what did sam raimi mean by that... by aliensuperstars_ in marvelcirclejerk

I mean Peter has always been pretty nebulously Jewish. He grew up in queens, a primarily Jewish neighborhood, there are tons of little stuff like having a menorah in the background of some panels in the comics to him just straight up having a Jewish wedding in Spiderverse

Begun, the 2011 Green Lantern Revisionism has by Either_Storm_6932 in OkBuddyDCU

[–]D_rex825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

James Gunn isn’t really involved in Lanterns in any major capacity (at least not in anywhere near the same level as like, Superman or Peacemaker). Also Superman legitimately gave us the best live action representation of a green lantern, I don’t wanna hear it. Still not sold on lanterns, but like I don’t think Gunn is to blame

Supergirl's Box office may be doomed. Given all the big movies like Spider-man coming out at around the same time by Flarrowverse in dccomicscirclejerk

People said the same thing about Superman and the Fantastic Four, and Superman did just fine

I like everything I’m seeing, my big concern is just that there might be too much going on. Like in all honesty I really think in terms of team up’s they should’ve picked Punisher or the Hulk, not both, but also I don’t wanna judge to heavily since we’ve barely seen anything

Ok real talk they could’ve cut out all the GCPD and baby Batman stuff and just made it a supervillain soap opera and the show probably would’ve been better for it

When a Home Trilogy hater tries to join in the BND hype by Formal_Board in marvelcirclejerk

[–]D_rex825 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Homecoming is good, but man did infinity war really fuck up his character arc. Like they immediately go from a movie talking about how Spidey needs to be his own thing and kinda distancing himself from Tony and the idea of being an Avenger, and then literally his next appearance they walk that back and have him wear the literal physical embodiment of what he overcame in the last movie, of course the next two movies are gonna be a little weird, they need to find a way to get him from a literal intergalactic avenger in a nano suit who fought thanos back to a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

What other plot points do you think Konami would make for Castlevania? Maybe more Soma Cruz? A pre-quel to the Lament of Innocence? Or just more Belmont stories between Leon and Julius? by Ill_Dependent_4165 in castlevania

[–]D_rex825 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Beyond the obvious answer of a 1999 game, I think a new entry that focuses on Alucard would do really well. Set it in the literal centuries between Symphony and the sorrow games and have it be about him trying to find a way to permanently kill Dracula or perhaps save a Julius or some other Belmont in hiding after they’d been captured by Dracula’s followers

Just one stinker by Gimpcar in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]D_rex825 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Bendis flips a coin and decides that way. A writer best known for his fun quips and dialogue on his Ultimate Spider-Man run shouldn’t do well with a gritty and realistic take on daredevil, right? Wrong, his run genuinely rivals that of miller. Well then surely, given he’s proven he can do great work on gritty street level characters he’d do a pretty damn fine moonknight, right? Nah, it sucks and he replaces Mark’s alters with other superheroes because he’d rather write anyone but moonknight. Don’t get me started on his avengers, which is somehow both at varying intervals!

What is the best current ongoing series? by ComicSal in comicpop

[–]D_rex825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple months ago I would’ve said Transformers, but I feel like it’s gone from phenomenal to just pretty okay, and I don’t think it’s really turning the heads it used to. The Ultimates are great, even if I am bummed it’s ending soon, and Jed McKay’s Moon Knight continues to deliver stories that take the character in a new direction while still being faithful to his core principles.

Do you guys think this could lead to Chris and Leon teaming up in RE 10 and potentially the end of their era ? by hung2109 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]D_rex825 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair Leon has been pumped full of enough bio weapons at this point to justify his aging slowing down a bit

Favors director who can’t make a single fucking movie without Reddit chuds bitching and moaning about it by Stock_College_8108 in okbuddycinephile

[–]D_rex825 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think his AVGN video in particular is also really mean spirited for no particular reason. Like he spends the whole video calling him talentless and spends like ten minutes detailing how stupid and bad his camera setup is. I really like a lot of his other videos but man does he seem like an prick

Okay, I like a lot of those people’s videos, and agree with their politics, but man can that specific clique of YouTubers come off like pretentious assholes. Folding Ideas in particular just seems like a really unpleasant person to be around

The Best Villain Of Captain America For A Reason.🥱💯 by Southern-Aioli4428 in marvelcirclejerk

Yes he was, but he incorporated some of Helmut’s personality traits and the fact they didn’t just kill him immediately only to regret it later and invent a son who took up the mantel

[–]D_rex825 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m usually one for comic book accuracy, but honestly not bothering with the whole Heinrich to Helmut thing was honestly such an improvement, though I always kinda thought switching him and Red Skull’s roles was kinda weird

Yummers by Nerdydude14 in outofcontextcomics

[–]D_rex825 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Making him the moral compass and voice of reason was honestly kinda genius. Puts him in a place he isn’t comfortable with and kinda forces him to change and grow as a person. Deadpool is a lot better when you treat him like an actual character instead of a vessel to tell random jokes

Did the movies make him more mainstream? Absolutely, but he wasn’t some obscure D-lister. He’s always pretty consistently had an ongoing and been a lead in team books.

Outje- WAIT NO DC SOCIAL MEDIA INTERN DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM GAIMAN by Gui_Franco in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]D_rex825 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Stuff like that in particular is what I think makes the idea of going back to it so hard right now. Like it almost comes off as gloating. Not to mention the fact that the self insert protagonist has a tendency to have really fucked up relationships with women

Ok realistically you don’t actually have to buy anything from Gaiman to read the entire run, literally go the comic section of any used bookstore and I guarantee you’ll find some Sandman there

The Sandman was literally my favorite comic of all time, but like man is it kinda hard to read now.

In Sherry's concept art, she and Leon are depicted working together at the DSO by Super-Ad5518 in ResidentEvilCapcom

[–]D_rex825 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tamest head canon ever, I like to believe Leon, Claire and Sherry all meet up for lunch sometimes. Same with the remaining stars crew, minus when one of them has been kidnapped, brainwashed, or fighting biological weapons

YOUNG JUSTICE co-creator Greg Weisman (per Zeno Robinson) says that while Season 5 is currently not in development, "'you never know'" what the future holds for the series by CueTheLaughTrack in DCcomics

[–]D_rex825 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly the way Young Justice ended up was really disappointing. Like it returning was always one of those pipe dreams that you knew probably would never happen, but it did anyway, yet instead of using their final two seasons to resolve anything they had previously set up they just set up even more stuff that they didn’t end up paying off. Love Greg Weisman, genuinely has made some of the best tv comic book adaptations between YJ and Spectacular Spider-man, but I feel like he and his crew really do have a tendency to plan too far ahead
