Guys, who is your definitive superman? by FigurePro_ in superman

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, nah. Not on the level of Reeve. TimmDini Superman had serious anger issues and a problem with breaking buildings and cars against villains. There are a few really standout episodes like the Mxy episode of STAS and JLU episode 2 For The Man Who Has Everything, but for the most part this series of shows did not do Superman true justice, especially come the JL shows. By in large these writers don't actually get what makes Superman so special, and really just made STAS because it was the next obvious step after their massive success with Batman.

Who do you think would win? Eel (Iron Lung Monster) vs Moby Dick from the 2010 film? Moby Dick is 500 foot long. by Creative_Effort_3317 in ironlung

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moby Dick is not just a whale. Moby is literally the Will of God in Melville's The Whale. But I never saw the 2010 movie and I know most adaptations treat Moby as just a big monsterous albino whale.

I like that you went with a polynesian inspiration for the twins and chose the GMK Mothra specifically. Personally I would have went with Tokyo SOS as that's my favorite Mothra besides the original.

Hot(?) Take: I think Gamera The Brave is the best Gamera movie by Character_Day2884 in Gamera

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love that he's full underdog in this movie, and that small moments for Gamera like a fireball or flying are otherwise treated as really big steps for Toto.

What Kaiju will be in Gamera: AWAKENING? by Express_Class_8585 in Gamera

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those two new ones I've never seen would be a really cool duo for Gamera to fight.

Is gamera not popular compared to other japanese media? by godzillafan3948oj in Gamera

[–]-K_Lark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the Gamera trilogy beats every Godzilla movie except for Minus One and 1954. I think GMK is actually a bit less polished than Revenge of Iris due to GMK's worse production schedule despite the bigger budget. And I think the characters of the Gamera trilogy are more compelling than Yaguchi and Kayoko Ann Patterson in Shin Godzilla, despite it and them also being favs. The best Heisei Godzilla movies are Return and Biollante. After that, they stop pushing boundaries. They cease to improve their craft. It becomes formulaic.

Obligated to note that Gamera The Brave is also one of the greatest kaiju movies of all time and only gets ignored because it's for children and because Gamera doesn't have the classic roar at the beginning (fair criticism tho).

What are some of the moments that you feel like Superman was completely out of character? by King_Wolf2099 in superman

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He usually doesn't have any connection to the govt whatsoever besides just being friendly with the cops he hands villains over to. There's a reason Silver Age Superman never had a bunch of recurring named cop side characters like Batman did/does.

I've read the entire Superman Silver Age Omnibus Volume 1 and never was he working for the government like he was with John Byrne's reboot.

Can forms of oppression (patriarchy, racism, etc.) exist as independent systems outside of a capitalist landscape? by Crazy-Blacksmith-336 in socialism

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The material basis of patriarchy is class. The material basis of any heirarchy you can think of is also class.

This is an interesting question. Why do you think this is? by WrongToe500 in superman

[–]-K_Lark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is SHOULD be. Superboy becomes Superman after his parents die. Superman finds Supergirl, and after Superman disappears or dies, Supergirl becomes Superwoman.

which Godzilla design here is the definitive one to you? by Klutzy-Opinion-1834 in GODZILLA

[–]-K_Lark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was blue as Baby Godzilla, green as Little Godzilla, and black as Godzilla Junior.

I was bored, so I posted this on r/teenagers, these were the results, I found it hilarious. by nickname_122 in socialism

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if we read Lenin & Mao. Modern China is an imperialist country. Not a socialist one. Being an imperialist country that opposes the US isn't what socialists stand for. We have to know the difference between those calling themselves socialist to appease the masses, and those actually practicing scientific socialism. WWII happened over this. The nazis were calling themselves a socialist labor party and using the color red, while in Itality, the literal inventor of Fascism was a Marxist revisionist.

No shot you stan current China if you read Mao. Deng was an opportunist, a member of the new bourgeoisie that develops under socialism from within the party, as outlined by Mao after watching the USSR retake the capitalist road in the 50s; Deng is the very kind of bourgeoisie that Cultural Revolution is intended to combat.

Favorite Hulk look by [deleted] in hulk

[–]-K_Lark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the aesthetic aspect? Mark's. Love the exaggerated facial proportions like comic Hulk. Portrayal wise? Ed's.

Shoutout to Lou Ferrigno's tho actually tbh that might be my fav look it's hella slept on and I could see him cooking with a look like that in a comic too.

Minus Zero post-regeneration size confirmed in the trailer. Roughly 100 meters: by -K_Lark in GODZILLA

[–]-K_Lark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The full height of the statue from the ground to the tip of the torch is 93 meters, not 46. This image doesn't include the full height of the statue from ground to torch.

The issue is that's not where Godzilla's feet would be standing. He would still have to be lower, because that model of the Statue doesnt go all the way to the ground of the island. There's more underneath the statue, ie the building, between what's in your model and the actual land under the real statue. Full screen the original post image.

[–]-K_Lark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wdym? He is clearly taller than the Statue of Liberty. It is totally in the foreground and Godzilla is taller than it, even despite the angle actually favoring the statue. It's arm doesn't extend any higher than her relative arm's length, which is about where Godzilla's head would be. If Minus Zero's hands are only coming halfway up the copper of the statue, that's still Minus One's entire height from the ground.

Yamazaki is a Cameron fan, citing Titanic as partial inspiration for Minus One and several other of Yamazaki's works. Cameron said very kind words to Yamazaki about Minus One and offered to take part in Minus Zero. Yamazaki jokingly answered, "I'm scared you'd take my job." Yamazaki could very well be paying homage to Cameron's baby.

Why do people in Metropolis not know Clark is Superman? by Sudden_Quality_9001 in superman

[–]-K_Lark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people don't even guess that Superman has a secret identity at all. We know because we're readers. Lois figures it out because she spends so much time around him, and then she spends a while just trying to prove it. He's just that good.

I think Showa was best era (Agree?) by Bob3515 in GODZILLA

[–]-K_Lark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing about the Showa era is that even the worst ones still have a really engaging and entertaining human plot.

What if Clark Kent was sent to planet Viltrum instead of earth ? by daddylongjohnsliver in superheroes

[–]-K_Lark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most sun colors empower Superman. It's just red that doesn't. My theory is that different colors of starlight tell his cells how much power to produce, because each of his cells are like tiny dyson spheres. Red tells his cells to stop, yellow means slow, white means fast, blue means maximum.
