're toast
Also @sonic quail
What's today
Pretty sure YJ is the 13th
Checked yesterday
regal root
Is tumblr on it's deathbed yet? Probably will be soon since it killed a significant reason people bothered going on that site.
sage sleet
I thought it was today too
I mean hey
could be wrong I'll look rn
I fucking hate the site I use to watch things
whenever I wanna watch a new series it dies
regal root
That's what I'm saying though, I am convinced that a significant amount of people who went to that site were doing it for porn
grave robin
Where can I watch it
regal root
DC started their own streaming service but if you don't want to buy it you could always wait a few hours until someone records and pirates it
sonic quail
Im jealous of fagu
Not only did he find out that yj is coming back but he found out the day its comes out
Nvm 
regal root
Was about to say, it would be odd if DC only offered their streaming service to peeps in the US
sonic quail
I wonder why they do that
Man
Yj is finally here
I remember being so sad it was gone
2019 just might that bitch ππ©π₯
regal root
Oh yeah, 2019 is gonna be nutty for DC. You already have Aquaman that's still fresh in theaters making bank, you got Shazam in a couple months, and then 5 different animated movies coming out. Also the CW Batwoman show but usually anything CW related is trash so we'll see what happens
regal root
There is gonna be a Batman movie, Wonder Woman movie, JL movie, and TT movie
regal root
Not sure about the others but the Superman movie comes out the Tuesday after next
regal root
Oh shit, how did I forget about the live action Doom Patrol, that's another DC thing
sage sleet
joker is this year
regal root
Yeah but that's not really a DC thing if that makes sense, it's like it's own thing
regal root
Also you want to hear something exciting I just learned?
Titans has been renewed for a 2nd season
regal root
So outside of the live action Doom Patrol (that is coming out next month) they are gonna have a live action Swamp Thing in May, a live action Stargirl show in August (she's a lesser known character), and they're doing an animated Harley Quinn show in November.
regal root
He's pretty much the good guy version of Poison Ivy, though some of his actions might make him closer to an Anti Hero
At least that's my assumption
He's buds with Constantine and a member of the JL Dark
sage sleet
I'm 100% down for that
I'm gonna give every show a chance
I was very pleased with titans so maybe these will be good
doom patrol looks nice
the characters were funny in titans
and cyborg and crazy jane look fun
regal root
So I was reading up on Crazy Jane, dude this girl is lowkey busted
sage sleet
16 abilities was it?
regal root
More than that, it's like every personality she has has a different power
regal root
So apparently it's not every personality that has an ability, but it looks like most of them do
Grant Morrison is a straight goon in the comics world, really hope he comes out and says what all her abilities are
sage sleet
I'm excited for her
I'm more excited for cyborg
he doesn't look all gloomy
hope he's that booyah cyborg we all love
regal root
So I just read something kinda sad about Stargirl
Apparently Geoff Johns created the character back in the 90s as a tribute to his sister who died in a plane crash. That's both really sweet and very sad.
regal root
Yup yup
I would love it though if they did a JL Dark show, get the guys who did Stranger Things on it.
grave robin
I want a Martian Manhunter series
regal root
That would be a smash hit, don't know why he doesn't get more love. He's pretty much the martian version of Superman

