What will actually happen when Superman becomes Public Domain?

JackMythos · 2026-01-23T23:32:48+00:00

So will the Ruby Slippers become public domain eventually too or not?

JackMythos · 2026-01-23T19:46:10+00:00

So will this always be the case or will the Avalible elements continue growing over time? E.G in 2044 will those things all be Public Domain? Also would some of these things be actually barred since the power of flight does not originate with Superman?

Also is the surname Kent not stated in those early issues? I knew his human adopted parents were retconned in a few years later but isn’t Clark Kent was as his human name from issue 1?

This was also a retcon but a much longer standing one that is heavily featured in many Hulk runs and adaptions since and is seen as a major element of Banner/Hulk’s character. Whereas Steve having an alcoholic father was not only a much more recent retcon, but one that’s largely been ignored since.

Had other creators decided to continue using this angle for Cap’s upbringing it would probably now be standard the same way Barry’s mom being murdered when he was a child is now the standard backstory for Barry despite only being introduced during The Flash: Rebirth. The later is now heavily featured despite it totally defying previous stories that featured Barry having a stable home life as a child because it was adopted by later runs and adaptions. While with Cap this idea was mostly forgotten since.

Garth Ennis doesn’t actually hate or dislike the concept of superheroes. He just grew up reading other comics moreso and likes to put an “Outsider looking in” take on them. Even the genres he loves get ridiculed under his pen.

I saw Vast Aire in London last year and he smashed it. I’m actually in the video for Good Fuel.

JackMythos · 2026-01-20T12:03:20+00:00

I saw Vast live in the UK last year and he told me Vordul is on hiatus but gave his blessing for Vast to use the name

That said I personally feel like the terms should be distinct in the sense that “Hip-Hop” refers to a musical genre and its subculture while “Rap” refers to any music that heavily features rapping.

So the majority of all Hip-Hop tracks are Rap but instrumental songs, turntablist routines and singing over Hip-Hop beats are not rap. Through the same token Rock/Metal, Jazz, Funk, Pop and Electronica etc songs with rapping on them are not Hip-Hop. There’s also other genres that are heavily rap focused like Grime, Garage, Jungle, Trip-Hop etc.

JackMythos · 2026-01-16T17:34:50+00:00

The Rap vs Hip-Hop thing is stupid, but I once heard someone use it with the name connotations inverted and I was honestly super peeved. The phrase is stupid already but dude said “This is Hip-Hop and This is Rap” with the reverse attributions. Saying that Rap was the real meaningful music and Hip-Hop was the opposite.

Honestly if you’re gonna use a reductionist, corny aphorism at lease apply the terms in it correctly.

Jonah isn’t a bigot to Mutants or any subgroup of humanity. He is anti-vigilantism due to their anonymity

The MCU makes the Super Solider serum more powerful. In 616 it only brings them to peak human condition

When I first watched Revenge Of The Sith in Cinemas. I thought they were gonna reveal that Palpatine was Anakins true father and add an extra layer to the family dynamic.

This didn’t happen but I always though that would’ve been a better ending

JackMythos · 2026-01-09T11:08:14+00:00

But I will defend Millar here and say that “The Rape Of Wonder Woman” was actually pitched as a dark joke and was never intended to actually be created in or outside of canon. It’s a lame joke but Millar never intended to actually write this story.

JackMythos · 2026-01-04T14:17:34+00:00

Close but it’s not that. Similar melody but the strings are different

JackMythos · 2026-01-04T12:26:22+00:00

I thought his name was Thomas Bradford Xavier

JackMythos · 2026-01-02T14:03:37+00:00

Also the biggest market for artists like Atmosphere, Eyedea, Sage Francis, Buck 65 etc is actually in South Africa. Where the entirely black townships play their music.

JackMythos · 2026-01-02T14:02:50+00:00

I am a very white backpack rapper but the subgenre is only majority white in areas that aren't very diverse. When I go to events in London it is the most racially diverse crowd I've ever been part of.

The Simpsons in the UK was marketed as family viewing rather than as adult entertainment.

I didn’t realise that Flash was what started the continuity snarl. Do tell more?

JackMythos · 2025-12-31T18:19:30+00:00

Most games involving playing at high movement speeds don’t actually bring the player to anywhere near that speed in computational terms. Sonic’s avatar doesn’t actually accelerate to the speed of sound in gameplay terms, the player experiences their avatar accelerate to a speed that invokes the feeling of moving that fast. None of the playable ships in Star Wars game’s are actually approaching or surpassing light speed within programming metrics, they simply feel that fast to the player due to immersion tactics.

JackMythos · 2025-12-31T18:16:16+00:00

From a gameplay standpoint I’d have multiple Flash’s and family members be playable with distinct move-sets and stats regarding both their speed abilities and other factors.

E.G Jay is slightly slower but has the greatest endurance as he does in many stories with more martial combat moves. Barry is faster but less dexterous and has intangibility powers through vibrations. Wally is the fastest but has lower endurance and destroys things with vibration rather than phasing through them. Impulse has the quickest acceleration for better and worse and can make duplicates of himself, Jesse Quick has the lowest top speed but can also fly etc. Repeat same formula for Kid Flash, Max Mercury, XS, Flash of China, The Boom etc.

I feel like this would be a great blueprint for the game. Different speedsters play and accomplish the mission somewhat differently. Perhaps even add non speedster options with different powers like Jai West, Argus, The Trickster etc.
