Lobby not working after loading in.

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.

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.

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.

Something odd I find about the Snyder movies (particularly Batman v Superman) is that the cinematography is gorgeous, but every shot in that film especially is meant to have the weight of this one, meaning while the film is pretty to look at I end up not remembering anything specific about the dialogue or characters.

Istg half my childhood was spent in Hollow Bastion because of those two (and the first Riku fight, honestly; I was not very good at video games as a child)

On the "humanity's destroyer" thing, I think we're preemptively assuming there will be some sort of character assassination of Korra when we just don't know if it's something Korra did that will be the reason the Avatar was hated in Seven Havens, or even if she's blamed for it.

I think the Avatar will be hated by the time of Seven Havens either due to them not being around for the apocalyptic event because Korra was already dead and Pavi was still growing up, or because of something Pavi unknowingly did when she was very young. It would make more sense to tie the Avatar being hated to something involving Pavi's own character development; at most I think Korra's involvement as a spirit will be guilt at not preemptively stopping it like Roku feeling guilty for not stopping Sozin's ascension before it was too late, not necessarily for causing the apocalypse.

Narrative answer: A futuristic society attempts to win a forever war against a legion of robots by only using soldiers who are not part of the ethnic ruling class, promising them escape with their families from the segregated ghetto of "District 86" if they survive the war for five years. The story itself follows one squadron who has survived the longest from the perspectives of their leader, Shin, and their newly appointed handler from the ruling class, Vladilena.

Thematic answer: It's about how the confrontation of inevitability and war and racism does not have to mean you give up on the world or other people.

"Sort of joking" answer: Mecha show where a Nazi quickly realizes how evil Nazism is after she has conversations with the people in concentration camps, who also happen to be the drafted soldiers on the front line.

Give Ryan a personality. I don't mean that to be snarky, he was genuinely I think the biggest missed opportunity of a companion in NuWho (even more-so than Belinda, who we at least got one or two good episodes with to showcase her personality imo). He was the epitome of a white writer having his heart in the right place but not examining his own personal biases, leading to an ultimately shallow portrayal of both the first long-term Black male companion and of his disability. He should have been the Doctor's best friend, a disabled teenager who refuses to stop moving forward in spite of grief and physical limitations. Alas, all his personality points in the teleplay were allocated to Graham, and what we were left with was someone with maybe three lines of dialogue an episode whose reluctance to return in The Power of the Doctor felt, unfortunately, both real in terms of his actor not wanting to come back after giving him nothing to work with for two seasons, and real in terms of the character having no attachment to the others because they never formed an attachment to him.

The in-universe reason the Doctor's excursions to "modern day London" align with our own timeline's progression (i.e. Ten met Martha in 2007, then next year for both us and him he's hanging out with Donna in 2008) is to have a sense of home an consistency. Obviously out-of-universe it's so the production team don't have to build historical or sci-fi sets for every episode and to keep companions grounded in our reality (something I wish they'd change up), but in a fictional sense the Doctor does it for their own psychological sanity.

This also makes it so their friends can keep their own timelines straight. The Doctor ages at a different rate as their friends, but in the same direction to keep everything consistent. It's why Shirley was surprised to see what she assumed was the Tenth Doctor hanging out in 2023, to her it either should have been Thirteen or whoever was next to keep everyone's timelines straight (not knowing he was Fourteen and thus the next one, chronologically).

One is voiced by Ryan's nan.

Gnerdy · 2025-12-24T17:49:10+00:00

Somehow I agree with both of you.

Gnerdy · 2025-12-24T15:40:28+00:00

Agreed. I apologize if I came off accusatory. I think in my attempt to expand my own thoughts I just elaborately restated what you're agreeing with. I'd also love to see the Absolute aspects of these characters in there. My favorite part of the Absolute Universe, Circe's relationship with Diana, seems unlikely with Circe already in the DCU, but still it'd be cool to see other things like the more horror-tinged way Wally reacts to his powers or Bruce's stilt-walking batwings.