So I watched a video by this dude Chuck on youtube
"Debunking" the screwattack video
Death Battle between Doctor Strange and Doctor Fate
Goddamn this dude is retarded
leaden depot
Taking Death Battle so seriously that you make a video complaining about it
fading cedar
And then he's wrong about half the shit he says
It's a 10 minute video, I think? And I watched the first like 3
None of what this dude said was right lmao
leaden depot
10/10
fading cedar
And his comment section is jerking him off so hard
Like he was saying some revolutionary shit lmao
grave robin
mind explaining what he said was wrong
I am not good at marvel(I specialize in DC)
so please explain what he got wrong @fading cedar
fading cedar
I left a comment on th video for the first couple of minutes
In one bit, he says Doctor Fate should be disqualified because he has another entity in his helmet helping him
Or, they should've let Doctor strange call on other gods and beings to help him as well to make it fair
Except
Doctor Fate is the sum of that entity and a host
So that's fuckin dumb
The fight is Doctor Strange vs Doctor Fate
Not Doctor Strange vs Kent Nelson
Doctor Fate is Nabu channeled through a human host, that's what he's always been, so Doctor strange shouldn't be allowed any help because that's actual outside help
Let's see...I forget the rest
He compared the Helmet of Nabu's travel from the Earth to the end of the universe and back as a apseed feat to Doctor Strange hopping dimensions
Like legit compared them, it's like saying a dude who ran a mile is slower than a dude who just opened the back door
I'm watching it a bit more now
He's also saying the unbound spectre is right up there in power with Michael and Lucifer, even though they're both objectively stronger and at least one of them has shown it before
He also called him unbound for some reason, even though the spectre very much had a host at that time
It's not even that he's getting too many facts or references wrong, it's mostly just his opinion on everythign that happens is just blatantly wrong wtf why do people keep watching him
sonic quail
U say as u watch him π
grave robin
wait did he claim specre fucking spectre
was equal tO MICHAEL AND LUCIFER
that is so wrong OMG
as a DC fan I nearly had a heart attack
fading cedar
Albair, I'm watching to complain more
people unironically follow him
Yeh squid, the spectre is strong enough to give them a damn goood fight sure
and has against Michael multiple times
But he was talking about the fucking bound spectre

I always say this to dragon scalers
stick to Dragon Ball
please thats what your good at

it's really good
Not as good as Justice league and Justice league unlimited but it's great

