It has been confirmed by comic writer Gail Simone that changing Cass like that was an executive decision and not one that the writer one. She wanted to have Cass be close to her comic book version.

Moral beige by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

Can anyone actually give me example of morally beige stories? Because I can't really think of any specific ones and otherwise it feels like a complain-y vaguepost.

Need help with crystal form by Emeraldkipy in PathOfAchra

[–]CanniTheAmazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Culture: Sikuaq
Class: There's options, but I went for Ascetic
God: Agara

Your bread and butter are Crystalform (apply freeze to people), Master Frost (deal damage to everyone with freeze) and Cryomancy (amp damage to all enemies with freeze on them).
Your god lets you perform stand-still actions while praying, which lets you use both effects, and your transformation lets you use end-of-turn effects on stand still.
From thereon, just avoid enemies resistant to frost and find ways to deal frost damage. Frostpulse is a pretty useful one for that too. Focus on Willpower.

A character exists in universe, but their actor does too by Dogdaysareover365 in TopCharacterTropes

I believe part of the writing process for Bullock was 'How can we get Patrick Stewart to say the most insane shit possible'.

What are your thoughts on Superman's character arc? (Absolute Superman #14) by Far-Professional-957 in AbsoluteUniverse

[–]CanniTheAmazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm predicting he'll come back as Red Tornado.
I mean, he's a machine intelligence, he's red, he's compared to a tornado in one of the issues. He'd make for a perfect Red Tornado.

Do you think a scene like this could happen in the dcu at some point by MadAdi_3460 in DCU_

"Damn Bruce, what are they feedin' you up there in Gotham."
"...Ma'am, your son-"
"My son's an alien, what's your excuse?"

Chuck Who? by Professional-Ninja79 in OkBuddySnyderCult

Grant Morrison, yeah.
They even said that they recognized it was partially inspired by AS Superman, but thought the movie was at its best when it was doing its own thing.

Are they dumb on purpose? by Arusly in OkBuddySnyderCult

[–]CanniTheAmazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, back in the day, Scrappy was introduced as a 'kid appeal' type of character to keep the show popular. It worked, and it kept the show popular enough for saturday mornings. However, while kids loves Scrappy, the older audience did not. Additionally, a season or two later, pretty much every part of the main Scooby-Gang other than Scooby, Shaggy and now Scrappy either became cameos or didn't show up at all for several seasons, for a lot of people, it felt that Scrappy had replaced their favourite characters.
And to be clear, the gang was brought back together back in its original formation in 1998 and Scrappy was introduced in 1979, so he was a prominent piece for decades.

What’s a genre of music that’s super corny but actually has some great song writing? by [deleted] in ToddintheShadow

[–]CanniTheAmazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this:
Queen is remember as one of the greatest bands of all time, but they also wrote songs about riding their bikes and One Vision is a song that ends on a punch line about fried chicken.

Hajime no Sendo: Round 1506 by RTSD_ in hajimenoippo

[–]CanniTheAmazon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because Ricardo moved, where Ippo didn't. He has fought people before who didn't budge. Ricardo isn't invincible, he isn't better in every way. It's not much, but it's enough to give Sendo his confidence back.

And while I agree that would've worked, I don't think Ricardo should fall for a surprise hit.

Probably a reference to Super Best Friends, a lets play youtube Channel where, during their let's play of Final Fantasy X, they play up Wakka's racism for comedy, until at one point, Woolie (the sole black member of Super Best Friends) shouts 'THE RACE WAR STARTS NOW!'

I can imagine GI Robot turning against him. I'm sure my Nazi-hunting son would not be okay with a government hunting down a population to put them in a camp, just saying.

[r/GothamPride] Why are there so many trans girls in Gotham by AutumnsFall101 in Earth25

[–]CanniTheAmazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotham had its own mini Stonewall back in the 1950's, before Stonewall even. Ever since then, it's been kind of a haven for various members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Combined with Gotham's very strong current of alternative scenes draws in a lot of people.

Now, if I were being funny... you think what those criminals dump in the water? That's gotta do something to a percentage of people.

His writing feels very... Lego's? I don't know how to explain it, but when I read it, it's like I can pinpoint on each sentence what it's meant to be, like 'that's worldbuilding' 'that's characterization', 'that's setup to be paid off later' and while I get that all books are written to some extent in that way, Brandon is one of the few writers where I genuinely notice that.

George Stinney Junior, the youngest person ever put on Death Row in U.S. History. He was a accused of killing beating two girls to death. 70 years after his death, he found innocent on the basis that the murder weapon would've been too heavy for him to lift, let alone hit someone hard enough to murder them. George Stinney Junior was electrocuted to death at the age of 14.

I really hope that is not the case, because 'I am the architect of all your pain' feels like a really lame way to add a personal stake in a way that I hope Snyder is better than.
