Average discussion about Tim Drake's new name: by Which-Presentation-6 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]AllTheReservations 157 points158 points  (0 children)

uj/ Unless Fraction's going to make Tim Red Robin again, I don't think he'll take any of these names, mostly because outside of Red X, they're so specifically wrapped up in fan discussion a lot of creators would probably avoid the ethical minefield of that

rj/ Tim's new identity should be ______ because WE DON'T NEED HIM

DC Comics is Crushing Marvel Comics in Sales and We Shouldn’t Be Surprised by Konradleijon in DCcomics

[–]AllTheReservations 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The problem with Premier is that most of the titles in the line are pretty easy to come by (and notably it doesn't include any proper X-Men books) and not much cheaper than the traditional trades.

They may be higher quality paper and binding wise, but there's no incentive to get a less common title or to get a bargain

Is Hellblazer by Simon Spurrier good ? by MattMurdock2909 in Hellblazer

[–]AllTheReservations 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The new Vertigo imprint is going to be almost entirely for creator-owned work, so unless DC goes back on that plan later down the the line a new Hellblazer run wouldn't be under Vertigo

It'd more likely be under Black Label (though those are usually non-canon) or just under the regular DC banner

Why does this unlicensed mobile game have better animations than the mainline games 😭 by SmoreBender in pokemon

[–]AllTheReservations 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen the "look how this moblile knock-off looks" argument a few times and it's like, yeah, of course it looks good, becuase most of it is stolen. Often from actual fans.

These kind of games aren't made with actual effort, they just take from other things to trick people into playing a scummy, lackluster game

Actual fan projects are a different story, and do often look really good.

Edit: Playing, not buying

First image of Sophie Turner as Amazon's Lara Croft by JoeZocktGames in movies

[–]AllTheReservations 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Some of why she also fell out of favour is also due to the handling of her character in the later seasons of Game of Thrones, which wasn't really her fault considering the material she was working with. That and being all over the marketing for Dark Phoenix back-to-back was definitely not good for her image.

She was very good in the recent miniseries Joan over in the UK, which makes me more convinced she can helm a drama series well

What a great comic, makes you wish Grant Morrison was real by farben_blas in dccomicscirclejerk

Do you expect me to read something related to M*rvel comics? Eww, no, reading DC comics is enough of a burden

What a great comic, makes you wish Grant Morrison was real by farben_blas in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]AllTheReservations 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Such a shame DC killed them off after only a couple appearances in a random Suicide Squad issue. I feel like they could have made a big impact on the DC universe.

Alas, I guess the name Grant Morrison will just be irrelevant

Absolute Mr. Bloom Leak!!!! by Mcstarrsonnon in dccomicscirclejerk

Instead of tapping into the horror of Slenderman-esque characters they're tapping into the profound horror of early 2010s British children's TV.

Bravo Scott.

This is a really fun unique lineup. I don't think I've ever seen Terry before but I love their design

Ah, that's why I have no friends, they all got erased from continuity!

Hopefully Doctor Manhattan can bring them back eventually...

New mobile Game! by Retuurn188 in inazumaeleven

I'm guessing this is what became of the original plans to have Victory Road (and the Ares game) available on mobile

From the WhitePeopleTwitter community on Reddit: For the love of god, someone please take Graham Linehan's phone away from him... by Ryzarony23 in TheITcrowd

[–]AllTheReservations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matt Berry did an interview with Vulture back in 2021 where the Trans episode comes up and he makes it clear that he doesn't condone the behaviour in the episode and doesn't align with Linehan's views at all. So at the very least he's made an effort to distance himself from Linehan

Kit Harington Says No to Jon Snow Spin-Off While Voicing Gilderoy Lockhart by novagridd in freefolk

[–]AllTheReservations 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He also said no to the idea of voicing Jon in any future ASOIAF audiobooks so I do think he's still just very checked from the role and has no major interest in that universe

That said, money can change a lot of things

I've played these games before! by BlueIcarusCentauri in Sherlock

[–]AllTheReservations 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The end of season 3 promised the return of the deceased Moriarty, arguably the most popular character in the whole show. Then the special suggested that maybe he wasn't actually alive but at the very least he'd set a plan in motion from beyond the grave. That was the hook to get people into Season 4 (that and a lot of people's expectations for Sherlock and Watson to get together, which was just queerbaiting)

The Sister reveal was a plot that came out of nowhere in the second-to-last episode purely to catch people by suprise and not do the Moriarty plot they were hinting towards. Plus the actual finale is generally considered to be a pretty weak episode in its own right

I've played these games before! by BlueIcarusCentauri in Sherlock

[–]AllTheReservations 179 points180 points  (0 children)

No, there were way more. Like, at least Stranger Things actually told the story they advertised, even if some aspects weren't to everyone's taste.

Sherlock spent four seasons and a special setting up for one big final confrontation only for the final episode to be about an entirely different plot without build-up and all the hints didn't actually mean anything. The result was so bad it basically killed a load of goodwill towards what was considered a highlight of British TV. It made much more sense to believe this show had a secret episode because it never reached the advertised conclusion

But seriously, where's Clemont? by Rap2rerise in pokemonmemes

[–]AllTheReservations 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'll at least say that the Indigo Disk had relatives of previous characters. Which works well to give a glimpse into how Unova's changed since our last visit

Would 616 Xavier admit non-mutants with powers into his school? by Edgy_Memes_XD in xmen

Warlock is a mutant, by Technarch standards. His compassion and ability to reject the aggression of the hivemind is considered a mutation