Ahh, JL and JLU. My nostalgia boner is at full attention right now. Wish more cartoons nowadays could be like them.
sage sleet
you can't get much better than those 2
sonic quail
Oh im on the dc site
grave robin
we all know the best cartoon is the 90's Batman the animated series
that shit was so good it won emmy's
sonic quail
Superman too
grave robin
its sad the dude that made the superman show so good died
sage sleet
I didn't say batman because it goes without saying
regal root
Oh yeah, Batman is the greatest cartoon show ever made
grave robin
really gave beloved characters a new layer of depth
and Mr. Freeze came from the animated series
in fact his episode was so good it won an award
regal root
They messed up with Mr. Freeze, literally all he wanted to do was save his wife. They made him too sympathetic and honestly, it made Batman look like the bad guy.
sage sleet
They did great with the robins and batgirl
grave robin
and Mr. Freeze boss that screwed him over got arrested
really sympathetic people can commit crimes
and yes they were tryna to do their best out of the sad situation
but they committed a crime so batman has to apprehend them
its such a well written and amazing episode
grave robin
@regal root sometimes sympathetic people commit crimes
Mr. Freeze wanted to save his wife
but how he did it was questionable
and so needed to be stopped
regal root
Didn't say they didn't, I just feel like they made him too sympathetic
grave robin
I think thats the point
he was sympathetic to the point of really questioning if he was a bad guy
but again he committed a crime
sage sleet
reminder killercroc put batman into a headlock proving batman is WEAK
grave robin
thats great writing
really gives a moral dilemma to children who watched this episode
@sage sleet woah you clearly didn't know that Killer Croc frequently exercises
grave robin
I mean
Killer Croc is really strong
leaden depot
Batman animated series 
sage sleet
qt would want me to
fuck
so I'm looking on the dc streaming service and I look through the shop
they have the original JL members figures
and fucking aquaman is there
aquaman aint one of the originals
get home boy out
also never mind
I was disabled
I just had to do a drop down
grave robin
I wish Netflix had the batman animated series
regal root
Be nice if the original Killer Croc from the animated series actually looked croco like
sage sleet
that would be so bad
assuming it was good
people would legit kill people for more of it
we'd have riots
grave robin
but the animation would be so quality
sage sleet
I'd like more but I wouldn't want it everywhere
grave robin
remember when Miles was chased by the Prowler that so good
grave robin
which little brother
grave robin
what do you mean beyond gone
sage sleet
he only cares about himself
people always say that's just what 13 year olds do but no
I wasn't that way
my friends weren't
other 13 year olds I see aren't
grave robin
has your middle brother gotten therapy
sage sleet
nope
w're low-middle class
even then they buy him whatever he wants whenever he wants
grave robin
does he have a counselor at school
sage sleet
I believe so
grave robin
so like other than the horrific behavior he showed at his younger brother
what else does he do that irritates you and or causes harm to loved ones
sage sleet
he only looks out for himself, he steals, lies
there's way more
he's just overall a piece of shit
grave robin
wow
well I hope your family situation gets better
and please for the love of god keep your brother away from the youngest
no child should need to grow up with fear of their siblings beating them
sage sleet
thanks man
I do
that's a big reason why I haven't moved out
on my 20th birthday I took my family out to get some food and the middle one tripped the youngest because he didn't get what he wanted
he almost hit his head on the edge of a wall
grave robin
its one thing to rough house(with people your age and of your strength(my brother and I use to))
but beating and hurting those so much younger and weaker is unacceptable
I am so sorry that happened
your youngest brother should have a happy and loving childhood and not live with a monster of a brother
sage sleet
when that happened I was like wtf do I do
like I can't move out until my mom works less
but it'll get better soon
he's one of those people that will only do things if it benefits him
grave robin
I hope it gets better
how old is he
5 6 or something
no one that young should feel fear that your brother will beat you
sage sleet
5
I once beat the shit out of the middle one because he punched the youngest on the head 3 times
grave robin
he is 5 years old
wow
he's not even my brother and I feel furious
that's 13 years of living with fear that someone that should love you will physically harm you
I pray that your youngest brother has a lovely childhood
sage sleet
good thing he'll only have to deal with it for 5 more years
thanks man
means a lot to me
grave robin
have you thought of taking the sibling out of the household to take him away from your middle brother
I know its alot
sage sleet
I have
but I still live in the same house
I'm gonna make my mom see his bullshit
I've told her multiple times he would kill the youngest in a heartbeat if it meant he could keep watching anime in his room
grave robin
your mother needs to see this
has he ever beaten the younger brother in front of your father or mother
sage sleet
he yells at him and pushes him in front of them
my mom is soft on him
dad too
when they punish him it's like
5 minutes
grave robin
didn't you mention that mother and father were far more strict with you
sage sleet
yeah
I used to get the shit beat out of me
parents would take my phone away for weeks if my brother did something wrong
grave robin
like would they slap you spank you
you don't need to answer of course
sage sleet
slap
hit
the works
also i'd recommend watching YJ whenever you can
this new season is wew
grave robin
oh ok
grave robin
my mother never used corporal punishment
mostly time outs
my father punished me with exercise
also yeah I am totally gonna watch s3 of Young Justice
sage sleet
My brother doesn't get much
looks like they've dropped the physical punishments all together
but you'll like it
grave robin
They probably shouldn't have done it in the first place
my mother when she was a child was beaten a lot for the tiniest things
so yeah
she never used corporal punishment for me or my older brother
sage sleet
Yeah sucks that is happened but I think it helped me as a person
I'll never lay a hand on my kids
besides a simple spanking as a kid
like hitting their hands away
to the point it doesn;t hurt
I think it's made me peaceful
grave robin
also I have a very old fashioned philosophy
if you hit someone and they hit you back
then you must be willing to fight
for those who ask to harm their child without their child fighting back that is cowardly and weak
if you gonna hit anyone
then you must accept a response
sage sleet
yeah that shits whack
grave robin
I bet when the blue ray comes out the errors will be fixed
grave robin
how was the writing
sage sleet
so far it's really good

you excited for the blue beetle movie?

