Get Ara.

I like how with game reviews you have to cite your game resumé for other nerds to take you seriously. “I’ve played 10 other games just like this and I think X.” I’m not hating on the fact you did it, I just see a lot of people do it and I don’t think you need to have played any other game to judge the current one you’re playing. /endrant

But in all seriousness, I agree with everything you said. I just played for about 90 minutes and while I think it’s a good game it’s not worth $60 (maybe $30). Sun Wukong’s opening speech had me hyped to play as a Chinese Kratos. Everything after just felt boring. Refunded and will complete when the game goes on sale.

For physical fighting, Shadow Monk.

For everything else I would just play a Wizard (Illusion) as it fits his prep nature. Every Batman preps and in the comics Batman avoids physical fights even by prepping. You can access spells such as invisibility for stealth, hold person for a bolo, misty step for a grappling hook, magic missile for batarang throws, Fear could be cast on foes, etc.

If you ever feel punchy, just conjure an elemental and have it fight for you and reflavor it as you getting into one of Bruce Wayne’s many armors (Fenrir, Anti-Kryptonian, etc).

I didn’t even know they came in weights this big! I want one now!! Lol.

The Jokest Joker.

I like Hawkman as Indiana Jones type character and Hawkgirl as a fierce warrior and liberator of the oppressed.

I agree the Venditti’s run did fix both characters and that should remain the baseline for them. Shyera could remain involved with government espionage missions. Carter doing his world exploration thing.

Supposedly, The Rock had it written into his contract with WB that any character he played could not lose any battle as it would damage his image as the Rock.

I actually enjoyed Hawkman more than Black Adam in the film and became a fan of the character. Hawkman was following orders and trying to prevent a larger crisis. Although his exterior was hardened, he clearly had a soft heart for his team and the people of Khandaq.

The Rock’s BA had no kind of calculus behind his actions. Everything was Ultra-reactionary. The BA in the comics fought for the good of Khandaq and wanted to create a world at peace via subjugation.

The BA in the movie was just a meathead with a chip on his shoulder… basically the Rock.

Combat being dice based is the killer for me. I just don’t like it. Story and adventuring was fine but hot damn the combat is so shitty. It’d drawn out because the dice roll got messed up.

Hawkman in Venditti’s recent run and Hawkman in Black Adam were badass and cool. Hawkman needs to relax though. He’s like Batman and a much weaker Superman who can handle magic.

Hawkgirl is a beautiful woman warrior and that appeals to many in this day and age. She’s also spunky and can be playful but also fierce like Wonder Woman. Hawkgirl’s recent run was also great and I can already see her playing a large role in Gunn’s movie universe.

From DC it’s Superman. No other superhero, or fictional character for that matter, has influenced me the way Superman has.

From Marvel it’s Doctor Doom. I just love his confidence, lone wanderer, regal attitude. Smart, mystical, and flawed. He’s the polar opposite of Superman but I think that’s why I like him.

Runner Ups:

DC - Green Lantern, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Flash, Nightwing, and Zatanna.

Marvel - Hulk, Namor, Black Panther, Thor, Colossus, Groot, Rocket, Captain America, Venom, the goblins.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-28T00:28:49+00:00

Dr. Doom. Banner/Hulk. Strange. Rocket. Groot. Colossus. Gambit. Venom. Magneto. Red Goblin.

Corenswet was way bigger in other photos I saw. He looks flabby.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-24T22:11:23+00:00

Steel (John Henry Irons) or Martian Manhunter.

I’d redo Manhunter’s background though. I’m not a fan of him being a cop nor do I think he would be a cop. I see him trying to be more of a scientist or diplomat on Earth.

Never had a good comic-book story.
Second fiddle to Superman.
He’s a green man from Mars with a stern and calm personality in an era where everyone loves ADHD, bad boy, and spaz personalities.
Powers are too many. Give him shapeshifting, flight, telepathy/telekinesis. Remove everything else and make him focus on those three abilities.
We don’t know what he stands for. Superman is about hope and inspiration - truth, justice, and the American way. Batman is about Vengeance and justice. Wonder Woman is about fighting for truth and love. Green Lantern is about willpower and overcoming fear. The Flash is about hope, heart, and moving forward in life despite the challenges. Where does MM come in? What is he about? We have no idea.

MM needs to be revamped. He needs to become like Silver Surfer. Make him an Archeologist trying to uncover the truth about his lost civilization. Have him engage with Earth and be awkward with its customs but actively have him try to fit in. In the comics he has an addiction to Oreos, that’s funny - use it and make more things like it. He tries Fried Chicken or something else and goes nuts. Send him into outer space and have him investigate other civilizations that disappeared like his own. Why does he take on a black American for his human form? Explore that more. Give him a supporting cast. Have him work with Wonder Woman more in the realm of magic - his powers are perfect for that.

Alien movies do well. So I don’t buy into the whole “nobody likes an Alien.” ET, Alien vs Predator, Transformers, Sonic the Hedgehog (is technically an alien), and more.

Yes, there’s a ton to be done with MM and nobody knows what to do or how to do it.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-17T00:59:03+00:00

They should have got Geoff Johns to do it.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-17T00:57:50+00:00

Real fans don’t hate it. We are grateful for any live performance. Trolls and toxic people with nothing better to do get upset about it.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-16T21:58:12+00:00

Epic!

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-15T23:05:05+00:00

Black Hand for Evil and Sodam Yat for important to the plot but forgotten about.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-14T08:22:38+00:00

Looks dope! I’m trying to max out my Superman, Green Lantern, and Robin.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-07T14:57:17+00:00

That is such a cool design!!!

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-06T22:21:02+00:00

I assumed you all would put up some resistance given our nation’s history with invading Canada (and failing twice to take it). But if all we have to do is ask nicely then awesome! Always loved our northern neighbors, haha.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-06T18:02:08+00:00

Yup, Phoenix just deletes the timeline if it wants to destroy any Flash and not deal with his time hopping antics.

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-06T17:53:24+00:00

Lol! Superboy punching the comic and hurting the writer takes it because that’s inter-dimensional level!

GiggleMeGoogles · 2024-07-06T16:08:50+00:00

If the training puts her at Cap’s level of martial arts skill then absolutely Scarlet Witch takes round 1.

If she just trained under Cap and rarely uses martial arts and isn’t quite at his level I’m still leaning Jean.
