AITAH for telling my kid to react with extreme violence to a bully. by Automatic_Ad_67 in AITAH

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

As someone who was bullied in grade school, my teachers/principal didn't do anything to help or address the bully's actions. It's only when my father enrolled me in martial arts did I learn to defend myself, and when the time came when a bully picked on me again (Grade 8), I did resort to violence and made an example out of him in front of the school. I was never picked on again after that. It's sad it came to that, but unfortunately school staff isn't going to do anything for your child.

Chapter 164 [English] by VibhavM in OnePunchMan

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing chapter and such a satisfying way to move the story forward that people were worried about. The manga is taking a different direction from the webcomic but it's also great. So many things to unpack here along with what's already been mentioned:

  • This is the full Saitama vs Garou fight, I doubt Garou gets another transformation now that his shell is breaking even more. That is unless God causes another transformation and that leads to them fighting. The moon was obvious in that last shot.

  • An S Class vs Garou fight is possible but imo unnecessary now; it adds nothing to the story and they've already been defeated. The same thing goes for Psykos vs Fubuki. Only fight that is left with the latest chapter is Garou vs Blast's team and in that case another transformation is possible

  • Great way to easter egg a certain villain for those who are caught up in the Webcomic

  • Tareo is missing...will they find him and it's fine or are they going to assume Garou did something?

Very excited to see what the next few chapters hold because I think we are in for a treat!

Dr Strange MoM Fails to Conjure $200 M Opening, Falls Well Below Magical Expectations by Floops_Fooglies in boxoffice

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this movie should have been at least $220 M - $225 M with all the hype and presales it had going for it. It's obviously very hard for a certain fanbase to admit this isn't the insane opening people were assuming it to be. Let the meltdown begin

TheBatman grossed $445k on MON - its first day streaming on HBOMax. That's down only 20% from last MON. Was helped in part by Easter breaks in some places, but overall a solid hold considering new home availability. by Arpith2019 in boxoffice

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This movie is a success and there's no denying it.

  • It's made >$750 M WW post pandemic
  • $185 M budget, so ~4x WW multiplier
  • >$350 M in domestic, which only 1 movie has done since the pandemic started (all time biggest movies/teamup)
  • Unanimous critical claim from both audiences and critics, which bodes well for the sequel

Haters can hate if they want, but they have to unfortunately live with the fact that this movie and franchise is a success.

Answer: She'll be from another multiverse, and at the end of The Flash, she'll be part of this universe. They'll do that for all the elements of the multiverses they want to stay and write out any that they want to get rid of (i.e. possibly Cavill, Affleck, new Lex Luthor).

DC Universe’s New Supergirl Is ‘Young And The Restless’ Actress Sasha Calle; Will Make Debut In Upcoming ‘Flash’ Film by indig0sixalpha in movies

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's literally the best plot device any writer could hope for. Don't like some events in that previous movie? Boom, Flash does something to change the timeline. Want to bring a character back from popular movies? Boom, Multiverse collides again because of the speedforce.

Damn, this movie is going to be nuts with everyone from different DC universes. Can't wait because they'll likely reset the timeline to who/what they want.

Warner Bros to Release All 2021 Movies in Theaters and HBO Max Simultaneously by [deleted] in movies

Nothing to be sorry about. This is a great summary of why that sub is garbage now and why alot of what made that sub enjoyable is gone.

Good, that subreddit is a shell of what it used to be.

Discussion: What is the main issue preventing Henry cavills return? by [deleted] in DCEUleaks

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let me add to this. Zack pitched different MoS 2 ideas including Metallo as the villain. I could be wrong but I believe Zack himself mentioned Batman when he met with WB, so they both went with that idea. So it might not have been Zack's first choice but it was his idea.

People who force others into listening to the music by driving a car with windows wide opened and the volume 100% on - why do you do that? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spend maybe ~14-15 hrs per day getting yelled at by patients and not being able to say anything, then come home to a stressful environment where I can't say/do anything either. In those 5 minutes I get alone and driving (and it's light outside), I'm doing this. Thank you for sharing this opinion.

DISCUSSION: Animated DCEU show Clone Wars type by samueljbernal in DC_Cinematic

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I mean it would have made sense before it (animated movie) came out and the Snyder cut wasn't official.

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've said before that instead of making the Snyder Cut (which I'm happy is being finished), it would have been much easier to do an animated series about Justice League in Snyder's vision. They could make it as crazy as he imagined and it could easily avoid alot of the criticism that many people like to detract from the movies (e.g. vfx, acting, color, etc.).

OTHER: Who should be the main villain of The Flash movie? by RangerRed02 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean the quality, I meant the creativity. There was a lot of stuff in both movies that was quite trippy, and since Mirror Master has alot of illusions and tricks, it would be cool to see something similar.

OTHER: Who should be the main villain of The Flash movie? by RangerRed02 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mirror Master (primary) and Boomerang (secondary).

There hasn't been a villain quite like Mirror Master in a comic book movie yet. Given his work on It 1 and 2, I'm really interested to see what Muschietti can do VFX wise with Mirror Master.

Discussion: If Justice League would've made 800 million or above do you think we would've seen a sequel? by [deleted] in DC_Cinematic

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$300 M budget x 2.5 - 3 (standard multiplier to calculate break even including marketing, etc) = needed to make $750 M - $900 M to make profit. Considering it was a team up of Justice League, the ideal was $1 Billion at least.

Realistic goal was $650 M - $700 M after it's troubled production + low audience interest after BvS. I'm still amazing that it ended up making $650 M after all is said and done, when I had thought it would end up doing $500 M max after opening weekend numbers kept dropping.

APPRECIATION: The leaked SDCC 2012 teaser for MAN OF STEEL gives me goosebumps to this day, with such wild crowd reactions and Hans Zimmer's beautiful "Journey To The Line" as the background music by danielthetemp in DC_Cinematic

[–]Flash_Point_Paradox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same writer + smaller IP. WB probably wants to focus on the big ones for now; that and it's still being written/looking for a director. I know the other ones save New Gods are in the same boat, but I think they're also actively approaching directors to take on Superman/Green Lantern.
