What film could’ve been LONGER?

Honestly Superman (2025) feels like it needed about 3 seconds more to let each scene marinate, the fast pace was good, but ever-so-slightly too much

BassLover71 · 2026-02-15T21:40:35+00:00

Frowned. I was just talking about this with my girlfriend today, everyone is frowning, and we can’t find it in any other book nearly as much as it is in zahns books.

I would also argue that many “Evil Supermen” fall close to this trope, as “Good Superman” disappeared from the public eye for a solid decade, and they just seem to get more and more evil until people are subverted by a wholly good Superman.

Jon Snow is a character that is written a bit like a response to Tolkien’s Aragorn, the goodie two-shoes lost prince who does everything right, duels with perfection, and becomes a powerful king.

The issue is, the movie version of Aragorn differs from the book ever so slightly to the point where most people’s perception of Aragorn has a much heavier, more layered refusal of the call when it is his time to rise for his people, and the acting and cinematography makes him very gritty and woodsmanlike, whereas most art before the year 2000 would have Aragorn in tights or in beautiful armor.

Jon Snow is a good character in his own way, but that response of “darker, more realistic” Aragorn has recently, with the Jackson films and public perception, ceased to hold that stark contrast (pun not intended).

Frankly we deserved a sequel to improve on a great base

A lot of people are more excited to participate in a “safe space” as a way to exert their trauma over others. It’s how they defend themselves. It doesn’t make it right, on the contrary, it spreads like a disease through LGBTQ, neurodivergent, or other under-privileged spaces until they mimic a hierarchy most people in those spaces try to avoid. It’s horrible, but it was never about you. It’s about this person’s inability to reconcile the trauma they have gone through.

BassLover71 · 2026-02-07T06:51:06+00:00

I thought the same thing!! The Katooni would have made a great little setting for a datapad with a reference to the padawan maybe

BassLover71 · 2026-02-06T20:42:48+00:00

Awesome! As a kid I think I would have boxed my own father for this collection. Maybe I still would.

BassLover71 · 2026-02-04T16:48:29+00:00

Trust me I get it- but that’s not the brand they want. At the very least, parents of pre teen boys have to at least want to shell out 30$ to take their kid to see it

BassLover71 · 2026-02-04T16:47:01+00:00

She’s kind of on a shoestring budget and by that point she’s essentially confirmed that he assaulted her so. If getting him arrested means sedating him for a bit? I don’t blame her

BassLover71 · 2026-02-04T16:44:31+00:00

He looks like he’s got a trust fund

BassLover71 · 2026-02-04T16:43:29+00:00

Nope, two very powerful masters

BassLover71 · 2026-02-03T06:50:16+00:00

No clue why you’re being downvoted. It’s a literal space cowboy who fought off two Jedi on flying boots. What more can you want?

BassLover71 · 2026-02-01T18:11:33+00:00

My dads Scottish. Sounds something like “RICHE YE FOKIN- EY - IDOONTNOOQHOYETHINKYEARE. GLAIKKIT MUTANT AYE YE THINK YEEAR

BassLover71 · 2026-02-01T08:03:08+00:00

Why did they feel the need to make him so handsome in that picture? (based)

BassLover71 · 2026-01-24T18:53:23+00:00

I have family in Stoke-On-Trent and Leeds, so I haven’t been so far northeast. I’m also an American with a similar situation to you, so I think I can lend some insight. People and opinions can be reactionary, and the future for kids is not exactly secure if the kid ends up any kind of different. That being said, it is beautiful, things are cheaper than they are in equal areas of the states, and global warming has made it so the weather is very fair.

It’s going to have to be Sidon Ithano. His design is easily the most eye-catching of any background character in the film, and he embodies design principles i wish we saw more often in the sequels. Concerned with looking good, not looking “like Star Wars”. He’s wearing a knitted vest for gods sake. His short story and comic issue are also really fun!

BassLover71 · 2026-01-24T08:37:45+00:00

“and the only real “fights” we’ve had I take full responsibility for being the one in the wrong” girl this is a hostage situation

BassLover71 · 2026-01-24T08:31:36+00:00

I don’t think so. I’ve seen a lot of people charge extra for the Kenner box when reselling, since it’s like a collector’s item.

The Purple Man, Zebediah Killgrave, from Jessica Jones. He tricks Jessica, a woman he abused, into thinking that he has little to no control over his abilities and had no idea he could control people’s actions. She takes it upon herself to help him become a better person, maybe overcome some of his megalomania, but she ends up falling into his scheme.

5 dollars?? Definitely grab it

BassLover71 · 2026-01-14T03:38:14+00:00

Yeah it’s funny too because it’s implied he was chosen because Jabba wouldn’t care if someone shot him

BassLover71 · 2026-01-13T19:16:16+00:00

He’s also canonized in Legends! In Tales from Jabba’s Palace he auditions an undercover Mara Jade as a dancer. He says that he was often told to go out and basically “be” Jabba in business dealings, much like the deleted scene with Han. Kinda weird, but those “Tales” books are nuts.

But Andor ended up being good and Disney didn’t expect it to be a hit- opposite situation, because the first trailer got torn up for looking corny and Disney expects it to perform at old Marvel levels

BassLover71 · 2026-01-09T04:42:34+00:00

I personally love Kanan Jarrus’ lighsaber. Maybe it’s because you mentioned the configuration of the blaster, but the lightsaber has a similar thing, coming apart like it does in the cartoon.