@sage sleet seriously another season of 90's batman would be insane
like if it got revived
one of the best shows of all time
sage sleet
I'd say yes 100% but my problem would be the animation
cosmic onyx
here's to hoping
sage sleet
there's one in development
i'm hopeful especially since aquaman was great and did superb
cosmic onyx
oh God
i didn't enjoy aquaman
i liked jason momoa
but the dialogue felt very rough

dr. fate movie when
cosmic onyx
i understand the decisions they made with the camera work, especially to make it seem more comic book-like
i would love a dr fate movie
that would be cool as hell

the only two movies i really want like severely are Dr. Fate and Gambit
wooden swift
that would be fun
sage sleet
I've been asking for a dr fate movie forever
wooden swift
Ive kind of become desensitized with comic movies lately ngl
i remember when I was younger that youd have MAYBE two comic movies a year, now its like 6
sage sleet
I love them so much
I'm really glad they're giving directors full control now
wb has was blinded by money
sage sleet
I don't mind a lot of comic book movies coming out
I want more tbh
I just want quality
grave robin
also the comic book genre has been steadily gaining more money

steadily? I'd say its booming at this point, borderline volatile

I'm 2 episodes in and I like how they're getting closer to the actual Outsiders group. They purposely have shown focus on Jefferson and even showed Lynn. The rift between Dinah and Ollie was written well. I thought they'd forget the mentorship with Kaldur. I didn't see the Will/Artemis thing coming. That is her brother, so they had to get used to each other 1 day. He probably comes through because she's alone due to Wally's death. Jefferson's struggle with his abilities is usually connected to his old age or emotions. I think it might be because he killed the kid and not the old age shit. When he hit that rock underwater, I felt that. Brion wanted his powers, now he's about to get em. He needs to stop bitchin and get this tar
ivory egret
Yeah, I just didn't see it coming so early
ivory egret
Finally finished Iron Fist 2. Now I can watch Daredevil S3
boreal surge
Static shock?
boreal surge
No more marvel shows after dd s3 :/
ivory egret
It started off way better than S1, but once Danny lost the Fist, they fumbled. It was an up and down game when it came to quality of pacing and setup.
Ex - Colleen should of got more of the narrative, but it was filled with Danny's inaction and mental struggle. In the end, she got the Fist and it didn't impact as it should.
The actor for Danny isn't bad, it's how they write him. I love story more than action scenes and i'm usually the last to complain about action scenes, but it lacked the action scenes and the scenes that did appear lacked in quality.
I did like the end tho. Colleen should get the Daughters of the Dragon series with Misty. The Orson hint was dope too

dark knight was 1.02 right?
and it helps a ton that it's getting extended times in theaters
in china at least

Wait, if it's been out like 3 weeks and it's already hit 940 mil then it's averaging 300+ a week isn't it?

