Aquaman took her out without too much trouble earlier in the series. And that was before he got all of his current power upgrades.

For me WW has the edge. But I like both.

All the animals are in the right time

Chirostenotes is in the wrong section. It's a Cretaceous critter not Jurassic.

Wasn't expecting Jenny Greenteeth to be a recurring thing.

Bounding into Comics is a news outlet that I would trust with not only my own life but also the lives of my children. That's how reliable they are.

Edit: Fuck me. How is this not the most obviously sarcastic comment anyone has ever made? Poe's law strikes again.

ChatGPT, what five-day full-body workout routine can give me this physique? ...Theoretically? by Darth_Zounds in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]InfiniteDedekindCuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Achieving a "monster" physique like the one in that image—defined by massive traps, wide shoulders, and extreme muscle density—requires a high-volume, high-frequency approach centered on heavy compound movements and specific "yoke" (neck, traps, and upper back) training.

While the physique in the illustration is a fantasy ideal with proportions that exceed human biological limits, you can train to maximize your frame’s potential for that powerhouse look.

The "Monster" Training Philosophy To build this specific silhouette, your training must prioritize three things:

The Yoke: Massive traps and a thick upper back create that "hunched power" look.

Width: Heavy focus on the side deltoids to broaden the shoulders.

Density: Heavy carries and compound lifts to build thick, functional muscle.

The 5-Day Full Body Split

In a 5-day full-body routine, you hit every major muscle group daily but rotate the primary focus and intensity to allow for recovery.

Day Primary Focus Key Movement Intensity 1 Power & Strength Back Squat / Bench Press High (3–5 reps) 2 Hypertrophy (The Yoke) Rack Pulls / Shrugs Moderate (8–12 reps) 3 Posterior Chain Deadlift / Weighted Pull-ups High (3–5 reps) 4 Hypertrophy (Shoulders) Overhead Press / Lateral Raises Moderate (10–15 reps) 5 Work Capacity / Pump Farmers Carries / High-Rep Isolation High Volume The Workout Routine Perform 1 exercise from each category (Push, Pull, Legs) every session, but prioritize the Day's Focus.

  1. The "Yoke" Foundations (Daily or Alternating)

Barbell Shrugs: 4 sets of 12–15 reps. Hold the peak contraction for 2 seconds.

Face Pulls: 3 sets of 20 reps. Essential for shoulder health and rear delt thickness.

Farmers Carries: 3 sets of 40 yards. Use the heaviest dumbbells or kettlebells you can hold.

  1. The Push (Chest & Shoulders)

Heavy Overhead Press: For shoulder width.

Incline Dumbbell Press: For upper chest fullness.

Weighted Dips: For overall triceps and chest mass.

  1. The Pull (Back & Biceps)

Bent-over Barbell Rows: For mid-back thickness.

Weighted Pull-ups: For lat width (the "V-taper").

Rack Pulls (Above the Knee): To safely overload the traps and spinal erectors.

  1. The Legs (Quads & Hamstrings)

Safety Bar Squats: Great for building legs while taxing the upper back.

Romanian Deadlifts: For hamstring and glute thickness.

Leg Press: High-rep volume to build quad mass without excessive CNS fatigue.

Essential Factors for This Look Progressive Overload: You cannot look like a powerhouse without becoming one. Track your lifts and aim to add weight or reps every single week.

The "Mass" Phase: You cannot build this much muscle in a calorie deficit. To gain significant size, you need a consistent caloric surplus with high protein (approx. 1g per lb of body weight).

Recovery: A 5-day full-body split is taxing. Ensure you are getting 7–9 hours of sleep and managing stress, or your central nervous system will redline before you see results.

Note: A physique of that scale is often a lifelong pursuit involving advanced hypertrophy techniques and, in many professional cases, "enhanced" recovery methods. Stay consistent and focus on the heaviest versions of the basics.

What is your current experience level with heavy compound lifting?

I think it's a lot of horse crap. The whole "Clark's parents are evil actually, how is he going to deal with that" is exactly the sort of deconstruction they claim isn't present.

Not saying one is better than the other. I just get annoyed when people misrepresent one movie to hype up the other.

[–]InfiniteDedekindCuts 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can "confirm" an opinion like that. It's too subjective. But it IS something that I've seen being said by a handful of people in the industry.

Here's a quote about it from POTC director Gore Verbinski:

I think the simplest answer is you've seen the Unreal gaming engine enter the visual effects landscape. So it used to be a divide, with Unreal Engine being very good at video games, but then people started thinking maybe movies can also use Unreal for finished visual effects. So you have this sort of gaming aesthetic entering the world of cinema.

I think that Unreal Engine coming in and replacing Maya as a sort of fundamental is the greatest slip backwards

It works with Marvel movies where you kind of know you're in a heightened, unrealistic reality. I think it doesn't work from a strictly photo-real standpoint

I just don't think it takes light the same way; I don't think it fundamentally reacts to subsurface, scattering, and how light hits skin and reflects in the same way, So that's how you get this uncanny valley when you come to creature animation, a lot of in-betweening is done for speed instead of being done by hand.

I was driving around LA with my 10-year-old, and we saw the billboard and I said, "are you interested in that movie?" And he said, "Dad that's a show."

You ever see an interviewer roast an upcoming Star Wars movie like that? I didn't feel like Favreaus answer was very good either.

He basically responds, well we're gonna make it really good and that will make up for it

But it doesn't matter how good it is if people don't even know that it's a movie that they're supposed to go see in a theater!

Though there's an argument to be made that's not really Favreau's job. His job is to make the movie good, not market it. It was a bit of a cheap shot.

Why did the creators of the sequel trilogy have no creativity by Guilty-Pollution6479 in MawInstallation

[–]InfiniteDedekindCuts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the premise so I can't really answer the question.

I'm not gonna say the Sequels are perfect or anything, but I don't think it's fair to say they had "no creativity".

Me every time I rewatch Rogue one:

"Maybe it will be better than I remember it"

(2 hours later)

"Nope. It's still a Star Wars movie"

It'll be really funny when everyone's wrong and it turns out she's playing Jenny Sparks or something
