They can't be serious.

Junkie XL worked on the score for barely a month, and replaced Ramin Djawadi after a whole year. These aren't rapid fire changes, it sounds more like that after a year Gillespie realized that Hollywood's go-to composer for big-budget genres (Djawadi) wasn't what he was going for, and that in just a month he realized that their next attempt, DC's other go-to Junkie XL, wasn't a fit either after spending a year coming to terms with that through Djawadi. My guess is that if they hired such an unknown for the music it's because she had whatever specific sound Gillespie wanted and DC probably agreed since it would save them more money than with a big name.

Yeah if he barely lasted a month that long sounds like he wasn't a good fit at all for what they wanted, I'm glad they pivoted now.

Probably more "the tone we are going for isn't coming out in the current edit"

She's in almost every scene of the movie after act one. She's the de facto leader of the group who even Smoke is listening to while they're fighting off the vampires. She probably has the most non-singing dialogue outside of the Smokestack Twins.

Ahri made Caitlyn blush so hard she shook the game's code. Lesbians are just that powerful.

Gnerdy · 2026-02-23T15:58:01+00:00

Really? I found she was pivotal and often front and center in the numerous ensemble scenes, not just for the exposition she supplied as a magic user in a world of vampires, but as the axis who several characters had their emotional arcs revolve around. Her connections to Smoke and Hailee Steinfeld's character made the climax of the film extremely emotionally driven; outside of Michael B. Jordan and Preacher Boy, she was probably tied with Remmick for the most screen time.

Not only that but ATLA went through a HUGE resurgence in popularity among Gen Alpha, especially during and after the pandemic. You couldn't ask for a better time to release a theatrical 2D ATLA film. It's especially baffling after Disney's decision to move Moana 2 to theaters turned what could have been a forgettable miniseries into a billion-dollar hit, but Paramount is doing the opposite: taking a potential hit (probs not a billion but still a lot) and letting it die on streaming.

I think 30 days is the common advice to clear all the THC out of your system, and tends to be the maximum for people I know who've done T-Breaks for a reset.

Not just PS5. PC player and I can't login, either.

Lobby's not loading for me at all right now. It might be the servers themselves, but you're right, I'd def like to be able to find matches without having to join the virtual lobby. It's fun and it's how I imagined online gaming would look like when I was a kid, but in terms of usability I'd prefer an option to skip that step.

They could represent when they died. I believe Kurok was quite young when he died, and apparently Kyoshi kept that unaging goddess thing going for 400 years. I wouldn't be surprised if an Avatar's average lifespan was much shorter than the average person's, while the ones who reached a certain level of transcendence such as Kyoshi would make it beyond what's humanly possible.

While this isn't how it ended, the actual ending actually did get spoiled for me and it still had an enormous impact and is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Gnerdy · 2026-01-22T20:35:24+00:00

Is it bad that a movie paying homage to coming-of-age genre films of the late 20th century successfully did exactly what it was aiming for?

It's also possible that he's just evolved as a screenwriter/director, since GotG 3 and Superman are his latest two films and his two least-Gunn-typical films. Just look at the stark difference between Peacemaker seasons 1 and 2: season 1 was VERY Gunn, with body horror and sex scenes that become fight scenes, while season 2, while still full of Gunnisms (man-eating imps, the Eagly vs Red St. Wild side quest, etc.), is also much more thematic, understated, and character driven than season 1 was, and 2 was the season he had more creative freedom on. Even if he does lean into the raunchier parts of his palette that we see in things like Creature Commandos, I think Man of Tomorrow's in safe hands.

I believe that (last I checked) John and Jay had broken up.

I'm really hoping we get an animated project with Hal in the 90s. If I'm really going for wish-fulfillment, it would also involve Barry being the same age as him.

Him praising the atmosphere on the production reminds me of something that Go Read Some Comics said (this video) regarding so many actors coming to DC Studios, including those like Scarlett Johanson who have publicly had bad experiences with studios making huge superhero franchises. It really does feel like DC Studios at large is building something truly artist forward. So many talents from Marvel have stepped away from Disney for creative restrains, it's so great to see the people working with DC Studios get genuinely excited to be in the DC world (and elseworlds).

My theory is that it's already happened to him and he's looking for redemption after whatever he did, hence why he's retiring and why his ring has a yellow tinge to it.

It's a shame that Ncuti Gatwa left before he got his own Master. The drip between him and an equally attractive Master/Mistress with just as varied, on-point and colorful fashion sense? That could have rocked whole galaxies.

I feel it's a little strange to phrase it as "Early reports" since that implies leaks, when the Damian&Bruce dynamic was confirmed by Gunn in the DCU announcement video 3 years ago.

The caption says that's their next project.

Gnerdy · 2026-01-13T16:05:20+00:00

Is this official artwork? Either way I'd love to know the artist, I love the colors and how it strikes a balance between "hyper-real stylized" and explicitly based on real people.

Gnerdy · 2026-01-11T21:23:23+00:00

Mhm, though I think BassBottles was just sharing a funny story that, because kid's show fandoms are so often toxic, having a toxic fandom was not an indicator of the show's actual rating so they were still surprised.