wow wow wow
at this rate it could easily end up in the top 20
honestly I don't even care anymore
like after I heard it made 750 mil I was like yeah
we're set
now we're this far?
I don't know what to say
regal root
Dude I might legit cry if that happens, been waiting for DC to be relevant for so long.
In live action I mean
sage sleet
It should be great
this isn't the fan boy in me
I just think the DC heroes are better
marvel just has the set up and the good writing
great synergy among each other
regal root
They really are, they are heavier hitting than most Marvel heroes because they try harder to place them in a real life setting
I mean with respect to the fact that a story and characters are only as good as their writers, I just think it's an objective fact the DC has better characters than Marvel for the most part. Like you can do more with them
sage sleet
marvel characters are either set to reel in normal people or be literal gods
I phrased that poorly
regal root
I mean they have 3 of the top 5 most iconic superhero characters ever, which includes the most popular female superhero ever made and the 2 most popular male superheroes ever made
sage sleet
are the top 5 batman, superman, wonder woman, iron man, captain america?
regal root
This might surprise you, but from what I've found remove IM and Cap and replace them with Spiderman and Wolverine
regal root
Right?
regal root
I mean Spidey has a cool design and Wolverine has cool powers but you're talking about IM and Cap not being top 5? It's crazy
They're both top 10 but still
sage sleet
I could maybe possibly see spiderman but not wolverine
I mean
I even liked wolverine when I watched the movies
I'm looking at a list of marvel heroes rn and man
imo there's only like 3 or 4 I like over other DC heroes
doctor fate>>> doctor strange
regal root
Personally I like DS a bit better, but reading up on it Fate is lowkey busted
sage sleet
I like doctor strange a lot because of the movies
ivory egret
I think Spiderman is more popular than IM easily, but Cap is a ? for me. I think Spidey edges Cap by a little, but I can't say it confidently. Cap has been around longer
sage sleet
otherwise it's DF for me
regal root
BC was fantastic
sage sleet
BC?
regal root
Benedict Cumberbatch
regal root
He nailed Dr. Strange
regal root
Well I'm sure now they do thanks to RDJ
But apparently not as much as you would expect from the comic fans
sage sleet
ah that's true
I really hope the major success of aquaman opens wb's eyes
like I have a big feeling shazam is gonna be good but I question how much freedom the director has
I didn't look into it
and there is the whole same month as end game thing
regal root
You know what I really hope? There is a certain movie that they have planned but I don't think they have a director yet. You know what movie I would love to see them bring James Wan back to direct?
sage sleet
what
sage sleet
green lantern movie would be too fucking clean
he has amazing potential
I want black GL more
regal root
If he fucking did what did with Aquaman, oh God I can only imagine how much fun he could have in space
John Stewart
regal root
It's like J'onn J'onzz
ivory egret
John has the most personality from what i've seen. The idea that has been going around is the duo. I just don't know the 2 that they'd go with
regal root
Yeah I've head the idea might be a kinda buddy cop thing with John and Hal, I could dig it
Guy Gardner is who you're thinking of
regal root
Kyle Rayner would also be kinda cool
regal root
ivory egret
Kyle was in the Super Man AS
regal root
He turns into kind of a spectrum lantern in a story, White Lantern. IIRC he was busted
sage sleet
as long as we end up seeing other lanterns i'm more than down
regal root
I'd just love to see Hal and Star Sapphire go toe to toe, that's lowkey been one of my favorite hero-villain romances
ivory egret
My lil brother reads the comics and I don't. He won't shut up about her getting a movie.
sage sleet
I might pay for the dc streaming service to actually read the comics
or I'll read a ton in the next 5 days because I have it free until then
oh I also wanna see a question and huntress movie
I wonder if they'd consider redoing the story line
so it just flat out ignores justice league
prolly not because they already mentioned stephenwolf in aqua man
regal root
Indeed, still holding out hope that the Flash movie in 2021 is Flashpoint and that they do a soft reboot
sage sleet
hope they listen to fans
don't make flash a bitch
that whole "I only redirect people" bullshit had me screaming
ivory egret
Ever since JL, I wanted Question and Huntress. Solo movies 1st tho
regal root
Question would be cool, do a neo noir kinda deal
ivory egret
maaaaaan, yes
sage sleet
tell me question movie wouldn't be straight heat
sage sleet
