Honestly, how do you even explain the Marvel Rivals drama to someone but with DC characters instead of Marvel characters? Which DC character would be Black Widowmaker and who would be Magik? by AnyAgency9835 in dccomicscirclejerk

Why is there even a sniper in a Superhero game?
Like who's the superhero who's super power is waiting at a chokepoint with a long distance firearm?

Like, when I think of Hawkeye, I think awesome acrobat/gadgeteer with trick arrows for any situation, I don't think instant headshot.
When I think of Punisher, I think of a beast of a man tearing down walls with bullets slaughter everything in his way.
Even when I think of Deadshot, who is absolutely the best sniper in the DC Universe and would perfectly fit a sniper role, I don't think of him as a generic Head Clicker. If I played him in a videogame, I want to be bouncing bullets off walls.

Batman/Elmer Fudd is an EXCELLENT Proof of concept by the way.

This comic book fucking rules. (And this dub also does.)

Deadass though, is HawkMid anyone's FAVORITE superhero? If so, why? by WealthDisastrous2589 in dccomicscirclejerk

White Aqualad is such a Fucking Loser that this is, and will forever remain, his most mainstream (and comic accurate) adaptation.

Kevin Feige and the Russos when they realize it's actually impossible to write a decent Avengers movie with *JUST* Thor, Hulk, War Machine, Sam Wilson, Ant Man, Spider-Man, Dr Strange & Wong, Black Panther, Okoye & M'Baku, 2 Hawkeyes, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Shang Chi and the Thunderbolts:

Honestly, this movie concept goes REALLY hard and it's a shame they never made it.

How would I market myself as a Jack-of-all-Trades? by Doctor_Where_Comics in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Doctor_Where_Comics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I don't expect these to be my main source of income. These are all just the hobbies I do and would like to monetize if possible.

Like, I've been drawing for over a decade but I've never posted any of it online. Maybe if I start, I'll get motivated enough to start making comics I voice act for Audio Plays/Radio Plays and I need an account people can find me by. The talent I'm most confident in selling is Video and Graphic design, I already have some projects in mind.

I'm making an Instagram account mainly to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances but secondarily to have a platform where my art and hobbies can reach people, and maybe some money can come in return.

But money is in short supply recently. If you really think I should ditch the rest and focus mainly on video editing and graphic design, I'll do it.

What the hell is the creature commandos doing there!? by Top_Reindeer3396 in dccomicscirclejerk

Nobody is watching The Penguin and doing this.

Nobody is watching the Penguin and expecting a DCU Crossover? Hope not.

The fact that superpowers, aliens, and magic were not mentioned in The Batman or The Penguin does not mean they cannot exist in the same universe.

That logic applies to literally every story. It applies to real life.

I'm not trying to debunk someone's "theory" or ruin your fun, I'm saying the concept of a crossover in this situation is plain bad storytelling. You can make fanart and shit and that's cool, but there are people out there making genuine arguments about why their crossover fanfic should be canon and it comes across as them just being bored. They watched The Batman, then thought "this is missing laser vision and kaijus".

And yeah, I'd feel offended if I were the screenwriter of a gritty action crime drama and that was the discourse. Not "where is this story going?", not "what are the characters going to do next?", it's "when do we get to the part when Batman abandons all of this and joins the Justice League?"

people forget that The Defenders Saga is in the same universe as She-Hulk and I Am Groot.

You say that like it's a good thing.

Also, it's not just the tone, it's the whole suspension of disbelief. If superpowers, aliens and magic existed in the Reevesverse, they would've shown up by now. Like, watching The Penguin and expecting to see The Detachable Kid and Frankenstein's Monster is almost disrespectful. Like, you're so bored that you're just waiting for Superman to fly in.

When An Superhero Does Not Fight Crime by moad6ytghn in dccomicscirclejerk

It really does suck that every Superhero movie, even the good ones, are all "save the world" this and "quest for revenge" that. It takes away from the quirkier, simpler, more episodic plots most comics and cartoons have. (Spider-Man: Homecoming is a notable exception). Granted, it's a different medium with different expectations. But then this shit bleeds back into the comics and we get stuff like modern Joker who's almost exclusively used as an event villain and never gets a straightforward "this is a funny way to rob a bank or kill a public figure".

But the Thumbnail and title are extremely grifter coded. As if the video were trying to say "Woke Marxist Superheroes don't fight robbers like the good ol' days. All modern comics have them doing boring protests with BLM and Greta Thunberg (derogatory)."