investigating lex, future league members, injustice league etc
ivory egret
Crime Thriller
regal root
Yeees
ivory egret
Same for Huntress, but more Mafioso
regal root
Sorry to go off topic but I read something interesting a while back, did you know there is a continuity where the Huntress we know isn't Huntress, but Bruce Wayne's daughter?
regal root
Have them go solo first then team up
ivory egret
pre League
sage sleet
It would be cool to see question have files on a bunch of metas
like he knows their identities and shit yknow?
like in his computer you see fire and all her details and he just has a fat folder
regal root
You also need to have him damn near equal Bruce in intelligence
ivory egret
Just lacks in resources as usual, but def smarter
regal root
I don't like the idea of someone being his equal, Bats is "The World's Greatest Detective", I'd like to think a reason for that would be that he's super smart.
Like smarter than most everyone
regal root
There are both shadowy figures in their own right
sage sleet
batman has the whole fear behind his name
you hear question you keep walking
I want a basic set up in heroes for dc
get your core leaguers
get your jlu fuckers
then keep going
regal root
Yup Yup
sage sleet
my updated list is now b'wana beats, static shock, teen titans, question, huntress
would slade get his own movie? probably not
he'd be the teen titans villain
regal root
Yeah, probably not him
sage sleet
isn't b'wana beats's big bad starro
regal root
Would love to see a live action Judas Contract though
sage sleet
yeah something like that would be sick
tera would be the start to slade
like the show
sage sleet
slade?
regal root
That smooth mofo who voiced Slade in TT would literally be perfect to play him in live action, like all you need to do it give him an eye patch
regal root
I swear dude
sage sleet
who would you want to be in the teen titans
if you want the judas one then ik
because me I'd personally want robin, star fire, raven, beast boy, cyborg
that's core
and if i'm being greedy then add static and blue beetle
kid flash if I'm pushing
and of course tera
regal root
I'd like if it stayed as close to the original as possible is possible. That would mean the core as well as Kid Flash and Donna Troy (I believe she was in there)
It would extremely interesting watching a highly competent mercenary like Deathstroke pick off a group of mostly super powered teens one by one.
Not sure how I'd feel about the pedo stuff but it is what it is
sage sleet
pedo stuff is a no go
100%
that was so weird in the movie
i'd prefer a father daughter thing
regal root
I mean, it is somewhat accurate to the source, Tera had a lady boner for Slade but it just felt like he was manipulating her the whole time
sage sleet
also do you mean closest to the original in judas?
regal root
Believe so yeah, I haven't read the original comics
sage sleet
If they do make this movie then I for sure want the father daughter thing
regal root
Of that one
regal root
Cyborg was there iirc
sage sleet
not in contract
or any of those animated movies
he's been league for years
personally i'd rather have mr terrific be the big black brains or hardware
regal root
Yeah in the New 52, not in the orginal
sage sleet
tho idk who or what hardware does
regal root
You know what would be nutty though, it would be cool seeing Dick drop the guise of Robin and become Nightwing in live action.
I still need to binge season 1 of Titans so I don't know if he has done it yet
But seeing it in a TT live action movie would be cool
regal root
Please
sage sleet
and a real emphasis on teen
regal root
I need 1 live action Batman and Robin movie, a good one
I'd prefer teen Robin but I would be okay if it was adult one, just like 2 old friends back in action
Live if you did a Batman movie and modeled it after the Arkham games, that would make a killing
sage sleet
absolutely
I have high hopes for the future of movies
they have so much they can work with
sage sleet
yuh
sage sleet
I'll admit
the soundtrack is what I paid the least amount of attention to
Also I wonder if the injustice league movie is true
this sounds so good
now I remember it
regal root
Ohhh yeah, gosh damn does orchestral music and superhero movies just go together like PB&J or what?
regal root
No u π
sage sleet
fuck now I wanna go see it again
regal root
I don't know about you but I would've preferred if they hadn't used any insert songs and just kept it orchestral the whole time. The song at the end was fine, but that Pitbull song in the middle? That can go in the trash where it belongs
Also that weird ass Africa cover
main lion
TOTO AFRICA
regal root
Personally I like it but only the original, it's kinda been memed out lately thanks to South Park
dusk mesa
Damn
sage sleet
think i'm gonna rewatch wonder woman
wait
suicide squad didn't come out in china lmao
regal root
It didn't? Well that would explain why it did average at the box office
Don't get me wrong, it was a below average movie imo but it had some decent fights
sage sleet
dead shot and amanda waller were actually really good
like amazing
but besides that uh oh
also the seven deadly sins are gonna be in shazam
I guess that's the main group
dim hedge
Young Justice
LUL
Lex Luthor: Got a kid that has superpowers? Sell them to the government to be experimented. I gurantee you they will be "treated" well and "trained"
Fuck the Justice League and be like me. sell metahumans and let the money rain
grave robin
Young justice can get very dark
sage sleet
I like how they don't really show all the justice league heroes
I wish I could no more about each member
especially the new ones
wooden swift
Anyone excited for Brooklyn 99 this week
sonic quail
No
wooden swift
I'll take what I can get
deep grail
BRUH! I'M LATE! BUT BROOKLYN 99!!!!!
sage sleet
I'm like 3 seasons behind
karmic barn
Do you watch Luther?
sage sleet
I do not
sonic quail
sonic quail
sage sleet
Staying for the credits this time
crimson lance
she wouldnt survive A quiet place
regal root
She really wouldn't, she'd knocked into shit and get eaten unless she had someone who was guiding her.
deep grail
@regal root "She really wouldn't, she'd knocked into shit and get eaten unless she had someone who was guiding her."
I'm WEAK!
regal root
Lul, it's true though. In fact I think she could accurately be labeled as a potential meat shield for when shit gets dicey.
ivory egret
When people post comic book pages and I read right to left smh
As interesting as the war between BC and MHA fans is, nothing is better than watching Marvel and DC fans go back and forth
People actually pick sides when it comes to Marvel and DC
How can you like DC, but nothing Marvel or vice versa
main lion
Because the marvel movies are higher quality than DC ones
ivory egret
"It's bigger than Nino Brown"
Marvel and DC don't just consist of movies
DC runs tv
Marvel runs the movies easily
Comics, idk
Games, it's been going back and forth for a while, so
recently Marvel, but overall DC
Either way, to like Aquaman, but not like any other Marvel movie or show is crazy
sage sleet
If you liked aquaman but hate the dc movies you have issues
you don't have to like everyone but
marvel runs live action movies
DC has animation and tv on lock
marvel has the live action movies down
I wish DC had the same buildup as marvel
wait
I meant if you liked aquaman but hate marvel movies
shit I still semi enjoyed dc movies
regal root
I'd say DC has the edge in comics but I'd need to see the sales. Marvel has been dealing with some PR problems the last year + due to a lot of their major titles either being too "woke" or being written/drawn by SJWs
ivory egret
Comics were started based on social justice tho. I never understand that complaint. Maybe there's certain social issues that people don't care for
regal root
There is a difference though between legit issues in society and talking points being trumped up to be social issues.
regal root
Batman
Well technically One Piece but I get what you're saying
Highest selling American comic series is Batman
ivory egret
Superman is THE SJW lol
regal root
That's a hot take if I've ever heard one
sage sleet
is one piece just the king of sales
you know what kinda dc movie would be nice
imo
a death of superman type movie
but the focus wouldn't really be superman himself
it would focus on the rise of metas
like a bunch of teens, young adults, adults reading the paper and crying
then they realize they gotta do what superman did and be a hero
something like that
@regal root @ivory egret thoughts?
ivory egret
I think they're afraid to kill Superman and not bring him back
The idea is great tho. True inspiration to get smaller characters to shine
regal root
So kinda like Reign of the Superman with Henry Irons but just x a shit ton of meta humans?
Cocky iconic superheros never stay long...well not too long. They had Barry Allen dead in the comics for like 20 years+ and just brought him back in the last year or 2.
sage sleet
yeah
regal root
That would be both interesting and potentially chaotic.
sage sleet
yeah
I think It would be more of a slice of life movie if that makes sense
but with metas
daily lives and shit
regal root
Hmm, be a bit difficult to incorporate super humans in a slice of life. I'm guessing your idea would be that they would use their abilities outside of crime fighting?
ivory egret
I like the idea. My thoughts is that the studio is afraid to do it
regal root
Well fear might not be the best word, but you're talking about mixing slice of life with super humans motivated by Superman's death. It's a very odd combo and I'm not sure it could work
